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.
