! The happenings from the famous Fifth
are rather depleted this week due to the
| good fortune Of Corporal Greene In Sc
curing for himself Today furlough to
| visit the land of his dreams, J. O. New
| York. We trust that the corporal comes
back without any bad effects
Something certainly is wrong with Sgt.
Maj. Clodfelter. He was seen smoking
one Of those nasty coffin nails with his
old standby the big black pipe laying on
the table. Naughty! Naughty!
Sergeant Richter, Fifty-fourth Com
pany decided that he was using up too
much shoe leather for the good of the
government and also. for the good Of his
foot, SO he replaced one of his shoes
Tor a nice portion of gunny sackng and
rubber band. You can bet that his foot
and conscience were all rnended when
II came to getting weekend pass, Some
graft, sergeant.
Silver bars are at a premium now as we
are favored with sixteen promotions
among the officers OF this group.
Ask. Sgt, Mai Pierce how he liked the
parade Thursday He says his mount
did not agree with him in all things, es-
pecially automobiles, but at that he could
not outdistance Sgt. Maj. Clodfelter on
the return trip.
Private Monroe thinks that due to war
conditions that his salary should be
raised to at least $50 90 per week Wake
up Hayden. hard times are not over yet
The latest fad in the Fifth Group
Staying in camp over the week end.
The second and third battaIions en-
gagged In bloody battle on the football
field Saturday, p. m. The game was
filled with brilliant features directed to-
ward the referee. The first three quarters
were uneventful no one could register a
score Finally in the fourth quarter, the
third battalion got the command action"
and came forth with a touchdown. Just
as the ball was carried over it was fun
bled and in the grandr ush several great
minds FLASHED and an argument arose
over who had the most hands on the
ball. The third battalion had one man
decision and also the game They could
not see the goal posts 50 they allied to
kick the goal Final score second battal-
ion. one goose egg: third battalion. six
points such is lie in the Fifth group.
Recruits may come; and recruits may
so but the Cadre stays forever"
The Fifty second Company had the last
of the series Of banquets given in the
Fifth Group. II sure was a fine affair
Everything was to be had in the way OF
eats but the place TO eat It, Evidently
everybody knew before hand that IL good
repast was to be obtRiued-at any rate
the late Corners We're sure out of luck as
huge success even to the singing cook"
who gave them music with their meal.
The fair sex were well represented, also
and lent a hand in the dancing which took
place after the banquet Let us know,
Company eFifty two, when you are going
to put out another good time.
Regt. Sgt. Mai. Wright is enjoying a
much needed rest from his regular We'd
nesday night trips to the Lenwood. Never
mind, Harold. peace win soon be yours.
We are minus few generals since the
cavalry sergeants started wearing the
blue. Just ask one ii he wants to go
across!
