PHO IDRES OO SOPHOMORE ARMY HOLDS STRONG FORTIFICATION Ninetyfnine sophomore soldiers, rank on rank, filed through the por' tals of Lebanon high school, the sec' ond week in September and prepared to talae possession. They had been sent as a rear guard by the graduatf ing sophomores and were prepared to hold the fort against all invaders. They encamped in four rooms, un' der Coloncls Ralph Howard, Jeanette McQueen, Maurice M. Jones, and Violet McColley and began to send out scouts to learn the truth about various reports, such as an election and a mess call. Cn Ssptember 18, having decided it was time to choose a general, this mighty army proceeded to call a meeting of the entire camp. Jack McLaughlin received the high honor to direct all forces. The battalion next chose Corinne Pulliam to serve as LieutenantfGeneral. Williani Shirley, private of the line, received the position of Aidefdefcamp. After much thought and by a salute of nine' tyfnine guns, Mrs. Mary Ann Mclnf tyre and Mr. Paul V. Neuman were elected to the posts of Commanders' infchief. This closed the discussion, and the regiments retired from the battlefiield to parley among them' selves concerning the annual Soldiers' Ball to be given early in the next month. Blithely the hardy soldiers went their way planning a weiner roast for the night of October 2. They pref sented their petition to Commandersf infchief Mclntyre and Neuman. With a flourish of quilled pens, the petition was signed, and the plans went merrily on. General McLaughlin appointed the following for entertainment duty: Private Frances Robison, Private Nettie Margaret Neptune, General l i l Jack McLaughlin, and Lieutenant' General Corinne Pulliam to be assist' ed by Commanderfinfchief Neuman. For kitchen duty General Mcf Laughlin designated the following privates: Jean Ritchie, Mary Kern, Warreii Myers, Suzanne Ulen, and Mary Catherine Virtue, advised by Commanderfinfchief Mclntyre. Being recently graduated from West Point Freshman school, they were unused to the discipline of old General Weatlier Man, and forgot to place their petition before him to be signed, He immediately vetoed the weather bill and refused to be turned from his course. After a war conference the officers of the troop decided to go over the weather mans veto and hold the weiner roast as they had planned on October 2, but they held it in a tent furnished by the Wair Department After a program of soldierly tal' ent the entire troop played games directed by Commanderfinfchief Neuman and danced to the martial airs furnished by Private William Taylor and his radio. Not content with merely being musical, the soldiers got out their lifes and drums and began to practice with all of their might and main. Fourteen members of the sophomore camp joined the army band for the glory of their regiments. The hardy soldiers next reached the decision that softball was the recreaf tion for them. A team of privates began to practice almost immediately. After a series of six battles, fought on the plains of Memorial park, the soldier team was declared victor with a season of four wins and two losses, thus receiving the title of softball champs for the year of 1936. At the field, Colonel McQueen was recalled to be put in command of another regiment, and Colonel C. E. A. Moore took over the duties. After the sophomores were firmly settled under partial new management, the Pennant business manager announced the subscription campaign for the second military enrollment, and the four regiments drew up in a line for skirmishes. Wheii the dust of the fray had cleared away, it was found that Colonel Howards detail of pri' vates had won the iight in the sophof more ranks. All was quiet along the sophomore front until in February, when the annual Cedars drive began. With the taste of victory from the Pen' nant campaign still there, the entire battalion prepared to contest the senf ior encampment. Although the batf tle was a losing one, Private Mary Catherine Virtue showed extraordif nary bravery in the line of duty- selling thirtyfiive Cedarsgand was awarded the field medal for all of the divisions. The last act of the enterprising sophomores was much to their credit. Edward Bressler, a private, placed in the Scholastic News Examination :ponsored by the English department. After these final combats the ranks settled down for a quiet siege against the junior position. An advance ref port promises a sophomore victory, probably in September of 1937, when the sophomores hope to take over the junior camp and become second in power. The entire field of Lebanon high school faculty and students was greatly saddened on March 24 by the death of Emma jean Coombs, who was a member of the sophomore regiments.
