,Semen QW Twelve long years ago, a group of unruly buck privates kissed their mothers good-bye and marched off for their first day of basic training- reading, writing, and arithmetic. From that time on, things began to happen. We were given recognition during the first six years as the Leaders of the Day after Tomorrow. ln l937 we were transferred to the lunior High Training Station. The work there was tougher, but with annual furloughs from Iune to Sep- tember, we were able to endure it. Then in the unforgettable year of l94U we were promoted to the rank of sophomores. lt was during that year that we began making history. We ranked high in scholastic honors, placed first in the magazine cam- paign, and were well represented in all of the school organizations. Our battle cry was Sometimes down, but never out! The officers of our regiment during that year were: President ,............,.............................,......,... ..,.,,.,,.., R eginald Drew Vice-President ....,....... ,............ R ichard Wylie Secretary ......,...,... ............ ....,................... P a tti Fleck Treasurer .....,.......................,........,...............,,......,,...,....,,........,....,.........,..,.,.. Weldon Siclcles ln l94l we became juniors. Our training was steadily getting harder, but did you ever see a good soldier that couldn't take it? Some of us became officers in the various organizations. Others distinguished them- selves by their work in classes and clubs. ln the spring of the year, we helped to bolster the morale of our upper classmen by a lunior-Senior Prom. We marched triumphantly through our junior year under the direction of: - President ....,,..........,...,..... ....,.,.,..,....,...,.............. C arl Greek Vice-President... .... ...........,. George Schatzman Secretary., ...............,. .....,....,. M iriam McQuate Treasurer .......,,............,...............................,............,....,.........,...,.............,..... Weldon Sickles Finally, in 1942, we were promoted to the highest rank given at Colum- bian High Training Station. Yes, we became seniors. The outstanding events of our last year were the Senior Prom and the selection of a new 'uniform for graduation-the cap and gown. Our officers were: President ................................,...,. ........,......... ...................,.........,,................... R i Chard Wylie Vice-President... ........ ' ,..,,.................. Carl Greek Secretary ............,..,... ,...,....... M iriam McQuate Treasurer ..........,.........,............. .....,.,....,... ..........,.........,...........,............,........,.... G e ne Moore For twelve years we have trained, now we are ready for action. We are prepared to face the world. We're proud of the records that our regiment has made, but they will be small compared to the ones that will be made. Watch while the Class of '43 marches on! -MIRIAM MCQUATE
