Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Entertained 250 Guests and the Military Band at a Banquet Saturday Night.
Company D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, gave a reception and dance New Year's night for the Twenty-fifth infantry band. About 250 guests were present and joined in the mirth and gayety until midnight, when all sat down to supper, consisting of turkeys, chickens, hams, salads, saratoga chips, ices, cakes, candied fruits, nuts and coffee. Ices and punch were served throughout the evening.
The squad room was prettily decorated with flags and martial pictures, the gun racks shining with glistening steel, but the piece that attracted the greatest attention was a mountain howitzer, wreathed and covered with similax and carnations, that deadly weapon of destruction looking as beautiful and as innocent as a token of peace instead of war.
It was an affair that will long be held in remembrance by those who had the pleasure of attending it.
