Incidentally, if you're really "hep" on this "Sunday on a farm" idea. Commander Collins guarantees a quart of beer to every Midshipman who ploughs a row in his one acre victory farm next Sunday. Line forms to the middle, no crowding. please.
Good news for the guys who gave a pint of blood rather than go swimming this week. (Dick Custer fells me it's a lot more fun). As soon as the "ground is dry," we're going to have a complete sports program. So that every man can include in the sport of his own choosing "Momma, mail my riding boots and tennis vacquet. I'm going rowing on the Charles!" ... Athletic gear will be here in short order, so get ready to sign some more charge slips.
If you haven't seen Bob Oakes'' beautiful summer gabardines you just ain't been around. Drop up to bin room any time. He's sure to be trying them on Don't hil me Oaknev, I'm just kiddin Happy Birthday, Hill Slater Glery, can that gal of his bake a cake!
KATY GIBBS DANCE
Just everybody's going to be at the Katy Gibbs dance at Chase tomorrow night. Didja got an invite? Seeya there, mobbe.
We had fun last Sattidy at a cozy party given by the CRIMSON for in "wartime correspondents." Sat in the Sanetum Sanctorum Seat of Honor, and drank gallops of the punchiest punch Snowball over concocted. Parking our coast in the newsroom made us feel right home-sick for Ye Daily News and Yo Columbia Spectator office. Ah, College Days.
Murph is really beginning to see things our way. Only last week she granted a midshipman's request for a finger bowl. Anything else, fellans? Just say the word.
Welcome to Officers
Here's a welcome we forget. Welcome to our new battalion and class officers. They've already began to work on thing's stuff for you and me. And they should receive our full cooperation, because they promise, above all, to remember that they too are just Midshipmen like us'n and will always speak to us like Brudders, only better.
Small Arms?
How about small-arms training for all men? Captain Fox or Carrier X indicated it might come in handy some day.
May we close with one more Welcome? Glad to meet Professor De Haas, the knockout lecture, who really puts his audience in the mood for a helluva good week-end.
