sahxx Y THE SENTINEL HISTORY OF BATTERY E Originally D Battery, 3rd Field Artillery, CMTC was called B Battery of the CMTC Provisional Field Artillery Battalion, Cback in IQ26l, and some of the old timers in our midst recall that during that year our officers were Captain Arthur B. YVade and Ist Lieutenant H. Baker, both of the 14th Field Artillery. During the summer of IQ27, Lieutenant Baker was relieved by Lieutenant Bush and Lieutenants WVatser and lVIcNaughton. On returning to camp in IQ28, we found that a decided change had taken place. lfVe reported on July 26th to find the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Field Artillery had replaced the name of the old ISK Battalion of the 14th Field Artillery. We also discovered that we were to be drilled the first two weeks by oflicers of the 33Ist Field Artillery CReserveD. The officers in command selected Fred D. Callahan to be Cadet Battery Commander and N. B. Kramer and Fred L. McCormick to be Cadet Lieutenants. These first two weeks passed quickly and now we found ourselves back among old friends. Lieutenant Bush, commanding, assisted by Captain Swedberg CReserveD, Lieu- changed. Eden tenant' Cannon and Lieutenant Scade. Our Cadet officers were also Hayes was made Cadet Battery Commander and Carlos Richards and Irving Dillard became our Lieutenants. Our drill continued unbroken. Then came the night of our Hrst dance. It was by far the best dance ever held by the CMTC. So on thru visitors, day and the second dance all of which passed with many a happy moment. The three day hike, another dance at Spring Bank, our return to Camp, and our time was getting short. Nevertheless, now that its time to depart, we want to say that we have never enjoyed a Camp more and if everything goes well, we are going to be back again next year. BY THEIR EXPRESSIONS YE SHALL KNOW THEM Lieutenant Bushful see some doity underware this morningf' Lieutenant Cannon- Looks nice as hellf, Lieutenant WValser- Youlre at attention.

THE SENTINEL RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES ANOBSERVER Religious services have a vital place in the life of the Army and are recognized as a morale builder. At McCoy this year, 'E Church Parade was held each Sunday Morning. Catholics were marched to Mass at 8:00 a. m. and general Protestant services were held in the theatre at 9:00 a. m. Marching the cadets to church was something new, but it met the approval of the young men. The services were short and interesting. The Chaplain placed special emphasis upon religion as an essential element of good citizenship. Without . this religious training and instruction it would be impossible to build men. On the arrival of the cadets at Camp, they were met by the Chaplain, who gave them instructions on what to do and urged them to make the Chaplain their real comrade and friend. Money and other valuables were deposited with him and drawn out as needed. He also spent much of his time in visiting the hospital and in talking to the men in their company streets and tents. The cadets soon learned to know and place ab- solute conhdence in the Chaplain and in him they confided their joys, their sorrows, their troubles and cares, and in every case they were sent away with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. The Chaplain, too, was much in evidence at all social activities and lent much to such occasions by his ever present smile and ready wit. THE HOSTICSS HOUSE One of the most pleasant places in Camp was the Hostess House, where the Cadets were welcomed by Miss Lillian Kelly, the Camp Hostess. Miss Kelly, of Eau Clair, NVis- consin, has had a number of years experience in looking after the welfare and comforts of soldiers and in directing Camp Social Activities. She served over-seas with the Ameri- can Red Cross Canteen Service for nine months, was hostess with the Regular Army at Camp Taylor, Kentucky and Fort DesMoines, Iowa for four years, and was a hostess for the CMTC at Fort Sheridan for 1926. W'hether from experience or from natural charm we do not know, but we do know that Miss Kelly was one of the mainfactors in keeping up the frprit-de-corps of the Camp. She made the Hostess House a real home, and the hours we spent there, whether reading, writing, or playing games, were indeed happy ones. The Hostess House, thanks to Colonel Perry, is well lighted and strewn with com- fortable chairs. A well stocked library occupies one end of the building, while the' other is devoted to card tables and games. On the whole, we liked our Hostess House and our Hostess. To you, Miss Kelly, we wish to say that in you we found a real friend, and one we will not soon forget. CITIZENSHIP This subject has become one of the most vital of all subjects, because it is based upon the intelligence, education and character of our citizens. The course of instruction at Camp McCoy this year was based upon the VVar Department Manual of Citizenship Training. Instruction on this text was given to the cadets taking training in the Red, White and Blue Courses, and into the lectures by the Chaplain were woven the faith, sacrifice, and achievements of the early pioneers of America and the settlement and de- velopment of the great VVest.
