On f the making of menus every effort is put forth to ob- I,,j ,w. tain a balanced ration, and, with the marvelous pur- ' Mmmr V 'W' 6 T chasing power of the army, that seventy cents per PORTRAIT OF RED-FACED SUPPLY man per day allowed by regulations may be made to SERGEANT go a long way. Wfhen you came into camp it was the job of one particular officer to see that your uniform, hat and shoes fitted. The shoes were not just what you wanted, for they were given to you somewhat larger to allow for that growth which comes to all rookies' feet. The ofhcer who inspected the fit of your uniform knew his job and few mishts escaped him. When you got back to your company, however, perhaps you felt that the uniform was not just right or that those shoes never could be broken in. You told your company commander about it, and the supply sergeant, in turn, through the Supply Officer for the regiment, exchanged your unsatisfactory equipment. It was he who sent your clothes to the post laundry and saw that you had fresh bedding. Do not blame him too much if you got the other fellow's socks. Delivering laundry for nearly 1400 men is no snap.

ARNOLD, DH, Saxophone HARRY A. LAVVS, JR., UD , Drums STANTON A. MEADS, JR., G , Banjo M U S I C The CMTC was decidedly musical this year and clamored for instruction in every- thing from pianos to harmonicas. The band was with us always at drill, church parade and religious services. VVe remember it, however, chiefly by reason of the stirring music it gave us during the reviews and Escort to the Colors, and with its help we learned to do 1-2-3-47' in proper cadence. 7 At parades the band's favorite selection was that grand French parade march which had its origin during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Sambre et Meuse . This was rendered at every parade. The Gate City Marchi' with its medley of Southern airs was also another favorite. H The band had its little jokes, but the morning the CMTC entrained for home, the joke was on the band, for it had a set program of sentimental tunes appropriate for the oc- casion, ending with Home Sweet Homeu, just as the train pulled out. But this program was rudely interrupted by the sudden stoppings of the train for five or six CMTC students who came running after it, just as during the month the same students came running out to reveille just in time to be counted present. The CMTC orchestra furnished excellent music for the dances and acquitted itself with credit on each occasion of its appearance.
