“128 The Nineteen Thirty-Nine Jack Rabbit (\ . M.i R. G. Bloedel Sergeant Theodore Franklin Major James P. Murphy- Captain R. H. Vesey Sgt. Ed Schultz Sgt. R. J. Bond Major Rexford H. Shores MILITARY STAFF It fell to the lot of seven men detailed to duty at South Dakota State College to provide instruction in military science and tactics for nearly 700 students this year. Five hundred eighty-nine men enrolled for basic training, while 90 were admitted to the advanced division of the R.O.T.C. At the head of the department personnel was Major James P. Murphy. As- sisting him were Major Rexford Shores; Major R. G. Bloedel; Captain Robert H. Vesey; Staff Sergeant Edward J. Shultz; Sergeant Richard J. Bond and Ser- geant Theodore Franklin. State College ' s R.O.T.C. ranked high this year in achievement. At Fort Snel- ling, several of the first-year advanced men won distinction in the use of weapons and in marksmanship. Cameron Lane took camp high score as expert rifleman and seven cadets — Jack Dunn, Vinal Sayre, James Randall, Edward Schroeder, Arden Brill, Lloyd Ptak and George Christianson — made records as sharp shoot- ers in camp competition. They earned a percentage of 73.6 and qualified for special mention to give the State College men one of the highest records yet estab- lished .by one institution at Fort Snelling. ”
