Frances Stansell, but the victory over Com. Latin’s army was attained under Gen. Alice Stough, who very ably assum- ed command. Com. French was defeated by a rather small group of soldiers under Gen. Olive Kirby during the fourth year of the conquest. In 1940 and ’41 a group of us were sent out, Gen. Johnson again in command, to dom battle with 7Gen. is°G. O. Metry’s” “Axiom” party, also of Mathland’s mighty forces. When that attack failed to down us, another expedition was sent out against our numbers. Late in 1941 Gen. W. L. Wildermuth took Gen. Johnson’s command and led us victoriously through the battle. Even Mathland’s deadly secret weapon, the “Trigger-no-metry,” could not overpower US. With Gen. W. R. Howell at our head we made a successful attack on the ancient kingdom of history. Under the able lead- ership of Maj. Marguerite Woodson Mor- ris and Maj. Elizabeth Fink, a squadron of privates succeeded in conquering “‘Gen- eralissimo Ty-ping’’ and his regiment of “Royals.” Gen. English was not entirely overcome until the middle of 1942, but the final victory was due mainly to the heroic ef- forts and inspiring leadership of our four- star Gen. Eva Holder. For the last four years V. W. Lewis has been our beloved and respected Command- er-in-chief, with the able assistance of G. B. Snuggs as Chief-of-staff. From time to time some of the drab- ness of camp life was relieved by various social diversions. These included two plays-— Laughing Gas, Pdirected by. Lt. Worthy Spence; and “Claim Allowed,” with Lt. Col. Kathleen Morris directing. The annual dances were events of great importance, along with special dances giv- en on various occasions. During the course of the war the follow- ing commanders won great recognition for their services in various fields; Gen. Wild- ermuth, in charge of chemical warfare; Gens. Hinson and Allen, heads of the ‘‘In- telligence Department’; Hicks and Cooley, in charge of defense production; Davis and Treadwell, of the Quartermaster Corps. The “W. S. Army Band,” organized by Lt. Gen. R. W. Cartier, and later led by Gen. David P. Bennett, lent much moral support to its fellow soldiers, winning for itself fame and glory, and even receiv- ing national citation through its sensation- al achievements. The final terms of the “‘Treaty of Peace” were made and the agreements signed and sealed on June 2, 1942. At a public cere- mony special awards and recognition for “distinguished service’ were presented, and “honorable discharges” granted to the forty-odd survivors of the struggle. We are, for the most part, the same group that started out together in the fall of 1930. Some have fallen out; others transferred from other divisions, but we have been together these twelve years— brought together by a common cause, thrilled now by a common reward. Twelve years of happy companionship have been ours. And now it is over. Our foes we have conquered; our ambitions realized; our goal attained. Our objective we have ever held in mind—to capture the vast strong- hold of Knowledge and make full use of the experience gained in this conquest. We can see now that this has not been a “war to end all wars,” but that it is only a preparatory “maneuver” for the greater battles of Life. Mary Elizabeth Davis, Class Historian. fees as)
