If, during the past semester, you happened to pass by Room 302, up on the third floor you would have noticed a great deal of hurrying and scurrying about. The reason for all this was prompt¬ ed by the student body’s demand for an annual. Faced with the ordeal of leaving school without a publication of any kind, the Seniors wanted something to be done about it, so here it is! We were short on time, so the “annual” became a “magazine.” We had lots of fun working on it and hope you enjoy the “E” Magazine as much as we did. P. S.—In our spare time we also put out “Sand and Steel.” Page Fourteen

The Gary Marksmen ranked first in the Fifth Service Command Match, during five weeks of intensive training at the beginning of the year. The match covered four states: Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The team also rated third among the colle ges in the same match. With the efforts of Sgt. Abel and Sgt. Young the team received major “E” letters this year. Major “E” wnners were: Jim Carson, George Gram, James Halvatgis, Cushman Lineback, Charles Vas, and Don Demonja. The team went to Culver Military Academy to compete in the Mid-Western Match with the Culver boys, and all schools in the Fifth Service Command. A great success was the Military Ball which was held April 27, at the Armory. Commissions were given to officers and non-coms. Medals were also given. All who went enjoyed the affair. We will have some of the team back next year which is a good sign that we will be near the top again. Page Sixteen
