In September 1022, Regiment 22 consisting of 37 privates went into active service in the ‘'War for Education. I'uder the able guidance of Oommander-in-Chiof Alvin Halvorson, General Ethel Eklof. Major (ierold Laumann. Captain Xancv Olsen, Lieuten- ant Elizabeth Whitcomb, and Sargeanl Nellie Dahl, the regiment received excellent train- ing early in the year and was thus well prepared for the manv battles they took part in dur- ing that year and those that have followed. That year the battles seemed very severe and the victories of small significance but no ground was lost. At the end of the season the Regiment advanced from the Freshman Field leaving behind them ground hallowed by their strife and glorified by their victories. In September 1923 they resumed their battles in the “War for Education”. The Regi- ment had now lost some of its old members and so numbered onlv 24 privates. They had the sarin- officers as the previous year. The opposition in the Sophomore Forest was just as stiff as previously but being more accustomed to the work, the privates won greater victories. A large number were members of the glee club and the orchestra and in other ways took part in outside activities. At the end of the season of active service the privates found themselves having achieved another great victory. They had now completed half the task required for success in the “War for Education, and it was indeed a happy group of privates that journeyed to their re- spective homes for a furlough in May 1924. Rut September found them back in the trenches more determined than ever to con- quer unknown territory and add additional laurels to their fame. The regiment now num- bered 25, some of the old privates had been transferred but new ones had enlisted. The Commander in-Chief. Alvin Halvorson still continued to direct the course of the war but new officers filled some of the positions. Gerold Laumann served in the capacity of general, Nancy Olson as Major, and Elna Moezinger that of Captain. The progress of the war was rapid in every phase. Everyone was determined to make as great a showing as possible against the enemy. In addition to the regular victories to the credit of the regiment during the year were those in outside activities. About 15 were members of the glee club, four boys and three girls were on the regular R. R. squads fighting for M. H. S. m k September’25 found 25 eager and expectant privates back at the post ready for any hard- ship which might assail them in the last war in this struggle for education. The same Commander-in-Chief shaped the destinies of the regiment but new officers had taken up the stations except for Nancy Olsen, who still held tin- position of Major. The new ones were Captain Marjorie Bistodeau, Lieutenant Claude O'Donnell and General Eugene Douville. This year was the most glorious of them all and saw this sturdy band win many a hard fought battle. The captains of the R. R. teams were both members besides three other boys and five girls who played on the teams. Four principals in the Operetta and many members of the orchestra and glee club were also members of this company. In the English Essential tests this regiment scored highest; they led all the others in athletics; their social activities surpassed the others: their scholarship was higher and their class spirit was finest of all. The entire regiment received honorable discharge on June 3, 1920. Thoy have left the scenes of many a hard won struggle but they carry with them the lessons these contests have taught.
