Army Day, 194!!, began at ‘Z pin. for Oregon students with a patriotic assembly in
McArthur Court (top left hand corner) and was highlighted by a color guard and a
speech by Col. Carlton K. Spencer, assistant state director of selective service. At 4
o'clock; Tuesday, April 6, all men in the enlisted reserve-corps who had arrived on
the campus went back to the court to receive their orders (top middle). Dr. Carl F.
Kossaek, armed services representative, reads off the list as the men receive individ
ual orders from id. Robert (1. Davis (top right). L,t. Davis informs Dick “Birddog”
Whitman (left center) that he and Gordon Gullion are to see that all ERC men are
on the train at the right time. That night the scene was the same but the atmos
phere was somewhat changed by a jumbo rally in the Igloo following a triple snow
ball rally touching all houses and an outdoor celebration on the library lawn. Ted
Loud, yell leader, and -Terry Wolfselir, clown, add to the general confusion (center). Part
of the huge crowd at the rally is shown laughing at their antics (right center). Dr.
Kossack and Lt. Davis are shown mastering a complicated game with a few of the
hoys at the VMCA house in the wee small hours iust before leaving for the station
(lower left). The YMCA served coffee and doughnuts to all men who came in. At the
station (he hoys boarded their special cars and began a half hour of leaning out the
windows shaking hands with all who came by (extreme lower left). Many "goodbyes
were long and serious (bottom photo), but once on the train most of the boys settled
down to enjoy the trip (right). Sequel to the story is toid by a group of ADPis who
must wait on themselves from now on. Their liouseboys were on the train.

Do Their Own Work Now
