Interesting to observe: The expressions on 250 happy little faces as the amphib list was announced . . . Most surprised listeners: Bobys, Scarborough, Olcezak . . . Most pleased Bell, Falk, Hughes, et. al. . . .

Sports viewsreel: The new, lengthened gym period has promoted several good basketball games, and in the assorted melees several Company B men have shown flashes of form which indicate considerable experience.

Among the smooth boys we've seen in Section B are: Woody Rider, former Kirksville (Mo.) flash; "Tex" Thomas, Texas U.; D. P. Morrison, Ohio State; Paul (the Great) Smith, Oklahoma whiz; Lynn Keefe, Illinois; and Shuffett, a good man on any team.

Ensign Jones had seen the world

Since his indoctrination.

And now at sea, in the Caribbee,

He manned his battle station.

For comin' in view, bearin' 90 true,

Headin'straight for his position

Was an unknown craft, with heavy draft

Refusin' recognition!

He fussed and fumed at the time consumed

As the flags flew by the score.

But after a look in his o'd notebook,

Said "Bend on Charley notebook Four"!

An inspired hunch, he told his bunch

Of men as they neared Jamaica

Bet my last cont, he's a Harvard gent

He's runnin' up Dog Baker!!!
