THE JEFFERSONIAN .3 3, :I HISTORY OF ooMPANY ULN OSCAR SHADID ULU used to be just the last two letters of the name of a very warm place, but now it means an organization of good fellows and champions, both in military science and tactics and athleticsj We have two big silver cups and twenty-four other awards to prove it. The 168 of us in Company L got everything the others did and more, mainly because we werein Company C 'L',. 'We were just as green as any recruit when we started, but we must have had better officers and non-commissioned officers because pretty soon we got some kind words from even First Sergeant Dolen and were picked for important assignments. Captain Murphy was the 'fberries . He knew his stuff and he was always on the job. We never had to suffer for his mistakes. If the captain was the company's daddy, I guess Lieutenant Arnold was its mother. He listened to all of our troubles and helped us when he coultf If there wasnlt anything to be done about it, he wept with us. They had a big job because they had to look after Company L of the Sixth Infantry, our parent company, and act as instructors to three groups of Reserve Officers while they were taking care of us. We had the blue banner for the best policed area hanging at the head of our company street most of the time. Most of us hadnft had much experience picking up match stubs and cigarette butts but we got on to it quickly after we had had a couple of turns of kitchen police. Corporal Messina's squad set the pace for keeping an orderly tent and kept the rating card most of the time, although the rest of us often deserved one also. Sergeant Cupid D. Tomlinson-that's his real name-made a baseball team out of some of our handsomest base runners and they brought home the cup, each of them getting a goldtmedal besides. Here they are: Fred Swan, C. Smith, Voight, Wycoff, Steurnagel, Swartzbaugh, Walder, Wykofka, Braerigam, Stilley, Wilson, and Wittlich. Steuernagel also got the position of third base on the all-Jefferson Barracks team. We had some other prize winners too. C. N. Smith, the student in Company LH, attaining the highest military qualifications during camp, a gold medal, Jean Stephens, second highest, a silver medal, Pearl A. White-he was named for a famous movie female- third highest of the same, a bronze medal, Charles T. Thomas, highest rifle score in Company L , a gold medal, Harold M. Seago, second, a silver medal, Russell E. Spangenburg, third, a bronze medal, Wilbur A. Wright, Company L student showing the greatest improvement during camp, the Civitan medal, C. N. Smith, for military eHiciency, athletics, and company duties, MTCA medal, Jean Stevens, second, R. S. Warnock, best student from Mercer County, Aledo, Ill., Kiwanis club medal, L. C.
