This encampment was probably the most dijjtlcult prerequisite for becoming a Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Army Reserve. Only through such sweat and strain, training and discipline, could we materially grasp the knowledge of the duties and hardships which we and those who will follow us must endure to build a successful team for safe- guarding our nation.

From expert riflemen James Teasdale, Jack Enstrom, John Moe, Frank Grispino, Richard Hodges, Robert Lied, Charles Dinde, and Gerald Ploeger, to tough luck poisoned oak Erie Wallden, our pla- toon changed fortyeeight civilians into a perfect machine A-a machine that has produced the capa- bilities of combat veteran Gerald Vincent, softball manager John Swennes, the consistency of golfer Sterino, the serious military attitude of Robert Baker. Many athletes, and many DMS's form our great company. Sitting with the platoon brings out a sense of responsibility, as our future leaders literally absorbed what.it takes to perform as the excellent platoon leaders of the present. ..g..g..g.....g.....g..q-.0-o-oo-fo--o--on -on --o--0--o--Quo-o--0--Q-o-o-4-o-r wwnouo-wwe..-one-one-one-anno-wvww-++++4 J I i I 1 s U 5 F i I 1 V m,.h ff guy tles - A if , M' W3 ,Q C?

Charging at a wild double-time everywhere they went, they soon got the reputation of being the most HR. A. platoon in the company. This unit pride was inspired greatly by Captain Charles Drake of the University of Wisconsin, platoon leader, and Sfc Collie Mat- feld of the University of Kansas, platoon Sgt., but was primarily due to the spirit and interest of its 44 men. Then teamwork was the prime factor in leading them to the top m their tactical problems ac- I cordmg to their tactics mstructors. Four of their number were first strmgers on the Bravo Company, '. Success doe not always belong to those who get the top prize. I They were perhaps not the best 1n the regiment, but it wasn't due to lack of effort to be just that.

We had adopted the motto: The diflicult we do immediately, the impos- sible takes but a little while. Here at Fort Riley, we, the Second Platoon have experienced an entirely new mode of living. We have met the challenge and met it successfully. We arrived boys, but we are leaving men. Day after day, we learned the fundamentals of becoming a good oflicer- more so, we learned how to live, work, and play with a group of total strangers. Teamwork was the key to our success. We molded ourselves into a homogeneous group of proven individuals and have all profited immensely from the experience we havehad being with one another.

'rj il 2 The Fighting Third , as our platoon was' often called, came to Fort Riley fresh out of college for the summer and ready to become seasoned, well-trained soldiers. Since our June 22nd arrival, we have fi' A' 2 come a long way in our training and have learned much. 9 Under the very capable leadership of our cadre officers, Lt Donald R. McMurry and Sfc Valmer . 'Q Stigers, we quickly became one of the leading platoons in our battalion and consequently adopted the ,. A I3 names of Stiger's Tigers and McMurry's Monsters. These names followed us throughout the camp -Q .Q 3 and it was very common to hear a volley of growling every morning as we fell out for reveille. '- ,a Out of our platoon we were able to place four men on the company softball team which finished -Q . l second in the camp softball league. These men were David Kives, Delroy Gess, Jerry Gardiner and 3 Smeltzer. -:Q We proved ourselves very capable on the M-1 range as we had a number of men who came out with expert ratings among whom was Gary Eschman who established the highest score' in the battalion. Q All of us became very good friends in the six weeks of training and are looking forward to meeting 2: l each other in the future as fellow officers in the United States Army. lm 1 ,.

A Company B - 4th Platoon NfNfXfX The Fighting Fourth , better known .as Gunderson's Guerillasv, this 'year had a very Successful and enjoyable summer camp. Representing approximately 40 universities and colleges, the platoon had as its leaders, 2nd Lt. Robert Konovsky, former N.C.A.A. Heavyweight champ from the Big 10 con- ference and now a member of the Chicago -Cardinals pro football team and M!Sgt. Norman Gunderson, a World War II and Korean War veteran now of Chicago. With these men leading the way, it can truthfully be said that the platoon members became a tightly knit and cohesive group, all striving to help each other as best they could. And it paid oiif in the end. After firing the ,best over-all platoon record in the company on the M-1 range, we were later personally complimented by the cadre officers for the excellent way in which we pulled together on our tactics problems in the iield. The Fighting Fourth excelled in other than military subjects also, having sev- eral members on the regimental softball and baseball teams and individual swimming and diving champions. It wasn't all work and no play, however. We'll always remember the mighty song fests during bivouac, playing paratrooper on the convoy trucks, and one individual. from Notre Dame who kept us in hysterics the entire six weeks with his antics Yes, its been a six weeks we'll not soon forget nor will our platoon leader who summed it up by saying, We had an excellent platoon and it was a pleasure to work with the cadets, and I wish each of them good luck and Success in the future.

