3rd COMPANY

Company 3 as You Were XYhat is your ambition Mr. l'linoeh? Hinocll-A- lVell-she's about as cute as eyer liyed-comes to my shouldersa- perhaps a little taller. The day before we go to the range--A Yates helps the cooks make lemonade- XYhy? ? So as he can learn to squeeze the trigger. just like squeezing a lemon. lfilms prepared by the tleneral Silllil-.-kYli5l1lIlgtUI1. Soxlxllsks fin, clzargv of rouzfvuizyD- Keep your eyes to the front. llibas, you are at right dress. Company No. 3 first became popular comment on account of its unequaled mess. liecause of its detailed officers non-coms.. drill was made much easier, and an entirely different attitude toward drill and work was noticeable in the com- pany compared with other companies. Our company commander was Major bl. JX. Hill, XVest l'oint, 'OUQ his assist- ants were Captains Frank X'Yahl and blames l,OLll'lCQ the non-commissioned officers detailed were, lst Sergeant fif'UI'QC Wallace, of the University of West Yirginiag lst Sergeant Mahlon Miller, XfVabash Collegeg Sergeant I-Ieber Davis, University of lllinoisg Corporal George H. Kolb, St. Mary's College. The cadets forming the company were elected representatives from Kemper Military School, XfVestern Military Academy, St. john's Military Academy, Cul- ver Military .Xcademy, and the Milwaukee School of lingineering. lt will always be remembered that on -Iuly l7th the third company battled against the allied -lth, 5th, and 6th companies with a push ball between them. With no allies the third company finally came home victorious with sore shins, torn clothes and loose teeth, pushing their hall. The first organized baseball team was that of Company 3. The first baseball game in the R. O. T. C. camp was between Kalamazoo and the Third Company resulting in a score of 6-3 to our dissatisfaction. liy the chosen few who attend the R. O. T. C. Training camps there is ex- perienced sensations of most every character imaginable. The five senses known to the ordinary human and those experienced by the training camp lizard are about as much alike as Theda Hara and l.ittle liva in comparison. To the embryo officer who finally qualifies, we must admiringly take off our hats, for from early morn to the last faint gurgle of taps he is the victim of the will of hordes of officers, N. C. O.'s and other embryo officers in the making. The contortions of physical drill, that diabolical preciseness required in close order and the crafty skill of invisibility and superhuman effort required by field service regulations together with imagination that would make Monehausen look like liilly Sunday is the cause and effect and no wonder that at the close of the camp there is no longer visible those evidences of camouflage upon God's human architecture which is so markedly discernible upon the ordinary civilian. After all is said and done and as they deport to their various abodes of com- fort and calm we can but feel that they are better men and better citizens and though we would hesitate to openly praise them, we know that our country has won that many more champions of her principles. T. H. VV. They tell us that it's a great life if you don't weaken. llut when you want to weaken the medical cor is says, You're all ri ht march with the mob. 1 I 57
