Dear Diary, Come Saturday
night and I was fit as a fiddle
again on account of because my
perfessor lets me sleep in class
all week on account of I look so
tired. So I hops into my convert
ible—that’s short for walking—
and go and pick up my girl Milly.
Milly is the girl I love, and I love
her on account of her left eye
crosses just like my right eye and
when we look at each other, we’re
in perfect focus. Then too, she’s a
uiBiuuer ui a. aisLeriiouu—opposite
of a frat (sexually speaking) —
and going with her kinda makes
me feel like a big shot.
Anyway, me and Hilly decides
to drop down to Lookmour’s for
a few drinks like we do every
Saturday night. Before, we used
to double date with another fel
low and his girl, but he got kicked
out of school for copying his feng
lish out of an encyclopedia,
which is a book which has got all
of the answers in it. But that was
a laugh, cause anyone who knows
anything about getting thru
school knows you got to copy
sometimes from a book which has
got a lot of answers. Anyway,
there wasn’t no one else who
would show his face in the places
we went so me and Milly had to
go alone.
Next, me and Milly decides
we’d kinda like to dance so I
forks over my last four bits—
and Milly forks over hers and
we goes to the Summergarden
where we hear they has a band.
Well, we didn’t find no band but
there was a guy blowing thru a
pipe and a lot of skirts on the
St. Vitus gathered out on the
floor. Socially speakin', it remind
ed me of the box sociables we
used to have back at school, cause
everybody was cutting every
body else’s throat to get the best
dish.
Finally, me and Milly leaves
the Summergarden on account of
the manager who’s so nice and
insistent and on account of the
dance has been over for two hours
already, and I takes Milly back
to her sisterhood. After kissing
her on the forehead—I couldn’t
find her mouth—I leaves her and
goes back to my private apart
ment which I share with my
roommate and six others. But
golly! I can hardly wait ’til next
Saturday nite, cause then me and
Milly are going out to some Dutch
place that they say has a real
floor show and real women!

Daffy-Nitions
Or a Pocket-Guide on Army
Slanguage
The average frosh has as much
trouble understanding military
abbreviations as a G. I. (mod*
ern dough-boy) has in cashing a
personal check. As a part of the
orientation program, we present
these explanations:
AAFTTC in official circles
means Army Air Force Technical
Training Command. All men
wearing the Air Force insignia
here on the campus are in the
AAFTTC. However, they are
commonly referred to as Pre
Mets—Pre-Meteorology students.
The engineers are ASTU men
enrolled in the Army'Specialized
Training Unit. And these rugged
individualists with the bearded
chins and broken accents are
FALS. These letters stand for
Foreign Areal and Language
(NOT for Arabian language as
several people have learned to
the accompaniment of red
cheeks and stammered apolo*
gies.)
