REGIMENT '42 We have successfully completed our training course and are now ready to take over our individual commands. A glance over the fort records will remind you of our regi- ment activities. ln 1939, we registered as privates at Fort N. C. H. S. with some hopes and many fears. For our commander, we elected Miss Helen Iacobs, and for officers, we elected Virginia Ann Graham, president: Victor KiKiloler, vice-president: Iames Rubsam, secre- tary: and Billy Ervin, treasurer. At our monthly camp sessions, we were entertained with programs to commemor- ate the special events of the season. The most rousing session of the year was our Christmas celebration. We had a lighted tree in the gymnasium, and after an evening of fun, we gathered around the tree While Santa Claus iClarence Isaac McSwanel dis- tributed gifts. The following year we became corporals and were commanded by Kenneth Iohnson. Our officers were: William Lobmier, presidentp Lon Cleaver, vice-president: and Glenn Bussard, secretary. Our main social activity was a party and scavenger hunt held in February. By the time our third year of training began, we were better adapted to camp life. That year we produced a wonderful banquet. We were assisted by the following offi- cers: Lon Cleaver, president: Ray Weber, vice-president: Irene May, secretary, and Mary lean Warren, treasurer. Miss Bette Lou Bails was our commanding officer. ln this, our last year at Fort N. C. H. S., we chose Delbert Young as our commander. The officers of our company were: Ray Ochs, president: Norma Foltz, vice-president: Lucy Hunzinger, secretary: Lon Cleaver, treasurer. Some of the highlights of the year were: the Senior Carnival, which was a huge suc- cess: the Senior Class Play: and the Basketball Class Tournament. The discipline and training acquired at Fort N. C. H. S. will be of great aid to us as We seek future positions. As We prepare to leave for our individual posts, we wish to express our gratitude to our commanding officers and to the rest of the staff. FIGHT, BOYS. FIGHT! We love America For her freedom and peace. 'Though We're fighting now, Our democracy won't cease! There'll be peace and happiness When the war is o'er, And We'll live afterward As we have before. The days will be brighter As the years roll alongp ln our minds We'll have peace: ln our hearts a song. We'll remember the trials, The triumphs of today: And the laps and the Germans Won't be in our wayl We'll think of the husbands Who died in the din, Of sons, those young boys Who fought bravely to win. But We'll say, lt was worth it Whatever the cost, For we still have America, And our freedom's not lost. So fight on for Victory! Stand up for the right! We are all right behind you, So fight fellows, fight! -Kathleen Curl. Page 29
