THE SENTINEL ff I: f W4 'li Thursday, the 23rd, was the day of days! Company li showed the crowd how we threw out those chests. You should have heard all the oh's and ahis of sweethearts and parents when they saw those muscles and the coat of tan, all of which had been developed here in old Fort Sheridan. It was only natural that we should be glad to pull out for home, but at the same time Camp Holliday never seemed better to us. The only regret we have is the fact that we can't stay a little longer and continue the many friendships we made during our short period here. COMPANY E U PERSONALS One of the greatest kicks the Basics got out of camp was seeing the inhabitants of Tent 23 swabbing decks on special detail. But weire here to tell you that Lieutenants Morgan, Timmer and Sabotink can certainly do the job. - We are all wondering how Red VVilkinson got his pull with the cooks. However, they should have made Red carry out all his extra milk bottles. As it was, the KP's had to get some empty cases to remove the Glass , And as long as weire asking questions we might as well try to find out why Tent 28 had such few visitors the last few days of camp. They tell us that they got so lonesome in there that they went out and carried fellows in to keep them company. Tent 3o,in charge of Corporal Scarratt,certainly made an end to competition for the best tent banner. No one knows how many times they had it-:and only three other tents have any idea. VVe wonder how many fellows have jumped out of the way when Corporal Wherling has blown his Hhornu? YVhen it comes to speed on formations, the fourth platoon kept us all on edge-waiting for them. They usually managed to complete right dressu by the time the rest of the Company had been dismissed. And Katz usually are so quick! The fourth platoon also had a Wolffe. Billings of the first platoon was the tallest man in Camp Holliday. He extended 6 feet 4 inches into the atmosphere. They put him at Right Guide so the whole company could see him and keep in file.

COMPANY E HISTORY GEORGE MYERS On july 27, upwards of 2000 young men stormed Fort Sheridan for the opening of the 1928 CMTC. Out of those fellows, about 216 were assigned to Company E , 6th Infantry. We shanit forget the experiences of that first day in campfthe physical exam- ination, issuing of clothing and supplies, the making of new acquaintances and the renewing of friendships of previous years in camp. Then for the first few days how we hated that bugler, who insisted upon waking us even before the sun had risen above the horizon of Lake Michigan. But we gradually broke into the swing of the thing and managed to get out for formations just as Cadet Captain Trude announced for the hundredth time that there was plenty of special detail for those who failed to fall in on time and in full dress, Knot tuxedos in this easel. The first week in camp was spent mainly in mastering the basic commands and move- ments which are essential to military maneuvers. However, in our second week in camp we got down to some real interesting work- cornbat principles and extended order movements. We also took up some work in rifle marksmanship, proper positions, sling adjustments and sighting. All this was in prepara- tion for our three big daysfthe days we were to go on the range. - The range experiences were, in themselves, sufficient reason for coming to camp for most of us. lt was like mock warfare. Then the thrill of firing, the exultation of a bull's eye and the feeling of pride in having qualified for a marksmanls award. Then at the end of the third week we got our packs. They were something new and pretty heavy at first, but oh how they pulled those shoulders back! There was the practice in pitching shelter tents and rolling our packs in preparation for our big hike up to the g A V - g A: , . . . 2 ' lf, . iM! xiii? .. :Ig 22 eip! 11 1 f-'ti H5 E Page S ixly-Iwo V fjfg-mv M -ejk , 4 JI , 2 X . far X T31 71 4 E I I E1 U A, .

There's a Long, Long Traili' wasn't such a popular song as it might have been during our hike to the Great Lakes Training Station. But we all enjoyed the hike thorough- ly--even the night in the pup tents had its thrill. And how it did rain that night! A great many of us were able to hold the fortn, but some of us had to dash the quarter mile to the armory and complete our dreams there on the hard floor. It was a night like that that made us realize the need of a larger and better navy. And oh yes! Company EN was the advance guard for the regiment on the hike. .v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.' C ' I-V-7-V-V-V-V-V-V-VN-VN-V-V-V4Y-V-V-1-V-V-Y-VN-V-'N-Vu
