19 41 III. SS HISTIJHY By Thelma Roltler On January 28, 1938, we, the class of l9M4-1, marched into Fort William Penn with slightly uncertain steps. In a short time we became acquainted with the other recruits and accli- mated ourselves to our new surroundings. After a few weeks in our training camp, a '4hello party was given for us by the older members of the garrison. After a few months, with firmer steps, we left the camp for our summer furlough, with each recruit having a definite duty and purpose in mind for the coming years. On September 6, 1938, we again entered the Fort for a year which was to prove uneventful in its first half. However, in the latter half, wc joyfully welcomed recruits from smaller camps who joined our ranks. Our regiment held its first meeting, at which time Miss Anne G. Baker and Mr. Arnold were selected as our faculty advisers and George Barton, our commanding officer. After a few months of hard study, we again left camp for the pleasant diversions of our summer furlough. Returning on September 5, 1939, we again selected George Barton to command us. All our interests and efforts were placed in preparing and presenting our Junior Class Play, Bachelor Born, on November 10, 1939, which was one of the most important events of our stay at Camp. A short time later we assisted in making plans for our first class dance which was held in honor of the older comrades. Utilizing our knowledge and experience, our efforts were directed to writing the D. A. R. essay on February 9, which was entitled Ad- vantages of Living in a Democracy. Also, at this time Howland Lutz was chosen to command us, and again we assisted in preparing for our second class dance. The usual enjoyment of the summer months was somewhat saddened by the thought that upon our return to our training camp., our stay would be a short one. We entered the Fort on September 3, 1940, with a determination to make the most of the few remaining months. A class dance was held for us by the younger recruits. Then, with John Walton our leader, our Farewell Program was prepared and presented on January 14 and 15. We, as a class, appeared at our Baccalaureate Sermon on January 19. 'gMagic of Faith, our commencement dramatization, written by a few of our comrades, was presented on January 22 and 23. Each member of the class had an oppor- tunity to participate in the dramatization. Our three-year training period ended, we march forth to face the battles of life. We will realize both victories and defeats, but it is our hope that all the obstacles the future holds will be overcome and that we may have a part in making this a better world in which to live. Marching ever onward with heads high and shoulders back, we bid Fort Williaxii Penn a fond farewell. Twenty-four
