As we remember these words spoken so well by alumnus & Sunset teacher
Dr. H. H. Johns, Jr. '35 at every Homecoming since 1952,
we are still driven by the Spirit of Sunset...
"I am the Spirit of Sunset. I am the symbol of the heritage of splendid achievement and fine people who have made Sunset what it is today. You who are students should strive to develop into individuals of whom Sunset can be proud, remembering always our motto, 'Spirit, Knowledge, Friendship'. You will increase your knowledge and your power to reason. You will develop and keep throughout your life worthy and true friendships with other Bisons. You will uphold the Bison tradition of good sportsmanship, fighting hard but fairly; seeking not self-glory, but glory for Sunset High School. On the playing field of life, I, the spirit of Sunset, will be with you. Sunset shall emerge triumphant now and forever".
