ROLL CALL OF CLASS ' 21 Battles of 1917-1918. The banners of purple and white were floating in the crisp autumn air. when we entered the ranks as Freshies, under the leadership of Mr. Stricklei and Mr. Mosher. The class was officially organized under the direction of Miss Bonewitz, our class patron. Difficult was our journey, but we crossed No Mans Land, receiving only a few wounds. We withstood the battles of the ►Sophomores, and a few sneers from the Seniors; but by the close of the year we had laid a solid foundation for our future. Battles of 1918-1919. Again we enter the ranks, this time only one trench ahead of the first. Official members retain their old offices but under a new director. More diffi- cult are our battles, some fall under the horrible machine gun. Geometry, which is so successfuly operated by Principal Plummer. In battles with Caesar some were thrown from their ponies and greatly injured. Through all this we came out victorious. Battles of 1919-1920. We enter the ranks this time as Juniors, under the direction of Mr. Fair- field, new officers were elected. Altho clear is our pathway from Caesar and his dreadful Legions; Ave stumble in the battle with the Ancients, led by Mr. Mosher. Some dream of becoming poets and great authors, but when Miss Brenton rehearses the literary records of all great poets from Chaucer, to Emerson, our hopes are shattered and with a sigh we fear we can never become a Milton, or a Shakespere. You dare not turn your back for fear Mr. Fairfield will point that horrible machine gun of Solid Geometry at you. This is more terrible than the gas fumes of the cooking, or the conflict with the Ancients. Long live our faithful professors that they may help us next year to fight our Senior battles.
