Che Acorn % g ALPHA AND OMEGA TEP back now with me to the beginning of this, our final year. We lighted our dead torches at the altar of Knowledge and Inspiration and then, grasping firmly the key of Opportunity, unlocked the door leading to the fulfillment of these. Each painting, adorning the walls of the shining vista of the future, we have brought into life and reality—carrying fearlessly onward our torch. We have made those of the Honor System, clean athletics, clubs, and activities of all kinds, successful. All glow with life! We have passed onward across the threshold of ’26 and frankly took an inventory of ourselves, finding things really worth while, then, continuing our re- search—our follies—now we have come to the last scene, the most glorious of them all—the Senior adorned with the true emblem of his dignity, still holding aloft his torch. Yes, we are that Senior! Look now, his hand 1s on the latch of a door we have not seen before. This is the door swinging outward into the world. Again, in our hands is placed a key—but one, now, of greater opportunity—that of Success in Life. This is the end of Hi School Life but only the beginning of real life. We must pass through the portal of this door out into the world, holding aloft our flaming torch. This is Alpha and Omega. Have you not the key? —FRANcES WILson, ’26. Editor. (29)

Che Acorn MARY FRANCES ALDHIZERY Basket Bally 26 Ga C. Frances ?-Oh, yes, she’s the tall Senior who plays on the basket ball team. She is studious as well as athletic and has many friends around Ole Hi. Frances has decided to become a “schoolmarm” and we wish her success. MYRTLE MAY ALLEY GC. “Bright and sunny and gay, She’s happy all the day.” Myrtle? An attractive, cute blonde. Though serious in school work and makes good grades, when it comes to the “Roanoke College Bunch,” she’s right there. She can sho’ play the piano, too. She will surely make some man happy. Attractive disposition, a real good sport— that’s Grace. She has been a cheerful worker among us. Once a friend, forever a friend. Her laugh causes much amusement, but may she never forget that it will always drive care away in the future as it has for us in the past. HUBERT ROY ALMOND Hi-Y; Football, ’25 Hubert, in other words “Red,” is one of the most likeable boys in his Class. He studies little but gets along somehow. He is a good sport and a true friend. He expects to follow the line of electricity and enter V. P. I. next fall. Here’s to you, “Red.”
