(Elaaa i iatory The twenty-fifth infantry of the Osceola High School lias been mustered out of service by their commander, Air. Moore. We bid farewell to our commanders and associates with sorrow, for we have greatly enjoyed our service. Nine of our members, Lawrence Shaw, John Bittner, Boh Campbell, Bess Gylling, Martin Silverstrand. Marguerite Schrader, Beulah Michener, Merle Hamilton and Willie Byers, took up their arms together, or within a short time of each other, and have fought side by side in all their battles. We were rather shy and awkward at first, but we soon got acquainted with each other, and under the leadership of our generals have developed into trained soldiers. We went through the (rails and triumphs of young recruits without new members until we reached the fifth year of our service, when three more soldiers. Glenn Shelmadine, Veda Smith and Vera Marquis joined our ranks. These soldiers soon became used to our camp life and we had many good times together. No more new enrollments were made until the eighth year when Lalia Hinemeyer enlisted with us. By this time we thought we knew it all. but when we found how much more was to he learned we changed our minds. When we reached the ninth year, seven new members. Elsie Hendrickson, Verna Buchta. Anna Mace, Allegra Gustafson. Irene Daniel. Kda Wieseman and Kstlier Wieseman wore enrolled with us. A year later Agnes Newcomer. Myrtle Shore and Helen Anderson joined our ranks. Since then we have enrolled six more new members. Lawrence Reed, Eva Wieseman. Elton Koehler, Harry Bike, Julia Behio and Verne Clark. Our infantry is not large, but what we lack in quantity we make up in quality. We have had more members, but they have fallen in battle or have become discouraged and withdrawn from our ranks. Sometimes we have suffered defeat and often we have become discouraged. but we are now glad that we overcame our enemy. Failure, and fought on until the end. Some of our soldiers have been raised to the rank of captains, colonels, or lieutenants, and they have filled their positions well. When off duty we have had many good times together celebrating our victories or giving vent to our happiness. Often we have entertained other camps, but more often we ourselves have had little sprees. These relieved the monotony and kept up the spirit of our soldiers. Many little side skirmishes have been engaged in. but these have had no great effect on our life. There has been some civil strife in our camp, but we are glad to say that this has had no had effects and at the close of our twelve years' service we are firmly united, every soldier loyal to our company. We have all been good soldiers, trying to uphold the honor of our camp, and our banner. the “Orange and the Black has never traded in the dust. We will never forget our ■cod times together and past experiences will help us iu carrying out our high ambitions for i bright future. Thirtren
