We plebes were sent to the river a number of times to assist the first classmen to build pontoon bridges, and we rendered very valuable assistance, too, by carrying all heavy timbers used and helping to get the boats in place for the timbers to be laid upon them.
Note 1. Fort Clinton ditch, then along the north side of the camp ground, was filled up and that part of the parapet removed long ago, the major part of this fort being now used for an extension of the camp.
RETURN OF THE FURLOUGH CLASS.
There’s a stir in Camp, as all observers may see,
’Tis a moment of interest, a moment of glee.
The “Furloughs” are coming, and now must be near;
There is dust, there is shouting, the “Furloughs” are here.
We welcome you back to the Camp and the plain,
