“Little Boy” Mitchell, the 235-
pound, G foot, 3 inch cook, re-
turned to us this week. He has
been spending his time at the
Cooks and Bakers School. What
he has in mind to do in the
kitchen still remains to be seen.
A certain 1/Sgt. is tripping
around with a “baby pink” in-
signia on his field jacket. It’s
such a nice pastel shade.
T/5 Frank Schmehl.
The barber had a serious prob-
lem a few days ago when Sgt.
Sidney N. Cole stepped into the
barber chair. Sgt. Cole asked for
a regulation hair cut. With only
three hairs on Cole’s head, the
barber finally decided he would
cut one hair completely off, leav-
ing one hair on each side of
Cole’s shining skull.
T/5 James C. Wingo.
Taking a cue from GI’s who have the pin-up craze, the Am-
erican Society of Magazine Cartoonists has chosen a pin-up girl
of its own. She is Jane Kean, here being sketched by Ponce
de Leon.
Sgt. Shumata, who talks in his
sleep about a local girl, has let
the boys in on a lot of his do-
ings while on pass. Now he
wonders what’s so funny. His
friends are always laughing.
Sgt. Sizemore.
A certain dispatcher from our
organization called the 1/Sgt.
and asked him for a ton-and-
a-half truck with a ton-artd-a-
half driver. “Well,” replied the
top-kick, “I can let you have the
truck, but I’m afraid a driver
with those specifications will be
hard to find, especially since
Pvt. Swaney is on a diet.”
The Motor Sgt. was showing
a new Sgt. around the garage the
other day when the new Sgt.
exclaimed, “I don’t know why
the CO appointed me to act as
new Motor Sgt. I don’t know a
thing about motors.”
“I thought you told the ‘old
man’ you were Motor Sgt. in
your old outfit,” said the old-
timer.
“No, not Motor Sgt., mortar
sergeant,” answered the bewil-
dered newcomer.”
Current rumor has it there’ll
be some changes made.
Pvt. J. Warren Black.
Cavalry
John T. Grabetz, 24-year-old
native of Monroe, Mich., was
voted the unit’s “Outstanding
Soldier of the Year” recently.
He earned his title through “de-
votion to duties” as a radio
operator and for attaining one
of the highest grades at radio
school. John was so proud of
his new T/5 stripes, he wants
to have them tatooed on his
arms.. So far he has had bad
luck trying to locate a tatoo
artist.

When Pfc. “Slim” Partridge
was caught mopping the floor
the other day, it wasn’t that he
was buckin’ or being ambitious.
He was just paying the price for
being careless. That’s what he
deserves, however, for filling his
wash basin with water, then
placing it on his footlocker—
and opening the locker.
Richard H. Oliver.
Of the many “big deals” in
our nice, peaceful, little com-
munity, Ben Spivak, supply man,
watchmaker, PX-Commissary
man, etc., is one of the biggest.
Sgt. Don Groth.
QURRTERmRSTE R
The fishing bug has bitten a
goodly number of men in this
outfit. Almost daily there’s an
excursion to the “ol’ pond”, and
sgune of the catches have been
amazing. In fact, the batch haul-
ed in by Dyer, Chase, Perry,
etc., has made possible several
enjoyable fish fries at our mess.
Cpls. Lich and Ostrowski have
made the most trips and brought
back the least.
“Teepee”.
Aside from being a great soft-
ball umpire, our Walter Galvin
is a fine “Mr. Anthony,” the
matrimonial trouble-shooter of
radio fame. All the fellows have
to do is tell Galvin their troubles,
show evidence with letters, etc.,
and (in a reclining position) he
offers advice. Some of his an-
swers are classics.

Highlights
“Sho; t Beer” Dejong, the Nobel
Prize winner as the biggest grip-
er, did it again. He received a
three-page letter from his wife,
and instead of giving out with
one of his seven false chuckles,
he — you guessed it! — griped.
However, he has our sympathy
in this case because the little
woman dedicated two of her sup-
posed-to-be sugar report pages
to describing a new bonnet she
had purchased. The rub is ttj.at
she used her hubby’s allotment
in payment for “the cutest thing
you ever saw.”
Pvt. Sam Santillo.
Pfc. Gunn refuses to reveal the
name of the elixir that has mir-
aculously restored his hair, but
he will permit non-believers to
thoroughly examine his noggin.
And the hair isn’t glued on ..
it’s real!
S/Sgt. Pruitt.
