A council composed Of Soldiers and
WACs has played an important part
in planning activities and calculating
weekly programs of the club. Several
recreationaI activities have been re-
Gently sponsored by this group, in.
cIudng picnics, excursions, horseback
riding and novel parties.
Some of the classes offered by the
USO are Spanish, under the leader
ship of Cpl. George Lockwood and
Sgt. Lewis Whisonant; French in
structed by Cpl. George Moore; typ
ing, Miss Suzy Skinner; shorthand,
Miss DeVerne Lee; bookkeeping, Sgt
Chris Pryor; bridge and pinochle,
Mrs. Alva Bullock; and the crafts
class taught by Miss Marian Wash
ington.
The Camera Club has grown to such
large group we wonder whether we
shall have to make our auditorium
into a dark room. This group under
the leadership of Cpl. Wesley Brown,
and its members has given two fine
exhibitions of the work done during
the year.
The USO Glee Club for a long while
was under the direction of Cpl. Bar
anco of 370th Infantry Miss Suzy
Skinner assisted Cpl. Baranco in pro-
ducing the glee club and the majority
of their musical arrangements We're

outstanding speakers to the club from
neighborng communities.
The Crafts class, under direction of
Miss Marian Washington, assistant
director of the club, has been meet
ing weekly at the Hanna Hall Re-
creation building. This group has
made a number of very lovely articles
and has had such growing popularity
that it is now difficult to keep the
enthusiasts supplied with materials.
Some of the articles made are wal
lets, purses, rugs, jeweIry, photo al
buns and other novelties. Members
of the class include WACs, Post civil

in several phases OF swimming. On
this occasion, USO was present to
donate prizes amounting to $4,000 in
cash and to furnish refreshments for
every onIooker as we'll as each par
ticipant.
Many Army Wives who come to
Huachuca without having made ar
rangements for housing have been
given emergency hospitality at the
tSO. You can imagine the CLEAN in
the eyes of a wife who has travelled
for thousands of miles and has search
ed everywhere for room and then
comes to the USO and Eureka" She
as least has a place to sleep.
The USO is truly "home away
from home" for those wives and moth
ers who are forced to live in con-
gested housing conditions outside Fry
Gate. Many are without cooking and
adequate bathing facilities USO is
certainly a welcome friend. The
kitchen is open for their use and
showers are always available.
Some of the other facilities of the
CSO are a well equipped Library
and writing room, dark room, music
room, craft room, recording machine,
two radios, all types of games and
recreatiOnal activities, outdoor activi-
ties on a very attractive lawn, with
colorful lawn furniture and barbecue
pits. Mailing facilities and club re-
taxation are also furnished. Just ask
for it and Immediately if we don't
have it at the USO, we Will try to
get it.
Publicity for these activities could
never have been possible had it not
been for the fine cooperation Of the
members of the message centers on
the Post and The Apache Sentinel
newspaper. The Apache Sentinel is ac-
claimed by all the readers that we
have distributed it to as one of the
finest Army papers that they have
read. We have a very large mailing
list that covers many states. Included
in the last are supervisors of USO
Clubs all over the country.
We as a USO staff say that there
certainly isn't any Army newspaper
in the country that has biven a USO
Club the publicity that The Apache
Sentinel has.
1t is with regret that this our last
article for such a fine paper must be
written. A paper that is not only in
formative, but prints that type of
material that does SO much to keep
up the morale of our men will be
missed. Many thanks to The Apache
Sentinel Staff for their cooperation.