A leader has the abihty to make decisions and the ab1l1ty to carry them out Wlth these two qualities there must be equally matched K the qual1t1es of perceptlon and compass1on for one s fellow men These s1x Weeks at Fort R1ley have provlded us with a basis for acqmrmg these qualities A mere six weeks, however, cannot breed them to thelr full maturity and this We, the cadets of the 1957 ROTC s camp, realize more than anything. But we do have a foundation for becoming mature and seasoned 5 officers. . Here at Fort Riley We have been subjected to the rigors of military life in the manner of the en- listed man. We have seen that the mllitary IS not an easy life. But for some of us it will be our life. Why? For these reasons: Because of the duty We owe to our country. Because of the pride We take 111 our America, and its Way of life. 1 Because We des1re to perpetuate that Way of life. 1 Because We ourselves Wish to grow in wisdom and stature, and take ar1 active place in the community. . Tlus then, 1S Why We have enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. . . This then, is our pur- , pose for these SIX Weeks at Fort Riley. I - f. V , 1 1 X Q . . Q ' .

E., COLO. STATE By my troth I care not, a man can die but once! This Shakespearean adage could well be used as the motto of the third platoon, Company C. From scattered corners of the 5th Army area came the men of the Dirty Third combined and molded into a group of misplaced civilians with but one purpose in mind -to exist, if possible, through six weeks of summer camp. Exist they did, to a man. Guided along Army pathways by Captain Wheaton and Sfc Kucera,. the men of the third were converted almost overnight from an assorted group of college men into a typical Army R.O.T.C. platoon. Shorty Don McNeill discovered that five day deodorant patches can be utilized to shine boots to perfection, Four-Day Weekend Mathis and Don't Sweat It Manchester solved the problem of tarnished tent poles and canteens - brasso cleaner, Don't Show Me Much Jim Manely and Skinny Ed Prelock found it was easier to make their beds once and sleep on the floor rather than have to make them every morning. Assorted comic relief was provided by Big Bernie Minkow and his troupe. R.O.T.C. camp will long be remembered by each and everyone in the Dirty Third , not so much for the barracks life, chow, field problems, latrine inspections or details, but rather for the tremendous spirit of teamwork exhibited by all therein.

It really helped us too, for few again were the men who d1d not score over 200 pomts on the P.T. test. . . . A desire on the part of each and every cadet 1n the 4th platoon to l1Ve up to the standards expected of them as officers was responsible for our success in the 1957 ROTC Summer Camp. 15:-V. .- , 95:14.-:-: ' ft 1 if.

Our platoon with its H47 statues , as so quaintly put by one of our young troopers conquered all problems and inspections shoulder to shoulder' Since V the day of our arrival here at Custer Hill to the day of our departure unity such as ours has not been equalled. From night patrols to swimming our men kept their heads up and eyes stra1ght.ahead, al ways striving to attain the perfection that our Cadre expected The first platoon proved to be perfectiomsts in athletics as well as soldiermg m that they contrib- uted over -M, of the players on the D Company softball team that Won the American League of the R.O.T C. Camp. The success of our softball team could not have been wlthout the supervision of the Grand Rapids Terror M!Sgt. Meegan. The old Qarge kept the spirit hlgh even when defeat seemed inevitable. Lt. Bracken with his a1r of perfection set the example and saw to lt that all requirements of future leaders were met Many things have happened during our training that will never be forgotten by the platoon The unexpected picture taken on bivouac or the night our platoon had guard duty or even the time a trooper was given a shower on his birthday clothes and all' will stay forever 1n the mlnds of the men of the Grizzly Bear First Platoon of Company D.

