EPILOGUE Again and again throughout our Yearbook you have seen the symbol that appears on this page. Have you studied it wondered about its meaning analysed it ? If you have read our book carefully and thoughtfully you are aware that this Epilogue is the concluding section of our Yearbook, and it is also the Epilogue of the one hundred and twenty-five year story of the Academy. It is especially this second phase of the Epilogue that gives you the key to our symbol. First there is a PHOENIX, the mirac- ulous bird the Egyptians associated with the sun-god. According to a fable the bird would be consumed in fire, and would then rise in youthful freshness from its own ashes. The Academy has already flourished in three locations: first, in what is now Central Park: then on the Hudson, just below Yonkers: and now. for almost thirty years, here in Tuxedo Park. Who can deny with certainty that our Academy will not rise again from the ashes of the present im- molation in some new location? Even if it does not appear again as a revitalized school, it will live again in each Alumna. Just as Paul wrote to the Christians of his day ’You are my Epistles, written in my blood' so is each Alumna the personifi- cation of the Academy and its ideals. Then there is the HOUR GLASS, with the sands of time running out and how quickly they have seemed to flow during these last months as the fateful date — June 1972 — drew near! There is the ROAD, winding out of sight, reminding you — and us — of the end of the road, or more hope- fully the possibility that when we reach that point we shall find that it isn’t really the end after all — that, instead, a new road branches off from this one and leads to an even more beautiful spot for a new begin- ning

There is the SETTING SUN an- other hopeful sign, for day is fol- lowed by night, but then there is another DAY. Who can predict that there will not be a new DAWN for the Academy? Since the first Yearbook was pub- lished at the Academy almost twen- ty years ago. its title has been CHAS- TELLUX, a name chosen because of the first building given to and occu- pied by the Academy at Tuxedo Park. This explains the TOWER in the symbol, familiar to every Alum- na who has attended the Academy in this, its final — at least for the present — location the tower of CHASTELLUX. A word, too, about the symbol on this page — with its SHIELD, SWORD and CROWN. All three are reminders of CAMELOT, the theme that runs like a golden thread throughout our book. On the SHIELD is the SEAL of the Academy, and the CROWN re- calls our MOTTO, visible on the SHIELD: NOBLESSE OBLIGE If you, our Readers, have within you the power to restore, rebuild, revi- talize our Academy, we hope that our story of its last year will kindle the spark that will provide the igni- tion needed to perform the feat and for whatever you have done to help the Academy during its one hundred twenty-five year history Thank you! and remember There's simply not a more congenial spot for happ’ly-ever-aftering than here in Camelot 121 our on dear A M S V
