COIPANY "F" HEWS.
pfc. Lavender relieved Pfc. Henderson as company bugler last
week.
What promises to be a great event in Company "F" is the In-Door
Field Feet to be held in the E. & R. Hall some time this month.
There will be many features and an old fashioned pie-eating
contest is scheduled,as well as several boxing bouts and singing
matches. The Company has been fortunately lucky recently in ad
ding to its membership several singers of note and ability who
will entertain us with their fine voices during the Field keet.
We are taking weekly marches every Wednesday morning which
are proving very valuable and helps to keep the personnel of the
Company in fine shape physically as well as to teach the new men
how to march and take care of themselves in the field.
Everybody is taking some kind of exams this month and an out
sider not knowing this was a military Company would naturally
take us for college men getting ready to graduate.
Overheard in the Day Room: "How many skins did you get on your
final exarnination?” "Who, me? I got skinned".
Occasionally we receive a letter from an ex-member of the Com
pany who is now bus#- in civilian life, and all seem to be getting
along fine, and we are glad to know the training they received in
this Company has helped them in their civilian pursuits, but many
q-f them express a desire to get back with the old crowd and enjoy
Army life once again free from care.
