Wi REATEST OF BANDS
'sousa, Who Joined Marines When
Small Boy, Now Back in
the Service.
Great Lakes, Ill.-One warm June
afternoon in 1808, a small boy strode
into Washington barracks and an
nounced to the Marine recruiting ofil
cer that he wished to join the service.
"I'm gojng to try my best to be a
drummer boy or else a bugle boy," he
announced. ,I'll work hard to maul
good."
Ile did "make good."
That boy was John Phillip Sousa,
and today his enlistment papers are
treasured in the archives of the Ma
rino Corps.
As the years passed John Phillip
Sousa gained promotion until finally
he was director of the band.
It was not so nmany years ago that
Sousa. master musician, made a tri
umphal tour of the world, playing his
f h o .V
4' }
TJohn Phillip Sousa (Left.)
famou utares In all tie royal courts
of the' world. Everywhere he was
feted and hailed ats tihe world's great
est marchd king.
Tihe y'ears. passed and Sousa retiredi
horn active nssociriti'on with thre Ma
rine band, which lie had developed in
to the greatest military band in the
world.
When this country was plunged into
war Sousa, now prist miiddle age, was
eager to do something for his service.
Capt. William A. MotTett, command
ant of the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing station, Great Lakes, Ill., wished
to have the station bluejacket barnd
developed into the greatest in the
navy. Sousa was enrolled as a lieu
tenant, and musicians throughout the
United States made Great Lakes their
mecca.
Today this band is the largest or
ganizatlon of its kind in the world. s
And Sousa modestly believes that lead
ership of the great band of American
sailor boys is as magniflcent as any
thing else in his career.
