WE ARE OMEGA 1981! Why Omega? Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, is the last of a series. Our class, the class of 1981, is the last class to end its high school years in this building. Is the end of school the final end? Woody Allen puts it cleverly in his “speech to the graduates:” “More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wis- dom to choose correctly.” When Robert Frost was faced with a crossroads, he wrote, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” These statements imply that after we finish school we begin again. So Omega, an end, leads to Alpha, a beginning. 16
