THE COLUMBIAN History of Company H QYNQQDZULI.. of determination and pep Company H started out to L make themselves the best outfit in Camp. Since the first day Zi of camp a steady improvement was noted in the work carried Q on, not only in Infantry drill but in signaling. The part the Signal Company played in the Visitors' Day program proved beyond doubt that the month had not been spent in vain and that the men were exceedingly well trained for so short a period. The greater part of the first week was spent in Infantry drill and prepara- tion for pistol practice. Each afternoon was spent in the lecture hall. Sani- tation and hygiene were studied as well as technical subjects. The next week was spent on the range and attending demonstrations put on by regular army troops. Several men in the company qualified as sharp- shooter-s and many more as pistol rnarksmen. On June 27 the signal company attended the annual maneauver of the 3rd Division. There they saw the work of their branch of the service carried on under actual war conditions. Company H was the only C. M. T. C. Company permitted to attend this maneauver. The rest of the camp time was spent in the study of the technical Work of the Signal Corps. Under the direction of Captain Lloyd L. Wardell and Lt. T. Sunstone. ln the Radio work the company studied theory and operation. The company installed the telephone system used by the camp. As a Whole this year thehcamp has been very successful. The men are better mentally and physically and are more interested in the vital affairs of the nation. They have a broader view on the questions of national impor- tance. These things are necessary to good citizenship. No man has reason to regret he has attended the Citizens' Military Training Camp this year. Ninfty-:me
