XKVEDNESDAY, JULY 30 Beginning as early as 6:00 oiclock the CMTC students were dusting their .grips, adjusting their Civics , saying farewells and singing Home Sweet Homeu. Three bands were on duty at the three main points for departure, although there were more than 3450 boys leaving, there was not a hitch in their departure, all was carefully provided and prepared by the Companies leaving their barracks at stated times under the personal supervision of Regular Army Officers. Every boy will be at his home before midnight. With but a few exceptions, all seemed glad that their mont.h's work was over. It needed only a look at their tanned faces to see how much benefit they had received, anyone who saw these young men coming into Camp and then looked at them before they left could not fail to be impressed with the tremendous difference in their entire appearances. As the train pulled out and the bands played Auld Lang Synev, the boys gave the last farewell, waving their hands goodbye and almost universally remarked, You'll see me back again next year .
