Guy Rowden, who recently returned from St. Johns, Kan., enlisted and was sent as an alternate for one young man who was to have been with the boys, and Albert Porter Dible was transferred to a Pennsylvania local board, he being at Williamsburg, Pa. The citizens of Waynesville gave the boys a royal farewell, serving ice cream and cake to them on the court house lawn Monday afternoon. A great throng of friends and relatives was at the station in Crocker Monday afternoon and saw the boys safely on their way to serve under the Stars and Stripes.
