iw Q -14 ,52 least, was the evening of the Sophomore Declamations. On this evening eight members of the class Craig, Jones, Loprete, Wright, White, A. Wester- man, Hilles, and Fetterly, all rendered their selections like veterans rather than beginners at the game. Hilles with his I-lighwayman won the First Prize, while Westerman with his Assault on Fort Wagner came in second. We took part in all the sports with some earning their letters. Jones receiv- ed his as Captain of the Polo team. This year Kooken was President, Jones, Vice-President, Wright, secretary, and Hilles still collected the dues. Summer passed and Fall found the whole class Sergeants, with the chevrons above the elbows. This gave Finnesey the right of sleeping his guard. The class dance came and went leaving many happy memories. Rudy Schaffhauser upheld the honor of the class at this affair by con- descendingly appearing before the girls, and there were three fair maidens whom we know who fell for his charms. Kooken and Greenwood had now become the main stays on our football team's line with Long one of her best back-field men, while Schaifhauser, At- kinson, Wait, and Boogar were giving the other men on the team a good run for their positions. This was the year Bower and Jones brought the Inter- collegiate indoor Polo cup to P. M. C., Bower being Captain of the victorious team. And on the Basketball squad Willie Craig and Wait still represented us. In baseball Greenwood, Kooken, Craig won positions for themselves. While the bigger part of the Rifle team was made up of 29's men. Another sporting event of the year was the friendly battle between the Seniors and Juniors, in which we successfully defended our end of the corridor and sent a certain Allentown resident home without his trousers. Our leaders this year were Roche, President, Jones, Vice-President, At- kinson, Secretary, and Hilles, Treasurer. Slowly and sadly the summer drew nigh, and with it a thought which was constantly in our minds-the thought of Camp Meade and all that went with it. This was a subject upon which the Seniors longed to dwell, especially the discomforts, etc. The time finally came to shuffle off this mortal soil and enter the seething lost world at Fort Leonard Wood. Well, we decided to go in style so we had one grand and glorious farewell party. It proved to be farewell from one place for good. But' nevertheless, we all managed to get to old Meade and while it was pretty bad, it was nothing like the Seniors had made it out to be. All in all we had lots of fun down there and it bound the class much closer together. The old Class was beginning to thin out these days, for though we had started out thirty-nine strong, we were now only nineteen. The port for which we sailed is now in sight, Graduation, and the fair land that lies beyond it. For we are now Seniors and ollicers. This last year Hilles is President, Reifsnyder, Vice-President, Fetterly, Treasurer, and At- kinson, Secretary. While we are checking our baggage and preparing for our departure, we wish to say good-bye, especially to General Hyatt and to thank him for the fine ideals and personal example he has given us. To Colonel, we wish to do the same, and to wish him luck with his next year's Polo team. And to all our friends in the Cadet Corps, we wish the best of luck and a fond farewell. l30l
