As part of a lesson the Middle Ages, a ninth-grade teacher spent a day teaching about medieval heraldry. To spice things up, he offered extra credit to any student who took the time to research his or her family history. The students' enthusiasm made the lesson a success. From the information provided, can you determine the crest and motto belonging to the family of each student?

Last Names: Cole, Killman, Nathanson, Ruff, Zeigler
Crest: griffin, helmet, mastiff, rising sun, three stars
