Does a compound statement need to end with an "else" ?

I know  -

if (expression) {
        statement;
} elsif (expression) { 
        statement;
}

works but I've never seen a block like that in a book yet.  I usually
see something like -

if (expression) {
    statement;
} elsif (expression) { 
    statement;
} else {
        statement;
}

I've posted the following code to use as an example.  Any critique of
the code in addition to my specific question is welcome:)  I just don't
see a reason to stick an "else" statement on the end of that block.
