The yearbook took its name from of AO the popular local slogan of that time, ‘‘Acorns-to-Oak, That’s Roa- noke!,”’ and was identified with student development. Just as an acorn becomes an oak, so the students, entering high school with their talents in the seed, may grow into mature, sturdy citizens. Then, as the emphasis shifted from the individual to the entire high school membership, the yearbook became known as the ACORN. The boast “Acorns to Oak, watch Roanoke!” was justified until Roanoke’s amazing prosperity gained her the title ‘‘Magic City.” To meet this expansion, a new school—Jefferson—opened its doors d @in 1924. Here the yearbook became an inseparable part of school life, documenting the progress of generations of young Virginians who took their places as leaders in business society, education, and government. Now we present to you the fifty-second Acorn, fuller grown, richer in tradition, adding proudly to the Legend of the Acorn. —SHARON BROWN Yvonne, Best ox Luc | eae) Leer) C rr AOX Ri rrum td ee) CLL ie ; . i om yo iy : WHO TVOACL Ge af is Veoste4 (Lo 4Or Un A ULL 504-00 5 P yi : 3 Ps ‘wi fo oR yy BF, Bee 3 ? ff} 5 « ‘dem mes by Gs 6 {NAY s poe P ae JD A4)
