Well, sit down and well talk over old times. I had just been reading about our classmates when my blunder- ing butler interrupted me. Little did I think that one of the 18 class would drop in.

Youtve been here in town most of the time and ought to know. Remember how he used to talk to us in class meetings? Fine president, he? HBowling? Lets see, hets-Just a minute, though, I have a book of clippings here telling about almost everyone of the class. Itve been gathering the pieces from the different papers for about a year past.

This bank was re- cently incorporated with a capital of $100.00, of which Mr. Bowling is said to be a heavy stockholder. Nearly all the members of the class are pretty well scattered now. It seems that Holdt and I are the only ones left here in Cincinnati. Heres a picture of his chicken farm just out of town.

CLASS HISTORY-Continued class a farewell reception, and looked forward to the following September when we should be Seniors. During the summer months we had quite a number of staff meetings at the homes of various members, for the purpose of planning the work of the following year, and to enable the stu- dents to become better acquainted. September came at last, and owing to the large decrease of members, it was necessary to combine the two Junior classes of the previous year. The Senior Class Club was organized with Albert Bowling as president; Hugo Haller, Vice-president; Florian Schmidt, secretary; and Henry Strobel, treasurer. Our meetings were mostly taken up with business matters. We realized that the amount of time lost during the severe winter and prevailing conditions, made our outlook very serious. In December we entertained the junior class with a reception. Finally the seriousness of the position in which we found our- selves dawned upon the class. Victor Pandorf, the editor of the Voice left school to serve Uncle Sam. The class and staff were indeed proud of him, and knew he would succeed as a soldier, as he had succeeded at school. We lost quite a few men during the past year and on April 3d a Service Flag was presented to the school bearing thirty-seven stars. This year witnessed the organization of a school orchestra, and a school song was written by Mr. Smith, and we being under his instruc- tion feel justly proud of our teacher and adviser. Needless to say, Mr. Siehl realized how we should have to work, and both he and our teachers have co-operated with us in everything we undertook. We have almost completed our work here. The great future lies before us; the world needs our assistance, and those of' us who can not fight for Liberty and Freedom must contribute our knowledge, strength and youth. It is our day, and our work is just beginning; we look to you, Flag of Old Glory, with shining eyes and hearts flaming with pride, as we say, ttWe sacrifice with willing spirit all that is in our power to contribute.