Kelly led this platoon of tigers, the third platoon of Delta Company, and they certainly did a fine job. Personnel wise, the Mautz-keteers have a little bit of everything in their ranks, including two of Q the camp's greatest comedians in fast talking Frank The Body O'Brien and Cornell's Preaching Parson , loquacious Larry Lee. 4 There are also other talented leaders among Sgt. Kelly's Killers First to come to mind is the Creighton Comet - General John Patton and his happy-go-lucky sidekick, Wayne Mourer, other- 4 wise known as the Wellington Wonder Then there is Mr. P. J . himself, Jack Payetter and the human compass from Tulsa, Okla., Dave Q Mitch Mitchell. Not to be forgotten is Obie's soft-spoken cubicle mate, John CR.A.J Ogle, a great platoon sergeant who has developed a unique method for dismissing his platoon in record time. G Another platoon asset is the Springfield Rifle Jack Rick, who compiled the outstanding score with the M-1 of 226. The platoon can also boast of one of the friendliest guys around, Ed Miller. Then last, and maybe least, there is the cubicle from which most of the noise in the room origi- 5 nated -that of the fabulous foursome of Marcus, McAllister, Mayberry and Marion. This is only to mention a few of the many outstanding men who make up the Big Third of Q Delta Company. Taking everything into consideration, Captain Mautz's platoon compiled a fine record here at camp and they did it because a fine group of cadets worked together for a job well done. ll!

Nelson W WIS ODonnell, F., DE PAUL, McAlisteri X Company D - 4th Platoon The 4th Platoon of Delta Company was known as the Silent Fourth. This silence, which was the trade mark of the platoon throughout the training period was by no means an indication of weakness, but rather the pillar of it's strength. From the very first Fall In when the die was cast, to the much welcomed and final Platoon Dismissed the platoon was always first. Led by the capable and understanding Captain Johnson and his able assistant, Sgt. Ransome, the platoon was always ready for any task. Memories included Waxler's softball bombers, Bob Urdal's high on the machine gun range and al- ways the spirit of the Fighting Fourth at the end of all problems. Of course, we can't fail to mention R.A. Sprague and Kansas' own defender Mr. Templin . Naturally, the boys from 110 were always alert and ready for action - with the cards, that is. We have covered some of our more outstanding personalities and enumerated a few of our inci- dents at camp, but to neglect the spirit of co-operation which pervaded all we did would be to neglect the most important Virtue of the entire platoon. Ours was a platoon of unity- ours was a fighting and winning team. fu bl. '41 Q I -1 5 A it 1 1 s A - I A 'I ' X.. ' 4 , ' J' ' .'

At that time this had little meaning for these individuals, but at the end of six weeks the men of the 2nd Platoon, E Co., were extremely proud of their unit. . Just as in any group of men who take pride in their organization, the 2nd Platoon set itself apart with a mascot. Thus the well known Mickey Mouse Platoon was born. No other group in E Co. received so much recognition and attention. Under the excellent leadership of Captain Leister and Sgt. Clark the 2nd Platoon became noted for its hard Work and unusually high Esprit de Corps. Our presence was never in doubt. At the end of the hottest days in the Held, the bowed heads of other platoons would raise with a jerk at our ar- rival 1n style, Whether by foot or truck. VVhen the cry Dismissed sounded through the company the thunderous roar that resounded through the still Kansas air could only have come from the Second. S 5 . The .men of the 2nd Platoon Will not soon forget their six Weeks at Fort Riley or the many new 5 friendships they have developed. Hard Work directed by respected leaders created an efficient and Q frictionless group out of dubious strangers. 2 The 2nd Platoon, E Co. didn't boast that they Were the best platoon. It was an accepted fact. ! 5 EHIHOHOHO'Olvvlwivvl-v0000910000-00-vlv+4ukCMMw vQug--g..g..g..g.,,.,...g..g..p.gu.ng.. 0 Of0ulul-vQn0u0aQnQwQ..guQ6.g..gng..q..g..g..g.,. . . .,,.,,.,,',,.,,.,,.n.n.N.u....u Company E - 3d Platoon ,.

