19 E THEANTLER 21 FROM “HISTORY OF THE MINNEHAHA CAMP” P. 154—Senior Regiment. IT was the fourth day of September of the year 1917. The call had been issued for volunteers in the army of education. Enlistment was in progress everywhere. One center for enrollment was at our dear M. A. There were many who enlisted here and among these there were about twenty-three who joined the Freshman ranks. Their training was to take four years. Hard was the fight before them. Work was begun at once and continued almost without interruption until the middle of May the following year, when the majority were granted a furlough for the summer. The routine of life was much the same, but many times things out of the ordinary happened. The Government gave a Reception for the Freshman Regiment, a plan which has been followed out every year.

In April our Regiment decided to have a picnic, which was held at Phalen Park, St. Paul. In the spring, also, the M. A. Division had a farewell for our two colonels, Miss Matson and Mr. Olson, who left us at that time. Would that they were still with us! Thus ended the second year, and furloughs were again granted, and promotions to the Junior ranks were given. The Junior year was a busy one, but was enjoyed all the more. The first sham battle, in the form of a debate with the North Park Division, was held in the spring of 1920. The Juniors were honored by having one of their Regiment chosen to fight for our Division. Altho our Division did not gain the victory at this battle, the good training received at PaRe 19
