Wednesday, April 24, 1918 THE BATTALION 11 K KOMPANY BANQUET. Friday night at retreat, Captain Copeland turned his company over to Freshman Clark and this young gentleman immediately showed mili tary genius and capability by march ing the company over to Casey’s w.iere a splendid meal was being served. At his command to “take seats” the members of K Kompany “fell to” with all heartiness. The menu was as follows: Lettuce Pickles Buttered Toast French Fried Potatoes T Bone Steak with Brown Gravy Apple and Mince Pie with Chocolate and Vanilla Cream a la’ mode Water with Crushed Ice Cigars Makings Cigarettes With the cigars came the speeches delivered in order as called upon by Fish Clark, toastmaster. Captain Copeland addressed the assemblage upon the subject of ‘K Kompany’. Lieutenant Sexauer was then called upon and was followed by “Rusty” Warren, commissioned officer of old F-2, the nucleus of the present K company. His speech was mark ed by wonderful delivery and force fulness as well as unusual interest. Major Rose, another invited guest, made a short talk in which he ex pressed his appreciation to the fish and admiration for the entire com pany as a body. Mr. Sam Martin also of old F-2 was then called upon and gave a very interesting speech about the Foreign Legation. The junior officers of the company then made brief talks, Jim Porter, first sergeant, proving what the the boys have strongly suspected all along; that he is the best “top Sergeant” of the regiment, bar none. Fabian made an interesting comparison be tween roommates of fish and Senior Classes respectively; and Derrick probably made the hit of the evening with his beautiful word picture of “Fat” Dykes’ similarity to Venus de Milo! (But Venus was a mile off). Following this, “Queen” William Friend made a speech that should go down in the Morning Report, and Dykes put Jim Ferguson in the shade when it comes to a “come back”. Kye Hall cleared the mystery of the Rose Garden at Hotel Bryan and Hugh Chapella of old F-2 gave a clear, concise, statement as to the most efficient methods of burning barns! “Judge” McKinney and “Hank” Calhoun represented the fish class most efficiently and the dinner was concluded with the melo dious singing of “Sweet Mama” by Mr. R. B. Goodman and a rousing fifteen for the Fish led by Alex Harris. The invited guests were: Major M. A. Rose, Mr. S. W. Martin, Lieut. G. R. Warren, Sgt. Hugh Chapelle, Drum Major Catfish Goodman, and Mr. R. H. Gough. On behalf of the “old boys” we wish to state that this was the best banquet ever and was well managed and directed by Clark and his assist ants, and that the menu was excel lent and deliciously prepared. Thanks to you every one. Fish! May your feed next year be just as good y/hen presented by the class of ’22. ’21 K KOMPANY KLIPP1NGS. “Red” Smythe and “T ” Hall of K Kompany left Friday for' the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Austin. We know these fellows and each one of us is assured no organization will be bdtter represented than our own “Y” here at college and we are es pecially proud of having sent two from this formerly “bad” company. “Rabbi” Bertschler has returned from a three-weeks’ visit to his Mis sissippi home. He is sensitive and we won’t say anything more except we hope his trip was a pleasant one. Since the banquet Friday night there has been considerable illness in K Kompany. We thought that after seven months of Sbisa’s hasfi these fellows would be able to tackle a stew of barb wire and fish hooks with cush ala brass tacks but 12”xl2” T-bones are SO unusual we must not criticise the fellows for weak consti tutions. Did you notice how the tired face of the Inspector brightened up last Wednesday when K Kompany came striding along? He also remarked that K Kompany had the cleanest and neatest barracks. His greatest words of praise did go to the band—but— the Drum Major, Catfish Goodman, is a K Kompany product, so there you are again. K Kompany is al ways ahead! Mr. Malachi Hall of Bryan and Company K brought his little sister (?) out for supper Sunday night. Possibly it was love and possibly was a desire to display the fact that there are good looks in the family! (Note: She was not a blonde!!!) Mr. John S. Calhoun, K Kompany, addressed those present at the ban quet Friday night on the Good Points of Teneha—My Home Town. He says they have beautifully winding rail road tracks there, the curves being so abrupt in places as to be called cor ners and that hinges are necessary on the boilers in order to allow the engines to navigate. Many other points of interest were brought out and he concluded his speech with the remarks that Teneha was an ideal location on the road to turn around at! Public speaking in his senior year will be a crip for Hank. • ’21— TALENTED ONES. I' have heard some songs— I have heard some more— But the like of ‘‘Skinny’s” I ain’t heard before! I’ve heard Hawaians play their Euks- I’ve sen ’em shake their feet— But Cunnigham with the rawhide box Has got the whole bunch beat! I’ve sen Charles Chaplin— I’ve read Bill Nye-— But “Catfish” Goodman Leaves them high and dry! I’ve heard good music— ' Sweet and fine— But from Moss & Moss, “Thank you,” I’ll take mine! —“Rabbi.” ’21 THE EASY CLUB. Fees 5c. Only a Jitney. Sophomore Corporals Attract Much Atten tion. Although holding down a corpor- alship for months some wise cadet showed they were still slimy last Wednesday night by buying pro grams to the show at 5c per. Of course this money was donated to charity and was well appreciated. More members are wanted to make the club a success. One of our rangy instructors wanted to join but his fee was rejected. We move that he be made Honorary Member of the fraternity: I AM EASY. |p HI Ham and Eggs and Pork and Steak, §§| m HI |§§ And best of Coffee, Pies and Cake— PI ||| H! = And every thing that we can do m ||! |l!llllll!ll!l!llll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi To please, is what we offer you. ■lllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH = HI ’Tis pleasing then to hear you say fs| = HI Ip You get the best at New York Cafe.
