A social committee is now at work on plans for a tea dance to be held on some Saturday afternoon in the near future for the Army Supply Officers Training School. A committee composed of Lieutenants Chesley R. Johnson, Robert C. Dennison, Ronald J. Smith and Adrian McManus, Jr., announces an expression of unrestrained enthusiasm for the dance from one hundred and five per cent of the student officers. Details for the dance are to be announced this week.

We note with interest that 42 states and the District of Columbia are represented by officers now enrolled in the Army Supply Officers Training School. New York leads with 30 delegates and, as you might guess, Texas with 20 loyal ambassadors is runner-up. Next in order come Ohio with 16, Pennsylvania with 13, Illinois with 12. and California, Connecticut, and Indiana with six apiece to their credit. Mississippi, Delaware, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and New Mexico are the missing links, or is one of the these states being slighted. In passing it looks as if the enrollment includes 41 First Lieutenants, 12 Captains, one Major, and the remainder, you've got it, are Second Lieutenants.

The 1st Platoon of Company "B" defeated the 2nd Platoon Friday in a twilight seven-inning softball game by the score of 9-5. Lt. Ivan Miller tossed for the victors and Lt. Francis T. Sharkey for the opponents. The teams were managed respectively by Lts. Warren F. Millius and Henry N. Schoenfield. Highlighting the game were the frequent altercations that developed between the umpire, Lt. Joe Redding, and Lt. Sharkey pitcher for the 2nd Platoon. Umpire players and spectators were unperturbed by the pitcher's picturesque words and actions, however, for it was common knowledge that Lt. Sharkey at one time in his career was in charge of the press gate at Ebbettis Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. One spectator went so far as to remark that after four years in Flatbush, Lt. Sharkey's mannerisms seemed remarkably mild.
