Calculator, one of the institutions of the Infantry School? The dog with thousands of friends? The million other dogs? The mad rush when the billeting oFlice announced that quarters in the frame buildings were available for some of the officers? How hard it was to End the orderly when the bath house was cold and there was no' hot water for bathing? , The vast stretch of undulating prairie that reached from Biglerville to the instruc- tion area, and how glad we were to be picked up by some more fortunate person with an automobile? The fine party given to our class by the members of the Advanced Class? The mess hall at Biglerville where they never served goldfish? The gang around the bulletin board when someone discovered that the standings of an examination were posted? The feeling of gloom that descended over the camp when the Comptroller an- nounced his famous decision regarding rental allowance for the officers with de- pendents? The unofficial class in equitation with Hotspur h'IcGowan as one of the ring- leaders? The Q. BI. Sales Store that was to open when we were in classes and closed promptly when we were off duty? The crickets that ate up so many a nice uniform and ran away with a coat belonging to Virginia Jones? The other cricket that was not on the reservation? Y How promptly some of the lieutenants doubled their bars when they received notice of promotion? The Kiwanis party with its lpossum and ,taters and darkey songs? How the seventh squad of the rifle section continually quarreled? The lockers in which we were expected to store our equipment, but which would hold just about half of what we were issued? And how the sketching kit had to be left outside, because there was no room for it? That famous saying in the midst of a conference: Ten minute break?,' That other one: Are there any questions ? How sleepy everyone was during the hrst conference after lunch? How Singletary would pick up duds and try to take them apart, to the joy of his neighbors?
