fx Gite Scltolasftic m THE LAST TOURNAMENT. And the new sun rose bringing the new year. And once more the little knights were called together but for the last tournament. Dawn, noon, and evening came and went and now we were in the twilight of our knighthood. At the beginning of the last tournament we held a meeting and elected the following officers: Francis McHugh, Virginia Ewadinger, Margaret Ryan and William H-olden. In December we gayly prepared the table for the 'Christmas party and New Year's frolic. The castle was filled to capacity, the high towers rang with rnerriment, and their hearts were filled with gayety. As the New Year's chimes echoed out on the cold crisp air the Arthurs would exclaim Happy New Year! God bless you all , and then such kissing, handshaking, and the making of resolutions could never be forgotten by the merry knights. In April the knights pre- sented their big play, The Fortune Teller , by Victor Herbert. This was one of the most ambitious contests of the tournament. The next big event was the crowning of the Blessed Mother at a solemn church cere- mony. A few forest travels and then the last big journey, a trip up the Hudson, an occasi-on when the knights enjoyed themselves to the greatest extent. The legend story ends' in a burst of glory, with flowers, music and congratulations-in short, graduation exercises, when we received our first credentials for entrance in the tournament of life. So with dauntless hearts we -go adventuring, but the buoyant notes of knighthood laughter fall and lie as star dust on the future years. No more the morning' call to the round table is heard calling us to that gay Heeting life, we are called by a strong commland to take our places on the great world's battlefield. And when the last knights has fallen on this battlefield of life, when they have gone down the valley to eternity. may those come cherish our humble efforts and, pray for our souls. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. DOROTHY SMITH z 3 'K IAQ sr. PHILIP Ano sr mms' 1? 5 HIGH SCHOOL 'a rw
