After the installation of the officers
of the corps, in a few we'll chosen re-
marks Mrs. Englehardt thanked the
ladies for the honors they had given
her, and then turned the chair and
gayel over to Commander Boyington,
who then proceeded to call the very
fine program that the ladies of the W.
R. C. had provided, the first number OF
which was a piano duet by Misses
Edith Sherwood and M. E. Fisk This
was so highly appreciated that they
gave another duet as an encore.
The next was a few remarks by
Commander Boyington given in his
happy manner, after which he called
the next number g The Star Spangled
Banner" which was sung by Mrs. 81.
C. Stafford, of Chicago, in manner
that is seldom equaled never eXcelled.
Commander Boyington then intro
duced Comrade Elliott, who by his few
remarks added much to the patriotic
feeling of the occasion.
Mrs. Stafford, being called, rendered
/" Just Before the Battle Mother" in
way that brought many memories to
the old soldiers present, and brought
Comrade Weissert to his feet, when be
gave few of his many experiences
and recollections of the past, which
was enthusiastically received by those
present.
The next number was Sword of
Bunker Hill" rendered by W. M. P.
Davis. 1t was so enthusiastically re-
ceived by those present that he was
recalled, and gave in his inimitable
style, Schneider and His Band. "
After the program was completed the
ladies of the W. r. C. served an oyster
supper in the dining room. 1t does
not need to be said that the supper
was all right, their reputation for such
affairs being SO we'll established, and
that it was done full justice is borne
out by the fact that Comrade Palmetier
would not let the visiting comrades
depart for their homes, but took them
to his home to care for the rest of the
night, his long service with Comrade
Weissert giving him an accurate know
ledge Of his failings.
| After the supper the comrades re-
turned to the parlor, and while enjoying
smoke, recalled old times and the
many changes since many of them were
| boys at school, which brought out the
fact that Kenosha was the first city in
the northwest to establish the free
school, and that its first principal was
Col. j. G.. McMynn.
This set the boys" to going over
the list of the old teachers who went
into the army from 81 to '65 as COM
missioned officers, and the following
! list was made:
