Theii. C.C. EAGLE We were very glad to be able to draw from other camps four soldiers in our third year of training. We were told and made to see that for any army to be best disciplined it must be divided into groups gradually decreasing in size so that every portion must not only be commanded with facility, but clothed, armed, and fed; as a result, we have the following groups whose commanders were conscientiously appointed: Science and History L. M. Russel Mathematics and Science V. L. Jones History and English... F. Hargraves English and French E. P. McCall All the groups were under efficient instructors. We have been so drilled, disciplined, and armed that we formed a vast movable force for offenses and defenses in the battles of life. Xow we have been under training for a long period. We must face life ' s I attics with our banner and faith held high. ( )ur history is not complete, but we have j ust arrived at the place, where our deeds will be of greatest value. We, in the future, will win our most worthy battles.
