Then an official order was issued tha.t we must report'for duty the following Monday morning, When we reported, we were delighted to find Colonel Ficklin in command of our regiment. The assembly call was sounded one afternoon. When all had come to attention, our officers were chosen. VVith our splendid colonel urging us constantly to fight hard, we were soon striving to conquer in the War of Making Grades. The first trench to be captured was the Pennantq After a great deal of liard fighting and after several fiercely fought battles, we won the trench called The Cup. When spring came, about a dozen soldiers were transferred to another branch of the service. The regiment was granted a longer rest period than usual, one day :hiring the spring. We spent this with outdoor sports. Joining forces with the Juniors soldiers in the evening, we hiked to a woods just outside the town, and had an enjoy- able weenie roast. A short time after this after nine months intensive training, the order was given to breakuranks. All were granted three months furlough. When our furloughs were up, we reported for duty again. We were assigned to Regiment Two, for we were now Sophomores. Our former Colonel had been de- tailed to another field of service. We resumed our smiling, however, when we saw Our new officers. Colonel Rice and Lieutenant Colonel Moore were in command of our two armies. We soon elected our officers: First Lieutenant, Leeperg Second Lieu- tenant, Genchg Clerk and Paymaster, Larson, Correspondent, 'Maddox. Although some of our soldiers were wounded by textbook bombs and zero shrapenels, our Red Cross nurses, the teachers, showed great skill in aiding the injured. A few, who were hit too many times by the zero shrapnels, were left behind the regiment when it went over the top. V V . We spent Halloween night in aiding the Y. M. C. A. in cheering up the Senior Soldiers. All were camouflaged when they came to the Y. M. C. A. hut. The Senior soldiers were the veterans because for over three years they had carried on the War, and had won many decisive battles because of their courage. The Sophomore Soldiers are now preparing for the spring drive for they are expecting many hard fought battles to hold at least. The Cup. So, carry on, brave Sophomores! Carry on!
