THE SENTINEL The cadets were told how our government functions, of the legislature, the executive, and the judicial departmentsfhow one acts as a check against the other. Special em- phasis was laid upon the benefits and -advantages accruing to all citizens under that form of government set up by the constitution. The cadets were told that our form of govern- ment is not a Democracy but a Republic and that this was in the minds of the founders of this nation. The series of lectures on Citizenship at McCoy covered such subjects as National Defense, Constitutional Government, the Flag and its proper uses, Fidelity, Obedience, Loyalty, Courtesy and Discipline. MESS Speaking of Automobiles, how did you like the truck we had for dinner today?', W'ell, its K. P. this and its K. that, so what's the usef, But laying jokes aside we believe that we have had a real mess during our stay in camp and if we haven't increased our weight on an average of five pounds per man, then eating good rich food and drinking plenty of milk will do absolutely no good, and hence- forth we propose to adjust our colored glasses and dine on sawdust and hay. The CMTC Messes have been under the direct supervision of Captain Edward Renth. Infantry, U. S. Army, whose permanent abode is in Joliet, Illinois, the land of milk and honey, where liverwurst grows on trees and limburger cheese is the password to society. VVhen we first saw the jovial skipper , we knew that we were going to have a good mess,because one glance at the Captain's becoming rotundity would let you know that he was a man who had been used to the best in culinary art. Much, too, do we owe to Sergeant Rudolph A. Gede, of the Cooks and Bakers School, Fort Sheridan, Illinois, our ever present Mess Sergeant. Then there was Lawrence and Didrickson and Hedrick and Ykubchick from the 3rd Field Artillery. To them we owe many thanks and wishes of good luck in the years to come. -.i,.....? .-5.-,L-J - .- lf-'xx 1 ' '..-:'J.1. -- :-g... , -4-J .7- .1 -ii - - M, 3.5-1:,,,'s '- KW ...f-fatal.-Hug-1,-,ff Q i - .... . . , ,..... .- i 1114. -rff4.eaQf:vtwf.,ffs.... 7' -4- we I - r,,., , ,eq ,. , -D it .?.L.r , -1Q-ff TF 4 Y :V 1,4 , af Z. :.f:- 4...t i YQ Y .. s Elurrzmgnshl SUNSET IN WISCONSIN HILLS CADET NVILLIAM I-I.
