Excerpt from The Arsenal Cannon: January, 1920 On May 22, 1917, the second year of our training, a steel ¿ag-pole, izo ft. High, was erected in honor of the anniversary of the day that the Supreme Court deeded the Arsenal Grounds to the officials for training purposes. Of course, a big celebration was held, as it was the first real pleasure we had had since being in camp. This day was called Supreme Day in honor of the Court's decision. Our next source of enjoyment was the Opening of the Shop Annex on November 4, 1917. This building, by far the best fitted for our training, had been con structed during the semester, But our pride, that year, did not cease tg grow until after the dedication of the Service Flag in December, 1 17. We then entered upon our third year of training, rookies no more, but some of us corporals, a few sergeants, and' the rest well drilled soldiers in educational lines. In May 1918, we were ordered to sell War Savings Stamps. As Americans never fail, the camp went over the top. Then on November 11, 1918, although we had not gone across the water, the Armistice was signed and the war ended. Joy of all joys was this and we had a big review and parade for the people of Indianapolis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
