Om learning the techniques of handling the business interests of an organization. Delicious odors began to sail down the halls, and it wasn't long before most of the wandering groups had dis- covered a very important part of any camp. This was where future cooks were trained. The future quartermas- ters headquarters were here, too, evid- enced by the whirring sewing machines and snipping scissors. The Public Relations department looked interesting, and the room for essential training in English and foreign languages had already attracted pros- pective students. The physical training room had constant visitors because every trainee had enrolled in physical ed. After their extensive tour of the grounds, the recruits were anxious to get into the routine of camp life. They had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to specialize in and were ready to start. These raw recruits, four years later, could scarcely be recognized. They were no longer hesitant and unsure of themselves. They had been taught how to handle themselves in active duty, and they were going into active duty now. lnto many different branch- es of service, and many different parts of the world they would travel or tal-Le their place, but they were confident of themselves because of their background training received in the camp of CCCHS. 11 7 .fi I 1 ' I, 1 ' . , uf I ' ' ' f .' , s - ,y , ,1, 1' - -'Ari ,-.- ,ggi 'so'-I ,Q1 ,if . - ,'3'II. c i't'.' 1 ,- I ' L,f,,' lv' I o '-.Da . ggi' Q.
