THE COLUMBIAN History of Battery F HE smallest group in camp-but we handle the largest guns! ll ff S55 A branch of service that is absolutely indespensable if We are 3,9 to carry on our extensive program of defense. We won't brag f on being the best group in the camp-but the fact that we were rated the highest on discipline, agressiveness, appearance, and morale out of the Whole camp must mean something to those who know anything of camp life. ' We are graduating seven blue students this year and all the rest have signified their intentions of returning next year. The whole credit for the record which we made goes completely to the officers who were our instructors, Lieutenant Boody, Lieutenant Waite, that inimitable personification of pep, perfection, efhciency and enthus- iasm, First Sergeant Le Prohn, and Sergeant Cunningham. To these we owe our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. The final rating of units at the end of the camp found Battery F ten points ahead of any other company. All time spent on the handle of a broom with the urging of Sergeant Le Prohn now bears fruit and how glad we are that he made us get our barracks just a little bit cleaner than any of the others. Guy Meister won first place in the 50-yard dash, l00-yard dash, shot put and discus throw and these points added to second place taken by Warner in the 220-yard dash, gave us our track standing as second in the camp. Meister added four medals to his list, the camp record. The battery received a loving cup for its highest place in the Regiment. Thus ends our short month of hard work and good play. It was a month that we will all remember as giving us a good vacation, some splen- did training and as having bettered us both mentally and physically. Eighty-three
