Having completed three years (or more) of intensive training at Camp Commerce, the members of the graduating ”42 battalion are now ready to charge over the top into the battle of life. Knowing full well that many of us will not survive the blitzkriegs of life's panzer divisions, we are hereby surrendering to the instructors and the underclass privates and officers material that may (or may not) prove of use to them in the course of their stay at the camp. In other words, this is our last will and testament. To Commander-in-Chief, Stanley O. Smith, and Chief of Staff, Stillman E. McKerlcy, we leave a twenty-one gun salute for their BANG-UP job of directing our maneuvers during our period of service at training headquarters. To the Technical Sergeants of Battalion 42,” Helen E. Parker, Martha B. Judd, and Harold W. Jones, we leave our deep appreciation for the way in which they have bolstered our courage and morale, and kept us on the path to glory, at times when we might otherwise have faltered. To those who persist in breaking training regulations of the camp, we leave the warning that Boogeyman Jackson will get you if you don't watch out!” General William F. Loader leaves to Lieutenant-General William Russell, together with his service stripes, a pair of leather lungs with which to shout when the members of his battalion arc in discord. [28] Because her smile always belies her, we leave to Helen E. Rankin, leader of the Caduceus patrol, an Edward G. Robin- son mask to aid her in her attempts to assume the manner of a tough top sergeant. To Albert Raschi, camp photographer, we leave flashless flashlight bulbs with which to take pictures during blackouts. We leave to G. Donald Melville a high-powered rifle to use on the next testator who bequeaths him a joke book— although we admit that an occasional glance at the modern stuff would do him no harm! To athletic director, Elbryn H. B. Myers, we leave the sincere desire that he will continue to inspire his charges with high ideals of good sportsmanship and fair play. To those newly enlisted in the ranks, we leave the faint glimmer of hope that the possible paper shortage throughout the country will eliminate penmanship from their training requirements. And now a final word to the men in the ranks. The flag of victory and success long has been flying over our camp: so be sure to KEEP IT FLYING! Cochdirnifn.
