THE LIEUTENANT COLONEL Colonel Wyant, of our camp, has received diligent and worthy assistance from another capable officer, Lieutenant-Colonel John Mochnick. He has always been ready to advise and help us in any problems that have arisen. We are very grateful for the guidance we have received from him. THE CAPTAINS The appreciation of every Master Sergeant goes to a very deserving group—the instructors of Camp Penn Township. Their patience and guidance have continually aided us in conquering our difficult courses. We give special thanks to those Captains who have gone “beyond the line of duty” and sponsored projects and activities outside of their regular schedule. Row 4-‘ Mr. Hostetler, Mr. Wyant, Mr. Onder.

SPECIALIZED TRAINING Endeavoring to broaden the minds of the enlistees, the officers of Camp Penn Twp. offer specialized training in three different fields—Vocations, Languages and Arts. • Around chow time, the tired and hungry soldiers are attracted by the delicious odors that come from the mess hall. All the recruits, at some time or other, receive instruction under the supervision of Captain Lucille Ross during which they learn the practical skills of washing dishes and cooking. On February 5, the General Staff enjoyed a banquet prepared by Master Sergeants Marie Balcaitis. Freda Hilty, Dorothy Blank, Helen Ocepek, Lois Loughner and others. While other divisions are on maneuvers, the Communications Department, headed by Captain Rudell Permar, is busy typing the orders and relaying them to the Commanding Officers. The highest speed attained by any of the typists is approximately 60 words a minute. In the Foreign Relations Department, a new language, Spanish, taught by Captain Mildred Bogle, has been introduced. Through conversation and discussion, the scholars are gaining facility in this language. Looking forward to postwar days. Master Sergeants Jack Zimmerman, Margaret Maffessanti, Ernest Serbernak, Mary Kazlausky, and Staff Sergeant Fred Martini are planning a trip to South America. Two courses are offered in another foreign language, French, which is particularly interesting to the Staff Sergeants. Rapid progress has been made by Theodore Perich, Esther Stover, Gerald Breakey, Alice Fennell, and Richard Weightman who are pictured enjoying a copy of “Carrefour” which was sent to Captain Evelyn Riggs by a former French student. Both the Spanish and the French Divisions interpret the foreign communiques while the two Latin sections aid the Health Staff. A poster of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, written in Latin, hangs in the Latin office. Captain Veronica Bcrtoline announced that Staff Sergeants June Moore and Jane Lauffer, and Corporals Richard Sauers, Hazel Peters, and Robert Gilbert have attained a high honor rating in this foreign language. Turning our attention to the Arts, we find the U. S. O. has provided varied entertainment for the servicemen. The Dramatic Troupe, supervised by Captain Ruth Peters, presented several plays which were enjoyed immensely and which will always lx remembered. The scene from Dress Rehearsal” shows Chuck (Staff Sergeant Alwine) being praised for knocking out Horace (Master Sergeant DeVal) during a momentary blackout while Bus (Staff Sergeant Yerina) is still bewildered by the unexpected firing of the gun. In Music, the Theory ('lass studies musical arrangements under the tutelage of Captain Jean I eslie who transferred to our camp in January In addition, each Master Sergeant specializes in the study of one instrument: James Kelley, trumpet; William Roscosky,accordion; Arnold Yeske, piano; Clifford Felmlee, trumpet; and William Jewett, the piano. The advertising of recreational activities and the decorating of the U. S. 0. is the responsibility of the Art Staff. They draw (Misters for the War Dinns. Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis campaigns.

All these activities are supervised by Captain Claire Crawford. During the period of training every recruit has an opportunity to profit by instruction in one or more of these specialized fields.
