Everything seems to be back to
Bflrmul at Tarletou as the 1,200
homemakers have gone Starry-
eyed cadets and jealous co-eds
have puce again started the ball
rolling. It Was fun while it lasted
although rumor has it that the
-boys became spoiled during the
invasion. Why not? -They have al-
ways been the
underdog as far
as statistics go
and a sudden
change would 11a-
t u r a i 1 y make
them happy. Too
.bad it couldn't
last forever.
Brass, shoes,
5 and uniforms are
'JOHN KKED looking better
hll the time. Whats the reason?
Preparation for federal inspec-
tion. The Jbarbers are prospering
due to a stressed length, of hair-
cuts and sideburns. The "gig list"
is becoming more technical due to
officer's desire for their men to
"look sharp." Everyone should be
alert in every preparation in order
to . maintain the high satisfactory
rating given "John's' Army" in
the corps, he receives white glove
Trispectiohs of the military dormi-
tories. Up to two weeks in adj
vance, after several coats of pol-
ish have, been applied, cadets are
not allowed in the dorms with
shoes. Study time is spent walk-
ing the floors and halls, clad in
heavy athletic socks, with text-
book in hand. It's not so bad here
ai'ter all is it?. Be prepared.
-A Class Meetings
Attendance in class meetings is
lacking —- to' a degree that only
12 seniors attended the last one.
