liked it here I almost got into an
argument. They tried to tell me
that they like us as much as we
like them. They really think that
all the Aggies and servicemen
have been swell to them, and want
ed me to tell you so. In return I
might say that we all owe a lot
to you, Pat and Emily. You’ve
helped to make the burden of our
daily work lighter and you’ve help
ed to keep our spirits high. Here’s
hoping that you will stay with
us for a long time and that you
will grow to be one of us even
more in the future than you are
now. Hats off to you, Pat and
Emily!

Saturday night—Especially when
they wanted to so badly.—To all
you guys that go around cracking
jokes and making life lighter and
easier for the rest of us. You can’t
be named but your buddies know
and appreciate you.
To the fearful wife,
Left behind;
With sorrows and cares,
And duties to mind.
Day after day of tragic life;
Afraid, and yet so brave.
Who kneel, and hope and pray,
As a woman. A wife.
Smiling lips, deadened eye,
No gleam, nor tear, no sigh,
But waiting watchfully,
As the list goes by.
Then the crescendo of Joy;
The outburst of Freedom and
Peace;
When they know that he is free,
To live and dream in sweet re
lease.
He is hers, to keep forever;
Not to lose again, Never,
To die a thousand deaths;
But crowned instead,
With a Victory Crest.

MARINE MAD-CAPS
While scanning through this
month’s issue of the Leatherneck,
the official magazine of the U. S.
Marine Corps, I noticed an article
which reminded me of a certain
old but very young Chief who is
at the present time the Master at
Arms here at Texas A. & M. I
don’t think I need mention his
name, but for the benefit of the
newer men who may not of had the
pleasure of meeting this fine gen
tleman, I shall. His name is Chief
Young and believe me brother he’s
just as young as his name. This bit
of poetry fits Chief Young like a
glove. So read it brother and see
if you don’t agree.
THE OVER-AGE DESTROYER
I passed him on the street some
where,
A veteran in nineteen-eighteen—
His step was firm, his shoulders
square,
His eyes, as ever, were keen.
He didn’t have to go this time.
He rated deferment, or braid, or
bars—
But he couldn’t bear to be left be
hind
He wanted to fight in this war.
I passed him on the street today,
Those stripes he’s won and wear
ing—
Almost a lad, he seemed, so gay,
A model of military bearing.
The old hashmarks were on his
sleeve,

