Twas a very busy last week" for
most of the SCUers, specially the
WACs with that par-excellent in
Spection down in WACville on We'd
nesday night. I think our CO., 1t
VioleG Askins, was bubbling and
sighing with pride once it was over
-. with celebrities Col. E. N. Ho-
gan, Post Executive officer; Maj
w. K. Stewart, Post Headquarters
commandant, and his assistant
Capt. j. w. Holland, making the in
spection and comment.
The WACs enjoyed and appreci-
ated the after comment, but we
mean to remain "on the ball, be-
cause that will keep away the form
al inspections +. not that we don't
like them occasionally, but they call
for lot of excess policing up and
usurpfng of energy. AS the old say
ing goes, "A stitch in time saves
nine"
The parade and ceremonies on
Saturday were touching as well as
beautiful, and the 'SKIRTS" to the
tune of "hut, 2, 3, ~ always add
quite bit to the parades Yes,
everybody is trying. always, to see
if the enlisted women are out
marching the enlisted men. You
really don't have to guess about it
+. the WACS are naturally in
there"
