COMMERCIAL CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1926 In the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, in the month of February, a group of grammar school graduates from4No Man's Land came to Par er High School and formed a small army, an army which was to work for a goal. hat goal was not lamd, not gold, nor fame, nor even the Fountain of Youth that Ponce de Leon sought. It was a prize that these young people valued far more highly. It was an education. When the army was organized, it consisted of thirty-one privates. Each soldier Was ambitio ls, full of stored-up elnergy, and ready to fight at the side of his buddy 'for a mutual-l cause, high marksl Their opponents, as they then thought, were their teachens, but after a year dr so, the army found that the teachers were not their enemies but their allies, ready to help them in the conquest. The batt he was a hard one. Ih the fight that ensued, only the stron ones held ' out, the wea er ones were left behind with their D's. But all was not discourage- ment, there were little victories all through the struggle. There were parties, the football championship of section B, the homecomings, the bonlires, and most important of all, the Promenade. There were sleepless nights and exciting days for some of he army. There were times when the small army felt that victory was a long vsiay off and that the lprice to be paid for the prize seemed almost too high. . Yet, aftei two hard years of battle, victory came. The army that gloried in the fame tha comes with the winning of a prize was only twenty strong. Gradua- tion night ap roached. The privhtes realized that they were now being promoted to oHicers an that they had to live up to that station. The small army, so am- bitious at th beginning, was eveln more expectant now, for with the winning of and more fa e to be gained.
