At long last we have learned the delights of inventory control, first encountered at mid-term. The pace quickens as weary classmen are spurred ahead with the end in sight. Most of us just hit "Thirty-seven more days to go--unk!" with more stress, but Tommy Donovan took things in hand by taking Nancy-- the Foreign Resources grader, blond with freckles known previously only to Kallaus and Trudeau out for a whirl at the Totem Pole.

Hoof and Horne

At the RKO we could only pick out a few people who didn't blend completely into the shadows. In the midst of the beblam, rabid fans of Lena's were Bill Harrington and Pete Holm. They have a few things to say consequently which Colonel, James Worsley should hear. The Colonel, besides not relishing the lineup and contact, can't appreciate all forms or art, its seems. If you ask those in the know, he's afraid Cootie Williams boogie would "send" him against his will.

Early Sunday morning Harry Magnuson was reported pacing the corridors of old Chase mumbling in amazement, "She's in love with me, what can I do!" A check-up with Art Marx revealed that sure enough, one of those Rainbow girl acouis (only last week's acquaintance) has entered the picture with Harry.

But headliner of the week was Jeff Hilleran's frantic effort to take off gobs of Don Juan's special mix. Was his face red after ten minutes' work out with a towel. Angle Barsanti was on his trail half the night to warm him but Jeff did an Evangeline on him in the Touraine and eluded Angle by inches.

Ernic Mataset reports that this weekend he had the kind of date we all dream about and seldom realize. Her name is Jane Peterson and she's from Cleveland. Ernie would have been completely lost to us had it not been that he had put the ring on deposit at a local small finance firm for obvious reasons.

From Cleveland also was Nat LaRocca's finance. Nat adds his name to the growing list of prospective grooms, come commissioning day. It doesnt look as if Professor Hanson's shrewd forecast will be far wrong. He knows all the tricks, about any field. Apartment hunters, take note.

At the Totem Pole also were Lenn White and friend waltzing with eyes closed, and with quite a flourish. So much so that Thad Webb reports almost being floored several times as Johann Strauss put Lenn in the groove.

Coming Events

Item 1--The event of the season is approaching. October 7 has been chosen as the date for the finest dance ever held by the Supply School. President Harry Magnuson announces that a portable bar with barkeepers to match has been secured to meet all demands in any quantity this time.

Ruby Newman and the boys will shake the Parker House again with their solid notes and all midshipmen are asked to really get behind the dance and push it to top success. All junior officers are cordially invited to be with us. Treasurer Sam Nikkel has announced that tickets are now on sale at two dollars a couple with a date bureau to be set up soon in connection with the various girl's schools.

Item 2--The Boston College game also on October 7 promises to be a real thriller. Harvard seems primed for something after treating Bates the way they did, and the fellows out at B.C. can be counted on for their traditionally hard game. Plan to take this game in by all means, then join the crowd at the Parker House for a full evening.

Item 3--The changing of the guard is a thing watched with some interest. It's our candid and we hope not inopportune prediction that we'll see Louie Swain as Battalion Commander, Charlie Hebden as sub commander, Bill Harrington as Company 1 commander, and Dave Schneider as Company 2 commander. However, don't blame us if Lieutenant Toune has a different taste in cadence counting.

Item 4--The touch football league awaits only your backing and it will start off. The games will probably have to be played between 1600 and chow time but it's a great game and this is the season. See Charlie Gould or Ken Mills and voice your approval.

This week we ended a very pleasant series of oral reports on American industries. None were disappointing from any angle.

Among the more interesting reports was the one on the aircraft industry--by coincidence in both companies. Under the guise of an "Information, Please" program, Master of Ceremonies Bill Gurganus and committeemen Pete Harris, Bill Harrington, and Sherman Harper gave a memorable performance.

In Company 1, Dick Oster expertly swept the class into the future of air travel and kept it there while George Ottum, Jim Seale, and Sam Nikkel told us of daily transcontinental flights to the West--which was all very gay but rather impractical from a profit and loss standpoint
