SENICRS - ' - Class Rings - Farewells - Diplomas In thc fall of 1940, 48 new enlistees of the camp of E.T.H.S. were accepted by twelve commanding officers. These new recruits soon finished maneuvers finitia- tionl and chose their company leaders: Sgt. John Malcom, Cpl. Ray Shoemaker, and Pfc. Bill Kilpatrick. Tinker O'Connor was chosen to represent the group on the Camp Council. The C. O. in charge of this platoon was Lt. Snyder. After having completed basic training, the platoon was shipped to Camp Sopho- more. Here they became well known for their leadership. The leaders of these can- didates were Sgt. John Malcom, Cpl. Les- lie Hibbs, Pfc. Bill Kilpatrick, and Camp Council Member Tinker O'Connor. They passed their final aptitude and mental tests and were ready to be shipped out to Fort Junior. They bid farewell to Lt. Too- hill, their superior officer, and marched out of Camp Sophomore with a fleeting backward glance at the new batch of fledglings. At Fort Junior these candidates were soon engrossed in the task of earning money for the annual mess, the Promen- ade. They staged Campus Quarantine, directed by WAC Officer Marian Tendick, and also fed the hungry crowds at the lo- cal games. On May 14, 1944, they donned their dress uniforms and gave a Hawaiian Luao for the departing graduates. Lead- ers that year were John Malcom, Esther Allison, Tinker O'Connor, Mary Rita Bar- clay, and Gene Steffen. Privates Jarvis, Woefle, Monahan, Hibbs, Woosley, and Mayes were among those given transfers to other camps. Thirty-four advanced candidates en- tered Senior Field. Before graduation Ray Baker left camp and Gene Williamson was transferred to an Eastern fortg LeRoy Pinkham and Bill Kirkton were called to active duty, making a total of five from the 44th platoon who were in khaki and navy blue-Bill Kilpatrick, Lloyd Patter- son and Leslie Hibbs having entered the Navy sometime before. In the spring, the annual supper-dance given by the junior officers, and A Mind of Her Own, under the direction of Senior Officer Tendick, were highlights of camp life. The company received their bars on May 25th. The departing officers of the platoon were Gene Steffen, John Malcom, Jerry Pfister, Mary Rita Barclay and Lyle McWilliams, Major Bowers very ably guided his class to victory. We are sure each and every one of the 44th platoon will find his place in the world and make a success of it just as he did his training in the army of E.T.H.S.
