In talking with some of the soldiers before the show. Miss Venuta picked up some Army slang. It happened that during the course of the show, some low and admiring whistles started from the rear of the audience and started gaining in power — at which Benay stepped to the front of the stage and told the boys, “Blow it out your barracks bag!” Even she was unprepared for the tumultuous roar of laughter thia sally drew, but the noise finally subsided and the show continued. But what Miss Venuta didn’t know was that, translated loosely,' the phrase means, “That’s a lot of hooey.” (Translated very, very, very loosely that is.) i. other evening I danced with a T/5 and I suppose you’ll think “well if that ain’t a shame in this man’s army” or worse, hut just save your syrup Ed. old @&();)@ this type writer anyhow— The WAACs were at Camp Adair —Lt. Lillian Garrick, accompanied by T/5 Nina M. Keeney, the lady I danced with. I was going to get more of an interview the next day but when I got around to it early next morning the Lt. and the T/5 had gone. Probably I didn’t get up early enough. Anyhow I did learn a few things about Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and also that the SCU 1911 Non-Coms club (I got in on a pass. Who said it can’t happen here?) is a little slippery around the left cor ner but a pretty fine floor if you stick to the middle. ' Furious Weeks How are WAACs accom plished? Well Cpl.

The WAACs, I may say, are proud of their work and their or ganization and hopeful for the 100 per cent success of their important auxiliary function in the Army. Their belief and their recruiting policy is this: That the more tasks they can fulfill and the more men they may release for combat abroad, the sooner their men will whip the axis and come back to them. But what I couldn’t figure Ed. you old @**()??@ (doggone this mill anyhow!) was what they were doing recruiting at Camp Adair. I guess I’ll have to ask 1st Sgt. Jack Vinson of the MPs. Before I had time to finish my questionnaire he had asked T/5 Keeney to dance. Well, what T/5 can resist a top kick? Anyhow, not this one.—T/5. cutaneous fat. New Zealand tree. I 11. Veronica Lake.

One Was a WAAC Dear Editor: I am a T/5 and the 'Gulls, Mountaineers, Geysers Priming for May 31 Contest The Seagulls have been working hard at the Field House getting into shape for the Timber Wolf Division boxing tourney, post poned to start May 31, and the men seem to share a great deal of confidence in their ability. Probably the most feared men on the Seagull squad are Young Henry Miranda and Johnny Fer raro. However, the team as a whole is a very potent outfit. Of Mountaineers The Mountaineers have not had much to say about their chances but on a closer inspection of this team we find some very start ling facts. Alfred Encinas, at 130 lbs. shows great promise of being a winner in the tournament. W’arren Morris, a Michigan man who spends time on his furlough boxing, will un doubtedly give a good account of himself. I Henry Judd, at 135-lbs, crossed a right to the chin of one of his sparring partners and laid him out cold (with 16 oz gloves too). Eppinette Feared Young Willie Eppinette is con sidered by some of the observing Bud Luby of Seagulls, 157-Pound- officers of the Mountaineer Regi er, is a threat in Division tourney ment as the finest prospect of all. to start May 31, at Field House. Wayne Seibert, at 168 lbs, is a dark horse considering the fact that he never had a glove on before coming to Camp Adair. Otherwise Coach Lt. Marty Krpan has little to say which is a bad omen for the rivals of the Mountaineers. The Geysers have been so quiet about their team that both the Sea gulls and the Mountaineers are try ing to scout them for information. It looks like a great tournament. Everyone is invited. So turn out and give your teams a hearty back ing. ——----------------- • CAFETERIAS PATRONIZE YOUR SERVICE CLUB CAFETERIAS!
