the order for a barrage, and we let
them have it. One shell hit near the
pit and loosened the logs overhead.
After that every time we fired the
concussion brought down one or
two logs. Mud, stones and pieces of
shell came in at the front. Five
spokes were knocked from one wheel
of the carriage and the gun muzzle
was nicked. Two or three men were
slightly hit and laid away at the end
of the pit while the rest of us kept
on firing.

All the infantrymen asked ques-

comrades. Keen interest was dis
played by all the men of the COM

was killed. One of them said:
''He was a fine officer, and, be-
lieve me, he took care of his men.
Any one of the company would have
gone through hell at his order. We
will pay Fritz for that, if we haven't
already done So"

fight said the last he saw of the cap

TECH HIGH BOYS
WINSTUDY POINTS
Average of First Half of Year
Shows Gordon Hol-
land Leader

Averages for the first half of the
year at the Technical High. school
show that Gordon Holland leads the
senior class with the highest aver
ages; Hugh Wells is at the head
of the Juniors; Wilbur Criswell
stands first in the second year class
with Paul Ray having the highest
average among the $50 freshmen.
That the Tech students are doing
good work in spite of the wartime e
conditions is evidenced by the great
many boys who are doing work
above 50 per cent. as a general aver
age. First honors go to those who
have an average OF 80 per cent. or
over, while the second honors lie
between So and 80. While a number
of the students work after school,
in most cases they find time to do
good work. There are possibly more
boys working after school hours than
ever before. The honor roll COM
plcted by Miss Saul is:
