twenty eight Tank Corps Poem We are the Seniors of nineteen hundred nineteen, No brighter class has this school ever seen: We have learned so much we can learn no more, As you will know when you read this o'er. Our number has decreased since we made our debut As a jolly lot of Freshmen so kindly and true: Trials and troubles have been ours galore, But we have conquered them all and shall still conquer more A goodly number were called to fight For freedom, humanity, justice and right: We point to their records with pardonable pride, And trust they'll return from the other side. We, the faithful nineteen, who have reached the goal, For which we have striven with might and soul, Have labored hard by day and night, To reach the summit of our present height. And now that our trials and labors are done, Our hopes all fulfilled, and victory won, We pass to real life with hopes flying high- To our dear school and teachers we now bid GOODBYE COLDA PARISH

Our company has always taken a prominent part in social activ- ities and has not fallen down this year under Captain Carpenter. A Y. M. C. A. circle of entertainment was originated and each soldier and officer gave a party at his barracks. One evening we all went down to Major Ice's commissary and had an informal good time. We espe- cially enjoyed mess, which was served in true military style. Banquets and receptions were given for the company occasionally, and we took part in almost all the regimental affairs. Our corps has also been well represented in athletics. While we do not have a number on the regular team, we have one well worth men- tioning, Park Weaver, who is the captain of the team and the star player. A majority of the girls' team is from our company. Captain Anna Underwood and Manager Vivian Flowers 'are both from the tank corps. We have the honor of having in our corps a discharged sailor, Herbert Toothman, who sailed the high seas for nearly a year at the time the submarines were the most active. Taken as a whole, the tank corps cannot be surpassed, for they are an invincible company who will go Over the top for the last time next May with signal honor and a well-earned victory will be theirs. As you were, Gentlemen! Forward! March! One! Two! Three! Four! FLOSSIE. EDDY. Keeper Senior Archives. twenty seven
