sons in this indescribable act OF
vandalism and liberal rewards
ARE today being offered for infor-

rest of the vandals. Some of the
+ tires were cut as many as four
times, and in many cases the tires
f:aS well as the spare were ruined

Other events during the year in
cluded exhibition drills at the
Poolesville high school on Ameri-
canization Day; a part in the pre-
sentation of the flag at the Boy
Scout meeting at Bethesda high,
May A; opening of the soft ball
league at Gaithersburg, May Ia;
and the exhibition drill in Rock
Creek Park, August 20, in connec-
ton with the Farm Bureau picnic.
The annual supper and finals in
the individual bugle and drum con-
test in the Masonic hall, Gathers
burg, on June 8 attracted an i'm
mense crowd, and resulted in
perfect evening except for a terri
fic electrical storm which caused
them to seek shelter in the crowd
ed hall. However, the program was
carried out, with the loving cups
donated by Mayor McBain of
Gaithersburg, and Livingston's of
Washington, being awarded to
Ronald Phoebus, drummer, and M.
l.. Rice, bugler. The presentation
of silk American flag from the
Bethesda Chevy Chase post by
Comrade Jimmy Fitzgerald also
featured on this occasion, with the
response on behalf of the corps by
Stanley Phoebus.
Johnny Stone Day., September
II, stands out in their memory as
the occasion when they were guests
Of the Washington Baseball Club,
at the Griffith Stadium.
In the midst of these thrilling
events, however, the untimely pass
ing of one of their beloved lead
ers, Charles Leslie Ward, gloom
of deep sadness pervaded the en-
tire corps. Being one of the main
organizers and with hardly an alb
sent mark against his record at
any of the colorful events since
it's organization four years ago,
this group of boys and girls looked
upon this leader with so much af-
lection, that as well as others in
timately associated with him, feel
that a gap has been caused by his
passing which never can be filled.
Forming a "guard of honor" at the
last sad rites on Sunday, October
I, this loyal group saw him laid
away and with bowed heads and
silence paid him reverence, while
taps were played by four members
of the corp. Time heals all
wounds, but the memory of a faith
full leader will never fade as long
as single member of this group
survives.
