.paw U 1. I croaa The Executive Offieerjs Message l : E LIEUTENANT COLONEL L. C. BENNETT Executive Officer When you have received this annual the camp will have been closed and you young men who attended it will be at your homes. Some of you will be in school and the rest wi-ll be at your civilian tasks. But I ask of you, to not forget those vital things of knowledge that a successful citizen or soldier must know-the things that were taught you at the camp this year. A , I saw you young men from Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri when you first came into our midst, and I watched you as you left the camp for your homes. When you left your shoulders were straighter than whenyou came, you held your heads up and your chests out. Your appearance was Hmilitaryf' and your manner suggested that you had enough' confidence in yourselves to be the master of any situation that might arise. You have done nobly in your training. The intensive training which you received was no doubt hard on some of you, but you 'ccarried oni' as REAL Americans always do, and I have yet to hear you grumble. In parting I wish to remind you again to follow out your teachings and to always lead clean and noble lives, so that when the Great Moment comes and you are called upon for duty with YOUR Colors, you will be ready and fit for service. Mayi you ever prosper. LIEUT.-COLONEL L. C. BENNETT, Executive Officer. Page Twenty-reven

OUR SENTIMENTS It takes aghard job, faced and accomplished cooperatively, and with many congenial agreements and disagreements, to bring out the strong points and abilities of a man, and to establish friendships. Unfortunate indeed is the man who has never had these experi- ences, and correspondingly fortunate is he who can meet such conditions in a manly way. For this reason, among many others, we who have had the privilege of engaging in the constructing and assembling of this Annual, can forget the hours of hard work-harder because of the good times the rest of the candidates were enjoying-and remember only 'thejoy of accomplishment and of new friendships formed. It has been the hope and effort of the staff to instill into this book something more than a mere recounting of the hard work, namely, the interesting experiences and the comical situations of the camp. Those who sacrificed to produce a tangible memory of our month here are in camp for a purpose, and that purpose has as its guiding beacon the Starry Banner that floated at the center-of the camp. We have thrilled to follow it in Review. We have been proud and glad to salute it at Retreat. And we hope our lives will be a fitting sacrifice should they ever be required. Page Twenty-eight .
