i library of the Clan' of 19.22 OUR years ago we entered'Culver as heroic soldiers, expecting to go out at once and make plans for battle. VVe were, however, greatly disappointed when we were taken out on the dry field and drilled in what we call the Manual of Arms, which seemed to us then to be nothing but an unnecessary element in mili- tary life. Our plebe year passed with what we called tortures and sorrows, and we came back in September as old men. We all admit that the stripe weighed our arms down and, of course, everyone looked at us. Our yearling year passed with little doing, and then came our two-stripe period. We all became more or less dignified, however. This period was marked by the construction of Chateau Thierry and Argonne Barracks. ' Our three-stripe and last year has come, all of us now are supposed to be sort of grandpas to the new men. We were greatly honored this year by the visit of General Payot of the French Army, and we know that it will be a period of distinc- tion for ,22 in the future. We are now leaving Culver forever, fellows, and together we must face life's work. But let us not forget, as we say good-by, that it is-our duty to ourselves, our class, and to our school always to maintain the high standards of Culver men. Page
