Thinking cut loud: We haven't
heard from Marjorie Gordon, for
mer WAC switchboard operator, in
a long time, but everyone still asks
when we've heard from her Maybe
one of these days soon we can re-
ply. mot so long ago." . The way
the University of Minnesota is TAX
ing grid beatings from those oppon-
entS that the Golden Gophers used
literally to NOW down just leaves us
heart-broken. If only Bernie Bier
man wasn't in the Navy and all of
those other Minnesota stalwarts
weren't so busy serving their coun-
try-We'd show 'em! We think
Ivory Flemmings looks cute in her
G.I. coveralls = even if her boss
doesn't.
Our apologies to members of the
Station Hospital Swing Band which
won the plaudits and congratuIa-
tions of the officers and ladies of
the Officers Lakeside Mess for hav-
ing the "best orchestra ever to hit
the Post so far" Sgt. Lawrence
Whisonant encouraged the men to
swing out with all of those old IA
vorite waltzes that pleased the
Lakeside dancers so we'll.
When the CrOziers, Bob and john
ny, O4 Vic OuUC1lS1 SIlOD
crew succumb to illness it's lucky
that the very capable WACS Dor
othea Douglas and Kathryn Phil
lips can be on hand to assist with
butcher shop sales. The smil-
ing service of Sylvester Byrd, and
SgtS. Scott and Green also make it
a pleasure to shop in the Commits
Sary.
Lit. Baxter S. Scruggs poses the
question: "Who wrote All roads
lead to Romeo" The answer: La
Fontaine, French poet. The COM
plete quotation: Cali roads lead to
Rome but our antagonists would
have us take other paths" So true
even in 1943! But all roads still
lead to Rome-and after that to
Berlin!
Recently "drafty" wind has been
blowing around Fort Huachuca =
and among those caught >in the
gale" have been Ross Anderson,
handsome elder son of Civilian Per-
Sonnel Branch's Mrs Lenora CAN'T,
and Mr. H. Burton Daniels, member
of the high school faculty at the
Col. Young School. -. Guadlupe
Martin, formerly an employe of
Service Club No. l, is at Arlington,
Calf, and may soon return to Fort
Huachuca all decked out in G.I. =. :.
Lowell "Jody' Jordan, who spent
last summer at the Fort visiting his
father, Capt. Joe Jordan, stopped
over here last weekend while en-
ruote to answering the call of his
Selective Service Board at Bisbee
He and "Lupe" Martin were called
at the same time last August, but
'Jody" missed the bus, arriving too
late to entrain for Arlington and
the Reception Center.

ber of the Col. Young School fac
