University of Michigan SATC - telephone/telegraph workers

Here we have the University of Michigan Students' Army Training Corps vocational telephone men exhibiting their abilities to climb telephone/telegraph poles -  and have a good time about it.

Michigan's training camp does not seem to have been lacking in funding or leadership, with projects ranging from mechanical training and truck repair to the installation of telephone lines and the digging of a series of full-scale trenches.

I'm not sure if my favorite in this photo is the guy tipping his hat, or the one hanging backwards off the pole.
