3In the Qtuurse of a EBay The morning sun we long to see. But lo! the bugte is sounding reveille. Another day has come: And the boys are coming to rev on the run. Hurry! The lnugle is sounding, FALL IN. One poor rat was late, sure as sin, The roll is called, the companies dismissed, And those who skip are always missed. The bugler is sounding another call. But wait! That is not all, He is sounding still another one. Poor mtg he thinks it's all for fun. What are those calls? He quickly asks the O. D. He gets the answer Get away: don't talk to mef' Beat it, and get in your room: Make up your bed and get your broom: 'Tis time for the major's daily round, And sweep your dirt where it cannot be found. 'Tis eight o'clock, the lnugle sounds MESS CALL, And it sounds good to us all. Breakfast is over in a hurry, And back to the barracks we scurry. Guard mount is sounding fast and clear, And the HO. D. reports on without a fear. Hark! The lvugler is sounding school call, And poor Latin students begin to howl, Now you wouldn't laugh, For we recite three hours and a half. 'Tis one o'clock. and time for MESS CALL, And we are longing to get into that hall,' But dinner is over quick and fast, And Harkins eats until the last. Then we rest until two thirty: Now don't you think its just dirty, That Colonel won't give us another hour of release So that we may smoke our Piedmonts in peace? But my! That time goes fast, And our recreation is past, For school call is sounding throughout the hall: 'Tis time for another roll call. just two hours more of work,

But in them arrest always lurlfs. At four thirty school is o'er. Do not hasten away, for there is yet more, For the bugler is sounding drill, And we have to do it against our wilt. Hey there, 'rat,' get on the run, Put on your accoutrements and graln your gun, For the tactics you have to learn, So you needn't twist and squirm. We have forty long minutes of toil Upon that campus soii. Right oblique and Squads left, Company right and uFull step, Company halt and Right dress. Oh, well! You lfnow the rest. But now a call comes floating to the ear. It malfes us so happy that we forget To the rear And that call, best of all, ls dear old recall, Nothing more to do until mess. Wlio Hhrealfs hounds, it's hard to guess. Ha! The lnugle is sounding mess again. So hurry, it's just five minutes until fall in. 'Tis supper roll call, the seventh of the day, So you see there is no chance to run away. UFarade rest, the captain gives the command. Honoring the Stars and Stripes is every man. Hands clasped, and one foot to the rear, Yet he sheds not a tear, For the hugle is sounding retreat, One call that can't he heat, Old Glory is floating high in the air: There seems to be a murmur everywhere. But she will drop to the ground When the last note of retreat will sound. Oh! 'Tis one beautiful sight To witness retreat at twilight. Supper is o'er in the halt, And the hugle sounds chapel call. After chapel, twenty minutes of play we get, f .find we malfe good use of that, you bet. To quarters the lnugle sounds, and away we go To prepare lessons for tomorrow. Two long hours of study period, Ar the close of which we are weariedp
