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

Such is the institution that 'develops leadership in boys, that imbues them with the spirit of helpfulness and establishes within them the desire to become better men and better American citizens. - Too much cannot be said for the government that makes possible such a camp for American boys. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon those who lead and guide and direct camp life. A ' p To you, the parents, we would ask you to entrust us with your boy for thirty days. We will return him to you a better boy in more ways than one. To you, the boys, we would encourage you to Camp with Uncle Sam . You will be the better for it and you will look back upon your camp life as one of the most helpful, most important, and most memorable experience in your life. THE GARRISOINVS TRIBUTE JOSEPH M. Woons, Staff Sergeant It's mighty still an, lonesome since the boys all went away. The air itself feels empty-sorta home-sick, I should say, An, it kinda chokes yer gullet an' yer throat begins ter swell Fer yu' notice a big difference since the boys quit raisin' Hell. Then yu think uv all them youngsters, Tom an' Dick an' Ed an' Bill, An' yer mind begins ter wander an' yer eyes begin ter fill, Yu wonder ef yu'll ever meet up with them boys agin, Boys so full uv fun an' mischief thet it looked jest like a sin. Ter hev ter bawl sich fellers out fer things thet they would do Agin the Regulations, but the job wuz up ter you, So yu'd do it in the good ol, way thet left no sign uv doubt With the fellers thet wuz guilty thet theyld hed a 'baelinf outi. They warn't no hard feelinfs over things like thet, yu know. They knowed thet we ol' timers hed ter show ,em how ter go. But now thet camp is over they air Scattered here an, there, A steppin, high an, hansome an' a feelin, free as air. Camp discipline is in the past. They do jest ez they please. They go an' come whene'er they like ez free ez Wanderin breeze. In spite uv this their minds ,ll often turn ter ol' camp days, Their eyes will sorta moisten an' theyill see ez through a haze. The faces uv ol' comrades-Ol' camp bunikies good an,-tru.e- Then they'll hanker fer them ol' days while they're livin, in the new. Pagz' Om? H11 zzrfrm' T11 z'rIy-fm , . . . l
