We made the polaris prominent as our guide, to remind
us of our principles that were instilled at the Zoo. It was a time of
war, so the sabre was a graphic balance to polaris and the eagle, racing
right, was facing the sabre. The "X" for tenth class, obviously.
But the atomic symbol is a mystery, except that we were all eager as hell
to graduate and go pell-mell into the future.
All I recall from the design debates is that we wanted our crest to be as simple as possible, compared to previous class rings, and we thought we had achieved that goal. Roger Moseley |
