OFFICERS’ PAGE Conducted by Capt. Chas. C. Chandler and Capt. Harry L. Babcock SWAN SONG TWO RETURN OFFICER’S DANCE This communication you may call “My Swan Song,” an appreciation, or a eulogy, upon you. I feel that I cannot help paying some tribute to those who have labored so faith fully and willingly with me, in my work here at this hospital. My my work here at this hospital. My greatest regret in severing relations with military duties, is the fact that I will labor no more with the men I leave behind, nor with those whose departure from this institution, has proceeded mine. To the officers. Captain DeFoe, Cap tain Mitcheil, Lieut. Tedmarsh, Lieut. Monahan, Lieut. Levin, Capt. Fitzger ald and others who have been asso ciated with me for shorter periods, I need only say that they worked’ always hard and efficiently. It is’ now to give a large part of the praise and commendation due them,—to such men as Sgts. Wooiiard, Rose, Wilkin son, North, Cpls. Matthews, McFar- lane, Sheehan, Wilson, Levine, Suli- ivan, Devine, Reno, Gebheart, Stump Wartley, Webb, Warner and to the’ others, I give most sincerely; to to these men, drawn from every walk in life, who have come into the service and adopted themselves, so well, to hospital work, all so very far to their callings. It is to these men, chiefly who have worked with me night and da.y, worked not as if we were “Com missioned officers and enlisted men,” working together, but as “Pals," labor ing side by side, these are the men whom I love most, and'grieve most to leave. My one, my chief and greatest re gret, is that I have not been able to get each and every one the military rank that he deserves. But above all It most certainly is ‘ not rank that counts, it seems to me, but all work, properly and correctly performed, and m the consciencious performance of what ever tasks has been given you to do, I wish to say bidding you fare- Captain AA^illiam W^. Cornog, in charge of the enlisted personnel of the hospital and Captain George Hayes of the medical staff, have re turned to duty here after a few days spent with their families over the yule-tide season. HAPPY DAYS The New Year Eve dance given by the officers of Camp Greene at the Hotel Selwyn, Tuesday night was the most enthusiastic one that has been held in Charlotte this season. The favors were mirth pro- Yoking and numerous, consisting of bells, horns, _ whistles etc, and these aided materially in the farewell to 1918, and the greeting of the New rear. The dance was given under the di rection of Lieut. A1 Whitney, and much credit is due him for its success. The music which was much enjoyed, was rendered by the popular ith' Re cruit Jazz Orchestra. LEAVES GAMP GREENE ROYAL MOMENTS FOR A CER TAIN CORPULANT PARTY well, that I found you all, always ready to do what so ever things you were asked to, faithfully and well The great admiral Nelson before his greatest victory at Trafalgar said to his men, “England expects every man to do his duty,” and may I say to you from my heart that I feel that you’ my comrades have most certainly done yours! We may not all.be heroes, applauded by the throng. Most of us labor, God knows Unnoticed, ^11 day long. ’ Clyde P. Ross, Captain, M. C. Lent, Al. 'Whitney, Q. M.
