CONTROL BOARD
By T/Sgt. Maxwell Dublin

Christmas celebration at the 93r6 was a festive one. Church services were held in the morning at the 93rd Area Chapel. Dinner was served from 400 to 1900. Officers and enlisted men brought their wives and friends. A good time was had by all. A big bouquet to Cpl. Marvin Agins for the beautiful hol- iday decorations in the Mess Hall Really professional from a real professional! .-...
 "There will never be another Be- ail' is practically on every EMS lips in the North Area. First Ser geant (Barney) Beail is no longer with the 93rd. Everyone had the highest regard and the greatest re- spect for a man that was really TOPS! They all had admiration for him!That paternal feeling-kind- ness, goodness and fair play-was felt by all! He was known as the TOP with the zebra" coat for he had more service stripes and "hash marks" on his sleeve than any other man on the Base! Good Luck at your new post, Sarge! Your thirty years of Army experience will be a great aid in moulding good sol diers of "swell fellows" who WANT to be good soldiers!
 Cpl. George Rugnan took a WAC Corporal Switchboard oper- ator)-five miles out (from the Basel in his car and To and behold motor trouble! They both had to walk back-all the way-and when they landed in JOE'S for a hot cup of coffee, they were stunned to hear Joe say, "What happened? What happened?"
 ENGAGEMENTS: Cpl. Edward Stivers to Miss Florence Godak of Wilkes-Barre, and and Pfc. l.. E.. Sprouse and Miss Alice Kuharski of Hartford.

Pfc. Charles Moore and his wife (who is a nurse in Baltimore, Md.) when they're both on pass-make passes at each other in Brooklyn Flatbush, of all places!
 The reason Cpl. Jeanne Clouthier never has breakfast in the WAC mess hall is because a certain pri- vate is always sending her sand wiches-of CHEESE!
 Officers and EM of the s3rd had it out in basketball at the Base Gym. Of course the EM won by an overwhelming score-we dare not mention it! Most of the Officers had not played basketball for years and years! But It's. James DeitZ H. Philippe, H. Gilbert, R. Thomp- son, E. Reese, H. Miller, J. O'Don- nell and F. J. Catania had their hour of PIT. It. Catania was there in his new Tarzan suit minus the jungle cry.

 Cpls. Charles K. Ridge and Paul Swartz really can't dance! What they did on the dance floor is nameless but full of effort! And you can't blame them for trying with such lovely partners!

FIT. SHERIDAN, nl.-It's easy enough to see why an Infantryman wears crossed rifles on the lapel or why an engineer Jugs a pair of castles around on his chest, but what about the women's head worn by the WACs?
 The WAC is the newest unit in the Army of the United States but the history of the lapeiRinsignia worn by the gals dates all the way back to Greek mythology.
 The goddess mounted on the gol- den disks of the insignia was Pallas Athena, girl with quite a history herself. She was the daughter of Zeus, king of Greek gods. Some wise guy told Zeus that Athena wou d be girl; and since he want ed boy, he took a quick way out and swallowed up his wife, unborn child and all.
 But the other gods disapproved and fixed things up to punish him. Zeus got a terrific headache and called old Vulcan out of the bottom

branches, tough, resisting-and
won. Each now armed with
this aid and weapon felt ready
to deal with an obstacle. After
hiking over several miles of rough
and twisting road we came to q
peaceful picnic spot and fountain.
Here we shed the lunch pack and
disposed of a goodly part of it, ten
tatively mapping our upward course.
Finally, we started The first 80
yards up a seemingly perpendicular
strip was tough going. Each muscle
cried out: Turn back, fool" But
nothing could deter uS-we were not
easily discouraged. Using those
sticks as a stouter third leg we
climbed to a gentler slope for five
minute rest. Looking down, we Won
dered how we had done it. On again
each step upward. There was no
path-no charted course-apparent-
ly no human had ever been among
these dwarf, closely-twining bushes.
Breaking dead twigs, STOPPING,
crawling ever, we found that we
COULD get through-and up. For
more than an hour this went on
some of the less brave wanted to
turn back = blood pounded in the
ears, warning us to take it easier.
Looking up, beautiful copper and
gold transformations rested atop the

this spot as our own.
Remembering JIle taxi-man who
was to return for us, reluctantly we
decide to descend. But how would

there? Oh, we must leave a flag
