JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright September morning in 1945, a group of anxious Cadets en- listed at Fort Turtle Lake. In due time we went through the process of initiation and discovered it wasn't too bad. We finished our fir st year with highihopes for the coming years. h After three months' shore leave we returned to Fort Turtle Lake as Petty Officers, Third Class. When roll call had been taken we found our ranks were decreased by three, but later on we were fortunate to gain two new ship- mates. The 50th Battalion returned to the fort to find we had been promoted again to Petty' 0ffiC91'S. Second Class. The 50th Battalion put on a play to raise funds for our Prom. Aunt Susie Shoots the Works, our play, broke all previous records in gross receipts which were Sl76.75. We chose Arnold Peer for commander of our battalion for the night of the prom. We hope we shall be at Fort Turtle next year and that we will be promoted to Petty Officers, First Class Commanding Officers President..............................ArnoldPeer Vice-President . . . . . . . .
