MY DEAR SANTA CLAUS

Isn't he a darling, Gear? Well, of
all things, the WACS refused to have
Christmas tree in the day room
so Santa could put the presents
there . wonder why? don't know
IWhere they plan for Santa to put
those presents, but that doesn't keep
me from writing him my yearly let
ter here go, girls:
Santa, do remember us this year
as always. Bring us stockings filled
with presents :. bundles of happi-
Saess. Could you possibly bring us
some more ratings, less gigs, and
some "a" passes? To our Com
manding Officer, 1t Irma j. Cay
ton, good health and continued sue
cess -. and, please, dear Santa
Claus, bring those Buffaloes back
safely. Pvt. Hilda De Freeze is
planning to be peering when Santa
comes in, and that 'ain't" right.
GOING TO OCS SCHOOL
Sgt. Georgia T. Minnefield is 60
ing home to Georgia to Officer Can
didate School. She is to report for
her classes on the 28th of Decem-
ber. Her home is in Atlanta, and
we are happy for her.
FURLOUGHS AND STUFF
WACs Ruby Woods, and Lula
White of Pennsylvania, Carmen
Jones, Mammie Berry of Texas, and
>=Lelia Marshall, and Eleanor Bracey
of Ohio are going on furlough. In
fact, they left tbs week. Isn't it
nice to be home so near Christmas?
Eleanor Bracey WILL be back when
her Buffalo boy friend comes off
the field . cutting it short i. :.
@Would you call it love?
RE-ENLISTED WAC
Pvt. zoola Christian . do you
remember her? Well, she's back
with us and we are glad to have her.
She is former honorably discharg-
ed WAC from Huachuca. She thinks
the WAC organization is the best,
after all. Her home is the heavenly
city, Houston, Tex
NEW WAC ARRIVAL
Only last Friday night Pvt. Naomi
Ellis arrived from Fort Des Moines,
Iowa, to make Fort Huachuca her
new home. We will soon be 500
WACs strong here at history max
ing Huachuca, won't we, girls?
HOME WAS FINE
So said the following WACS
who just returned from furlough:
Cpl. Inex Clayton from "oil well"
Kilgore, Tex, and Diane Pendleton,
Virginia. They said they had a fine
time =. almost wanted to stay
home for Christmas, but on think
ing again thought it best to remem-
ber that AWOL and the results.
CONDOLENCES
Our sympathy is extended to Pvts.
Lilly Truly, Mississippi, whose
mother died recently and to Mary
Smith, Washington, DC, who lost
her grandmother.
sInto each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and
dreary."
VISITORS
AS this column was being writ
ten, WAC Olean Edmonson was ex-
pecting as weekend guests her
mother, dad, and brothers. Gee, we
are as anxious for them to arrive as
she is. frankie Ross was eX-
pecting her mother, on her way to
California.
GREETINGS
Now weren't we all glad to see the
charming T/5th Ira Mae Harris
when she returned from the Will
liam Beaumont Hospital in El Paso,
Tex, last week? Ira, you're looking
swell
do YOU KNOW"
The WACs are missing the Buf-
faloes? Just read this: Cpl. Mary
Frances Freeman, Barracks 1866,
missed that Buffalo 100000 much
the other night that she decided to
get out the cherished snapshot to
gaze upon Search as she might,
the picture could not be found. Fin
ally, in desperation, she cried,
"Guess I'll get the negative and look
at it,"
Oh, yes, my number (telephone)
is still 2124, Apache Sentinel Of
flee. How about paging me with
-~Some news? So long and-it's
not too early MERRY CHRIST
MAS!
P.S.-Santa, above all things, the
"Apache Sentinel" office needs a
clock. We never know the time and
