22 THE PETONIAN HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The call to the colors, the Red and Black, came on September 5, 1921. It was on that memorable day that we, the class of 1925, were mustered into service. For the Hrst few weeks we were in camp only a half day at a time because of the crowded conditions. After a while we became accustomed to the daily routine. Reveille was sounded at 8.55, chapel services were then conducted by our commander, Professor Lucas. Then the various drills took place. Mess at 12:00 was always welcome. Drills were again taken up with no relief until 3:30. Before long each of us knew our worth as soldiers battling for knowledge, and were placed in the proper ranks by our superiors, the teachers. Soon our machine was running smoothly and efficiently, From among this select body of students, those skilled in the various athletics were chosen for the team. Vlfe were represented on the varsity football, baseball, and basketball teams. We all did our work well and at the end of May, we were all granted a three months furlough which was welcomed by all. In our Sophomore year we came back strong but a few of the Old Gang were missing. VVe were welcomed by the same commander but an entirely new faculty. VVe worked hard and upheld our records made when we were Freshies. This school year C1923-19245 we again answered the call and came back to the support of Old Perry High. We were welcomed this time by a new commander who is held in high esteem by every member of school, and three new teachers, including a Coach. We have met the much dread- ed examinations and are still going. In a few weeks we expect to get our promotion slips. Then we shall enter our triumphal year-the year of all years-the year of Seniority.
