THE CONCORDIAN 1937 Senior Hzkffory FOUR YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE ln the fall of 1933 a new regiment of Minute Men entered the Concord Camps. Mr. Kendall was Captain: our Hrst lieutenant Dale Martin: second lieutenant Vernon Bontragerg and Marjorie Schalliol was elected guard of the records and funds. As we wanted no flies on our captain the Algebra class presented Captain Ken- dall with a fly-swatter, which was received with a flowery speech of gratitude, The regiment that was in service a year ahead of us gave us a party, after which we' were r-equested to wear green badges as there was nothing green about our regi- ment except Kenny, We soon left training again to enjoy an April Fool party in First Lieutenant Martin's quarters. Then to finish our first year of training in good humor we went to the little creek behind camp and had a weiner roast. During this year and the followng summer we were sorry to have Clayton Ash- ley, Evelyn Barker, Edward Canen, Dewey Gongwer, Carol Miller, Lester Nead, Morris Pletcher, Robert Polmater, Mahlon Swigart, Robert Sperow, and Carol Hartman leave our ranks. During the second year of service Mr. Myers and Mr. Kindig were- our Captainsp Donald Hayden first lieutenantg Dale Martin second lieutenantp and Esther Burkholder guarded the records and funds. In September we initiated the new reglment, We soon broke ranks again and invited the whole camp membership to a roller skating party, which was a grand success. After Christmas we took some more time off and had a party in Grace SInith's quarters. 'l his was given by the losing side of a Christmas seal sale cont-est. One afternoon we presented the play Two Crooks and a Lady before the Camp. It was given later in the limtown Camp. We regret to say that during this year and the following summer Mable Over- holt, Louise Puterbaugh, Gwendolyn Shriver, Evelyn Whiteman, Saxon Upp, and Robert Iohnson left our ranks, After a summers vacation we came back to camp in fresh uniforms of enthusiasm. Mrs, Stump was our Captaing Iohn Whittington first lieutenantg Richard H-elminger second lieutenant, Gerald Bowers kept our records and Doris Bickel took care of our funds. On one of our marches we decided to go on roll-er skates and invited the rest of the camp and Alumni to join us. Then Donna Belle Whisler invited us to her quar- ters for a little' Halloween fun. We presented the comedy Pulling the Curtain for the camp and community, then at the Little Theater. To close the year in good style we prepared the Iunior-Senior reception for the regiment ahead of us, after which we went to see The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. During this year and the' following summer Esther Burkhol-der, George Chilcote, Donald Hayden, Robert Fay, and Victor Wriggley left our camp, As we started out on our fourth year of training we were under the command of Captain Duker. lames Marve'l was first lieutenant: Iohn Whittington second lieuten- ant, llah Stutsman kept the records and Doris Bickel guarded the funds. Gerald Richwine and Dale Martin supervised the Arsenal. We' had several parties during this last year. We again had a roller skating party, Then we went to Donna Bell's quarters again for a scavenger hunt. We also ran in unexpectedly on Doris Bickel for a birthday surprise an-d later we met for a grand time at the quarters of lane Rieth. We presented with great success Dangerous Men for all of those interested. During this year Ioe Welker left us. With flags raised we look to Graduation as our command to start in the battles of life. l8l EI E,
