A new organization, Battle Group . . . snow and snow wars . . . fire and the quickest trip back from Florida in Riverside his- tory . . . not even a look at the beach . . . and winter in Georgia. . . . We've occasionally secretly envied those who dropped out in the face of disaster and difficulties, and then felt the glow of righteousness at being able to take it ! Occasionally we've even felt like patting OUrselves 0n the back in pride in our fortitude. . . . Actually we can see things bettei now . . . we,re just a group of men and boys who've managed to stick to the job despite some difficulties and f hardships, and we're richer for the expErie: ew Our effort in this 40th Volume of the BAYOIEJZT has been to provide an account in text picture 5 s, and drawings of the highlights of this year and the - experiences which we've shared - and will continu . e to share, relate, discuss, and remember for man many years to come. y, Without undue self-congratulation, weof the. lSAYONET Staff feel that all may take much pride in being members of this year's Corps, and we ho e our efforts will be helpful as a record of the mag different members of the Corps in shared experi: ences.
