Our ambitions were never expressed. but actions are said to er than words. rst sign of our budding intelligence was marked. XYe chose. from the wd, Harold Bowers to be our leader in the Crusade. Always fair in love won our confidence, and with our undivided strength we made ourselves re today. bility to achieve success was made public when we first offered entertain- ir schoolmates in the form of a chapel program. Our efforts were fully appreciated by the good natured audience and our career began. In order to become better acquainted, and to relieve the monotonous routine of study, we were allowed several parties. These strengthened our defense against the onslaught of the upper classmen, for, in spite of our capability of controlling affairs, we had to how to their authority. In the spring came the unhappy ending of our first battle. VVe were all re- quested to be vaccinated for smallpox or withdraw from school for the remaining few weeks. 1Ve were not discouraged by our first attempt and September. 1020, found us in the field of combat. Rober t Rucklos was chosen by popular vote to succeed Harold Bowers. Our first hardship in the second Crusade was the newly organized literary society. It was whole-heartedly depreciated until, unexpectedly, we found that our talents lay along dramatic lines. To prove this statement to the public we presented the play, The Heavenly Twins. 11'e celebrated this victory by having a hayrack party. Of sophomores little is expected, so. after exploding this bomb in the peaceful districts of Y, XV. H. we were content to spend the remaining time in study and seeking amusement. VVe ended the year with a picnic to Celina. NVill we ever forget it? Enrolled in 1921 as juniors, we did not wish to bask in the glory of the radiant past. but set out to win again. Robert Rucklos was in command. 13
