INTRODUCING A NEW BAND

Ladies and gentlemen. Step right

few months old and already perform
ing in public and gaining the applause
and admiration of its audiences. Here
it is! The S55 Infantry band and it's
able leader, Mr.. John Pasztor
Speaking of Mr.. Pastor, his hobby
is the intense study of music and his
weakness is modesty. He is very ex-
acting in his work and the boys are
not allowed to play their parts care
lessly. He makes them work hard
but that makes things interesting It's
true saying that you get out of a
thing just as much as you put into it !;
SO it is with music. The result is the
fellows are constantly practicing to
improve.

hold a regimental spirit, there is
nothing better than band. Our Of
ficers are aware of this and have been
giving the fellows numerous oppor-
tunities to hear their band recently. We
are soon going to spring some sur
prises on them and they will learn to
be proud of their band. 1t takes a
band of gold to unite a man and wife
but it takes a brass band to unite a
regiment.

why is a band?'
Many readers will no doubt be anx-
Ious to learn the solution of this one:
why does the big boob always pick
on the piccolo, and the bantam beat
the bass drum ?"
There are lots of people who have
studied music for many years who
will be relieved to read about this
one: "Why does a blue note?''

THIRD OFFICERS CAMP

for Promotion.

Officers and candidates of the third
officers training camp observed March
2, visitors day by an informal recep-
ton. Quite a number of friends and
relatives took advantage of the OPP
portunity to obtain first hand infor-
nation of the West Point of the
middle west and the barracks and
their immediate vicinity afforded quite
a different view than is ordinarily OBJ
tanned on drill days. Each student
had appointed himself a committee
of one to aid in the dissemination of
information and was ready at all times
to answer queries relative to the art
of war. If visitors did not take home
a vivid vision of a chastened Hohen-
zollern it was thru no fault of our
future Hun numbers.
In the morning a competitive drill
by the infantry companies proved TO
be the main attraction while the snap
and precision displayed by the artil-
,lery battery in it's handling of the
three-inch piece called forth favor
able comment from the spectators.
In the afternoon the visitors were
shown thru the different barracks and
academic buildings of the school The
Terrain board of the artillery. proba-
bly, the most complete and accurate
in the country, became subject or
interest and discussion. TO explain
the essentials of artillery fire, several
problems We're solved for the benefit
of the visitors. Dances were held in
the mess halls and light refreshments
were served by the kitchen stats of
the different units.
SECOND COMPANY o. T. c.
About a thousand guests were
served and entertained during the
day at Company barracks. Com
pany also provided dancing and
refreshments for the visitors. In the
exhibition drill the company was cap
tanned by Harry c. Hawkins, with
Gordon Beck, Jesse c. Turner, G. j.
DeLatell and C. D. johnson as platoon
commanders. The BAL Artillery band
furnished the music for the drill and
the orchestra from the same organiza-
ton the music for the reception and
dance. The cooks and bakers school
furnished and served refreshments.
The serving tables were decorated
with ferns and carnations which con-
traSted pleasant to our Kansas sand
hills. Arrangements for the day were
