Stripes and Good Conduct Pass Merrick's private's stripes are the centerpiece of this page. A receipt for Merrick's $6 tuition payment for ten days is found at the top left, and next to it is a certificate showing that Merrick had passed his preliminary sighting drill and was "permitted to use the range at Appleton Cabinet." A good conduct pass allowing Merrick to "absent himself from the Limits of Amherst" for a day, a membership card for the College Student Association as well as a couple of business cards and show tickets for the Shubert Theatre round out the page.
