MEMORY
BY BERTON BRALEY.

The days that used 10 be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty-four
And bacon fifteen cents a pound
In those brave days Of yore.

When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five a week
And when she came, she stayed
But now they are a naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine

And then at noon esign.

eminent to train mechanics. They
teach radio work, carpentry, lineman

felt unusually queer. Ward Walling-
ford is carpenter, Red Meyers and
Speed Murphy are telephone linemen,
Otto Starrett is radio operator and
| am an auto mechanic.
You might think we have an easy
time SO I'll endeavor to explain mat
ters. We arise at 5:45 a. m. and are
busy until s p. m. At 10 p. m. we
have to be in bed We are some times
detailed as table walters and
we serve the boys each meal
for one day. Sometimes we are
police, that means police the grounds
and pick up all paper, cigarette butts
and foreign matter. Again we might
be made guards or orderlies A room
orlerly has to clean all the buildings
on the grounds except school and
shop buildings. With all this we have
to shave once day, battle, sweep our
rooms, make our beds, and do our
washing. | never was so busy in all
my life, and believe me when the cap

jump and do it. It's great life never
