Our Commandeir-in-Chief was Supt. Crawford, who, like every true leader, thinks not of himself but of his followers and thereby wins t.he conndence of all, by his splen- did leadership. After submitting to a rigid mental and physical examination, we came out victori- ous, with very few casualities and were entered on the roster of the full-fledged Fresh- men. We had an ambition to reach the highest rank of High School lifef that of a Senior, so we enlisted for four years. We were not required t.o enlist in this setrvice without guidance. General Marshall Weber was chosen as our guide. With adequate preparatio.n, we eagerly answered the call to arms one bright morn- ing, and were put into the battalion with Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Lieut. Paul Ramsey was selected from among our own ranks. So, too were his able assista.nts, Lieutenants Betty Fowler, Ruth Matthews, Bob Bickle, and Louraine Roller. Heroes do not wait for t.he enefmy to come to them, so we went forth to win great vic- tories. With such a splendid staff of oHicers, we began rigid training to take the hard knoc-ks we expected to encounter on the battlefield of the Educational War. Led by Commander Crawford, we were called to the field of action on first year Algebra, which we conquered after many hard skirmishes. We soon learned that it was impossible to outwit such a wide-awake leader, so we settled down to hard work. Under General Wise, we entered the Held of General Science and won by a narrovi margin. We knew that a desperate battle must be waged on the English field of warfare. We proved that we' were fair marksmen, because we conquered the King's English, although the results were somewhat inde-cisive. In t.he various vacational fields, where we, as true soldiers, were develoving the attitude of self reliance, and learning the manipulation of tools and materials by ac- tuallv using them, we were ablet to withstand minor engagements. Our instructors, all understanding Generals, believed that children in the indus- trial classes learn best when they can see things done, and when they do them them- selves, so boys and girls alike had a chance to enter the shops and various fields of in- dustry and actually do the work. Experience in this p.hase1 of our education will ben- ent us throughout life. S'nce we were simewhat immature socially, we did not hope to enjoy all the privi- leges of Upperclassmen , but on Halloween we were fortunate enough to be permit- ted to visit with the spooks at the home of Ida Hoffman. At different times we caught a glimpse of all of the grand affairs that were in store for us. The year passed quickly, and wet grew taller and stronger. Brave soldiers that we were, we kept our ranks intact, and in imagination, erected a flagpole, and .hoisted our colors one-fourth of the way up the .staff. Our ambitious band enrolled for the second year of service, but this time' we were Sophomores. Soldiers of a .higher rank called us Softies but our courage was un- daunted. Our critics seemed to have forgotten that they themselves had but lately risen from that rank. Again t.he noise of battle was heard all over the campus. Ida Hoffman wfs made our Lieutenant with Ruth Matthews, Lois Ickes, Esther Brown and Elzada Henson as her able assistants. General J. Marshall Weber retained his office. Socially, our Scphomore year was somewhat more eventful, as we were learning to make public appearances with more assurance. We had a drill, or as it was proper- ly called, a skating parting staged in the Van Wert Y. W. C. A. There were no casual- ties but several minor injuries occasioned by Hour shocks . The end of the year found our banner floating at half mast. However, this did not signify that we ,had lost, but that we had conquered one-half of the distance to the top. How freouently is success followed by disappointment. At this time we were saddened by the resignation of our General, Mr. J. Marshall Weber, who had led us F tviiimiirmirriifmi. ..rm1rRY1rrm:rax1r1anrm1rm' ' rm: T s t . ' ?1
