Probably the most interesting fea-
ture OF the entire program was the

ticularly interesting because II was
a splendid demonstration OF army
efficiency The members OF the com
pany marched down with the tents

shoulders. Each man carried half
tent and a blanket. In an incred-
IDLY short time the tents were eject.

the boys were marching away with
their tents on their backs.
