GOEING HISTORY OF On July 27, 1928, there came to Fort Sheridan a great number of very green rookies, seeking to take the thirty days course as offered by the CMTC. With various stages of bewilderment on their faces they were ushered through the steps of preparation--assigm ments to companies, medical examinations and the changing from their civilian to their military clothes. Out of this number some two hundred and forty were chosen to compose the best company in Camp Holliday-fCompany CHL Not much was done over the week-end, thus giving the men time to acquaint themselves with what was to be their home for the next thirty days. On Monday, however, Company C was taken to the parade ground and given its first drill. VVhat a ragged-looking lot they were. Most of them knew not a thing about military drill, and as for keeping a line dressed-that was a feat quite beyond their power. That same afternoon Company C started its athletic conquests, which were to give it a name to be envied. Then came the day the rifies were issued. They were real soldiers now, and although it was a lot of work chasing all the cosmoline from out the cracks and crevices adherent to a gun, the men felt amply justified to be able to go swinging off down the road with clean and shining pieces resting firmly against their shoulders. After a few days of hard drill, in which the rookies managed to assimilate the manual of arms and even squads right and left, the time arrived for the parade. It was looked forward to with bothulonging and dread, longing to acquit themselves well and dread that something might go wrong. However, everyone was most pleasantly surprised. From a mass of jumbled beings the men had been forged into the fundamentals ofa fine machine, with each cog fitted to a nicety. After a short time more of close order drill there came a form of drill that everyone really enjoyed, the extended order. Although it may have been harder work there was that in it that made each feel as if he were carrying on under real war conditions. To creep Pagf Forty-:wen O

THE SENTINEL forward upon an imaginary enemy and surprise him is every bit as thrilling and not nearly so dangerous as if he were real. Finally, in the regular routine of work, came the range practice. Company Cv made an especial reputation for herself in this field. We put two men on the rifle team that went to Camp Perry, Prosniewski and Setterblade, the latter having the title of best shot in camp, with a score of Q7 out of a possible loo. On August 20 came the event of the season-the overnight hike to the Great Lakes Training Station. After a weary march of four hours, the aviation field, where the Company was to stay for the night, was reached. Tents were pitched and everyone was glad to crawl in. During the night a merry time was had by all. It rained, the wind howled and then a lot of the tents got tired and lay down. The next day, notwithstanding, we moved off bright and early. Packs got heavier every step until it seemed as though each was carrying the world on his shoulders. Finally the welcome line of tents came into view and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. In athletics as in everything, Company HC distinguished itself. In baseball it was far and away above its opponents with an average of IOOO017. In track and field we got three firsts and two seconds, and third place in volleyball. In wrestling we had a champion in the I6O lb. class. In boxing two men placed second in the finals. In indoor baseball C placed second, and second in golf. Thus Company Cv made an enviable record, one that the members can forever hold up with pride. Visitors day, that day on which the students show to the world what they have ac- complished in their month's sojourn at camp, was almost ruined by adverse weather condi- tions. In the afternoon, however, the gods were kind and it cleared up enough to admit of a portion of the demonstrations, and a review. The next two days were occupied in turning in equipment and preparing to leave. Then on Saturday, August 25, officers and men saw the closing of one of the best and the most successful companies in camp--Company HCM. It is most fitting that we render our highest thanks to our officers. To us they were the finest that could be had. Each seemed to do his best to help us along, and we, the men, deeply appreciate what they did for us. THE END OF A PERFECT CAMP Joi-IN P. MANDZIARA The end of camp will reveal just how much the boys have learned from the training they received during the time they were here. Most of the boys have been very conscien- tious, industrious, persistent and willing to learn, and they responded honestly to the various commands and orders which came from the ofiicers that were placed over them. At times it was a bit hard for the boys to do the things that were required of them, but the act of doing what they had to do instilled in them a necessary habit and a valuable secret of success. It is these boys that tried hard and did their best who will be the ones that will profit most and that will go to their respective homes with the spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship. The boys will take back to their homes with them lasting memo- ries of a beautiful camp along Lake Michigan-a camp that has put before its students examples of good men and great, by naming its streets after heroes who have received their training within its bounds. A The boys will never forget the days that were filled with splendor, with martial music, with fluttering flags, with the pulsating hearts of youth, marching, the sports and games, the bugle calls, the beautiful Retreat and the dignity of the whole military life. The boys who have attended camp will have every advantage over those who had the chance but did not come. They will be handier, more self-controlled, more loyal, more orderly, more confident, more respectful, more sound in body and mind, and in the end better law-abiding citizens. These are the rewards that they will take with them from camp. Page Forty-nine
