Soldiers Do Stunts
Private McLain of company G, Sixth Nebraska infantry, did athletic stunts and corporal Le Roy of company C, Sixth Nebraska, allowed a 100 pound granite rock to be broken on his skull with a sledge hammer, just to show that they needn’t have a bomb proof ready for him in France. His home is in Alliance, Nebraska.
Stunt Nights on Program
A stunt night each week is now on the regular program of the Y.M.C.A., along with three “movie nights,” a religious service night and a language service night and a language class night. Each building will have an open air moving picture show and athletic stage. Only one of these building is completed. – El Paso Herald Newspaper – Thursday, August 23, 1917
