"F* COMPANY OUT TO SHOW "E” HOW IT* S DONE;
Capt*Barnhill1s "F" Co*shootists,who are on the Range
this week in Preliminary Practice work,are hitting the old Bdll with
remarkable frequency,-we didn*t say slinging it-,and a more optimist*
io gang never was seen* Already the most hopeful are threatening to
-show up the Deadeye Dicks of ”E” and Headquarters companies# The in
structors, Sgts.Martin*Hogwood, Behrens, and Schumacher,and Corporals
Manderson, Rogers, and Blake,have given their men the closest attend
tion,and the results of their careful coaching are being seen daily
in the Range work. Capt,Barnhill acheived wonderful marks with his
last class at Fort Liscum,qualifying e^ery man in the class, and
scoring 27 Expert Riflemen out of a total of 34 soldiers who fired
the Record Course# While the Captain is not saying much,it is ev*»
dent that his present company is going to be just as thoroughly in
structed, and some noteworthy marks can confidently be expected from
the "F” Co# shooters# ,:E" and "HQ” nay have done sone nice shooting
here in the past,"says"F","but just watch ”F” show them how the
thing out .to be done,"

BAND SCHOOL TO START ABOUT OCTOBER 10th:
Although the Post Schools are scheduled to begin on
November 1st,one of the courses,the Instrumental Music School,
will start about October 10th« Pvt•Swick,the Band Leader,is on
furlough at the present time,but is due back on the Post on Oct
ober 1st* There’s going to be plenty of chance for new blood to
get into the Fort Seward Military Band this year, as many of the
artists of last year’s organization have gone back to the StateB,
at the expiration of their tour of foreign service.,-and their places
will have to be filled with new talent*
We understand that among the new men on the Post
there are several musicians of note,especially Pvt#Stickney,a
solo cornetist,and many saxaphone and bass players«That*s the
most encouraging thing that we’ve heard in a long time# With the
Band going in good style, we're going to have some real parties h»r$,
at the Fort,for if a man has any music in him at all,Pvt#Swick is
just the gent who can bring it Jfout*,and utilize it in an harmonious
way#
So if you’re musically inclined, and want to be one
of the tooters in this year’s Band,let your First Sergeant ot the
.Chaplain know,and we’ll see if you can’t connect with an instrument
that you may begin to practice on,-right away# There’s only one re
striction that we make,-no 110 pounder can be allowed to play the
big French horn,and a man must weigh less that 200 lbs.to get a
chance at the piccolo.Outside of that,we’re glad to accomodate all
those who are musically ambitious# As t.he distribution of instru
ments will follow the ’’first oorae, first served” rule, we* d advise
you to get in on the ground floor. ”Nuf sed’**.\\
