The past week has been one Of
full activity. Every night saw a
special program under way and
with very large attendance con-
sidering the size of our present
attended with very, very enjoyable
music by both the 227th Dance
band and the Post Swing band.
One member of the 372nd was
heard to remark: Man, there must
be something up. There's been a
swell program at this place every
night this week." The Monday
movie, Ladies Courageous" a story
of the WAFS, was really a good
one and quite new, too.
The new U.S.O. Troupe, No. 111-C,
played to more than 800 fellows on
Wednesday night. How many man.
ly bosoms heaved with envy and
longed to again don those sharp
clothes and manneriSms of that lit
tie Jodie who preened and strutted
around to the joy of all. We es-
pecially liked the singing of the
pianist. When the ladies of the
troupe Joined in the dancing on
Tuesday and Friday nights, they
definitely topped all others. Gee!
What thrill. Rug-cutting with a
real chick from New York.
There were two surprise features
for the week: A jam-session and
c0yOT01 cfNn1io1finc hET 0H011I
band and Special Service entertain
erS on Thursday night. The show
began at 8:45 and 1000 fellows fell
into the hilarious mood set by
Emcee DurWood Brent and those
with him. Please-page Pfc. Jodie
Walker, Co. "FD,. The things he
acquired while away in Philadelphia
and Chicago. Even an additional
package of 80 days at hard labor
lovingly rendered by his C. O. has
squelched his ebullience. Twas
wuff it," you say, Jodie. We say,
be sure to include some cayenne
pepper or a cake of CT soap in your
makeup kit, next time. You know
why, too Westray is right. He real
1y is a one-man show. That inno-
cent front sets an audience to rock
ing with merriment.
Surprise number two was Sat
urday Night special. A fast 40 min
uteS of progressive whist and bridge
in which So players participated. 1st
prize: a carton of cigarets were won
by Pvt. Coleman and Pfc. Jodie
Walker, 372nd Infantry. Because Of
the rush to serve the lunch of salad,
coffee and crackers as well as the
zero hour of IL o'clock, the names
O the other winners were not OBJ
tanned. Those pool players who re-
manned during the play-off and a
few curious ones who came in to
see what was going on, were also
served refreshments. A Saturday
night on Post, a delicious lunch and
perfect cup of coffee was the end
of satisfactory evening tho not
a perfect one. Well be doing that
again.
To settle down to an Hour of
Charm" by the 372nd Special Serv-
ice was doubly hard after the Dance

fing up the grade from Fry at the
same time. You know, we ran across
the track and got to demand an
entrance just as Pfc. Charles Ker-
shaw was in the midst of reading.
He is good, too-also impervious to
noises. Just goes right on. We
heard most Of Hello God" and GA
Sergeant Proposes" Staff Sgt.
Horace Higgins, Co G, sang "Say
A Prayer" Cpl. Bob White gave us
I'll Be Seeing You," Pvt. Gordon
Anderson, pianist, not only furnish
ed excellent accompaniments for
the others but played several spec
ial numbers. Included on the pro-
gram were two baritone soloistS
whose names we were unable to Sc
cure.
Ann Jones and the WACs who as
sisted her on the program and as
usheretteS were dinner guests of the
