A ND, while on the subject of
"A Fort Myer, the pageant
which, as we have said before,
is going to be bigger and better
than ever this year, has caused
one young man to return to the
post. It seems that last year
one Of the enlisted men, a nice
looking youngster named Scott,
was selected to play the part of
Alexander the Great in the
pageant. He played it very well
and looked the part exactly.
Some months after the pag-
cant his term Of service was over
and so he said goodbye and left.
Just recently he returned to
Fort Myer and reenlisted. And
for no other reason, so he admit
ted, than the forthcoming pag-
cant. He simply couldn't have
the pageant come off without
him there to have at least some
part.
