 The moon is in its crescent form in the very first quarter of the month, or the start of the lunar month or the New Moon.As the New Moon it symbolizes the bright new beginning of a less-privileged individual to elevate her (perhaps also her family's) status.As crescent, the moon specifically means "waxing", "increasing", and "to grow", as students of the Night High School are urged to grow mentally, physically, and mostly, spiritually.
