And NO. SOlQ1er boys SuIcly SCI
that yeIl in good old college style.
Many things have happened since
the first secretarial force of what is
now building No. came on the JOB.
Just after the first quota of selected
men arrived our force also came
along and settled in building No. IL
and stayed on the job there until the
celored troops arrived and they were
then replaced by colored secretaries.
Then they had the pleasure of opening
asecond Y building, now dear old
No. 6.
THE only boys now left OF the orig
inal group are Hal" Fritz and Cliff
Martin. The other boys are all in the
service of their country as enlisted
men. Victor Monninger is at the
Great Lakes naval school, Bob Col
ss::..= s:!:=tcd in the aviation section
and is working for a commission, Will
bar Dawson is here in Funston in the
third O. t C. studying to be an artil-
Iery officer. Mac Remington is doing
the same stunt at Camp Grant, Rock
ford, Ill. Y No. holds the honor of
having the only two secretaries from
camp to make the third o. T. c.
old No. now has a full force of
Secretaries and has just lately really
found itself after being shot to
pieces for several months. Now
watch No go-for they are real
goers Here is the personnel. Let's
set acquainted. Ray S True, our
religious work secretary, is our new
est man on the force but not a new
man at the job. He wants to know
you so make him feel at home.
Wayne Randall the educational sec
rotary, came to No. from No. 2.
He is one of the most wide-awake
educational secretaries of the camp,
and saying that won't make any OF
the other boys sore either. They'll
al admit it. Everyone knows Hal
Fritz the social secretary, and to
Know him means to like him-and
ICES some entertainer, too. You
ought to hear him sing. Roscoe
Graves, our athletic secretary, came
TO us from No. : at Fort Riley and is
tile eldest athletic secretary in point
of service in Camp Funston. He is
an athlete, all around and knows
.J&DW to make others athletic. Schuyler
Garth OH the desk, is an all-arounder
He's TIL kid with an ole head on him
--greets everyone with a smile and
they are at once acquainted. He's a
good card writer, artist, singer, talk
er and what-not. Daddy" Martin
the little big man a. building secre-
fary. is usually on the job, doing what
he can for the comfort of the soldier
boys You can Josh him about his
bald head but don't tell him he's get
ting old for h. ism He's just as
much OF a kid as he ever was and he
enjoys life, too.
The crowds at No. 6 are improving
right along, especially on Mon6ay
nights and entertainment nights but
the biggest crowd yet drawn was on
Tuesday, March 5, when Lieutenant
I5auderbach put on his exhibition OF
hypnotism. The house was packed
and many left because they couldn't
see or hear well. Lieutenant Lauder
bach of the O. M. c. is also the leader
of our main Bible Study class which
meets at the Y every Sunday. But
about the hypnotic stunt You should
zfaye seen it-have seen our boys
catching grasshoppers and butterflies
fighting humble bees, killing rats
fishing, dancing, singing, going buggy
riding with their girls, shaving off g
Beautiful Charlie Chaplin" mus
Stache and dozens of other comica
things that were most highly anus
ing. Lieutenant Lauderbach had six
teen men on the stage but did no
have time to work with all of them
The principal fun makers were Sgt
Nelson of Truck Co. No. BAT, Private:
Robinson, Cherrick and Miller of the
o. NJ. c. All bashful young men of
stage of course but how frivolous OF
the platform. We think that we will
sfiave this repeated very soon as i
was real winner.
