Show Rousing Send-off Given Men Leaving for Army Group Comprised of 15 Men Who Will Be Inducted At Ft. Douglas Prof. Earl J. Bleak and his Dixie college band joined the Legionnaires Legion-naires this (Thursday) morning to give the boys going to the training train-ing camps a stirring send-off as they took the bus at 6:40 a.m., for Salt Lake City, where they will report at Ft. Douglas. Included in the group leaving were Barnard Seegmiller, Myles Waldo Romney, Merrill Russell, Benner X. Brinkerhoff, Lester James Carpenter, Walter Jerome Shelley, Kenneth Cody Smith, Harold Edwin Allen and Grant Douglas Johnson, all of St. George; Steve Rouyetz, Enterprise; Lester Adams, Rockville; Donald P. Woodbury, Norman Af ton Bliss and Woodruff Ashton, all of Hurricane; Hur-ricane; and Thomas Featherstone Watson of Santa Clara. The official entertainment for the boys was given in the Recreation Recrea-tion hall Monday evening, with a large assembly attending the program pro-gram and many remaining for the dance which followed. Violet Es-plin Es-plin of the Legion auxiliary was in charge with Commander K. M. Cannon of Lester Keate Post No. 90 introducing the program. A challenging address by Lawrence Wadsworth with an equally appropriate ap-propriate response by Waldo Romney Rom-ney in behalf of the inductees, set the tempo for the entrtainmnt. Community singing led by Vernon Worthen accompanied by Mae A. Pace; three vocal solos by Le-land Le-land Lamoreaux and instrumental - selections by the Woodward high students under Stanley Schmutz made up the balance of the informal in-formal program which preceded the dancing. |
