Jerry Krakoff, 2nd Company
neswhawk, received word from
his brother that he was alive and
kicking, kicking the Axis in
North Africa, and longing for
the day when “Old Lady Liber
ty” would loom over the port
bow.
The letter was received last
week by Jerry from his brother
Abe, stationed in North Africa,
with the 99th Heavy Bombard
ment Group. Sgt. Krakoff was
drafted on December 4th, 1941,
just three days before Pearl Har
bor. During the next sixteen
months he was stationed at nine
different air fields and promoted
to the grade of 1st Sgt. In April
of this year he was shipped over
seas at 1st Sgt. of the 346th
Bomb. Squadron. It meant a dull
life of watching his buddies go
on bombing missions, some to re
turn no more, while he was left
behind to do the paper work. Late
in May Abe asked for and re
ceived a demotion to S/Sgt.
which relieved him of his ground
duties and permitted him to fly.
Today Sgt. Krakoff is a wing
gunner on a B-17. During the 38
days of war on Sicily he made
several bombing missions and re
ported “Mission Accomplished.”
Sgt. Krakoff visited the city of
Algiers and Setifa and wrote that
the populace of those towns were
very friendly and very talkative.
He writes of a great shortage of
chocolate candy and linen sheets
—(but don’t we?). His closing
words of the letter were, “We’re
all waiting to complete our 50th
mission and then back to the good
old U. S. A.
S/Sgt. and Pfc. Krakoff are
the lowest ranking members of
the Krakoff family in the armed
forces. There are two more bro
thers in the service . . . . a cap
tain, recently stationed at Camp
Breckenridge, Kentucky; and a
2nd Lt. now with troops at Trea
sure Island, Calif. And, believe
it or not, there are two more bro
thers at home keeping up the mo
rale. Yes, the Krakoff family has
gone to war.

the fifth the Sailors scored 4
runs, cutting away the Marine 2
run lead, and that is the way the
score stood for the remainder of
the game.
Hallot, first man up in the fifth,
homered. Pope walked, Foster
singled him to second and Laurens
loaded the sacks with a drive
through short. Gordon (winning
pitcher) then won his own ball
game with a Texas Leaguer that
sent three men home.
Both teams displayed good field
ing and Holstein pitched a good
game for the Marines. With a lit
tle more power at the plate the
Marines will be a hot contender.
Reeves, a new-comer to the Na

right fielder, accounting for a dou

Navy’s first run.

NAVY ORCHESTRA TO
PLAY AUGUST 28TH.
With Chuck Jendricks as head
man, the Navy will take a flying
leap into the music world August
28. Saturday evening will be the
show-off. We haven’t heard them
play yet and are trying to wait.
Secret rehearsals seem to be the
thing .... Except for Chuck . .
We have heard him Saxing “China
Boy” .... So grab a gal fellows
and make ready .... We really
want to give this band every chance
to get off to a good start. Let it
not be said they had to stop be
cause of lack of support. August
28th is the night for the auspicious
opening of this Navy Orchestra
and the locale will be the Country
Club .... It is going to be good :
really good so grab a date and be
ready gang.
FORMER TRAINEE KILLED
IN ACTION
Jack Howard Jones, 19, former
trainee on the Radio Operators
School, has been listed by the Na

ceived his rate as Radioman third
class upon graduation and was
shipped to Jacksonville, Florida,
where he was stationed until sent
to sea. He had been in the Navy
approximately 18 months, the last
two at sea.

More action in our little world
of sports .... I could say I told
you so but I’ll be polite .... what
I’m referring to is the snappy
Officers’ ball club. They certain
ly are not the best team on the
campus but what they lack in
ability they make up for in drive
and spirit.
The old boys are practicing re
ligiously and it won’t be long be
fore they come through with a
victory over one of our teams.
Last Sunday’s ball game be
tween the fifth and fourth com
panies was a humdinger. The
game had all appearances of a
Brooklyn Dodgers-St. Louis Car
dinals game with plenty of rough
stuff and some fast action.
The fifth company fielded a
snappy outfit and played its best
game to date. The final score
was 15-5, with the fourth com
pany on the short end of the
score. Especially noteworthy was
the hitting of Darrel Hudson, the
fifth’s flashy shortstop, who net
ted himself a homer, double, and
single, and the superlative pitch
ing of Lefty Vitz, whose smooth
southpaw slants had the oppo
sing batters completely handcuf
fed.
Three cheers department —
To Lieutenants Heifetz and Fish
er. In their game with the Vets
the two officers had a terrible
collision. Lt. Heifetz suffered a
cut over his right eye and Lt.
Fisher a leg injury. Both, how
ever, continued in the game. In

fortitude.

