If you got a school ring in 1974, and maybe before and after that year, the ring was inscribed with “Lux Veritas” . We all thought it was a typo. Sallie Echols Leslie told me that Angela Lloyd told her the rest of the story:
The reason the extra syllable was dropped was because the word Veritatis would not fit on the ring. The translation of Lux Veritas is simply the noun Light and the noun Truth. We loved our ring, typo or not.
Amy Feinman, class of 1974, has a cute story about her ring: She’d lost her ring and her dad surprised her with one years later. Amy was touched by the gesture but she had to tell her dad that it was not inscribed correctly and it wasn't HER ring. HER ring had said Lux Veritas, the one he had made for her bore the correct motto Lux Veritatis. Bless his heart, he had the ring made again, this time with Lux Veritas (Amy can’t find this ring either!) | ||
