Fully expecting a vivid account of exploits far and wide when we made the weekly round, we were met by icy stares and distracted comments instead. The midterms had taken hold.
Radios
Ever since Saturday the majority of us have definitely been carried away, with hopes and fears of D's and Unsat's. The social scene was highlighted by the Ladies Radio Research Laboratory dance at the Arlmont Country Club. The soiree was very much enjoyed by all middies invited. We didn't know technicians could be so human. Red Naddy, John Miller, Rudy Mooller, Al Ogden, Ken Mills and Ray "leather lunged" Wible with his marks and ribbons dominated the scene from the dance floor. Other parts of the Club were too dark for purposes of identification. Besides, we don't carry double indemnity these days.
Sam Lepsio, returning from the town, met Sheldon Lewis on the bridge. Says Sheldon, "I had a dozen Virginia reels out at a barndance this evening." Replied trigger fast Sam, "That's nothing. I had rum cokes all evening at the Merry-go-round."

Tommy Donovan's high-flying Beavers last week took the biggest dive since the Washington Redskins of 1940, as the Browns roared by them into first place on the crest of a five game winning streak. After beating the Dodgers 6 to 3 Wednesday, the Beavers fell apart at the seams Thursday when the Browns clubbed them 19-2, and then on Friday they were the victims of Keith Miller's three-hit pitching as the Tigers, finding a sudden power at the plate, won 14 to 0. Other games in a busy week saw the Tigers nip the Cards 3 to 1 on Al Ogden's daredevil base running, the Dodgers edged the Cards 3 to 2, and the Browns took undisputed possession of first by downing the Dodgers 4 to 1.
