THE COLUMBIAN History of Company Q n,f'o Aa'se-so .wx EMBO 9, HO says the Engineers have done nothing in camp this summer? 9 7' If such there is he has not observed Company G in action. F jp 515' There are thirty-three men in our company. Not many you if QD may say, but precious goods come in small packages. Our first week in camp we did a bit of usquads east and west , just to limber up. We were the fir-st to be issued rifles and as we snapped our rifles through the manual of arms it was truly laughable the way the Basics would watch us. One day we marched to American Lake-after riding to within a few hundred yards of the lake in trucks-and there studied pontoon bridge work. While we were resting from the long hike we put across a part of the lake 250 feet of Lambert pontoon foot bridge within a few minutes. To test the buoyancy of another type of pontoon foot bridge a large number of men rode out over the lake on three sections and there attempted to turn it over. Having finally succeeded, we all took a swim not in the camp schedule. On another clay we marched to the woods and under the instruction of our commissioned and non-commissioned officers constructed a single-lock spar bridge, lashing together the timber cut in the woods. We have learned not only how to build bridges which will enable our own troop to cross streams, but also how to destroy highways and bridges which the enemy might use. The study of field fortification was interesting, especially after we learned that it is the infantry that really digs the trenches while a few engineers supervise the work. Being engineers we were naturally assigned the tasks of laying out the site of camp Whitworth for the C. M. T. C. overnight hike. It is a wonder no one remarked about our speed in pitching tents, and the perfection of our line. That night we kept -up the same record of quiet after taps which we have in barracks. Did anyone notice that the engineer company struck tents, policed up the ground and were lined up for marching before any other company? We waited around half and hour or so while the first battalion got ready to march. Ours is the honor of producing the best rifleman in the C. lVl. T. C. here this year, and last year one of our number carried off first honors in rifle marksmanship. This year we intend to send two and perhaps three men to the national matches at Camp Perry. We feel proud of our work this summer. But how could we do other- Wise considering the men who were our leaders. We feel especially in- debted for our accomplishments in the fields to Lieutenants Boardman and Miller, Sergeants Patrick and Lindstrom, and Acting Sergeant Eubanks. Those of who are Blue Course students are sorry to leave, while the White and Red Course men hope we have the .same officers next year to carry on the spirit of the engineers, The Men Who Carry On.
