THE CMT CAMP JOSEPH M. Woons, Staff Sergeant l've ben observin' everything thet's goin' on 'round Camp. l've seed the boys a drillin' all day long, An' when their work wuz over at their games I've seed 'em ramp, With laugh an' jest an' joke an' snatch uv song. I heer some folks air kickin' 'bout the cost uv it. Thet's ROT. l've ben a watchin' mighty clost ter see Ef money they air spendin' hez ben throwed away er not. Frum what l've seed an' heered it couldn t be. ,Y ls HOME, an' 'CLOVE Uv COUNTRY ter mean nothin' fer us now? - HF D S T :ap Must we worship at the ILTHY OLLAR HRINE . Ter HPEACE AT ANY PRICE, must our great country humbly bow? That's PACIFIST religion. It ain't mine. Qur country needs a second line on which it kin depend. Ef any other country makes a break Per ter disrupt our ideals an' our right ter freedom end, The HONOR uv the country is at stake. The boys thet's here attendin' camp air larnin' somethin' new- Ter live an' act by sane an' rightful rule. They're taught 'bout self-reliance, somethin' thet but mighty few Kin gether frum a college er a school. . They'll go back ter the home town with a broader, better view Uv duties ez a citizen an' man.. i They're larnin' how ter live a life thet's straight an' clean an' true. jest tell me somethin' better ef yer can.

is M A C A N D I D A T E JOSEPH M. WOODS, Staff Sergeant THE JEFFERsONiAN And it came to pass that even as the locust descendeth upon the grain field in uncounted number so descendeth upon the land of the Soldier a great horde of voung men in motlev garb,who clamoreth in loud voices that rangeth from deep basso even unto the high and shrill falsetto, 'cOh, great and glorious Uncle Sam, we beseethe thee. Enlist us in the army of CMTC that thou so generously hath provided for the youth of the nation that they may be transformed from weak and puny vessels unto the strength of Goliath. And after each hath been accepted he hieth himself unto the Mess Hall where he filleth himself totoverflowing with a variety of foods containing vitamines in large numbers. And it shall come to pass after he hath partaken to repletion ofthe bountiful repast, he falleth into line with many others in like condition and hurrieth briskly unto the Quarter- master Clothing Room from whence he emergeth clad in glad raiment and lo, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Yea, it hath been said he walketh the earth proudly even as joseph in his coat of many colors. But as he attempteth to trip lightly away in his newly-issued brogans which originateth from the outer boundaries of the festive bovine, verily the lame, the halt, and the blind hath nothing on this embryonic c'Son of Mars . 'As he gazeth sadly upon the area of leather which surroundeth his pedal extremities and extendeth even from Dan to Beersheba, from his lips issueth forth the murmur: Lord, helpeth me that both my feet be enabled to track again as of yore.', And in the fullness of time he acquireth that necessary co-ordination of mind, muscle, and cow-hide when lo, his feet tracketh even as one who treadeth the straight and the narrow way. Then it is written that, with others of his ilk, he shall appear before the Drill Sergeant who willst warble,'cRight, Dress. Whereupon each and sundry begin a hasty tightening of waist-belts and seeketh to correct any 'fWrong Dress, lest the sight wound the tender sensibilities of this Regular Army arbiter of their destinies who forthwith teareth at his hair and soundeth off in a loud voice, Hlforgive them, Father, they know not what they do. - I But as time passeth they look less and less the novice and acquire more and more the carriage and firm step of the seasoned soldier until the Drill Sergeant looketh upon them with great pride and shaketh hands with himselfand shouteth aloud, Lend me your ears that thou mayest see the results of my handiworkf, And when the Camp endeth and they neareth their homes, the people run out to meet them and fall upon their necks as they welcome the returning prodigal and forthwith soundeth forth the refrain from the outermost limits of the Corps Area, HLO, a miracle hath been wrought. Qur sons leaveth us hollow of chest and sluggish of mind and returneth unto us again men of mighty brawn and alert mentality. Long live the ChflTC. 4 D 4' tr? , aw- . , ,. l I Pagf Om' llzuzrlrrd Tlzz'rIy-llzrnf l U I. n N-Y-lVo'n'aYAYs'uVs'n'.lYu'-VoVs'l'u'u'b'4Vu7A'oVA
