Not the largest by attendance, but
decidedly the most unique and in
teresting program of the week was
the Illustrated travel-talk given by
Mr.. Chauncey Lee, the special USO
worker assigned to Fort Huachuca,
on Thursday night. To describe it is
imposSible-other than to say that
Mr. Lee presented many pictures
and informative descriptions of the
places he and the USO Camp Shows.
group he managed visited on the
recent trip around the South Amer
ican and African circuit For As
minutes after the program, he was
surrounded by an eager group of
questioners and fellows wanting
closer look at the pictures.
We are very sad at Service Club
Number One Mrs Vivian E. Vincent
gave up the management of the
Service Club Cafeteria, and left the
Post last Friday. We do -niss her
gracious, efficient, and charming
management and presence Army,
the place of constant change, has
brought many strangers together to
do wartime job. From these asso-
Citations many fast friendships have
grown. We will not forget our asso-
citation with Mrs. Vincent.
Remarkable, especially in COM
pariSon with past weeks. There were
really two dances this past week.
Well attended by most of the many
visiting swives on the Post Thank
you, dear ladies'
The Post Special Service enter
tainers took us right up to 10 o'clock
on Wednesday night when they
played "Keep En- Laffin'" to a
packed house. No matter how many
times one sees that group in action,
one is charmed and delighted with
their versatility and ability to al
ways bring freshness of perform
ance. All available space was packed
with shouting and gleeful men. That
full orchestra was a very pleasant
surprise. Now, why can't we SWING
and SWAY to their rhythms?
An embarrassed Babe Wallace is
a novelty. We know you didn't see
the point in interrupting a dance to
talk and sing about army Day
but it had to be done. 1t. Stanfield
took turn at the piano with the
372nd musicians, and delighted the
fellows. They never miss anything.
AS quietly as he slipped onto the
piano bench, he was SPOTTED i'm
mediately by those whose chief de-
light and enjoyment in the dances
IS relaxing under the spell of the
music. Do come again, 1t. Stanfield.
and play for us.
To the 372nd Special Service Off

Many thanks to them. They really
expressed the spirit you've cultivated
IN your set-up. On the job"
When scenery was brought in for
the Hour OF Charm" program, our
hearts began swelling as these
372s are full of surprises. But
leave it to Dramatization Kershaw

seats were filled an hour before pro-
gram time. Pfc. Jessie Harrison
opened the program with a piano
selection, Fantasy Impromptu." by