And a Rainbow ribbon on his
chest—
Forty odd years is a short reprieve.
For a man with the right to rest.
I saw him on the street today,
And the boots just stood and
gawked—
He was teaching those punks to
fight and play,
As down the street he walked.
He may be old, hardly fit for the
fray,
But he still is mighty keen,
For clinging to his arm today,
Was a sweet young thing of
eighteen.
The Leatherneck
Corp. McCusker
A gala dance was held at Dun
can Hall Saturday evening the 10th
of July and was, in the writers
opinion, a huge success. There
were, however, a few sad mishaps
which are bound to occur at any
dance of this kind. One of the
mishaps, I think, was the huge stag
line which continually forced dan
cers to crowd into the center of the
Hall, this made things rather un
comfortable but all in all I think
all who came enjoyed themselves.
The music was very good and
Lt. Smith’s requests were of a
choice variety. I didn’t think you
were such an authority on modern
Jive, Doctor—
The Marine personnel was well
represented with Our Commanding
Officer, The Trescott’s, The Kil
dare’s, and all those who were
there alone looking and cutting
every chance they got.
The Bald Eagle was seen flitting
around the hall with a very tell
tale look in his eye, you know a
wolfish gleam that easily distin
guishes Sgt. Hawk, from all
others.
Jive artists were a dime a dozen
that evening and perspiration sem-
ed to flow very freely. Perspiration
however, wasn’t the only liquid
that was floowing very freely, I
was told
The evenings festivities were en
ded with one of the best pieces of
music ever written — “The Star
Spangled Banner” And within a
few seconds all laughter and com
motion ceased and all men in uni
form were seen at rigid attention
until the last note of our National
Anthem had died away complete
ly.
These dances are a fine Morale
booster and should take place more
often. I wonder if something could
not be arranged toward this end?
A Smack in the Puss is Worth
Two on the Deck
Did you ever have a moon-beam
smack you right in the puss - and
like it? No? Then you never did
date Myrtle! Well, that’s what
happened to me that night, moon-
flower-filled and scented with
fumes of stale beer and hambur
gers frying, too long, which waf
ted from the kitchen (galley, to
you) on the gusts of hot air pushed
out by the “galley’s” not being
able to hold any more - hot air, I
mean!
Anyway, Myrtle was lovely in
her pussy-cat sort-of-way, slightly
repulsive, but none the less enthu
siastic about the whole thing. En
thusiastic to the point of plucking
the now-wilted moon-flowers and
pinning them in her bleached and
stringy switch. However, Myrtle
had one redeeming feature - - she
could jitterbug like a demon, which
she was; nevertheless, Myrtle’s
dancing was sensational, in its
own peculiar way, that is, you ne
ver knew if she could stand up un
der the strain of all the bumping
and just expected any moment to
see all parts of her over-developed
anatomy fly fast and furiously
from each other in a million dif
ferent directions. But the sad part
about Myrtle’s falling apart was
that it never did happen. But the
most gruesome thing did—must tell
you!
Well, Myrtle always did like her
suds and could drink gallons of it
—which was accompanied by lond
guffaws and knocking your front
teeth out by a Joe Louis wallop
from the rear (meaning a smack
on the neck). Myrtle, on this parti
cular evening, had had her quota,
and then some—the overflow being
only seven bottles past her maxi
mum, maximum meaning—in bot
tles—an even two dozen, which is a
lots of suds for any dame to soak
over a period of three hours. Any
way, you wouldn’t think to look
at Myrtle that she had such a cap
acity. She did! I know! I paid for
it, didn’t I? Well, you wouldn’t
know about that; however, to get
on with the story--—
' Well, (monotonous, ain’t it,) we
are out on the jive-slab (all out),
making with the bumps, and Myr
tle suddenly lets out a cat-call
that would curl the hair on a tou

