Carnegie Schmidt Stanford Harrison Daniels Senior Class History rT,RAMP, tramp, tramp! Our feet kept time to the beat of our hearts on that early, crisp morning, on September 29, 1831, as General Rich- ards ordered us into our headquarters under the charge of Corporals Morgan, Vandel, and Palmer. We felt very important, for at last we had entered the training school of life at Central in the city of Albany, state of Oregon. We entered as freshman, the lowest rank of the army, and Bud Robertson was made our lieutenant, with Arthur Palmer as our quartermaster-sergeant. While we were obeying strict orders at Central, half a mile away at Madi- son, other young freshmen were tramping to and from duty under orders of Lieutenant Keith Burnett and General McCourt. Even though we were just beginners, we held many honors and made only a few serious mistakes. In the year of 1832 we, the Central and Madison freshmen, w'ere pro- moted to the rank of sophomores and were transferred to headquarters at A.H.S. under the command of Commander-in-chief Putnam, General Hud- son, Corporals Tracy, Lehman, and Spence, and Lieutenant Bud Robertson. Our rank consisted of 175 soldiers, the largest rank ever to be enrolled at A.H.S. This year we were quite wrell represented in the activities of the army. Lieutenant Robertson and Private Ehrlich wron letters in football; also Robertson and Private Frager were on the basketball squad. Many of our privates played in the army band and orchestra. 1933 saw' us promoted to the junior squad under command of Corporals Anderson, Otto, and Miller. Robertson was still our lieutenant. This year Privates James Appelgate, Conn, and Ehrlich, and Lieutenant Robertson won letters in football. Private Frager became yell leader, and Privates Fortmiller, Jane Scott, Shirley Thomas, and Laura Bryant were outstanding in the journalism field. In 1934 we were promoted with happy hearts into the rank of seniors under command of Corporals Chase, Buchanan, and Worley. These four years have been very happy, successful years for us, but now in May, 1935, regretfully we must go out into the field of life in order to make room for the oncoming soldiers who desire to obtain an education.
