 ■THE 1920 EMF- - The high ideals and non-partisan attitude of the organization are and will make it’s attitude of great importance to the welfare of the nation to which it offered all, during the war. A. W. Merriam is now serving his second term as member of the execu- tive committee of the Post. P. J. Reinhart as chairman, ably assisted by F. J. Jutrash and Reimcr from the school made a great success of the entertainment committee, last year, in a short space of time they put over a very successful smoker, dance and several other interesting features'of entertainment. They also laid plans for several other entertainments which will bear fruit in the near future. For the new year many of the students are working for the good of the post on committees and in other ways. F. A. Ericsson, F. J. Jutrash and the other members of the new enter- tainment committee have started off with a rush, pulling off one successful dance, and having arranged for some form of entertainment for nearly every meeting of the Post within a month of entering on the work. They have many enjoyable entertainments in prospect for the coming year. THAT BLOODY WAR “I was a simple country boy And lived out on the farm. I never even killed a flea Or did any body harm. Chorus: That bloody war, That bloody war. One day the sheriff caught me. Says, “Come with me my son: Your Uncle Sammy needs you To help him tote a gun.” He took me to the court house, My brains were in a whirl; And when the doctor passed on me, I wished I’d been a girl. The local board says to us boys “What can you fellows do?” I say.s, “I’ll be the general. If it’s all the same to you?” They took me to-the train next day, The crowd it was immense; I never could get to my girl But I kissed her through the fence. Page Four Hundred Forty-three

 jsr XJKGE Dips.® ElMF Some fellows along with us said, We’ll join the infantree.” I says, My motto’s Safety first, Me for the Q. M. C.” When I first landed at the camp, I certainly did get blue; The sergeant says, Cheer up, old boy, We’ll make a man of you.” When first my captain saw me, He “cursed and cursed” with vim; I guess he thought mv local board Had played a joke on him. They gave to me a khaki suit, Some leggins and some shoes; My captain says, Dress up in these And I will cure your blues.” The straw was full of briers, That was in my sleeping bag; The captain chewed tobacco, Rut the sergeant chewed the rag. They fed me on potatoes And beef three times a day; It must be all the hogs arc dead And the hens they never lay. I asked the corporal of the guard For sugar for my tea; The corporal told the sergeant And they put me on K. P. They punched my arm full of holes, They vaccinated me; I guess it was the thing to do But it didn’t appeal to me. My arm swelled up, my head it ached; I was sick all day and night ; The sergeant says, to see the Doc. And then you’ll be all right. I I soon began to realize What I had got into; And now T know beyond a doubt, What Sherman said is true. Page Pour Hundred Forty-five
