With the moon for a spotlight the
various numbers appeared and reappear

the conclusion when the Star Spangled
Banner was played the applause was tre
mendous.
The novelty of staying and seeing some
thing out of the ordinary was a thing
the visitors could not resist and was the
cause of many courtesy cards being taken
up that night from the men who stayed
to the drop of the curtain.
Casey. Bolger and Hundman opened
with some very good numbers and are
known throughout the camp as the kings
of mirth and melody. They strummed
thAir way through to a, successful con

again and again.

times. Special mention is made of Rob

Ben Goldberg recently of the Novelty

character selections and syncopated airs.
Everybody should join the army for

Frank (Jazz) Welch appeared in the

vival of his cartoon dance, and sang "To

formtrly sang In vaudeville (Welch &

HYMEN BELLS CHIME
A HAPPY TIME
TOLD IN RHYME
(By Dave Ruigle, Co. 101, Machine
Gun School)
Last Saturday night, *t\vas August 10th
I was walking through the camp,
And l|famn near to company 101
And I heard a jazz band vamp.
The music attracted attention
In the mess hall of 101.
Why, the folks W'M pushing each
other aside,
To get in and have some fun.
Well, it seems that I always was lucky.
And I soon found myself inside;
l heard the band play the wedcim r
march,
And I saw a groom and a bride,
1 asked some one nto tell me
Who was the lucky man;
He said, "That's him. Corporal Storek
and his bride,"
Why l could see his chest expand
He was proud, just as proud as a roos
ter,
And I didn’t blame him at all.
Then a fellow next me said. "Why
should he he
She's the sweetest girl in the hall.”
I soon got pretty well acquainted? l
And one thing here I must say,
That place was fixed up like Para
dise—
The boys all did it that day.
Well. ,to go on. I soon got a-dancing
With a miss from tnc Blue grass
state;
And I just got to liking her very much
When her dad said "We'll go. girl,
it's late."
.So you see 1 am not so lucky
As 1 mentioned before, I'll avow.
But I like that miss from Kentucky.
And I’d like to be with her now./
And after it all was over
I got one of the boys on the side
And I wrote up the news he gave me
So you'll read it far and wide.
Between each dance there were sing
ers
And they all came from 101,
Ted Kraut ter, the bugler could sing
some.
And a Jigger, Rowantree—some fun—
And Private and Mrs. Johnson.
About them 1 sure must talk,
They did some wonderful dancing.
That came right from old New York;
McGivney—a Scotchman and Jigger,
Had everyone laughing with glee.
And Voegelin sang songs that we all
know
And I joined in the chorus you see.
Bruce Goff had his band of cookies
Working hard that night.
And they sure made some jjood stuff
and plenty.—
Could please any ; ippetito.
Well, to make a long sto-y shorter,
The bride and groom that r.isrtu
Were presented with a gift.—Oh,
It was a pretty sight,
A silver percolator—worked by elec
, trioity.
And tvvas bought for them by all the
boys
Well, we wish them good luck and each
good thing.
That can happen to them through
life,
' And after 1 saw him kiss her by the
door
I wished I could grab me a wife!
[ Now a word about that jazz-band,
I want to tell you true
* While they're playing music
ITI lay a bet to you,
1 That you can't keep your feet still,
‘ They play the tunes just gtand.
. So if you run a rackett
Hire the Camp Jazz Band.
. Company 101 Machine Gun School.
' "Cook got the children interested in
• a v.ar game this morning. She sug
? gested they should play they were in a
j battD and shell their enemies.”
. "Who were their enemies?”
5 "The peas."
