JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1928 saw a large group of new green recruits applying for admission into the great Army of Knowledge Seekers. Unaccustomed as we were to our new surroundings and awed by the knowledge and dignity of the older and better-trained soldiers, however, we soon found our places in the daily routine. We were enlisted into the social life of the camp by the annual party given each year for the new recruits by the corporals, the Sophomores. The aides for our first year were Miss Wells and Mr. Mc-Creight, and our leaders were Captain Lawrence Vander Beke, First Lieutenant Grace Eleanor Baker and Second Lieutenant Betty Evans. The second year all in our regiment were promoted to the rank of corporals. Our aides for this year were Miss McNutt and Mr. Finfgeld, and our guides, Captain Irving Suss, First Lieutenant Mabel Jones and Second Lieutenant Jean Leonhard. We, in our turn, gave this year’s new recruits a party in the old East Moline High School mess hall. This year we have advanced to the rank of sergeants. Our aides are Miss Blatterman and Mr. Pierson. We have chosen to lead our division this year, Captain Lawrence Vander Beke, First Lieutenant Thomas Sims and Second Lieutenants Mariann Dormady and Lloyd Carlson. By this time we have entered fully into the spirit of army life and all of its activities. Our greatest donation to the entertainment of the “camp” was the play, “The Poor Nut,” which is said to be one of the best ever put on by a regiment such as ours. We were well represented in football and basketball, having several men on both varsity squads. As for musical activities, we certainly were active, for didn’t we furnish the feminine lead for the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover?” Besides that we had many students in the band, orchestra and glee clubs. We sergeants also put on a vigorous magazine-selling campaign to secure funds to carry out the annual Junior-Senior prom given each year by the sergeants in honor of the lieutenants who leave the army each year.
