To: O1 Libertas Orientees
On Friday, 15 January 2010. The last day you will spend under our goddess, Libertas. As the name goes, some of you will freely move on to other houses, whilst some of you will stay under the name of Lignum. But names don’t really matter, do they? We’ve made friends, both with each other as well as your OGLs. We’ve cheered together, we’ve screamed together, we’ve danced together, we’ve laughed together. And together, we’re all part of NJC.
To all JH1′s still in Lignum, seeing your smiles is what makes us feel that every preparation we have made, was worth it.
To all JH1′s moving on to other houses, seeing your tears and your sighs is what makes us sad that we can’t have you in our house anymore. We will always miss you.
To all JH3′s that will be moving on as well, we will always cherish the moment we’ve spent with you, the somewhat older, but just as new to this community. We wish you the best of luck.
No matter which house you are assigned to, be it Aerius Aqua Ignis Solaris Terra. Please always remember that it is your house. The place where you belong. All your OGLs hope that you would love your house as much as we love Lignum and make it a better place for whoever is to come.
And of course, we hope Lignum will always have a place in you, because you will always have a place in Lignum. <3

“After the darkest night and gloomy times, a shoot appears on the barren land. Young, small, new. Gazing upon the old wood that used to grow large and strong beside it. Now dead and seemed to crack upon the slightest of breeze. An ancient remnant of whatever the young shoot used to be. Strong, able, alive…
That didn’t bother our young shoot, as he stood there lively and happy.
Living the life, It stood there strong, Going on no matter what, Never backing down, Under the unforgiving nights, Many thought it would die.
However, the shoot is still growing, nowhere near what it would eventually be. But its alive, living the legacy of what was in the past. Because now, Lignum is back…”