Riley is the proud home of Fearless Frank's Fighting Fourth, which gained its dubious de- gree of fame in 1957 Lmder the aid oi Big Red One McGrath. Uporf arrival, we were issued seemingly the dirtiest and oldest M-1 riHes in the United States Army. However, they become progressively better after numerous cleanings. As in any unit, we had our laughs, most of which will not find their way into print. The Fourth even had a platoon queen, Lupe We habitually appeared to have shaved with a broken beer bottle, and found ourselves right at home in the field. When it got too tough for other units, it was much too tough for us. Setting a regimental record, we were able to crowd eleven ponderous seats on one side of a T43!68 Truck, for fear of Lt. Frank's ominous swagger stick applied liberally to the same general area of the anatomy. We had all sorts, an amazing variety, from all over the collegiate map. From this group, able lead- ership fashioned a unit designed to cope with obsolete equipment and Kansas scenery. When it is said that War is Hell, the Fourth can agree. We know, we've tasted it. ., I ik, ,,,,- v ,SAX ,K Y 5 Ei ,. lx . . ' .fm . .yi 4, iv., W i ,. ...R jig' A J.. 11 -A R-.,1l'f, as ' ,S s A-1 f Q I. . TV I I2 ' ,, 1 ,' M .. Q . I f A fl?

Yearbook would certainly not be complete without a detailed narrative of what we humbly think to be the top platoon on Custer Hill. It 1S doubtful if anywhere can there .be found a platoon of more humor and good spirit than the Mild Mannered Men of Company F s third platoon. Led by Lt. John Bethea, the Mild Mannered Men have. gone about their training a serious vein, but have never let a day pass without a few good laughs in the barracks. .It has been this goodwill and spirit which have prompted the many songs heard from our trucks and in our barracks. Special thanks should be paid to Harold Moore for initiating the music and words to our theme song- Way Down In The City . Of course, the golden voices of such men as Keith Martin First Martin, Tom Perry Lynch, Jim Come Back Shane and Ed As I Was Rebholz will never be forgotten. It is really a pity that the names of all 45 of the Mild Mannered could not be mentioned, but certainly, their names will remain forever in the hearts of each of us in Lt. Bethea's Third Platoon. Somediy it is our hope that all the third platoon will be together again Of course we are posi- tixe th it tht. countless friendship which have developed during our brief stay at Fort Riley will be life-long on C. It is further hoped that this training will enable us to reach the high echelons of both military and civilian life expected of us. - 9 it 'tml 'Clif Y .W LX . -x- ,Q 'v- fkiaz fl S . 5 Left to Right-Front Row: Robertson, J., SW MO., Scherer, R., ST.

Riley, Kan. Under the inspiring leadership of Lt. Ginnings and Sgt. Turner, the First sailed to unexcelled heights of achievement. Never before has historic old Fort Riley seen anything like it, Due to the de- termined drive of all the members, the First Was always the last to fall-in in the morning and the first to be dismissed at night. Never did anyone rise when the CO ordered time to get up , and never was anyone in bed when lights out was called. Friendly competition in the platoon was inspired by the weekly Beetle Bailey award, which was presented to the cadet showing the greatest all-round disability. Within the platoon were individuals exhibiting extreme abilities in their respective fields. Among these individuals was a most prominent santitation engineer who designed and built his own latrine, an expert in machine gun emplacement, and an authority on chlorine gas warfare. All in all, summer camp proved an inspiring experience to all who participated, and many a tear Will fall as we leave our home away from home of six Weeks. nQooQooQnO:ofa90:0njul::QuQnQnQooQnQuQoaQooQuQooluQnjuQooQnQuQoaQuQnQuQoaQeojuQnQu'nQ4.Q. silllMOl0OWO0lHOMO0lMO0O0CMOMO0OMO0lOMO0l'0C0'O00ONO'4C0Cul ,... ,., .X ,' I,-'gg' 2 ' S, X lynx J 4. . rl . -. ..,...

In six short weeks the platoon has rolled up a record of accom- plishments envied throughout the regiment. In every phase of tactical training they have received only bests and well done . There were a multitude of experts and sharpshooters o th M- ' ' ' ' n e 1 qualification, and no one failed to qualify. It was no surprise when better than half of the platoon tired possibles in the night firing. There is, of course another side to camp achievement.

