Many soldiers who bring their
wives and children unannounced to
Fort Huachuca have found that the
USO Club is friend in need in the
matter of emergency housing.
On some weekends, especially in
holiday seasons, the USO club is
literally turned into a nursery.
Sometimes as many as three Army
wives with children throw them
selves upon the mercy of the staff
after coming to Fry unexpectedly
and finding their husbands unable
to arrange housing elsewhere. Since
the club has no dormitory facilities,

class offered the opportunity to
Army wives to make beautiful gifts

these women spent early December
making fluff rugs which proved to
be excellent presents.
Business Courses Prove Useful
Of considerable practical value to
soldiers and WACs are the classes in
tipping, shorthand, and bookkeeping
taught by Misses Suzy Skinner, De-
Verne Lee, and Sgt. Christopher
Pryor respectively.
The Typing Glass, which meets on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings, is
limited in enrolment because of the
lack of sufficient machines to meet
the demand. The class roster-which
includes soldiers, WACs, and civil
ianS-includes Pvts. Irwin, Cotton,
Galloway, and weaver; Cpls.
Thompson and Truesdell; Sgts.
Robinson, Watson, and Mitcham;
and Mesdames Smith, Peterson,
fluids, and Thompson.
With slight variations, the con-
stituency of the classes in bookkeep-
ing and shorthand is the same as
that of the tipping group.
Camera Club Is Enterprising
The Camera Club, perhaps the
most active hobby group at the USO
Club, is under the Craftsmanship of
Cpl. Wesley Brown, photographer
with the 365th Infantry.

Friday evening, enjoy discussions

TO make each student capable
