THE IEFFERSONIAN f X' f jj i' W HISTQRY or ooMPANv On july 8 we arrived at jefferson Barracks as green recruits. After a month's hard drill we had made all the other companies drill much harder to keep up with our advance. The first day we were taught when, where, and how to salute. Two days later we were taught different steps and marching, all of which we learnedii'nia.very short time. After drilling a short time, everyone began to lose his awkwardness. Un july 13 rifles, belts, and canteens were issued and then we started to learn the manual of arms. Captain Romaine gave -some splendid talks concerning our health the same day. On July 16 we were assigned platoon sergeants, section leaders, guides, or corporals. On the following day Major Staples Was given command of the Second Battalion which is made up of Com- panies K',, L and HIM. On july 19 Lieutenant Bassett gave instructions in rifie marks- manship and july 22 was spent in platoon drill and a demonstration. Our Hrst parade Was held on july 24 before Colonel Fox, 344th Inf., and Colonel Falls. Company KU went out on the sighting range on july 27 and made a very good showing. The following day we did even better on the rifie range, with a score of 87M'Z9 qualifying. On August 3 we were given pup tents and the rest of our packs and started on an over- night, hike that afternoon. Starting south, we swung around west of camp and then came back on the reservation one and a half miles north of camp. In other words, we marched five miles to get one and a half miles from camp. We began the march back to camp the next day and when we were within a mile of camp we had a sham battle, in which Companies HI , K and UL were victorious. At 4 p. m. we assembled at the grand-stand for the presentation of the medals and cups. That evening there were two CMTC dances, one at the Post Chapel and the other at the Post Hall. Ragsdale, our CMTC sergeant, was given a medal for the best soldier in Company HK . Private Logsdon was also given a medal for making the most progress in the com- pany. VVe thank all our faithful officers for our success. They were very patient with us while we were learning. A ' , SHOOTING STARS The Company 4 C K' ' men were especially noticeable for their neat personal appearance and time rapidity with which they learned to make their bunks. -Corporal Adams was demonstrating the alignment of squads. He pointed out their respective positions and the dutiesof each man. He told one, HYou're the Automatic riflemanng another, '4You,re the jackass of the squadfi The assistant then piped up and asked, H1 don't have to be the assistant jackass too, do I? . ' A Regular told one of the students to go over to one of theisergeants and get T. R. 50-15. The student asked ifhe had to run a 50 yard dash in 15 seconds. Une of the. K Company boys sure has got Valentino beat. The other night .he was talking in his sleep something like this: c'Get away from me girls-one at a time now-don't rush, take your time, you will get a chance. 1 would not tell his name, but the first time you see McAllister get him to tell you about it.
