CLASSES OPHOMORES, juniors and seniors compose Sta- dium's classes. They are sometimes in the same rooms with one another, working at the same studies. At the end of three years they graduate as a class, and another group comes in to take their place. Army classes are more separated. The infantry, shown in action in the picture, the cavalry, the artillery. All are different units, working unconnected with each other, but endeavoring to achieve the same end. !Military picture courtesy of U. S. Armyj . pa, . ew....,, Y ' ,A x J- ,A Q. H.: W. ' tw.. fri?
