The Mid-Year Class Hats off! Here comes the Mid-Year Class of 1932 passing in review. Six years ago its members became ordinary soldiers in the great army of East High School. For two years they were constantly drilled in the use of their weapons, and taught to conduct themselves as true soldiers of this noble army and when they had learned these things they were commissioned as lieutenants, with a few responsibilities and a great sense of importance. Drilling, marching, with heads up and eyes straight ahead they moved onward to their next promotion. Captains, wiser than the lieutenants—envious of the majors. More drilling, more marching, more conquests, until they became majors with a few medals on their coats, won by strength and knowledge and social success. Then they came to the highest rank that the East High army could offer. They were colonels then, with a great deal of responsibility and a secret knowledge of their importance. Still they marched onward, and one night they were commissioned from the great Army of East High School to the still greater Army of the World. This is their story, and now the sound of their ever-marching feet grows dimmer—dimmer. They are gone. Wish them luck in their new conquests. Margaret Stroble I HI
