SEMUIe'S p én 4 £ inf eee A wil AN ACCOUNT OF OURSELVES By VIVIAN JOYCE As I heard it from a Columbia record Number 4-11-44 now on sale at all the principal music stores of the city: ‘Tt was at the Washington High School, far back in September, 1917, as I stood close by the east side door. I watched with wonder and amuse- ment the sturdy Freshmen arrivi ng in groups of twos and threes until they had finally reached the sum total of two hundred fifteen. No two looked alike, but I must confess they all seemed in earnest and while it was plainly to be seen that they were a trifle shy and strange, each in turn wore a determined and confident smile and I said to myself, just await developments.

Kvery poem published in the Manitow was entitled ‘‘Our Service Flag,’’ ‘‘War Heroes’’ or some patriotic air. While the boys didn’t neglect their studies, still many of them might be seen drilling each morning. It was during that time the high school cadets were organized. They have already assumed the bearing of well trained militia men. The girls, in their turn are making every minute count and all the students are subscribing to their
