Soldiers volunteered and were stationed at Camp Normal for preparation against the invading foe. For four years they were trained, not only mentally but also physically. The camp was under the direction of Generals Strong and Guill. Captain Walton was the ever faithful leader for the Black and Gold during this time. Our first battle was in 1918. Although we came out with only one and one-half points, it was a hard-fought battle. 1919-20 brought higher ideals and a firmer resolve to never give up the fight. This time we gained eleven and one-half points. Our brave fighters were Dallas, Reynolds, Addison and McKee. Our Junior year found us still at the front and fighting with a vim. This year we reached the enemies' lines and, although we fought bravely and squarely, because of the longer training and more experience of the Class of 721, Goddess Luck frowned upon us. We lost by six and one-half points. Captain Walton, with her courageous lieutenants, Bell, Guill, McBath, Burnett and Turner never lost hope and 1922 found them on duty at their post. The fourth year of war is upon us, and the last battle draws nigh. We knew that our foe, Ignorance, could resist no longer and at the end of this, the last battle, we were out with flying colors, triumphant over our enemy and proclaiming the fame of Generals Strong and Guill, and Captain Walton, Lieutenants Bell, Storey, Avrett, Emerson, Wilson, Jackson, Linch, Eaves, Malone, Chapman, Tucker, Mussel- white, Haslett, Nelson, Abbott, Rhodes, Williams, McBath, Baker, Dedman, Floyd, Hoover, Powell, Maddux, Edwards, Shirling, Luther, Kelley, Bird, Hamilton, Haines, David, Mayer, Sims, Risener, Ivey, Hadley, Guill, Farr, Latimer, Wiley, Flanagan, Fitzpatrick, Oliver, Jenkins, and the Class of 322. These brave soldiers won for us seventeen points and the long sought and much prized Loving Cup. So let us sing praises to the good old class that played so fairly and so well all through the iight, and who won, as all clean sports do. Again sing praises to the Black and Gold and the Class of '22.
