in the eighth grade during the term.
Of these, forty-three are now attend
ing. Of those attending, thirty-nine
are certain to receive their certif1
Gates. The fate of the other four will
not be definitely known until the final
examination papers are graded.
Those of the faculty who have had
an opportunity to judge of the pre-
paration and ability of this class
consider it the strongest eighth grade
and the best prepared to do high
school work that they have ever seen.
A remarkable thing about the class
is that the boys are in the majority,
and several of them rank high in
class standing.
A complete roll of the class as it
now stands will be given in later
issue of this paper.
The following is the program of the
eighth grade exercises:

And All American Generals Will
Hold Their Rightful Command
Among the Allies

Washington, May 16.-Divisions Oh
the western front where American
units are brigaded with French and
British units will be under American
commanders wherever the American
troops predominate This plan which
means that General Pershing may
soon be placed in command of British

American troops, is regarded as es-
pecially desirable, and is expected to
rapidly increase the size of the Amer
lean forces on the fighting line.

AFEW TIPS ON ARMY LIFE.

will give you few points on army life. 1 have been in the army for six months and two days. Really 1 feel that it has given me some exercise in adapt ing myself to new things and places.
 On the 23rd of last June 1, with two other Normal gradu' ates, were sworn in at Jefferson Barracks. Mo. l didn't really know what 1 was saying yes to, but they told me to say it, and l said it. Not a 23rd has passed since, but that 1 thought of that memorable occasion at Jefferson Barracks.
 That marked the beginning of my army life, which has been one, mostly of travel, at least you will think so when tell you the story.
 After staying in J. B." for seven days, receiving two vac- cinations and two inoculations, my name appeared on the ship ping list for Ft. Riley, Kansas.
 We reached Fit. Riley. July 3rd, and had a holiday on the 4th.
 How we did drill and study while therel Four hours each day, besides various other exer- cises and lessons, was the be- ginning, to say nothing of the classes in first aid, etc. The best news l got while there was the time set for our departure on September Is. There were twenty-three of the boys and three Medical officers that left. am sure 1 speak the feelings of all the boys, when l say we were glad to leave Ft. Riley. 1 left my two Normal friends there.
 1 have been at Camp Grant, Illinois since September IF. 1 really like this place. We have had much cold weather some ten below, and it is really cutting to Southern lad. But l am work ing in the inhrmary all the time. where there is ample heat, and the new climate doesn't hurt me.
 1 judge this Camp has about 1000 buildings and 30,000 sol diers. or will have when com pleted. The boys are well cared for in every way, and the cold winds do not effect us much.
 You might be interested to know that we have about ten |. NJ. C. A. divisions here and that they are doing more toward entertaining the boys than any other agency. In fact, all the amusements come through the Y. M. C. A. There isn't d night turing the week but that some thing is doing movies, stunts. wrestling, boxing. speaking. singing, band concert, etc.
 Some Of these features are given by the best talent in Chicago. It is all free to the soldiers.
 In addition the Y. M. C. A. 'orter takes the place of a post office sells stamps to the boys. writes money orders, checks and bundles. gives away paper and envelopes, etc. looked over the records. recently of six of Ehe "Y's" to see just how many etters were being sent out from hem, per day, and found they l ,veraged 42.0OO. The 'Y" sec. 'etary told me they averaged l .bout 5000 each. That means hat each "Y" building would ake in $60 per day for Uncle sam. due to the added extra tamp.
 | They also furnish an old fash oned fireplace and chairs, a vic- rola and great variety of ,'ecords.
