Company E was already represented by ten or twelve students who came the day before the formal opening of the month's training. The earliest group to arrive and be assigned duties for that day were Robert Aschbacher, Lloyd Furlong, VVilliam Alexander Dewey Brush, and George Evanoff. Their duties, ias soon as they were properly quarteredi consisted of spending the remainder of the day in the Mess Hall pealing potatoes. 4 On the morning of July 10 the candidates were all given the Oath of Allegiance by Colonel George W. England. After the oath the men of Company UE responded to their pledge to the fullest possible measure. The effective training received by the members of Company HE could never have been appreciated to its full extent if it had not have been for the able leaders we had in the officers that were assigned to our Company.. We were cognizant of the fact 'that we were under the leadership of some of the ablest men stationed at Jefferson Barracks. T Our commander, Captain Dan H.Riner, was also the commander of Company HF. last summer and we who were fortunate enough to be placed again in Company UE were very happy indeed. Captain Riner was ably assisted by Captain Knowlton and Lieutenants Lewis and Gibbs. Our military training, under the efficient hands of Cap- tain Knowlton, has been such that we will realize in later years its effect upon us at this time. O THE JEFFERSQNIAN - ATHLETICS A To anyone who has not spent a month in the open,the full value derived from such an outing can not be fully realized. Company HE was in the front in the leading sports and activities at all times. All of our men participated in some sport or other. The sports participated in by Company E were boxing, basketball, indoor baseball, tennis, swim- ming wrestling, and track. V ' Men who placed in the track and field meet from' Company Ev were, G. I. F.ldred, 1st in the 100 yard dash, P. Garrison, 4th in the 100 yard dash, C. E. Good, 3rd in the broad jump, C. R. Bell, 3rd in the 440 yard dash, C. F.. Good, 2nd in the pole vault, and the team composed of Conrad, Bell, Garrison, and Eldred won the relay race. We were runners-up in the basketball championship race. The men who represented Company E were: Bundy, Alexander, Cole, Good, Brush, and Furlong. Company Nl-Vs indoor baseball team won the Camp championship title. ' Laurel Fenwick won the heavyweight boxing title of the camp. MARKSMANSHIP h Company HE was second among all the companies in the average of all the men in the Companies on the rifle range. We had an average of 84.2 percent and a high single score of 96 percent. Company HA was first with an average of 86.8 percent for the entire Company and a high score of 98 percent. b I V We were especially proud of our record on the range. Some of theihighest scores, firing prone and sitting, at a distance of 200 yards were: Bond, 96, Fenwick, 96, Carter, 95, Bertram, 95, Dehl, 94, Furlong, 94, Campbell, 93, Jay, 92, and Adams, 90. . Besides its excellence on the range, Company NEW was also very efficient in other phases of the military life. VVe won highest honors in both cleanliness and drill.
