Boy, this column sure gets kicked
around, doesn’t it? Latest news
(or have you heard?) is that three
of us poor guys will alternate at
the job.
The mix-up at “Yell Practice”
last Wednesday night was really
grounds for a good case of “botts.”
In the future it is up to us all (in
cluding the freshmen) to see that
such functions go off as they
should.

Upstreaming
A short time ago an article ap
peared in the Bat. concerning up-
streaming. It was for the most
part directed to Aggies with an
added appeal to Service men. Ap
parently some Servicemen neglect
ed to see it or heed it. Be that as
it may, fellows, cooperation in
hitchhiking is vital now. Gasoline
and tire rationing has limited the
amount of traveling done consid
erably thus causing fewer rides.
So it is only fair for all of us to
form a line and each wait his turn
to use his technique. You may be
in a hurry but perhaps the other
fellow is in a hurry too. Almost
everyone is, in these days of 48-
hour liberties, but whether you are
in a hurry or not, think of the
other fellow and respect his rights
and privileges. This isn’t directed
to just servicemen but to all hitch
hikers. Once again, here are the
spots to wait and form the line for
upstreaming.
For those leaving College Sta
tion for Houston, go to the East
Gate and wait at the bench on the
right. For those going to Houston
from Bryan, please catch a bus to
College and Start from there. In
that way everyone going to the
same spot will be in the same
starting line and no one’s privi
leges will be trampled on.
For those going to Bryan from
College, go to the East Gate and
wait across the highway from the
left branch.
For those going to Dallas, Waco
or Hearne from either College or
Bryan there are two lines. One, at
the second red light on College
Ave. in Bryan (across from the
courthouse) where a line is formed
or else go out to the “Y” at the
Onyx and Navies and form the
rumors of it playing in New Or
leans. Who knows . . .
From the Air Corps: I once
knew a girl who must have been
an aviator’s daughter. (She spe
cializes in the take-off). My room
mate said he once knew a girl—.
“Taps,” the Walton Hall mascot
has mysteriously disappeared. If
anyone knows her whereabouts
(especially you Vets), please com
municate with someone in J ramp.
Corps Dance . . . in Houston
sometime in August is being talk
ed up by some of the boys from
that fair (?) metropolis. Seems
like a good idea, if it can be done.
Soph Ball . . . the plans are com
ing along fine and this should
easily be the top event of the sum
mer season, especially if the pre
mier can be scheduled for that
week-end.
Statistics ... If every boy in the
United States could read every
girl’s mind, the gasoline consump
tion would drop fifty per cent.
Weekly Quiz . . . Where do
baby storks come from?
“A” Quiz News . . . “Are you
cheating?” “Certainly not; I was
just telling him that his nose was
dripping on my paper.”
It is my conclusion that most
girls are reared well; there are
quite a few who look good from
the front, too.
Fish: “I wanna buy a hat.”
Salesman: “Yould you like a
Homburg, sir?”
Fish: “Naw, I ain’t hungry, I
just want a hat.”
You know, Aggies, studies, and
summer heat just don’t mix, so
here is a little advice on the mat
ter:
WHY STUDY?
The more you study,
The more you know.
The more you know,
The more you forget.
The more you forget,
The less you know;
So why study?
The less you study,
The less you know,
The less you know,
The less you forget.
The less you forget,
The more you know;
So why study?
The month’s best music hit—“I
don’t mind you looking up my fam
ily tree, but let my limbs alone.”
I once had a friend who was
kicked out of school for waisting
his time. I once had a friend . . .
P. E. Prof: “Now boys, every
morning you should take a cold
shower. Then you should feel rosy
all over. Are there any questions ? ”
Aggie: “Yes, tell us more about
Rosie.”
Dean: “Young man, I under
stand that you have been indiscreet
with several young ladies.”
Aggie: “No sir, we were in the
house all the time.”
Well, something tells me that
I should fold up and do a little
studying, so I’ll sign off. See you
next week.

