May THE TROJAN 1922 Q -x, LASS ISTORY ,, W, ,+,, When the usual call for volunteers was sent forth from T. H. S. headquarters the latter part of August, 1919, fifty ambitious young people responded cheerfully, and en- listed in the first division of the great Trojan army which is one of many that fights the ever-continued battle of Knowledge vs. Ignorance. September 1, saw them reporting for active service, together with the three other higher divisions of this army, at the Trojan camp. Although somewhat unaccustomed' to the advanced methods of fighting they entered into the long training with much en- thusiasm. During their first year spent in training camp, these young soldiers succeeded, by the aid of their several commanders, in raiding a number of powerful friends of the enemy, namely, Slang, Carelessness, and Unpreparedness, and at the end of nine months re- ceived their promotion to the second division. This year, the first division had twenty-one deserters and three of their number were transferred to other armies, leaving a total of twenty-six regulars. The army was granted a three months furlough during the summer and the first division went out better fortified than ever to combat the enemy whenever necessary. V VVhen the summons to meet in camp was again issued the following fall, twenty- six young soldiers reported for duty promptly and enrolled in the second division. With the earnest desire to succeed and receive a promotion to a higher division, they made much progress in their training this year, feeling repaid for their service when at the end af the second year of enlistment they had been awarded enough honors to permit their promotion to the third division. By 1921, the third division now numbered thirty-two and during their third year of active service in the Trojan army they have tried to please their commanders and to conquer the many battles fought with their old enemy, Difficulty, This band of soldiers have had many good times together being true friends to one another and loyal defenders of the Trojan army. Here's to the third division of the Trojan army! May all of its soldiers succeed and at the end of the required four years of training, receive a worthy and honorable discharge. Page 24
