Zimmermann is 2nd from left. The caption under this photo in the 1914 "Lucky Bag" read:
Here drawn up, as in review,
You may see it, tried and true,
For we think it's really always in demand;
As, no matter what may chance,
Work or pleasure, drill or dance,
There is nothing quite complete without the band.
