, O THE FULL PACK ,, 1 HISTORY OF TROOP A T On August first, 1927, over a hundred youths from the states of Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas assembled and formed what was to be known later as Troop MA . 'This howling mob confronted the ofiicers with a defying glint in their eyes which read, Just try to show us anything about what a Trooper is supposed to known. So the oHicers held a conference and determined that the boys should be taught their place. Then the fun began! The boys were shown what a horse looked like, what this was, and what that was. So, in the course of events the boys learned which side of a horse was the getting on sidew. They were also taught just what to do when the command 'cSaddle up was given. After a passing of time, namely thirty days, the officers decided that they had succeeded in inject- ing a little knowledge of, Just what a Trooper was supposed to known. Having succeeded thus far,!we,ll turn our thoughts to the athletic results. In baseball the Troop finished in fourth place with an average of 750 per cent. All the games were very 'ctigh't . Tilley came out on top in the fielding, finishing with.Iooo per cent. The Troop managed to hold up their end in the other sports also and were repre- sented in indoor baseball, volleyball, tennis and track. Middleton took the boxing cham- pionship in the welterweight class. I He sure can fight! The Troop also took the thirty- man relay. This relay was a competition of relay teams from every company in camp. Is the Troop fast-and how! ', The officers of the Troop were, Captain L. LeR. Martin, 2nd Cav., Commanding, Ist Lieutenant P. G. Febiger, 2nd Cav., 2nd Lieutenant Walter Burnside, 2nd Cav.g 2nd Lieutenant J. R. Andie, Cav-Res. Lieutenants Febiger and Andie were Platoon Com- manders. The Cadet officers were Brown, Captain, Kinney, Lieutenant, and Russell, Lieutenant. And now as the camp is drawing to a close, let us present sabres to theyofhcers, both the instructing oflicers and student officers, who led us so nobly, and to the men who responded to their call. ' QVANTI LE PLATT FOUR FEET FROM HEAD TO CROUP i Oh! There's one thing in the Cavalry Oh! They hear the same words every day, Until they know them all by heart, That all the Troopers know, They hear it morning, noon and night, Even when they're walking with a girl They make 'em walk Four Feet apart. . lt follows them, where'ere they go. n Oh! They hear it every time they ride, And when they climb those Golden Stairs, Thru the Pearly Gates they'll troop, just as sure as Hell Saint Pete'll yell- F0urfeet,f1'0m head to croup. In the Squad, Platoon or Troop, Every mile or so, Some bird will crow- Four feet, from head to eroup. Page Sevenzy-revefz . ,VuUnYa'nVnYoVaV Jn I I .
