On Thursday, May 22, at 10:10 a.m. Archie Williams Associated Student Body (ASB) put on the last school-wide rally of the year. The rally began at the beginning of third period in the Carl “Red” Brown gymnasium. Senior ASB member Jordan Oliver-Roa and senior class president Jasper Cohen acted as commentators, and students wore white to take full advantage of the black lights set up in the gym for the event. 

The rally kicked off with a Dance Troupe performance and an upperclassman free-throw shooting competition, which doubled as an educational Peer Resource-led activity. Archie Williams senior Carolyn Morris and junior Grady Stewart were each told to take a free throw, and upon making the shot, the game organizers asked them a true or false question about nicotine. After, there was a brief appearance from Captain Condom, where predecessor and Archie Williams senior Leonardo Olivotti had a lightsaber battle with junior Santiago Desruisseau for the role of Captain Condom, with Santiago ultimately claiming victory and the title for the 2025-26 school year.

Following the dramatic battle, two volunteers from each grade took part in a competitive game of musical chairs, but with a twist. Before sitting down, each participant had to grab an everyday item from their grade; for this rally, that included a hair tie, chapstick, and green shoe. Later, each grade participated in a game of “finish the lyric,” where ASB played a 10-second segment of a song and then cut it off, challenging each grade to continue singing without missing a beat. The rally wrapped up with each class president leading their grade in the Falcon chant, ultimately concluding after a final, raucous school-wide chorus.