(Continued From Page 3)
We seem to be having an epi
demic of Biographys of Staff Ser
geants, so in keeping with this we
offer todays personality. S/Sgt.
Raymond B. Slattery is five feet
ten inches tall and weighs one-
hundred and sixty pounds. He has
brown hair and eyes and is dark
complexioned. Ray was born in
Jacksonville, Florida but shortly
afterwards his family moved to
Miami, where he attended school.
In high school he went out for
boxing and football, winning his
letter three years in a row in the
latter. He was also the Golden
Gloves Welter Weight Champion
of Florida in 1939. From 1939 ot
1940 Mr. Slattery held the Dade
County, Florida Middle Weight
title. Upon leaving school in 1936
Ray worked for two years as an
Electrician in an around Miami.
In the fall of 1938 he accepted the
position of Assistant Registrar in
the famous Surf Club hotel and
remained there until September,
1940 when he enlisted in the Air
Corps at New York.
Ray received his basic training
at Mitchell Field, New York and
in the latter part of November was
sent ot Chanute Field Illinois to
attend A. M. School. Upon his
line there.
For those going to Madisonville
go to the “Y” at the Onyx and
Navies and take the right branch
and form your line there. If all
men will heed this bit of advice,
regardless of how much in a hurry
you are, all of you that do hitch
hike will see the advantage of be
ing in one spot and know that
autoists will know instantly where
you are going.
graduation in June 1941 he was
made an instructor in the Air
plane Mechanics course and two
months later was transferred in
the same capacity to the new tech
nical school being opened at Shep
pard Field. While at Sheppard Field
he earned his rating of S/Sgt after
several promotions. Raymond had
the honor of being picked to pose
for the cover picture of a Techni
cal Manual on riveting that was
published by the Douglas Aircraft
Co. of Santa Monica, California.
It was because of this that he was
nicknamed “The Hollywood Kid”
by his fellow instructors.
About a month after his arrival
at Sheppard he met a charming
young lady from Wichita Falls and
after a courtship of eigth months
Ray proposed and was accepted.
Mrs. Slattery has just recently
joined her husband here at College
Station and to all appearances is
enjoying her stay here immensely.
Raymond’s favorite sports are
boxing, swimming, and football,
while his hobby is practically any
thing connected with Aeronautics.
Some of his more pronounced likes
are dancing, horsebacking riding,
and passion for steaks and french
fried potatoes. His ambition is to
become a pilot, and he would like
to remain an army flier after the
war or else become a commercial
pilot. At present Mr. Slattery is
Supply Sergeant of Squadron III
and we know of no one who could
handle the job any better than he
can. He is wel liked by all of his
associates and is possessed of a
quiet determined manner that can
not help but assure him success in
anything that he might attempt.
We feel sure that he will be in there
pitching all of the way and we wish
him the best of everything.
Circling the Field
Squadron III
The heat these past few days
has us to the point where we are
wondering if we shall ever see
fresh white snow piled up on the
front walk as we used to. Oh how
we used to hate to have to clean
the walk before we left for school
in the morning. At the present
time we feel it would be a distinct
pleasure no matter how deep it
was. All this talk aboqt snow is
sort of a prelude to the following
poem by A/S Leonard L. Lombar
do.
Which Do I Take?
A cooling breeze I have yet to feel,
An azure sky that’s bright and
real.
Tapered soils with greens so true
Open, is this prairie wide,
Nowhere can a rodent bide
Mesquite and sage here and there
Cannot quench, sand in the air.
New York and Texas differ so
much
In climate and topography
So my conclusion tapers to such,
“Praise the Lord!—To choose —
I‘m free!”
As long as we are on the sub
ject of poetry may we take the
liberty of reprinting the following
from Yank, the army weekly:
Cadence
There was a drill sergeant named
Crumbers
Who studied his men in their slum
bers,
And it worried the guy—
He was so damned GI—
That his men wouldn’t snore by
the numbers.
The ’’Six Sad Sacks” seem to
have recuperated pretty well from
their jaunt to Houston last week
end with the exception of Senors
Loomis and Lombardo. It is said
though that this duo of characters
are in a perpetual state of foggi
ness.
It seems that Students Burrier
and Crum are taking their futures
to heart. They were ven in train
ing during their last week end
pass. That is if you can call en
gaging in Bombardier practice
from the sixteenth story windows
of the Rice Hotel in Houston train
ing. How about saving it for
Tokyo fellows?
The mystery of the week is why
a certain Eager Beaver of Flight
26 cleans the Blackboards each day
before Math class and then pre
sents the instructor with an orange
or an apple. Could he be looking
for a better grade on his exams ? ?
Well, if we ever expect to im
prove our last grade of 30 that we
received in Physics we had better
do some cramming so we will say
“Thumbs up” and will be back
again three days nearer victory.

for volunteers for a silent drill
squad. He needs about 25 or 30
men. If you don’t like to hear ca
dence counted out loud here is the
chance that you have been waiting
for but you had better be good.
The drilling will be done during
the regular drill period and will
begin next week.
Today’s Guest
Monte Waller, the eager leader
of Flight I, was born in Welling
ton, Kansas in April, 1924. By a
strange coincidence his roommate,
Glen Starbuck, was born in the
same town but they had never
met until the war brought them
together. Monte’s parents moved
to Alva, Oklahoma in ’31 and a
few years later to Clinton, Okla
homa, his present home. He went
to high school there and graduated
in May of this year. He spent last
summer seismographing for the
Gulf Oil Co. in southern Oklahoma.
But Monte has had many inter
esting experiences in his precious
enlistment in the National Guard.
In 1940 he enlisted in the N. G.,
which was soon made a part of
the regular army, and spent a year
of active duty before being releas
ed because of his age.
While in the N. G. U. S. he was
in the Field Artillery and acted as
radio operator and cpl. of survey
detail. His unit was stationed at
Abilene, Texas and spent a summer
in Lousiana on maneuvers.
According to his roommates (and
he doesn’ deny it) his main in
terest in life is Treva Jones, a
very pretty, blue-eyed blond back
home.
Mr. Waller has an excellent
hobby—making money. His ambi
tion is to study Aeronautical Eng.
at Mass. Institute of Technology.

being ordered for the champion
Squadron.
Golf and softball are not the
only sports that the activity is go
ing to hum in. Just take your
pick of the numerous sports and
in the near future you will prob
ably have a chance to further your
interest. Lt. Segrest, Physical Edu
cation officer, is installing a wide
and varied sports program. Tennis,
volleyball and touch football plans
are being considered and if proper
interest is shown they will be de
veloped in the near future. Eddie
Martin, Sqaudron II athletic offi
cer, is really “on the ball’ and any
student having a sport in mind and
sufficient men for competition
should contact him.
