DID YOU KNOW?

Our Class symbol, the Griffin, is a marvelous mythical creature! It has an aerial head and a bestial body and is said to watch over kings’ gold as well as the green gold inherent in our forests. Its wings and talons are like those of an eagle, while its body, tail, and back legs are like those of a lion. Very strong and wise, griffins have often been used in heraldry and crests. In Greek and Roman mythology, they were connected to sun gods. In pre-Islamic Iran, the griffin was seen as a symbol of ascension, and new rulers in the early Islamic period used it to convey power. In literature, griffins are featured in The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Dante’s Divine Comedy, and they have had significant roles in films such as Witchcraft and Rebel Moon. 


What a good match, the Class of 1965 and the griffin: strong and wise and powerful!


We thank our classmate, Susan Throckmorton, a world-renowned paper cutting artist, for creating this fabulous image of our griffin.
