We enjoyed the Smoker given by MEMCompany last ko.iday night.
The Boxing was all that could be expected and the eats were fine.
We can certainly pay high tribute to Company "E"’s cooks.
The incoming of the Hew Year was witnessed with great hilarity
and good fellowship, and we leave it to anyone who has been here
any length of time, if the Hew Year dance wasn’t the best dance ever
given in Chilkoot Barracks. Even better tha*n the dance we gave in
honor of the Senators, on their visit two years ago, and that’ say
ing something.’ Everthing necessary to insure a good time had been
purchased for the occasion. Whistles, horns, noise-makers, confetti,
serpentines etc. was in abundance. Everyone seemed to enjoy them
selves and at times the noise drowned out the music, but that didn’t
matter, everyone felt so good that they just kept going.
We hope to have more dances similar to this one, and next Hew
Year we promise a real dance.