X I .M M. gi . -1. ii 5. ' s T' Company G - 3d Platoon Under the cadre leadership of lst Lt Ivan the Terrible Bland, and M!Sgt. Graham The FOX Cockfield, the Third Platoon, Golf Company has not only taken advantage of the academic and train- ing aspects of the six week encampment, but also asorbed and radiated its own concept of military life. Such phrases as wait one , change No. 1,394 , Gentlemen, give me your attention , or the com- mand, Form a cluster of bunches, MINGLEU will undoubtedly compete with the famous truisms of Benjamin Franklin for lasting effect on American literature. The encampment period provided much in the way of material for the creative genius of the 44 cadets in the Absurd Third. Working in conjunction with the cooks of the 4th Bn. kitchen, the platoon displayed its pioneer initiative with the creation of the Army's newest defense weapon, the M63!442-9A anti-personnel pancake. During the bivouac period, the unit lost only one man in battle. In a clod fight skirmish with H Company, one cadet tripped and fell, causing minor injury to his index fingernail. Other than this singular incident, battle losses were held to a minimum in all tactical maneuvers. This fine record must, in part be attributed to the alertness and enthusiastic action of the medics attached to the unit. Perhaps the most outstanding contribution of the third platoon personnel, however, has been in the area of transportation. Their monumental efforts in packing the entire platoon on one truck has con- tributed greatly to the cost consciousnessi' of the Ft. Riley Military Reservation. N ' 3 Qi ft ' . -3 1 ' 1 i .

The Freewheeling First Platoon contributed much toward upholding the standardsof Company H 21S the Ol1fSlZ21I1diI1g C0IT1P-any of the entire R. O. T. C. Regiment. Many were the individuals in the ' platoon. Barbour qualified as an expert with the Ml- Cthe dogface's first lovel with a score of 225. Baugher and Barowin reached the finals of the doubles table tennis tournament and eight members of the platoon played on the two softball teams. Despite its triumphs, the platoon also had its share of minor defeats. Corcoran discovered that beds are not always as strong as they look and Brady found that being run over by an M-48 tank can be a terrifying experience even if the object is to move safely into the escape hatch. Yet, the most frus- trating of all the letdowns was the battle that the platoon lost to the chiggers acquired in the field exercises. All in all however the First Platoon completed summer camp in a highly successful manner Lmder the leadership of Captain Harris and Lt Bennett ably assisted by Sgt Johnson the hero of the mail readers in the entire company that is of course when the Sgt wasn t busy reading pocketbooks Company -2d Platoon f 'fi st 1 JV 5 1 fs 1.

The result nonetheless was a mighty one-the Third Platoon. The city boys lost their lustre, the country boy's bucolic airs van- ished and suddenly, all were cadets. They were all in accord on one thing though, school life Cor any life for that matterj was never like this. Ostrand found out there was a 5 on the alarm clock and Papatheodorou CPapD kept saying some- thing like Greece was never like this . Then there was the community sing around Pawl1ck's bunk and the project of opening Markus' mail or watching O'Malley hanging out his wash each night. These were the everyday things. Occasionally however, Piasecki's nose would get caught in his bunk and Nytes fthe platoon Atlasb would have to extricate him for reveille. No one could forget Metcalfe shaving with his eyes closed almost every day or Nicholas out on bivouac with his electric razor. Of coLu'se, the 3rd Platoon tigers Csometimes toothless after a day in the fieldb always had their Payne , didn't they Ken? Yes sir, they mixed them all together and turned out the best platoon in the best company under The Big Red One CLt Cooley now bows in 2 countsj. All in all, we've come to the conclusion that summer camp was a big ball, only thing is, it had a chain, on it connected around our necks. Today though, it's over and not so bad after all, but the fact remains, we really did go through it. ., LQSXSSRVSXXXXXXSXXXXS RX XXX XXXXXX .QRS XXSSXXSSSSSSSSSSSXS SSSSSSSSSSSSSS P . . 7' .

The Fighting First provided outstand- ing athletic talent in Joe Brown and Roy DeWitz. We also had our own singing jubilee in Ferg Ferguson who finally developed a low tenor voice in Mel Emery.

But for Captain Stringfellow's 43 Rompin hunks of infantry, there was no job too tough, no sacrifice too great. Their esprit de corps was best exem- pliiied by their willingness to perform above and beyond the scheduled 44 hour training week.

There were also less memorable situations: K. P., Bivouao, Double Time, C Rations, White Col- lar Inspections, Reveille, Night Problems, and P. T. Regardless of the tough times, the Singin Second could always be counted on to come through. This spirit was instilled in us by two of our leaders, Captain Stringfellow and Sgt Ball. A typical per- formance of this Spirit was winning the title of Best Platoon when the Second blasted through the Company I Field Day events to best all other platoons. But probably the greatest thrill each cadet experienced was hearing the final Dismissed and the gentle strains of When the sun is on the hillside and the dew is on the grass .

