INCIDENTS OF CAMP LIFE AT CAMP ERNST SHOOTING AND ATHLETICS
At Camp Ernst a rookies initiation backfired as a popular private led a raid test, but the youths turned the tables and tased him under the hydrant. The camp’s shooting was strong despite bad weather with Corporals Roehrborn and Staass posting high scores. Company B Oshkosh won the field meet. Quinn, Leonard Schneller, and Cournoyer posted notable finishes as the Second Regiment band played well for officers and men.
