22 ,CHRONICLE On September 7, 1927, we were again called to duty, this time by Commander-in-Chief Phelan. First came the election of officers. After much deliberation, we elected Robert Reinhard and Miss Trafton Generals, and Edward Ely, Lieutenant General, Fannie Rodman was again elected Colonel and James McNerney was newly elected Colonel, to care for our money. It was now our duty to look after the Freshmen, and so, after duly initiating them, we gave a mas- querade 'party for them, raising the money for it by means of a cake sale. This year our problem was that of rings, but we finally decided to cen- tinue with the regulation school ring. Once again we withstood the battle fairly well as only twenty-five of our number fell back. We had been fight- ing hard for thirty-nine weeks and were beginning to wish for a short leave of absence. Our Commander-in- Chief must have heard us complain- ing for soon a notice was read stating that everybody might go off duty un- til September 5th! But how quickly the summer flew by! It was September 5th before we knew it. The next year passed just as rapidly. After we had elected our oflicers, who were Mr. Warner and Edward Ely, Generals, Richard Snow- man, Lieutenant-Generalg Lester Kennedy and Jeanette Glasnapp, Colonels, it seemed almost no time at all before our annual cake-sale was over, and the Junior Prom, which was the first in the annals of the school for which admission was charged, was all too soon a part of h'story. Our corps was again honored by the fact that two of our nursber, Private Mae Mulligan and Lieutenant-General Richard Snowman, were elected by the Emblem Board to go to the Schol- astic Press Convention at New York. Then came debating. with the Inter- Scholastic debate in which sAtea Travers from our ranks took part and helped win a victory, and the Junior Recital, at which both Vincent Pryor and Atea Travers won prizes. After many hard drills, we advanced in full battle formation to attack the Army of Examinations. Strong indeed was their barricade, but most of us came off victorious from the assault. When they were over, everyone was again on leave of absence until September. With the coming of September 4, 1929, the army of 1930 made its way up Academy Hill in a dignified manner for its last year of fighting. Our problem this year was Money, Money, Money! Our officers, who were Miss Bedford and Edward Ely, Generals, Adelaide Schumann, Lieu- tenant-General, and Atea Travers and Richard Snowman, Colonels, had an especially hard task to perform,- that of pulling us through this year of fmancialtroubles and worries! But, undaunted, we started straight for- ward on the Campaign for Funds 5 first came a cake sale which netted eighteen dollars, and then a dance in November and another in April. Among the Dramatic Club perform- ances this year was a play entitled, A Full House, the proceeds of which went to the Army of 1930. Little by little, we made attacks and came off victorious with the coveted S350 in our vaults. Everybody has fought hard this year on the Battles of Chem- istry, Essays, or History, but every- one of the original fifty-eight who en- tered in September with us has won the battle. Even the siege of the camera was unable to subdue us and so, after two more good times togeth- er, Class Night and Senior Prom, our sixteen points having been gained, We will receive our Diplomas of Honor- able Discharge from the Fortress on Academy Hill and start forward on the Battle of Life.

it if T: ' .f. -, 1, exp ' 'al 24 C H R NQTMQAHE lass oem Ed Ely's been our president For two long years gone by, And all that he has done for us We couldn't tell were we to try. Adelaide's smile is sunny As maid she was very funny, In her good nature it made no dent To be the G. R.'s president. Atea is the brightest lass Of all the girls in our whole classy And French will never make her flinch She thinks that that is such a cinch. Dick sure does like a Cheshiriteg He sees one almost every night g He thinks her eyes are, oh! so bright, To protect them he would stage a fight! And of the boys who is smartest? Who is quiet and works the hardest 'Z I would answer on demand, Bill's the one, our youngest man. Dot Hurlbut is a quiet maid Who has a winning way, Her smile flashes in and out, Whether at work or play. Alexander, tall and dark, In Hi-Y was president, Made all the members hark To his advice, 'twas quite a lark. Lois Carley used to have Long and golden tresses, These she cut and likes it wellg So everybody guesses: A Cheshire lad is Ronny Without a bit of guile, It drives the blues away To see 'his sunny smiley W John and Jean are prophets bold, Often have you heard that told. They've looked into the future years That you may meet them Without fears. The most studious girl of our whole class Is Stella Zakrewski, a likeable lass, She's modest, shy, and basnful, too, And always has a book or two. Lois Kilbourne got peeved at us, And went away to stayg Then she decided we were best, And came back to join the fray. Kufta comes from Milldale, I-le is the teachers' baneg For when they try to keep him still, He only laughs again! Erma lives in Marion, She comes upon the busg On missing it she has to walk And makes an awful fuss. Grant runs his old tin lizzy, So fast it makes us dizzyg It will your mind with wonder H11 To see him guide it up a hill! If Marge should walk out every night, She'd sure be in an awful plight If no lad from S- should come, To see her safely to her home. Merton Foskett has the fate Of often coming in too late, P'rhaps 'tis 'cause he comes so far He cannot get the early car. Frances drives a little carg It is a dark blue Nash, And everywhere that car does go She drives it like ca flash. J
