Clarkton, Ark M O Ark M o HISTORY OF COMPANY G EDGAR EVANS ,We hail from dear old Illinois, the region of vast corn fields and fertile land, where Abe Lincoln lived and was reared. Our members come from all corners of that state, some from the north, some from the south and others from the east and west. Thev call us Suckers but we have shown ourselves to be deserving of a better name. cooperating. with our very fine officers we have become one of the most alert and ready companies in camp. , When Camp opened, we went thru the Mmilln, got our clothes and were given tents. Then when we were settled we started learning c'Squads right and left . When Lieu- tenant Catlin called for volunteers for the various sports, the enthusiasm was unbeatable. Work went onlin earnest and soon the teams were going in great style. The basketball team did the finest work. lt ran up a record of twelve victories and no defeats. . Then came the drill with guns. They seemed very heavy at first but we soon became accustomed to their weight. The manual of arms was soon conquered and those who showed exceptional ability were made corporals and sergeants. These men did their work well and deserve praise for it. The sergeants wore a red star with crossed guns as a pin to hold it on, while the corporals wore a red star alone. They had the authority to command and see that commands were carried out. Now that we had become accustomed to the drill and seemed ready, we had our first review. Cf course we were scared at first but by the time we had reached the stand all fear was gone and our only thought was to pass by with as good a line as possible. Company MG sure did the work well and we passed without a flaw in the line. Every man had done as he should and an excellent review for Company G was the result. ' The next thing was to start training for marksmanship. Accordingly, on Thursday, July 22, we donned our fatigue clothes and trooped over to the sighting range. There we learned how to get the front sight in the center of the peep and touching the lower edge of the bull's-eye. This part of the training completed, the next move was the posi- tion ofthe sling so as to aid materially in shooting. Then we took up the prone and sitting os1t1ons. p Then came the day of judgment to see how well we had listened to instructions. The results were very good. The average, per man, was 58.7 out of a possible 75. The percent qualified was 87.2. Highest .honors went to Elmer R. Harris with a .71 out of a possible 75. Lee E. Grubb ranked second with 71 and Kenneth King was third with 69. The best rifie shot from Williamson County was Samuel B. Eastland. The other individuals who won honors were, Walter W. Frick, acting first sergeant, who was considered the best student in Company HG , Vifalter W. Fisher, second best, and Raymond C. Kaegel, third best. I I The best drilled man and also the best athlete from Williamson County was Lowell E. Green. John A. Henson was awarded the honor of being the best student from lNIfercer COuIilW7yei must not pass over this record, however, .and leave out those who have made the thing go over. Captain Hand deserves much credit for the way he has managed the Com- pany. The lieutenants in charge, too, have pushed cthewissue to its best andiwe feel that with their fine cooperation we have made Company G OHS Of the best BaS1C COmPaU1eS in Camp.
