The Legend of the Phoenix Let us admire the colors that embellish the phoenix. The back of his golden neck is covered with a down of saffron. Purple shines upon his throat. Rays of gold and fire shoot from his wings, impatient to be seen. His tail is colored with the purest gold. These rich colors emerge from a background of radiant iris, shading into each other with a magic that enchants the eye. His eye has the brilliance of the clearest diamond. His colors can only be compared to the lustre oj precious stones blended by the skill of an artist. A double crest decorates the head of this graceful bird. The crest covers his brain, seat of his intelligence, workshop of his meditations, and container of his knowledge. From his early Greek beginning until well into modern times the fabulous phoenix has found its place in the life of man and in the school of John S. Battle. The phoenix can be found on the state seals of Hawaii in 1952, and Virginia in 1877. The city of Phoenix, Arizona was named after this proud bird. And at John Battle the yearbook bears the name of the phoenix. The Battle phoenix feeds on the students' emotions. It lives on the agonies of failure, the tears of defeat, the joys of victory, and the sounds of laughter. The phoenix can never die as long as one student can give the emotions on which it lives. And so he is named the Eternal Bird. Hence, the name of this yearbook is the Phoenix. The pages that follow contain a glimpse of a year that has passed and will never be lived again. Thereby, the Phoenix, like its mythical namesake, is eternal for these same pages have captured in pictures and words the year of 1975.
