FIRST PLATOON The first platoon will always be remembered for its platoon spirit and its outstanding men. The beginning of the semester found the “old first” bolstered by an influx of “fleet men” who greatly contributed to its fame. Justly proud is the first of L. A. Auton, who served as Regimental Commander for the first formal review of the year, B. W. Allen, Regi- mental C. P. O., and of Kermit Albertson, Regimental Yeoman. Every morning, rain or shine, found Bobo and Brandenberg raising Old Glory. Platoon leaders were |] P. Benson, 1. Hi. Bin eer andwl sallen The “Fighting First” had an outstanding basketball team led by Atkins. Five of the seven scheduled games were won. To the first goes the distinction of ringing up the highest score in any of the intramural games —72 points. The first also claimed the ship-shape appearance of the first deck of Men’s Dormitory as a result of its continued efforts.
