In answer to this summons, 'a crowd of girls of varying ages and talents assembled at the stated time and place. Registration was closely followed by classification, with all its investigation of qualifications and records. Here are two remarkable facts which deserve attention: not one was declared unfit, and none applied for exemption. VVhat was the reason of the call? It was a renewal of the age-long war against General Ignorance. Military operations are subjective and not objec- tive. Here another fact arises, which must be recorded in all clue prominence, never in this conflict did any fatalities occur within the author's scope of ob- servation. Next came organization. One band possessing a particular and peculiar qualification, namely, a high school diploma with 1916 written on it, was set apart and distinguished as the Junior Class of 1917. Members of this class enlisted in different branches of service. Some don- ned the white caps and aprons of the Domestic Science laboratories, others the black oil-cloth aprons of the -Chemistry Lab. Others held to the main lines in a dogged effort to vanquish the hosts of Ignorance, which lay entrenched on the Plain Facts of History, in the difficult Passes in the mountainous Region of Mathematics, and even lurked in the King's English. Still others attempted to conquer the higher Realms of Airs, and cheer the world with music and song. The officers testify that, despite lofty aims and fixed purposes, there were some deviations from the Rules of War, and the American Spirit of individual- ism often asserted itself by resistance to authority and sometimes refused to abide -within the Privileges of class legislation. In every organization there must be some form of initiation. At Synodical this rite is Tubbing. It was performed with all due ceremony on the Junior -Class of 1917, and they became true Seminoles A dread disease spread through the camp! The line was reduced-de- pleted-all but exterminated, on the Sunday march to church. Wfhat was the plague? Investigations by specialists were made. Many cases were examined, the disease was named-Sundaycitis. Its remedy, too, was discovered- Castor Oil. There was almost a mutiny in camp when the election of class officers took place, and the class flower and colors were selected. After much discussion, all these matters were decided to the satisfaction of all. The results were that the violet is the flower, and green and purple are the colors. There must always be some social functions-receptions 'enlivened the days. The Academics entertained the Juniors in a manner which all voted en- ' l x- . .. - .l I yu-J-Q....T..f
