They were brave men. They never had their civvies pressed before a bilge, never reported to sick bay Thursday mornings to evade P-work. and never visited the hold Friday evenings for the tree jam. They happily obeyed each of Amonetteis, Bier- bower's or Cecil's commands two steps after the burst of laughter. They never whistled as they passed Barnard on the way to church. never From their vantage points on the lower decks. its members always had a good view of any interesting pedestrians on llfvth Street.

Even on week-ends. its members probably came closer to recapturing the old collegiate atmosphere than those in brother companies. If it will make defeat any sweeter to the enemy. we can warn them now that they neednit be ashamed of being bested by the men of the Fifty-first when it takes the field. For that group is. and always will be. a crack outfit.
