The Apache sentinel., 1944-03-17
. NOTES of the
37th Spec. Serv. Co.

Transfers.: This issue finds us
again waving goodbye to a few of
our men, and this time to some of
our favorites. Sgt. Nate FOOTBALL
Johnson and Pfc. Tiny" Roberts
have been transferred to Post Head
quarters, and Cpl Felmon Skip
per" Motley to Special Unit No. 1.
Newcomers: The welcome mat
was laid out recently for the follow
ing requirements in our Company:
Pvts. Jack Smith. projectionist from
Arkadelthia, Ark, Forest Powell,
musician, Los Angeles, Calf, and
Fred Govan, projectionist, Chicago,
Ill. To these men we extend the
glad hand of fellowship, and we
hope their stay with us will be long
and pleasant.
You'll notice quite change in the
37th PIX these days. 1t now has the
appearance of beer garden instead
of a grocery store = soda fountain.
The glad news spread like wildfire
through the company that a crew
of permanent KPS would do the
pot massaging from now on.
Hospital News: Everything was
quiet in the area ON Monday after
noon, March 6, when suddenly some
one yelled, "Hey, friendly" That
was the unmistakable signal that
Geno was back with us; er Pfc.
Steinhardt Murray to you. Yep,
we're glad to have pig" back with
us, and he still thinks he can pitch
horse shoes.
But that's only the good part of
the news. Since you heard from us
last six more of our buddieS have
been laid away in the hospital They
are: Sgt. Edward S. d'Antignac, our
grandiloquent supply sergeant, Cpl.
John Derrick, that suave company
clerk, Cpl. William wild Bilp' Toll
son, librarian, Pics William Rick
er (ever see him dance?), Jimmy
Dednond, and DEWITT White.
While visiting Sgt. William O.
Smith the other day, we were in
formed that he will soon be sent to
Beaumont General Hospital in El
Paso, Tex, for further treatment.
The recent injury suffered by
SfSgt Julius Bugs" Watford turn
ed out to be much more serious than
any of us realized We found him
all wrapped in cast and nursing
a fractured right leg.
Visitors: Mrs. Julia Smith, wife
of Sgt. William O. Smith. has left
Huachuca after a pleasant stay here
with her husband and friends.
Sgt. Edward McCrayer and Cpl.
Alexander Baker are two of the
happiest guys around here right
now, and no wonder Mrs. McCray-
er and Mrs. Baker are on the post,
visitors for few days.
Here and There: Notice that the
Saturday night jam sessions over in
the MET Hall got under way again.
The boys in the PIX think we had
something to do with it, agitating in
our column here. You see, they get
stuck, with the ice water and pop
bottles every time Really, boys, we
are not to blame! Happened
to catch Chauncey "Jody" Lee on
one of his off nights at home at
Guest House No. g.. quite accidental
.ly, too. You should hear him tell of
the old days in show business, of the
Epicure in New York and the other
places and names connected with
the entertainment world, many of
which have long since faded from
the public limelight. -. Cpl.
Sonny johnson is back with us
again, looking cheerful and well aft
er his last emergency furlough. ,. n
The preseason softball battles are
raging fiercely in the 9th. There
seems to be three teams hacking at
each other: One led by Lieut.. Gag
er, another by Fred Brown, and the
othe by Vernon Isaac. -. The pas
time that has really taken the 37th
by storm though is horse shoe pitch
ing. There are SO many guys that
stake some claim to fame in this
game that it's kind Of hard to pick
a winner right off. However, if a
tournament were to be held around
here, they would have to pitch
mighty hard to beat Allen T. Hill
and Jesse Robinson.
