lass 23150 ry fAll ranks conferred upon individuals are merely fictitious.j In September of 1939 one hundred and sixty-four draftees reported for training at the Lewis High Training School. We had as our Commander-in-chief Mr, Phelan assisted by sixteen capable Generals. During our first year of training we had as our advisor Gen. Shorey Qmath.j of the Engineering Corps. assisted by Colonel fclass presidentj Alvin Miller, Major fvice-presidentj Robert Barbier, Captain Qsecretaryj Helen Stuart and Lieutenant Qtreasurerj Dorothy Strong. Our first year of training was rather inactive since most of our time was spent in learning Army regulations and adjusting ourselves to this new life, Yes, we too were called f'rookies by our superiors but we could take it and really enjoyed the first phase of our training. Our superiors believed we were deserving of a furlough and following exams, we were dismissed. September soon arrived and we returned to commence the second part of our training. As Sophomores it was now our turn to tease the newly arrived detachment of Freshmen. We selected as our officers this time Cen. joseph Fontana fbiologyj of the Medical Corps. as advisor while Colonel Alvin Miller once again served as presi- dent, Major Robert Barbier as vice-president, Captain Elaine Moshier as secretary, and Lieutenant Marjorie Keating as treasurer. Dues were set at 3.25 but since our pay was small the collection of dues was not very successful. Our battalion seemed to be still lacking in spirit and there was little excitement during our second year. The time passed rapidly and we soon entered the third phase of our training. Chosen as our leaders for our junior year were Gen. Elizabeth Ryan fHome Eco- nomicsj of the Quartermaster Corps. assisted by Colonel James McNerney, Major William Aduskiewiez, Captain Lila Rizk and Lieutenant Walter Marciniec. During our third year a law was passed increasing our pay which improved the collection of dues. This year noted a change in the cooperation of our battalion- as the Army would say, we were Hon the ballf' It was decided to sponsor a junior Promenade for the purpose of boosting morale. Our Prom. was held Nov. 21 at the local Y.M.C.A. and an enjoyable time was had by all. The results of the dance were encouraging for we not only succeeded in boosting morale but also our financial standing. Also improving our monetary situation was a cake sale. Our group also had the privilege of participating in the annual Junior Recital sponsored by the Alumni. Each member of our battalion composed an original essay on a patriotic subject. The eight essays selected were delivered at an Assembly on April 15 and we realized the talent which was among us. Dorothy Wagenbrenner and Lila Rizk shared the prize for the girls and Walter Marciniec received the award for the boys. Page Ten ' k if c
