Haight is an officer of the Eau Claire Company of the Wisconsin State Guard; Bert Jones, a member of the Ecu Claire post of the American Legion. Both understand military training thoroughly, and gave their time freely this year to help college reservists prepare for the different branches of the service. 2. Sergts. Robert Ryan (left), Fred Lindner, Donald Schwartz, and Cloyton Anderson — students here this year — respond to the order to port arms. This group has had more training thon others of the reservists, and therefore helped teach platoons some of the fundamentals of military science. 3. The young men pictured here were members of the reserves the past year and made up the military science class. The reservists were divided into three platoons, led by Sergeants Lindner, Anderson, and Schwortz. The class included members of the Army, the Navy and the Marine Reserves. More than eighty were enrolled. The purpose of the training was to prepare young men for commissions in the respective services when called. The class met once each week for two hours of drill and one hour of lecture. Page Nine
