.-.- -FALCON ET--W-M--M REMINISCENCE OFT GLOW of lights. People moving toward the long tables. Young people, radi- ant girls, and straight-shouldered young men. It is to be a gay party, one which they have awaited with eagerness. Already are their leaders gathering in the doorway of the ban- quet room. They are happy, too. They have watched these young friends grow. They have pointed out to them the finer things along the path, shown them the most beautiful Howers, told them of the mountains which afforded the best view. This company had dined together once before. It was at high noon. There was music and laughter, and songs and dancing, but this is a little different. The graduates show their best manners, they are ladies and gen- tlemen tonight. Leis and swaying palms . . . a pleasant evening. The Senior Assembly! Farewell, friends. What is that? A volcano erupting? But that doesn't look like lava .... What can it be? Letls look. Oh, the prophecy! And what can this man be doing? He's found something in the sand. It seems to have writing on it. What does he say? A will? Several wills? Hm-. But the meeting of Seniors which will be the most memorable is the Senior Ball. The night of nights-every girl and boy has looked forward to it, and here it is at last. What dream could come true more perfectly? Girls in new formals and boys in smart, black suits sway under the palms to the rhythmic strains of an orchestra. Hours and hours of happiness-youth. The Seniors have invited their other friends tonight, some who are left behind to carry on the work, who are looking forward to their own Senior Ball. And there are older ones who have come back to visit the halls of their memories. Soft lights and sweet music .... We come back again, back to Castlemontg we leave the enchanted isles. Again, on grad- uation night, the solemn lines of the ritual echo in the halls. Another class is leaving . . . a class of great spirit, loved and loving. Row after row of youthful Figures sit on the plat- form. How very, very young they look, and not a little sad. They are glad, glad that they have accomplished something, attained a goal, but there is sadness in their faces, too, the sadness of departure. For the last time we've met within these halls .... Farewell These are quite unique occurrences. lanuary 19 Ianuary 25 Ianuary 27 February 1 February 14 February 24 March 2 March 7 March 17 March 24 March 31 April 7 April zo Souls are thrilled again at dedication ceremony.

The roll of prominent organ- izations includes the following: Typing, Ten- nis, Wrestlers, Girl Scouts, G. A. A., Offi- cials, Hi-Y, Swimming, Stamp, Block C, Scribblers, Excalibur, Honor Society, Girl Reserves, Science, and Golf. Activities among the clubs for the term in- cluded numerous luncheons, teas, special pro- grams, and assembly performances. On April 19 the Girl Scouts, organized this term, pre- sented an entertaining assembly to members of the Girls' League. Castlemont's Hi-Y Club, after challenging the lixcalibur Club to a basketball game, suc- ceeded in trouncing the lordly ones in Fine fashion. Another Hi-Y special was the pres- entation of an assembly to the Boys' Federa- tion, May 20. Feverish Philatelistsf' otherwise known as the Stamp Club, displayed stamps of all nations in several exhibits, and plan to enter an exhibit at Hunter's Hall during October. 1111111111111 1'1'1111'11f lo 111' 111611 111 l'!'!1IIt'lilIg their .f1'111111' 11.v.vr.f.m11'111 for rhr nav! The Scribblers, a group of aspiring young journalists, composed of representatives from each homeroom, met regularly to practice the interesting art of writing school gossip for publication in The C1'liC'1'. Challenging Fremont and San Leandro to matches, the Tennis Club endeavored to add glory to Castlcmont's athletic honors. They were defeated by a well-coached team from Fremont. Placing of May baskets, colorfully and daintily filled, on each and every Castle door as a tolten of greeting and a reminder of Spring, was but one of the rounds of activ- ities sponsored by the Girl Reserves, another of the school's up-and-coming organizations. G. A. A. members entertained and made merry at a bean banquet held April 20. At this banquet members of the Ofhcials' Club were presented with their awards. Melvin Sparks, Castlemont representative to the Knights of the Round Table conven- tion at San lose, took second place in the ora- torical contest with his speech, VVhat Ex- calibur Means to Me.
