Class Poem HCSgni- We ha e traveled the higlnva}- of learning. And fought in a long, •aIiant fight, Rut now we have come to the turning, And the towers of the world are in sight. ' e have learned how to figure with letter s. And quote the dear words, amo te. We gave all due respect to our betters, Though oft ha e we known more than they ! ' e have willingly given each member In service for old M. H. S. We are thrilled when we gladly remember The noble rewards of success. And many a lesson received here ' as not from the leaves of a book. And varied have been the events, queer, That we from experience took. Behind us lie four }ears of pleasure, Before us — a tale yet untold. But we know that we always shall treasure The scenes that our memories hold. The gatewa} ' to Life lies open ahead, And through it we all have to go. Content shall we be, if ' tis truthfully said That we ' ve gained a good record to show. Dorothy Locke, ig j. 25

night? it was the worst of times — for did the officers and comrades of the other Battalions not impose upon us the most atrocious tasks — such as trying to write a Misicodeed ; it was a Battalion of wisdom — for the Senior Battalion had for three years absorbed the best from the masters of the past and naturally we appreciated the vastness of that knowledge; it was a ' Battalion ' of foolishness — yea, verily! Some of us buck pri- vates tried to impart some of the aforesaid knowledge to superior officers — (results are not here related) ; it was a season of Light — for we were the most light hearted and joyous Battalion that ever took up arms in this everlasting Battle of Books ; it was a season of Despair — for truly sometimes the fighting was so severe, the outcome so doubtful for some of us, that Despair gripped our hearts; we had everything before us — yea — the big Battle of Life with its mystery and its challenge lay beyond the Fort; we had nothing before us — but the Zero hour. The Fort was still in command of Major C. C. Cauble. The Battalion was placed under the control of Captain Frank McKinley and Lieutenant Winfield Seaman. Mention has been made of the task imposed upon the Senior Battalion; namely, to leave a monument to its struggles and accomplishments in the form of the Miskodeed. Carl Stillwell was chosen Captain of that enter- prise. The weight of the burden grew in proportion to the size of the leather case which was his constant companion ( ?) . The calendar, the social columns, the dramatic notes, the debating club, the athletic records — in fact — every worthy activity of the Fort bespeaks the energy, versatility, and courage of the Battalion of 1923 in our at- tempt to carry on for dear old Fort Mishawaka High. Dear old Fort Mishawaka High, We have answered your challenge, We have fought a hard fight, We have kept the faith with tliose Who built you and loved you before. With anxious hearts and eager minds We now await The Zero hour. 24
