The class the stars fell on

"The Class the Stars Fell On" is an expression used to describe the United States Military Academy Class of 1915. In the U.S. Army, the insignia reserved for generals is one or more stars. Of the 164 graduates that year, 59 (36%) attained the rank of general, the most of any class in the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, hence the expression. Two reached the rank of five-star General of the Army, second only to General of the Armies. There were also two four-star generals, seven three-star lieutenant generals, 24 two-star major generals and 24 one-star brigadier generals. Additionally, Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the five-star generals, went on to become the 34th President of the United States.