' Then there was George Mesmer from Washington University, St. Louis who had two speeds, slow and stop. He wanted to revise the manuals with such answers as the Platoon heard one night. Our Lt. ordered George to have his squad fire off surplus rounds. That done, George retorted Fire mission completed. ' Our platoon was also inhabited with such personages as Bob Nejedlo from St. Norbert College, Associate Editor of the camp yearbook, Chuck Patrick from Nebraska University, boy radio annolmcer in Beatrice Nebraska, and Hugh Naughton, DePaul University's basketball star. -X ' OXNJNJXX 4 .lvl 5 Z 4 5 5 5 5 Z 4 5 Z 5 Z 4 4 4 4 Z 5 Z 5 5 Z 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Z 5 5 Z 4 5 Z 4 4 4 4 9 V 5 9 s f .

The unit has a very close knit organization in which the members all seem to work untir- ingly to form a better and more respected platoon. The stimulation is provided by two men who might be tough, but who are very highly respected by the platoon members. These two men, Platoon leader, Lt Freeman, and Platoon sergeant, M!Sgt J ewess, turned our 42 college men into a real fighting group and a very proud platoon. However, it was not all work and no play as the members threw a big G. I. party every Friday evening during which every member had the time of his life. We are sure that ' every man will look back on his stay at camp as a tough but enjoyable experience during which he gamed a number of friends many of which w11l be remembered throughout l1fe 5 r a 1 1 i l N R COmPCmY K - 2d Platoon N fri f ei so 'S 5 ,A , 1 Fi 1- fi MM-, mg' Q t H- .l..,,,,.

Forty-three individuals arrived on Custer Hill, 22 June, and a team of forty-three members left 2 August. I On that first day, the men were greeted by a stern leader, lst Lt Everett E. Hooper, and his as- sistant leader-trainer, Sfc Robert Wilson. The forty-three knew from the first what the lieutenant Wanted of them, in a word, perfection, as individuals and as team members. The standards of most rocketed upward. For many this was the first occasion for pride in teamwork such as spit-shining the barracks, or looking sharp on Saturday morning. Hooper's Troopers are proud of many thingsg their leader, the oldest lst Lt in the U. S. Army, has the reputation as the hardest working leader in this campg Their barracks, spotless for a surprise 1USPection by Capt Poole and Col Johnson, are all dressed except that the bulletin board papers are not at dress, right, dress, u - Thelr extremely good night attack which surprised even the Aggressorsg their race victory over the other three platoons of Company K during bivouac Each h h 1es but certaln cadet characterlstlcs stand out The only man elected man as 1S own memor to 21 post was Cadet K1sl1ng log1st1cs officer Glbson was first cadet CO and Cadet Cavdos had his l d b H hb ukelele aggresslve opinions on everything We also had the barbershxp quartet e V ersc ergs The men of the second platoon Company K arrived at Custer Hill as individuals and left as members of a team a team with happy memories EJ 6 kmlsw 2 9 Company K - 3d Platoon NR32823323i8i3282322i32323i823C.X2S23E3i3i!iS322iS 333' i'-eifif'1333S33WS23S3'39'392'2'953S332S239'2'83'359323'3'3 U '.'. 3'9'o' 0.802 E On August 2, 1957, forty-three cadets completed the ROTC Summer Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas. They were the Third Platoon of K Company. Some are now ofiicers in the US Army, some soon will 20 be and others may never be. But regardless of the military future of these forty-three young men who, gi for six weeks, fought The Great Kansas War , each will always value highly the experience of ROTC Summer Camp because this is exactly what the six weeks training amounted to, a total experience in a completely different way of life. A total experience made up of many small experiences. Some were pleasing . . . like the letter after S a day in the field, the bull sessions, the sense of accomplishment after a job well done. Some were not E as pleasant . . . the regular Friday rifle practice',, the heat, dust, and pests in the field, the endless gs polishing, the night of guard duty, and the day of K. P. gg . . . . . . . . 9' With each of these experiences came just a little more confidence and with it more pride in our- if selves and our unit. Perhaps our ranks were not always the straightest, we weren't always in step. Q However, when the situation calls for a leader, as -it sometimes did in this hot Kansas summer at Fort ' Riley, the men of the Third will always stand tall. swam? o38'383'8'3o'3393W5389393898'389'98'35'38289898'3898989898982893'.'9'9'2'3' o o o Q 33a'2'2'9 382898283398'6'898283.g -- -it Q gr. , I 5 -, . .
