i ' f Bf6 'STUNT PROGRAM' BY [ BOYS OFJITH rNFftNTRT Series of Athletic and Musical Events Was Preceded by Lesson in French. "Pep" was the keynote of the entertainment which the various companies IT": or tne auin inraniry, u. a. regulara, :ass|v i. furnished Tuesday evening:. ' V w The "stunt" program was preceded S EjL. / by a short but altogether very satisi / factory French lesson, 'conducted by I Professor Upson, of the American Red ? S-1, ' Cross. Mr. Upson is the Camp Greene field director of the Red Cross, and has had much previous experience in teaching French, having been a professor In French in some of the southern universities. He has kindly consented to aid the Y. M. C. A. In every possible way along the educational line, and his services are appreciated very much by the Y. M. C. A. and by the men. > ' The "stunt" program opened wltli a community singing, conducted by Sergeant Borst, of the 30th supply company. Under Sergeant Borst's , leadership, the singing went with a zip and snap that seemed to very 5 nearly lift the roof from its supports. ' - In fact, some of the men claim the v- root was raised at least ten inches, others having the opinion that it was at least fifteen. However, there is nothing official as to the exact distance, but the writer will vouch for -the fact that unless his eyes deceived lltr* - him, the roof at least quivered a few i y times. >*2*! " After the "sing," "Sassi." of Company C, gave his interpretation of some of the Italian classics. He was assisted at the beginning by several [ 2*. * of the boys from Company C, who | jS later deserted their leader and left him to his fate "at the hands of the I i-'- ' angry mob." He, however, proved I equal to the occasion, and his songs "went big" with the audience, i Following Sassi, Silberglat, of Com|f Kgp ?any C, presented a comedy mono1 TStt- logue, giving an Interpretation, of a 1 J Jewish comedian. He had a good I "line," and put it-over in* real prof fesslonal manner. He also sang a .few parodies which were really funny. His ! >' whole act received the hearty response of the men, and he was given a "big1 liy hand" when he finished. it .Tust a word about this side of the "stunt" night program: It is mighty hard to put on a good program with, ' out the co-operation of all the men. Of course, every man cannot be a per. former, but he can aid a great deal by rounding up talent which might be used to advantage. If there is any talent at all In the 30th, which there g cetralnly is, let it be known. Remember that the program Is primarily for; the men, for their entertainment and, amusement, and they should do every ' /?? m I Pied jj|v; Plant and Office at 4 i Wc' MR.

Nuff sod. The athletic part of the program was next In order, and some corking good boxing bouts were put on. The first bout was between Donovan and Schellenberg, of Company K, at 136 pounds. The two men were evenly matched and put up a lively exhlbltlon. t A The second bout was between Silverstein and Manley, of Company E. and both did some very clever boxing. They weighed about 125 pounda The next bout was between Corporal Voipl and Corporal Craig, of Company F. They boxed at 145 pounds, and put on what might be termed the "star" bout of the evening. Both men were very shifty, and had all their blows well-timed. It was a toss-up as to which was the better man, and It would have been worth a man's life to have given a decision other than a draw. Cunningham and Callaghan next boxed at 145 pounds, also. They put up an interesting exhibition. The last, a comedy bout, was the hit of the evening. It was a blindfolded boxing match between Corporal Etter and Burna " It surely was a "scream" to see the many wild swings at' the empty space, at the referee, spectators?-In fact everything and everybody but each other. Several of the spectators haven't gotten over it yet, for as one of the men put it, "t s as funny as a billy goat in a barrel of molasses," which although not exactly clear, we take it is considerably funny. Taking everything Into consideration, the "stunt" program was pretty good, but It can be made better if the men will help out in every way possible. L 1V , We must not overlook the work of Corporal 8mitH at the piano. He sure can make that old piano do stunts, and he is always very willing to play for the entertainment of the men.

CO. L, 50TH INFANTRY, TO FORM BALL TEAM The boys of Company "L," Fiftieth U. S. infantry, recently arrived from the mobilization camp at Syracuse, N. Y., are preparing to organize a baseball club. There are several "old timers" in "L," and the prospects for a first-class nine are exceptionally good. Should you notice any oillcers of "L" company with a weary, scared, woe-begone (or whatchacallit) look upon their faces, be not surprised. They are now obliged to listen to their boys stretch their vocal chords ror a wnoxe nour at a time every now and then. However, there is an expert instructor in charge of the singing, and it will no d.oubt be all right after a few more trials. Private Bene Belmont once had an all-consuming desire to become a mounted orderly. Little did the members of "L" realize that Private Belmont was an artist until his performance at the singing school took place. Corporal Bert Hollers says that after the war is over, he is going to make his home in Charlotte. Sergeant Wilson was giving the-new signal squad the preliminaries in the semaphore code. One man was unable to learn a single signal after what seemed hours of repetition. Much to the sergeant's surprise, he finally discovered that the man could neither read nor write. Needless to say, another man was detailed to take his place. Mess Sergeant Earl L. Hooser was in a very pugnacious mood Wednesday afternoon. The inspector made him move out of the neat little room in the kitchen that he had fixed up for his personal quarters. i' COMPANY Jj, 39TII. While severing some branches from a tree the other day, Private Fuller got his hand mixed up with the limb, and as a result he has been doctoring the hand for the last few days. It Is coming along all right now. .and he will be able to use it again within the next few days. It is reported that the- company is to go to the rifle range sometime during the next ten days. The fellows axe very much more delighted over this, because they are getting a little "rusty" on the target stuff by now. After much policing and many details. the company grounds are getting In good shape now. and the boys a if beginning to fall In love with Camp Greene.
