THF ARSENAL CANNON ll M - iAMWM!NMN ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,, A J- . . ,,,,, -MJ made our boys official R. O. T. C. students. XYe received our first army officer a few days later and the military work started on a new basis. Later the regulation army uniform was issued, and equip- ment was received at the school but not issued. Then in September of the year 'IQ we, the class of 'lune '20, enter- ed into our fourth year of training, the last year before completing our second phase of life. This was a year of many activities as we were nearing the end of our High School days and many things were to be accomplished. XYe turned our thoughts toward our boys in France and on November II, we witnessed the planting of a tree for each boy who had been in active service. The pupils and parents who were present at these exercises appreciated them to the fullest extent. During this year we began to realize that seniors have a great duty, which for years, they had been neglectingg that was to care for the freshmen at Tech. ln consequence, through a new organization called the Big Sisters League, each senior girl was given several freshmen girls whom they called little sisters. The organization was for the good of both the older and the younger girls. This or- ganization proved so successful that now it will, no donbt, be a per- manent organization at Tech. As the Little Sisters were not to be excluded from the social activities of the year, the Big Sisters gave them many parties, such as a Hard Times Party on April 20, IQZO, at which they had a great time with all the eats 'ii everything. Un November 14, IQIQ, the new Armory building was hnished, a building that has been very much appreciated by the military depart- ment, as it has given ample room for drilling in had weather. Also it has provided a rille gallery where the boys learned to use the rifle in target work. On january 15, 19.20, our first real step to organize the June '20 class was taken. At a most exciting meeting of all seniors these officers were elected: Howard Hates, l'res., Thelma Morgan, Vice- Pres., liathryne XYilhelm, Sec., and liolmert Hynes, Treas. Clarence Drayer was chosen unanimously as our mighty Sergeantfat-Arms. On Saturday, March o, logo, we had our greatest victory in vears, when our basket-ball team ran away with the honors at'the'State Sectional Tournament. This was our first sectional victory but not by far the last, as our intentions lie along the same line for-the com- ing year. The class held a party at which a playlet and stunts were given, followed by eats, which were loyal to the Tech colors, and dancing. As a final demonstration of the ability of the June ,zo class, Prun- ella, the finest of fine plays, was produced at the Murat Theatre. Qwing to the great demand for seats, a second performance was held inthe afternoon, and the regular performance at night on the :oth day of April, IQZO. There was not a seat to be had for the evening per- formance and the afternoon house was well filled. After this last activity we were ready, after having fully prepared ourselves, to enter our third great phase of life. Xie leave our Tech for the ones who are following in our footsteps, hoping that we mav return some day to find our great Tech Greater Tech. T
