59ih AVN. SQ.Bv CPL. JAMES C. GRAYWell, fellows, a number of you; have just begun reading the column appearing here each week—even if it is a brain-wracking affair. I think more of you should read—no, not necessarily the col-| umn. . . Anything that will give you more. information and a broader view of the things that should be a part of you. As soon as we get our reading room, it will be just all right.The MacDill fellows came over i for a little beating Sunday. . . . Yea, it was a “little” beating: the score, 8 to 7. Such a margin doesn't warrant a worthy mentioning. The boys played a pretty fair game—so the fellows tell me.. . . I’m never the judge. At the next game I hope to be present so that I can see Drew Field give MacDill a decent licking.. So far, we have won only one game—out* of two played. . .‘. Not a bad average, eh?What would you say if you were the iudge of a certain situation? jThey tell me that it is more in the man than it is in the land. What about that, Sgt. Hilton Pruitt? Did you think because another stripe was added to the two .you already, had made any difference to the Senorita? Maybe the comoetition is a. little too strong. What do you think about it? ' You want to say it’s the stripes. We realize that a “buck” Sergeant has it tough when a “Staff” and a “First” once start pounding his trail. I still think it’s more than the stripes.J Pvt. Andrew James, I thought your arm was badly hurt. Or was it your hand? Well, anyway, don’tyou think your - some otherpart of your body will be a bit bbandaged if what I hear is true? rNuff sed.5 Babe Ruth still swings a mighty ibat — reference, Sgt. George Osborne.y Pvt. John Bray non, why don’t ‘you go to town some time? I know The wifey wouldn’t mind. She trusts vou—as though you don’t know that.Take care, beware, the big bad wolf is prowling the streets. You’ll find also the cradles in the street —they are being rocked gently. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. . . . Well, in this case, I don't know so much about the ruling, but the cradles are be-in rocked—call desk.What a grand day Saturday will be. Yes, that is right. It is Hallowe’en. Do you think that will be the real reason for such hanoiness? It’s just fortunate that Hallowe’en falls on such a day. Otherwise it wouldn’t mean a thing. How about that, fellows? Don’t get as broke as I did.See you next week.J-*-11((]i11i}i(i
