------FA i.coN ET- aaaa . a RETROSPECTICN ESTERDAY we entered Castlemontg yesterday we were no more than children. Child- like, we looked in great awe and solemnity upon our coming to this great, beautiful castle of red and white brick and lofty ideals. In an awed sense of fear we beheld the tasks and accom- plishments being completed by those far above us in the schoolis system. We beheld all about us the moulding of mind, body, and character that comes only to youth in the high schools of today. We saw material that was coarse and rough upon entrance leave the Castle gates with the polish of fineness of nobility of character and honor of attainment stamped full upon it. We noticed all about us a strange air of inspiration, and unseen presences whispered words of cheer and advice .... The entire Castle, it seemed, and all in and around it, were conspiring to make of us better knights and ladies. Today . . . all of those worshiped ideals and far-away honors have been sought-and much success has been won. In many pursuits we have excelled, in many we have blazed new trails, set fresh marks to be gained by those who come after us. But the consolation and the reward rest merely in the fact that we have tried, and that we have reaped even a small 'portion of the golden harvest. The stars have been the goal of all, and if the fire of ambition and deter- mination has carried only to the Moon-still is the attainment worthy of the effort. VVe have known real joy, and with it real worth. Courses of study, both academic and phys- ical, have opened the way to rare friendships, not only with other students, but with instruc- tors as well. Now . . . it is over. We leave Castlemontg like a great and inevitable gate, the days and years of our high school life close behind us. Sadness and great joy are curiously intermingled as the truth becomes apparent . . . that for the last time we've met. . . . But tomorrow there awaits a new world! There is a world that is strangely different, changed tremendously in the past few years, one unbelievably removed from that into which came our fathers, even as theirs was different from that of their fathers. ' There are new conditions, new hurdles, new glories awaiting those who enter life today. The road is before us, wide and endless. True, that road will be one leading uphill, and the way an eternal fight. But it will be one well worth making, one destined, if courage and ambi- tion are high, to end in one way only . . . in victory. Youth, as ever, will seek to know what lies beyond the hill. Valiantly will it strive onward, grasping eagerly for the sung and fingers will be singed. But the path ever is ahead, ever stretching out, over the hill, beyond the sunset, to undreamed glory in the end. The future is yours, Crusaders, may you grasp it and its problems with hands that are as eagerly capable as those with which you met problems and life in the Castle. May you mould of it a greater, finer destiny, founded upon the accomplishments fulfilled in the legend-filled realm of Castlemont. il--STAFF Louis Smith, Editor-in-Chief, Helen Griffin, Assistant Editor, Walter Axelrod, Zophiel Bean, Managing Editors, William VVasarhaley, Anne Anderson, Art Editors.
