of puddles through which to drag the
corporals-wet and muddy puddles.
Yes, they must be muddy. Moreover,
the cadet privates saw to it that the
cadet corporals were clad only in un-

Charles r. Sturgeon - Charlie"
Spurgeon-Jack Pershing's boyhood
friend, who lives In Brookfield, Mo,
told me that several cadets tried to
haze Jack Pershing and that he
knocked the stuffing'' out of all of
them. That story must rest as Char
lie Sturgeon gives it.
Camp ended in September and the
cadets went in barracks and started
their academic year. That is, West
Point is-was, rather-three months OF
camp, nine months of academic work.
BY the time Jack Pershing went back
to barracks he had absorbed that most
important lesson a soldier has to learn
obedience. His battle was half fought

"Pick up those logs of wood, you
Plebes!"
What did it mean? Someone had
thrown matches in the company street.
The Plebes must pick them up. Yes,
most of the police duty fell to the lot
of the Plebes. And the tasks they had
to do for upper classmen. For West
Point, in the days of Jack Pershing,
boasted that English school system of
Tagging" But Plebes later be lord
ly ones?
First guard duty came.
How the Yearlings and the Second
Glass and First Glass men did all
within their power to make guard duty
for Plebes memorable.
A poor Plebe sentry walked his post,
perhaps Jack Pershing. Out Of the
darkness of the night would appear a
number of white wrapped forms-sus-
piciously like cadets with sheets
draped about them.
"Who goes there?" the sentry would
cry.
"A flock of angels" would come the
answer.

Camp lasted until September-camp
with all that the name implied 1t
meant sleeping in the open, drills
never-ending drills guard duty,
swimming, dancing. Oh. the fun of it
and the work of it! The trouble was
then, even rs today, the Plebes were
always the butt of the fun. But Jack
Pershing lived through camp as he
had lived through beast barracks"
Always are Plebes bouyed by the
knowledge that next camp they will
be Yearlings, later Second Glass then
First Class men. And there will be
other Plebes.
Will Jack Pershng ever forget the
first time he heard the order:
Turn out, you Plebes, and chase
those eagleS,"
What did it mean? An unoffending
chipping sparrow had alighted in a
company street, between rows of tents.
Poor sparrow! He was a tresspasser
and must be elected. So the Plebes
chased eagles.
