Sailors March, Sing Though Away From Home and Friends Singing in the rain-or snow-the sailors here vocalize in all kinds of weather. They sound happy as they march along rhythmically to the song. The sailors are happy even though they are miles, maybe hundreds of miles away from home and friends. They are under strict discipline, apart from family and friends, in a new geographical location, and with the reputation of a uniform. Yet they are singing. The first day of the snow, a group of three sailors met. One said, "How do you like this Michigan weather?" The second inquired, "Does the Minnesota snow suit you?" and the third replied, "Why, this a good old Indiana snow." Men from every part of the country are here in the machinists mates school. Nearly everything in Lawrence is new to them. They have to adjust themselves even more than freshmen do. Yet they can sing.
