We were sitting here reminiscing
on the good old days. when Baker
Post wanted to organize band. If
we remember correctly there were
about twelve men who were to form
the nucleus, Led by the present Com
mander.
After a struggle that is story in
itself, we acquired bass horn, the
rest of the instruments being pos
sessed by the members.
Came the day when they had
enough skill to try marching and
playing. 1t was blamy spring Sun
day afternoon. This hardy twelve go,
out in the street and sounded Off.
1t was a simple and well known
march that marked their initial eff
fort.
Down the Street they went, from
the old Phyllis Wheatley House to-
ward Sixth avenue. They had not
gone hundred feet until someone,
a total stranger came running around
a building with a slide trombone,
picking up the cadence as he came.
This happened all along the march,
diversified instruments being added,
until by the time the boys reached
Sixth and Eyndale, / counted thirty

~ of the

We noted in the last issue of the
Herald the addition of Mr.. Harpole
to the staff.
We must take time out to compli-
ment the management on their
choice, and congratulate the new edi-
tor. =.
We wish to say this to You, Mr..
FIarpoie: 1--WE Of the old Brigade,
salute YOU, the first Of the younger
generation, that might have been one
Of us, had not time and destiny
planned that YOU take ever behind
us. We say that you might well
have been enc eff us, because we
have seen you in your greatest mo-
ments, a patient man and fearless
one. We know that you know how
to keep stiff upper lip, when the
things you wanted most were whirled
in the pool of circumstance, always
just out of reach.
You could not give up, Harpole, be-
cause you just couldn't give up. You
were born with the first lessons in
the school of the soldier, a part Of
your make up.
You knew instinctively that good
soldier can always march one more
mile, can fire one more shot, make
one more thrust with his bayonet.
Those are things that are taught
and drilled: in some men, but pio-
neers have always known them, will
always know them, tho perhaps they
never realize exactly that they do.
So we of the old guard salute you
and bid you Godspeed in your new
venture"
