Owing to the recent physical exami-
nations Battery B was left without a
bugler. II had to rely on the musicians
of the other organizations to tell its

eyes of the battcrYmtn light with en-
pectation. hoping he could blow a bugle.
But alas. none of the rockies was
able to toot.
But an idea occurred to q bright men,