Seth Berlin Donelson
Seth Berlin Donelson, a native
Texan from Stanton, is our se
nior of honor today. He was bora
in 1916, in Westbrook, Texas,
and has spent all of his 26 years
in Texas.
“Full Moon,” as Seth is com
monly called by
the fellows, let
tered in f o o t -
ball,, basketball
and track back
at dear old
Stanton High.
H e captained
the football
team and was
secretary of his
class in 1937, his senior year.
After graduating from high
school Seth entered N. T. A. C.
with plans of coming to A. & M.
in the future. He spent one year
at N. T. A. C., getting off his
pre-veterinary work. While there
he worked at the College Farm
as “milk maid” and general far
mer, but that paid his way
through his first year of college
and that was all he wanted.
In the fall of ’38 “Fish” Donal-
son of A-Co. Infantry began the
long road leading to the title of
a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Besides taking the prescribed
Vet courses, he was a member of
the 18-23 club and the Jr. Chap
ter of the A. V. M. A. Seth also
worked \at the Aggieland Inn*
and for a while he waited on ta
bles in Sbisa dining hall.
Although V. P. P. 333 was his
favorite course, Seth claims that
public speaking under Stone was
his most enjoyable course.
In just 24 more days Seth will
be graduating and leaving us to
become another ex-Aggie and Of
ficer in Uncle Sam’s Army. He
hopes, as all Aggies do, to get a
shot at those yellow-bellies over
on the other side of the pond.
Here’s hoping that you get your
wish, “Curley”, and the best of
luck to you as an officer and af
ter the war as a Veterinarian.

when I proposed to her a few years
ago so it must be time to commit
suicide. The football boys continu
ally say that we will need the
backing of the corps more than
ever before this year. That’s all
the news Brant Myers will give
when asked for stuff for this
column. Let’s go out and back
them while they're out there every
afternoon. If the team can go out
and get as sore as Brant is almost
every night, we can surely go down
to Kyle Field once in a while and
watch the team. That and some
yell practices we might get *back
will sure help the team. The team
members are working hard and
they really deserve some support
so let’s give it to them.
Another thing that needs sup
port on the campus right now is
the fund for making Rev a general.
This dorm kicked through with
about twelve dollars Wednesday
night besides the fact that most of
the men had already contributed.
Wonder if Legett and Walton (a
bigger dorm) can round up as
much? Also the freshman dorms
should be able to round up as much
as Milner seeing that they all
have more men than Milner. We
don’t think any dorm will beat our
record though. We aren’t through
yet either. Let’s swell those boxes
and give Rev the honor she de
serves for a service well rendered
through twelve years.
Time and paper are going fast
so I’ll see you in the Batt two days
nearer to victory over anyone that
fights the. Aggie spirit in any
form. Remember, Bryan Field gets
it first and all the team asks is
the deserved support. Let’s give it
to them.
Clippings
The way I understand it, Hen
ry Tischler invites his girl down
this weekend, but due to the con
flict between classes and train
schedule, Tish sends Charlie Boyd
to meet the fair damsel at the
station Now he is looking
for Charlie. Dr. McCoy showed
the boys that a veterinarian can
father a boy, believe it or not.
Yes, he’s now the proud father
of an 8 lb. 2 oz. bouncing baby
boy, and a junior too. Sergeant
Nash is still wondering why Doc
Munson was absent from C. Q.
last Sunday evening. Don’t ram
him sarge, he was the C. Q. No,
boys! A. J. Clark isn’t suffering
from lumpy jaw, the army mouth
plumber just removed 2 of his
upper molars. The Doc also took
it out on Alonzo Anderson. A
tooth, I mean. ‘‘Say Doc, ain’t I
got a little Alveolar Periostitis”
says Alonzo on entering the
chair. “ Yep! sure have,” says
the Doc, and out comes the upper
incisor in question. Who said a
little knowledge is better than
none.
It seems that Jerry Krakoff
and Joe Beninson are up on their
love technique. They had one wo
man between them the two of
them on the way up north last
weekend. James Pulliam and
“Pug” Rentier are in the market
for a mechanic who can at least
start a car. The boys bought (for
two hundrede smackers) the black
Ford coach standing so stationary
in the parking lot. As yet the
motor hasn’t turned over since
they purchased it.Due to the late
research work of Myatt and Me
lius the horrible truth has finally
leaked out. Since a protruding of
the eyes from their sockets is one
of the sure symtoms, we fear
that “Old Timer” Don Williams
is suffering from a severe case
of hyperthyroidism. Talk about
how these guys get around, have
you seen Charlie Barns’ latest
pin up girl. It is an 8 by 10 of
that English lassie he has been
writing to for so long. Men did
you see all the ice that Bob Gar
rett was lugging around this past
week, well, he gave it to the little
one over the weekend. He must
mean business about this wedding
day, September 19. After recei
ving his three rams Lt. Grimes
speaks (quote) “I do not choose
to speak.”

of eligible valedictorians fof the

Mystery of the week: Fish
Springs bought an Esquire. Now
of course he likes to read the
stories in it, but there was a spe
cial picture he wanted to cut out.
This was a Varga girl. This pic
ture was very dear to him, and it
was purloined. Fish Springs pleads
for the culprit to please return
his picture, for looking at women
is his favorite pastime.
The typewriters have really been
pounding away this week. Almost
every Fish is writing his term
theme.
Anybody wanta learn how to
play a neat game of poker? If you
do, just see Fish Longman. From
the games I’ve watched in there,
I’d say that that Fish really knows
his cards ... of course, all poker
games are played with matches.
The gang fights are still goin’
on. Seems as if every time you
stick your neck out the door, the
body of a Fish goes sailing by.
Well, the news is coming in slow
and sluggish, so I’ll be closing;
but fellows, let’s go out there and
make our Ball the best Fish Ball
ever to be at A. & M. . . .
