PUTNAM On July 27, two hundred and sixteen young men from many cities of Illinois, VVis- consin and Michigan arrived at Fort Sheridan to spend a long remembered month. On arriving at camp we found ourselves in the hands of the 317th Cavalry Reserve Ofiicers, with whom we spent our first ten days. The 3I7th, under Colonel Siqueland, as ordered by the VVar Department, processed, and trained for the first two weeks, CMTC students as an experiment on reserve strength. The result is plainly known to all. ' After we had run the gauntlet, beginning by leaving our civies and ending by emerging dressed somewhat hastily as Cavalry men, we spent the first few days organizing. As our Troop contained no gaping, inquisitive Basics, more progress was made and we soon became accustomed to arising at 5:45, having either citizenship and funny stories under Lieutenant Walker or instruction in signalling and communication under Captain Potter. Then came our usual morning mounted and dismounted drill, our afternoon athletics, retreat, chow call, and last but not least, taps. During the first week the Cavalry boys made a very interesting trip via trucks, visit- ing some very noted stables. The stables visited were those of Benjamin Behr, situated west of Lake Forest, and those of Joseph Hertz at Cary, Ill. just before the 317th was relieved by the Regulars, Troop AH was highly honored by being chosen from the entire camp to parade at Lake Forest on Lake Forest Day. In parade here at home , Troop A made a fine showing, which is testified by Major General Malone, who sent us a telegram after one of our parades saying, That was one of the finest showings the Cavalry has ever madefi - Our dance on August I4 was a great success, due to Miss Goodwin and the girls from nearby. By cutting in we sure made it tough for the doughboys that evening. Our young army, although watched by some ISOO others, could not be held down either in the winning of athletics or honors. Our teams entered in the inter-company leagues were well up in the standing. The swimming meet was won by Troop A with eighteen points. Al Martin was first in the ICO yard breast stroke, Marvin Nipper first in the IOO yard back stroke, James Smith first in the ICO yard free style, Tifcrist Kampman second in the 400 yard free style. In track, Herbert Caldwell, leading the entire way, won the mile. Carl Luthy placed second in the 440 yard dash, Robert Boylan was third in the 220 and Dick Haugen second in the shot put. Our fighting trooper , Maynard Honey, defeated Kasper of the C Company water slingers in the feature bout of the championships. Remember how we turned out in a body to urge Honey on to the welterweight championship? Troop AH also housed a champion in our golfer, Howard Kuehl. He won the championship by his low score of 88. Elmer Payne, our crack basketball captain, played center on the championship Ill- inois team against Schrieber, the Wisconsin guard. Dick Schrieber was also captain of Page' St ZJ1'llZy-,l'l Ul'7l .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.- 0 Q ,-,mm,.,.,,,.,m,.,.,m,M,ivJmvmvmvtvbvmn n
