History of The Corporals AX .. This is the second year that the Corporals of 'fl-2 and '43 have spent on the top floor of Camp Pio- neer. In these two years their time was earnestly spent in preparing their lessons. As Buck Privates we had the privilege of having one of the best instructors in our career. Major Bradshaw. We were especially prepared in Eng- lish and other practical subjects at this time. Our float that year was huilt in collahoration with the other Buck Privates as was the usual custom. The float was designed into a replica of old part of Camp Pioneer. It was that year we had bestowed on us first prize. lt was during this year that the operetta 'gScro0ge's Christmasn was presented. ln the latter part of our Private training our teacher was Major Berkebile. During that year we held our first election of officers. The results were thus: Jack Ballmer. presidentg Edward Suther- land, vice presidentg Donna Bloom. secretaryg Bon- nie Ashenfelter, treasurer. In the scholastic test Mary Stukey took first place with Jack Ballmer placing second. For our float that year we chose an artistic design of a large waving American flag. Our 96 strong marched into Camp Pioneer. slightly on the greenish side. ready to set all Patsy Allen-being 'fsmart as a whipf, Bonnie Ashenfelter-hit me hrother, we a solid four. Jack Ballmer-mischievious hut bright. Gaylord Batdorf-that cute way of talking. John Batdorf-keeps up the latest styles. records athletically as well as scholastically. As our greenness wore off we took into view all the possibilities of education. Our elections for that year were as follows: Kenneth Born, president, Donald Eicher, vice president, Edward Sutherland. secretaryg Terrance Hallett, treasurer. Jack Ball- mer was appointed to the Defense Committee. Miss Edgar and Mr. Vaughan were the sponsors of our class. There were quite a few high scores in the climination test. Two from our class, Dale Paul lohn Shearer received football letters. A giant ' for Victory mounted on a boat with the slogan 'Sailing to Victory was the theme of our float that year. Coming to school as Corporals was quite differ- ent from the previous years. For officers we kept the same executive department as in the past year and as Keeper of the Records, ,lack Ballmer was minted and Bruce Sharples as Keeper of the Funds. Miss Joslin and Mr. Vaughan sponsored our class this year. It was in this year that we had our first class play, 6'Youth and Uncle Sam. It ' as an appropriate presentation as to the times. The moral taught was how to stop rumors and save America. Altogether it was a very timely and suc- '-essful production. ,lunior Batdorf-philosopher. Walter Mae Bishop-that optomistic quality.

About the Privates First Class . . . On September eighth. l942, there were about 93 bewildered students moving about the halls of Camp Pioneer. They were deeply impressed by the surroundings and with the situation confront- ing them. At 9 o'clock they went to the large assembly. Each felt that everyone was looking at them. know- ing that there would be many blunders made that first week. After a brief talk by Gen. Rogge they were instructed to go to their first class appearing on their schedule. There was much embarrassment to go through the first week trying to locate the George Tavtigian. Marie Stickradt. Bob Adams, and Joanne Beard. proper classroom, but, soon they were acting like their upperclassmen. When these students were buck privates they felt like quite advanced pupils and did make a good showing in their state tests. They elected as their class officers, Privates First Class Robert Adams, president, George Tavtigan, vice president, Joanne Beard, treasurer, and Marie Stickradt, secretary. The class advisors were Majors Curtis, Palmer and Eaton. For Corn Festival they built a very patriotic float out of old newspapers and gave what money they would have spent for crepe paper to the USU. Our float depicted everyone involved in this war. from the housewife to the man in service. This Corn Festival will long be remembered as it rained when the parade was assembling and many floats were damaged. The Privates First Class attended their first big party at l'lallowe'en and enjoyed it very much. Laurels are given to the Barnes Twins and Keith Clay for their ability in playing football and to Hazel Pike for being on the Hi-Life Staff. These Pvts. F. C. are doing all right and won't take long to advance. Upon promotion with the knowledge they have obtained, they will be prepared to meet almost any situation that might confront them.
