-MQFULLQ ,orrcrqas The Lasi Reviews e a BY LIEUT. V. M. CULVER . ' And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. As the last notes died out and were but echoes, Old Glory slid down the halyards into waiting, hands below. . A Over I,OOO rifles came down from present and struck the ground with a dull thud. How strange their owners felt, for this -was the last retreat that they would stand, and camp would close on the morrowq , A ' Hundreds of throats choked up and many pairs of eyes grew misty. The band of the Seventeenth struck up a march, and with many backward glances the cadets were marched from the assembly field. For a moment they felt as though they were leaving all that was dear to them behind. Why, it seemed just a few days ago that the camp first opened, and some of them remem- bered that they had been wishing, a few days after camp started, that it was all over. And now it was over. But their feelings were vastly changed. Now they didn't want to leave. They were going to miss that daily routine and 'the' familiar sounds of the drill field, the happy nights at the HY tent, the hostess house, and the dances, they would be lonely for the assembly periods and the noise of their buddies at play and at work in the Company streets. How they wished that the camp would just go on and on forever. It seemed like they were going to be out of place when they returned to civilian life, for at the CMT Camp they had learned that they were a part of this great nation. There they had resolved that they were through with being idlers. e They wanted to do something useful. They had been broadened mentally and they had been improved physically, and with this cameqthe realization that they were better pre- ' pared to serve their country in time of war or peace., iff 'ii The faint strains of the band playing My Country ,,W,.

-2G'IU LIS QTAUKQQQ . SATURDAY, AUGUST 18 Today was inspection day and we Sure did clean up, made the beds perfectly, had spotless rifies, and, after we learned how, displayed our pack and contents on our beds. Most tents passed inspection although some got bawled out good and proper. There was another dance tonight which was well attended by both sexes. The officers, wives of the Post Were the hostesses this time, and every one had a good time. MONDAY, AUGUST 20 Today we again went to the range and fired. Some made very good records and some not so good, but this was to be expected. The boxing matches started tonight. . TUESDAY, AUGUST 21 Nothing unusual happened today. Some of the companies are still on the rifie range. Tonight we had moving pictures. Boxing bouts were also heldand we saw some pretty lively scraps fought in a clean, Sportsman-like manner. The 2nd Cavalry Troop, com- manded by Capt. Waters, gave an excellent mounted demonstration. We fellows of the infantry sort of wished we were Troopers, too. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22 General George B. Duncan, commander of the Seventh Corps Area, was here today and inspected the camp. We followed the general routine of work and play. This after- noon we all made a grand rush on the camp barber shop and commenced to dig out all of our dress togs. Why??? A dance at the Service Club was given tonight. Pretty girls, good music, and lots of punch helped us to have a good time. , ' THURSDAY, AUGUST 23 I A moving picture man was here yesterday and today taking pictures of the regiment. These pictures are to be shown in the theaters in the Seventh Corps Area, it was said. In the afternoon a regimental review was held. . FRIDAY, AUGUST 24 Today we practiced pitching pup tents so that we'll know how it's done when we go on the hike. We also had instruction in signaling. This afternoon an airplane demonstra- tion was held. A concert was given by the 17th Infantry band. Moving pictures were also shown. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2 5 - It rained this morning but we had inspection anyway. We were in hopes that the inspection would be called off. Guess this is the last we'll have, for the camp will be over in a few more days. Wish it were going to last all the time for we surely do have a good time. Everybody treats us like we're the Hsalt of the earthf, A street dance and carnival was held at Leavenworth tonight. Doggone, but we hate to see the camp close. - ' MONDAY, AUGUST 27 C We were going on the hike today but it rained so we stayed in camp. A TUESDAY, AUGUST 28 p We're off on the hike. Doesn't that bring back fond memories? Weill be seasoned soldiers by the time we get back. U WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29 Well, we got back to camp this morning. We were a little tired but we were Still smiling. We started turning in our equipment. Seems like we're parting with old friends to turn it in. Tonight General Dorey made his farewell address. Was pretty sad. 'We sure hate to leave. He's a general and a good one, but he's a man too and we all like him. We all hope that we can follow in his footsteps. Excellence medals were presented, after which a huge bonfire was lighted and a snake dance was held. THURSDAY, AUGUST 30 We turned in the rest of our equipment this morning, bid our officers and our friends goodbye, and this afternoon saw us on our way home. I guess there were a lot of us fellows who had the same feelings as HAbe Lincoln when he said that he once felt, after he had stubbed his toes, that '4He was too big to cry, and too little not to. I guess a lot of us felt a choking sensation around the throat. But its all right, for-we're coming back next year. So long fellows 'till IQ24. . ' Page One Hundred Twenty
