Glass History Till ' , class of ' 19 licgan its twelve years ' offensive against the forts of kiiiiwlcd.ne with its forces numbering about six, under the experienced coinniaiid of Miss Efifie Wilson. She taught us the rudiments and principles of warfare and drilled us in the use of our literary and mathe- matical weapons. ' hcn fairly over the top and out on no man ' s land, and bullets fell thickly about us so that success seemed hopeless, rein- forcements arrived under the command of Miss Love Lindsey, and our forces were tripled in number. Under licr we ardently struggled for three years, profiting by her training and experience. Few casualities occurred, although some, overcome by wounds received from flying shrapnel or bursting bombs of mathematics, were forced to be carried to the rear, never to return. However, by occasionally drafting recruits our forces remained intact, our commander changing to .Addleman and Pusey suc- cessively. When ammunition ran low some used paper wads, manu- factured in quantity by hand (or mouth) while others were compelled to use their handkerchiefs as gas masks. Our most notorious mischief maker at this time was Worth Hill (Booker), although he was seldom found out. Mnally the shell holes of Grammar and the entanglements of Hi.story were left behind us and we faced the front line of Common School. In our eighth grade these were captured, and as a reward each was decorated with the Diplimia of I ' xonomy Common School, on Com- mencement Day in April, V) 5. I ' lUt the war was not yet over. The Heavy Artillery of High School was iKJt yet silenced, so, laying down a barrage of Energy and Determina- tion, over the top we scrambled and engaged the giants of Latin and Trig. in a struggle that meant Success or Failure. For four years we struggled under the able command of Brumfiel, Cishopp, Harvey and Shera. In the third. Success began to shine through the clouds of war and in the fourth year we emerged from the fight victorious, and celebrated X ' ictory on Commencement Day, . pril, 1919. Although we feel that we have made a credible attack on the Educa- tion sector of the Battlefield of Life, still we realize that our real .struggle lies ahead of us. And as we each take different paths and strive to attain different ideals, may we be endowed with a power of determination that will at last bring us jciy of Success. K. C, ' 19.
