them we steadily advanced until our enemies surrendeerd and we stood victors upon Junior soil. This year Elizabeth Buchanan, Harriet Law, Dixon Brown and Carroll Boseman joined us, greatly aiding us in our ad- vances and adding honor to our record. By this time our efficiency had become so well recognized that we were ordered against the Senior Part, under the personal command of our great general, Miss Brunson. Like Caesar, she led us to great success by her wise commanding and personal bravery. So widespread was her fame in generalship that she was called upon to address generals of many other fields on the successful leading of an army. Advance was steadily made under the strategic command of our officers, Miss Rikard and Messrs. Miller and Gaines. The great city of Drama was sacked by our troops under the command of Miss Rikard, obtaining much glory and spoil for our army. New Volunteers, Novice Kirven, Eleanor Flowers, Laurens Mill- ing and Dixon Daniel came to us, and have loyally and bravely fought in our last advance. Fellow soldiers, in the field of educational training, faithfully have you worked and labored for the class and for the school. And, now, that our great campaign is completed, may you realize that your battles are just beginning. The great battlefield of life lies before you, and may you acquit yourselves always as true sons and daughters of St. John’s. —LESLIE EDWARDS. Nineteen

Class History ICH School, unlike all Gaul, is divided into four parts, the greatest of which is called Senior Territory. Similar to Caesar and his legions the class of ’24 has successively conquered these parts, and now, standing victors on Senior soil, is preparing to undertake greater campaigns. Dur- ing its four year campaign in High School, the army of the class of ’24 has won a lasting place in history for its clean and glorious record. After completing the course in the great training camp of Grammar School, we were placed under command of Misses Austin and Kawls, and Mr. Slice, and were ordered to advance upon the Freshman part. Com- ing from other training camps to join us were Pauline Moncrief, Broadus Vaughan and Walter Dargan, all of whom entered whole-heartedly into all our activities. The army was divided into two wings, both of which won many brilliant victories on the field. Steadily and successfully were we lead on by our commanders and led by Miss Austin we overcame a dreaded foe, Latin, which threatened to overcome us. So great was our ability that some of us were regularly seen, with gun on shoulder, doing guard duty around the headquarters of our Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Daniel. After successfully conquering the Freshman Part, we were ordered to advance upon the Sophomore Part. Our officers, Misses Brunson, Austin, Lew's, Scott and Goode very effeciently and capably led us to successes, which yet resound to our praise. This year the two wings were reunited so that we might make more determined advances. We were joined by Emmett England, Pauline Dove, Wistaria Arnold, who have prov- ed themselves loyal cohorts in our many battles. Upon advancing on the Junior Part, the need for organization was recognized, and we elected Louis Edwards president of our troops. With our advance upon the Junior part arose new threatening conditions. Even in the darkest moments of our advance our commander Miss Home, great- ly kept up our courage and spirits and under her efficient generalship great victories were won and new glories added to our record. Much might be said of our other officers, Misses Brunson and Magill and Mr. Gaines, who in their loyal and self-sacrificing way led us to great victories. Under rat Eighteen