Spotlight on Sports
By BILL PLATT
The Detachment golf tourna
ment advances one round further
this afternoon when Squadron 1
tees off at 2 p.m. at the Bryan
Country Club course. Last Satur
day Squadron 2 had their competi
tion to determine positions for the
Detachment playoff coming up in
the near future. Sqaudron V was
scheduled to take the course this
afternoon but since it is highly
probable that they will not be
here later for the grand finale they
will not get to compete in the
opening rounds. Squadron I reports
several good golfers and a trio
of them are Bill Williams, Univer
sity of Idaho; Roger Taylor, Uni
versity of Utah; H. L. Zimmerman,
University of Washington.
A shipment of Physical Educa
tion uniforms arrived in mid-week
and all of Squadron V and most
of Squadron I have received their
issue. Most of the students are
wearing them for P. E. classes
already and the outfits look classy
and sturdy. The remaining Squad
rons will have a short wait for
their equipment. The wait will be
worth while because not a part
of the uniform will be issued un
less the complete set fits well.
A/S Athletic Officer, Edward O.
Martin, reports that the Detach
ment basketball tourney will swing
into action as soon as the goals are
put up in the Aggie fieldhouse.
The tournament is to be played
on the Varsity court and the goals
have been taken down for the
summer. It is hoped that they can
be erected again for our tourna
ment.
The Detachment basketball show
will be a double round robin affair
with each team having to be de
feated twice before dropping from
the running.
The tennis tournament plans are
maturing and if they continue at
the present clip the weekend of
the 24th should see some competi
tion among the racket swingers.
Any student who wishes to par
ticipate should utrn his name in
to the Squadron Commander be
fore Monday, July 26th.
Sqaudrons I and II took advan
tage of a free evening on Thursday
and got in some good practice licks
in a non-league softball game. The
contest was one of those games
that a fan likes to witness. Both
teams played tight ball in the fast
game that Squadron I won by
a 2-0 score. The losers collected two
hits while the winners could mus
ter but one safe blow from the'
offering of George Hill, Squadron
I new pitching find, but errorless
ball by Squadron I made the dif
ference. George Hill took his first
turn on the mound for Squadron
II and got off to a shaky start
by walking four men in the initial
frame and giving up one run. Hill
settled down after the first inn
ing and pitched good ball the rest
of the game. The only error of the
five inning contest was committed
in the fourth inning by Squadron
IPs second sacker to let in the sec
ond and last run. Weather permitt
ing the champion ship for the four
team Bomber League will be play
ed Tuesday evening between Squad
ron I and V. Ill and II will tangle
the same evening.
damn, Myrtle has gone and turn
ed her hinge (that lower portion
of the gam that makes with the
foot). Anyway, she swells up like
a toad—the ankle, I mean— and
here we are, out in the middle of
the groove-boards, swollen up like
a ballon (the ankle, I mean)— and
Myrtle still moaning like she does
when Charlie is out of suds.
Well, (still monotonous) I takes
Myrtle under the arms (Jeez?
She’s stacked like a prize fighter—
a retired one) and makes with a
try at lifting her slight 200 pounds
of muscle and bone from the deck.
All the time Myrtle is just setting
on her over-developed hips and still
making the cat-calls — only more
so. I finally gives up and collapses
beside her with a bottle of suds in
my mit.
Well, (you fill in), there we sit
—all of us (nothing showing, tho)
—and getting no cooperation from
the management (it was new and
didn’t know us), I decided to call
my brother Louie who is in the
hack business, and get him to help
me tow Myrtle to her shack.
To wind up this yam—I gets
Myrtle home, gets a doctor, he
fixes her number one jive limb, and
within a week Myrtle is as good as
new—practically, except now she
doesn’t talk about her operation
anymore, it’s always—“Jeez, Mac,
you should have seen the time I
hit the deck, but hard—‘broke’ my
ankle, just nearly killed me, and
was in the hospital for two months
—”, etc., etc., etc., You see,
Myrtle is almost as good a liar
as I .

The writer of this column wished
to apologize to his readers, if any,
for the error in Tuesday’s issue
on the date for the All-Star base
ball game. Sorry fellows, I will try
to stay “on the ball”. Hope you
did not cuss me too much when
you couldn’t find the game on your
dial Wednesday night. The Amer
ican League won 5-3.

It is truly one of the great pic

to Chattanooga where he entered
school. After finishing grade school
the family moved to Cleveland,
Tennessee where he attended High
school. Being very active in sports
he won his letter in both football
and basketball three years in a
row. Mr. McLeod was also a mem
ber of the National Honor Society
and won a Football Scholarship
from the Western Kentucky State
Teachers College. After playing
one season of college football,
which incidentally was his fresh
man year, as a member of the var
sity team, he decided to enter the
Armed Forces .
On January 10, 1943 he entered
the Anr Corps and was sent to
Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia for in
duction. His basic training was ad
ministered at Miami Beach, Flo
rida and he later was transferred
to Ft. Meyers to attend Gunnery
school. Upon completion of this
course, Harry next attended radio
School at Sioux Falls, North Dako
ta. The first part of June he was
accepted as an Aviation Cadet
Applicant and went to Sheppard
Field and recently arrived at Col
lege Station.
Harry is the athletic type and
enjoys any form of sports tlthough
his favorites are football and bas
ketball. He has a deep passion for
southern cooking and both fishing
and hunting. His main ambition
is to become a navigator and after
the war he wants to become an
tremely good natured. From all
outward appearances, he is a man
that has his goal in mind and will
allow nothing to deter him from
accomplishing it.
