-C.E. Eggleston, who was with the Company A. boys at Camp Cody is
now happy in being able to join the company once more. He was
left behind on account of sickness, but is now on his way east.
-Harold Rigler has been accepted for the aviation mechanics
school at St. Paul, and left yesterday to enter training. Harold
is a fine example of what persistence will do. He tried to get
into the university ambulance corps, but was barred by a slight
obstacle in the physical examination. Other attempts met with
similar result. So now he is overjoyed that he has been accepted
and is on the way to serve his country in the war.
