As tested Sophomores, sixty-five of us continued our training.

After much hard work and a lot of fun, our second phase of training was completed. Twenty-one hardened Soldiers and thirty- nine experienced W. A. C.'s entered the third phase of training. Three of the boys from these ranks joined the armed services: Art Kechter, Ralph Levick, and James Hughes, who are all in the Navy.

S at-'7!wM' n the fall of 1942, eighty-one raw recruits were inducted into the Marine Corps. It took a while to get used to camp life, but we soon learned how to fit into the new routine and to take the hard work in stride. Our company was soon formed: Mrs. Beers and Mrs. Raymond were our instruc- torsg Don O'Neill was commissioned as lst Lieutenantg Colleen Parks, 2nd Lieutenantg Charles Genoways, Master Sergeant to call ranksg Russell Moomaw, Master Sergeant to supervise finances and Mrs. Libsack was appointed Base Mother. Members of the company to receive major awards in football were Kenneth Bauer and Charles Genoways. Bruce Genoways re- ceived a minor award. No honors were won in Basketball, but two leathernecks, Johnny Liakos and Elidio Ayala, won cita- tions in Track. We were also ably represented by our Lady Marines in the following activities: Pep Club, Singing and Musical Groups, G.A.A., and the Girl's Basketball Tourna- ment. Outdoor Maneuvers included two ex- peditions to Chimney Rock a few miles from the Base. For entertainment several parties were given at the Base by our company with other personnel of the Base in attendance. A party for our own group was given on Hallowe'en. We finished our first year a very different outfit than that group of green beginners that had entered training nine months before. We entered the second phase of our train- ing with a complete change of officers. This year our personnel included: Miss Runkel and Miss Stephens, instructorsg Charles Genoways, lst Lieutenantg Tom Nerud, 2nd Lieutenantg Lucille Libsack, Master Sergeant to call ranksg Edna Kniss, Master Sergeant to supervise finances and Miss Genoways, Base Mother. We have tried to better our achievements of the first year. Awards in athletics were: CFootball major awardsb Kenneth Bauer, Charles Genoways and Bruce Genoways. No awards have yet been given in either Basketball or Track. We have had neither a party or maneuvers of any kind but hope to do so before the year is over. We feel that we have accomplished much in our training so far and look forward to the time when we can emerge as full-fledged Marines. Charles Genoways
