MAN ' ' exce entj Company held the streamer quite a few times and proved to be 100923 perfect, once or twice. On Thursday, after we were situated in our tents we passed thru th M d' l D n u 0 , . e e ica e- lparitment to see if we were still fit after our long rides and experiences. The M. D's. surely a that planned beforehand because they put us thru on schedule After a few minutes of milling around like newly placed steers we were pushed thru the clothing room to get fits and unfits. A few Hgimme this, Ugimme that, I want my hat, and these are too tightj' obtained a form fitting outfit to use during the stay. On Friday the late comers were nxed and assigned to their respective bunks. On Saturday, July 10, things be an 8 to happen. Captain Slate organized us into two platoons. 1st Lieutenant McGraw took charge of the lst lat d 2 d L' platoon. The men were assorted as to experience and advanced courses. The Blues were sergeants, the Whites were guides, file closers and corporals, and the Reds were all buck privates, 'ceptini Zeno who tried his best to be a file closer. ' Sunday nearly all of us went to St.-Louis to look it over but came back satisfied that the Barracks were good enough for us. Monday, July 12, real drills started. After a few sensational exhibitions we were again executing dear old f'Squads right and left . Soon we were assigned a rifle to 'ctote around . Time was given to knock the cosmoline off as it was juni barely rubbed on. We spent many fine days in camp but of all the drill days July 17 and 19 were the best because we were shooting on the rifle range. Most of us were successful on the range and many qualified for marksmen and sharpshooters. The highest score was 98, made by Phillips. Company A -made the highest percentage as a Company unit. Cur score was 86.82, per man. Y The following days were spent in drill, manual of arms, parades, athletics and lectures on citizenship, first aid, and cleanliness. During the last week we had a hike, a sham battle, and were presented medals for the various events. In the various games, Company A had an average above medium. In the field meet we were very near the top, taking second place with Q21 points and losing by only two-thirds of a point. Audrey Woods won two first places Cone in the shot put, tossing it 41 feet 8M inches, the other in the football pass, which he won by a throw of 169 feetj. Frank Haynes won a first and a second place. L. E. Wilson won second place in the football pass and Charlie Lacey won the title of second best baseball catcher in Camp. In boxing, Arthur Floyd won the 125 pound class championship and C. W. Chalfant won the 135 pound title. Frey won the gold rnedal for the biggest improvement in the Company. I .
