The gates were opened to them and Commander-in- Chief Blanchard took them under his command, starting them forward on the Battle of Sixteen Points. We hardly realized then what a battle we had to fight before we could conquer. Our first task was to elect the officers who should have us under their com- mand for the coming Year- Afteli due consideration, Mr. Davis and James Serafino were elected Generals, and Mae Mulligan, Lieutenant-General, While Fannie Rodman and Elizabeth Wallace were the Colonels who should keep our records and money. Then the Sophomores, after putting the Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Libby, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Phelan, Miss 111. Mildred Bedford, and Mr. Robert Warner will act as patrons and patronesses. The committee, Lucille Andrews, Lois Kilbourne, Atea Travers, Vincent Pryor, and Merton Foskett, is work- ing hard and promises a fine time for all. Manaware's Northern Lights will furnish music. L CLASS MARSHALS A class meeting was held Thurs- day, May 22. Edward Ely and Eliza- beth Wallace were elected as marshals for graduation. 21950 ry THE ARMY OF 1930 boys through an initiation, thinking that possibly we were feeling lonely, gave us a masquerade party. Every- thing progressed splendidly for the rest of the year, our corps making its presence felt by taking part in the competitive assemblies and by having the distinction of having 14.5 per cent of its number on the Honor Roll. By the end of the year there was still a goodly number to continue with the battle, only thirty-nine hav- ing dropped out, they having either been cashiered or wounded too se- verely to return. Great was the re- joicing when the notice was read that Edward Ely had won the Fresh- man Algebra Prize, and that we were all on leave of absence for twelve weeks.
