Co. 20 Remarks of Interest

A few Of the men from Camp Grant
have inquired at the Orderly room as
to the nightingale. Speak up Cpl
Guck If some Of us had that voice
we'd be proud Of IT,
Sgt. Meyers is not anxious to take
part in the singing classes. he believes
in avoiding Z, o%ds during the quaran-
tine, Is that why he chews so many
cigars and smokes so much tobacco.
The boys of Tent are still looking
for the fellow who threw the basin in
the company street at 800 a m
If the boys from Camp Grant can
fight like they can sing" then Good
Night, Germany
Watch them boys from illinois.
And the things that they can do
And I know they'll keep the good work
up,
Till the war and our work is through.
