It is really surpris ing to see how fast the sky can rotate, when observed from a prone position. We sometimes wonder when the Civil War will end. Personally we have little interest in it, having come from west of the Rockies where the schoolbooks say it ended in 1864, but since coming to Texas we find tht it is still being vigor ously fought, with the Rebels hold ing a strong defensive position, and the Yankees making periodic sort ies against them. The main battles are fought at night, between the hours of C. Q. and lights out. We realize, gentlemen, that you are anxious to get back to your beloved (?) books, so we’ll trou ble you no more.

BARRY I Take down your service flag, Mo ther, And fear no more for me. I’jn not in the Army, Mother, I’m in the A. S. T- P- Weep no more for your son, Mo ther, Sigh no more for your boy; Your son is in college, now, Mo ther, Let your heart sing out with joy. “Tis a training school,” they say, Mother, Fear no more for my puight; I’ll never see foreign service, Mo ther, As long as there’s WAGS who can fight. And when the war is over, Mo ther, I’ll be in the Sophomore Class; For others were out in the fight, Mother, While I fought books in class. Take down your service flag, Mo ther, And fear no more for me I’m not in the Army, Mother, I’m in the A. S. T. P. Stork Bombs Lt. Williams Lt^jand Mrs. Wm. Williams an nounced the arrival of Terry Lee Williams, September 7, at 1555. This makes boy number two for Lt. Williams, Adjutant for ASTU 3800, and the papa has been offi cializing it by passing out cigars by the handful. ( ?) Mrs. Williams and Terry Lee are doing nicely, thank you. Ministry of Propaganda By LOMAX Following an extended review of the rumors prevalent in this Co., we have concluded that: 1) as an effective propoganda ma chine, Herr Goebbel’s staff is a flopp; 2) the men in this Co., should be awarded the U. D. C. (Undistinguished Service Cross) for out-rumoring the Axis. A typical cross section of the conversation here (taken under standard conditions of atmosphere and temperatiure, of course) re veals the following, to wit: The A. S. T. P. is training us duty. (S ? to release WAC’s for combat du ty. We must pick Brazos County cotton for one week to qualify for a two week furlough. The Air Corps men are brainy not brawny. They never swing their arms while marching for fear of becoming muscle-bound. Three U-Boats are at large in the Brazos River. If you flunk M. T.—no fur lough in October. The government has too many Jeeps on hand, therefore, they will be made available for A. S. T. P. trainees, applications available in orderly room. Each “D” shortens that October furlough four days. Occasionally the cooks get the army’s and navy’s meat mixed. (Explanation of why we can’t get- decent ‘‘bullneck” occasionally.) There is a proposal under consi deration in higher headquarters to let the A. S. T. P. off at ten on Saturday mornings. Reason—so we can get a headstart on the na vy and marines. Now, don’t YOU think that‘the Goebbel’s Gang are small time operators ? Ed. Note—Above mentioned subs have since been sighted, sal- voed, and sunk by local C. A. P. planes. Au revoir! Reveille needs your money. Get that $30 in now. • Heiftez, Jorden in Pitcher’s Dual With the Officers’ Club garner ing four hits to 3 for the 1st. Co., the ASTP officers eked out a one to no victory over the 1st compa ny team. The win, the third for the officers, showed the ASTP company teams that their officers have fielded a tarn capable of playing real ball with much strength in every position and a battery combination of Captain McDaniel and Lt. Heifetz that is hard to top. 1st baseman Lt. Kel ly started the winning fireworks in the fourth with his walk, steal ing second he moved on to third on a bunt by Capt. McDaniel and came home when Jordan threw wild to first. Heavy hitter for the Officers was Lt. Arthur Jors who collected two singles for three trips to the plate. The 1st com pany muffed several scoring op portunities with two men dying at third and three while On second. Next scheduled game for the 1st company will be Sunday night on Pickett Playground 6:00. 2nd Co. Picked To Win Track Fest ASTP Companies will meet in an intra league Track meet Sun day afternoon at 2:00 on Kyle Field with the 2nd Company of former Aggies heavy favorites to take all events. The 2nd co. team has many veterans from the Ag gie Track team and are in real form for the meet. 2nd Co. Gets Quartermasters 42 more Aggies have joined up with the fighting Second Compa ny. They were juniors before be ing activated last spring, and now they have returned to Aggieland to finish the courses they were taking before entering the Army. The 42 men have been stationed in Wyoming taking everything from O. C. S. prep work to specialized truck drivers’ courses. They were juniors in the QQMC before being activated. Welcome back to Aggie land, men. That Babies May Live .... ‘‘Credit for the dramatic de crease in child mortality during the last quarter century belongs predominantly to the vetrinary profession. For it is to practicing veterinarians, cooperating with the veterinarians of the U. S. Bu reau of Animal Industry, that A- merica oyes the recent announce ment of “the practical eradication of bovine tuberculosis from every county and every state in the Uni ted States.” It is to the veterina rians in production laboratories that we owe the purity of the pro ducts used in the cattle-testing campaign which eliminated this once common source of human tu berculosis. It is through the milk inspection work carried on by vet erinarians that the purity of Ame rica’s milk supply is guaranteed. Thousands who under former conditions would have been doom ed to death, now live in health through a robust maturity as a result of these endeavors.” —CIRCLING— (Continued From Page 3) will make is that he needs a fur lough so he can meet his unseen lover. I sure hope you get that fur lough for more reasons than are stated here. As a last thought, Mr. Wajszynski, I was wondering if you have her picture and if you have, are you sure this is the one you’re writing to! The East Wing of ole Bizzell High was fairly quiet—very un usual isn’t it Sarge? So I drop ped over to the west wing and looked around a little. Several people want to know why Mr. Osborn was so thirsty at Nacog doches last week end? Was it the company or was it a new way to meet people—through open win dows? Mr. Fredrich Pratt’s room mates want to know if Mr. Pratt caught any of those gremlins he was chasing last Saturday night? If you didn’t, you sure used a lot of that ole potential energy trying. Out of the Parish, Perry and Smith trio, it seems that only Mr. Smith was able to stay awake and watch the movie last Saturday night. How about that Mr. Smith? Reveille has never let the Ag gies down. Don’t you let her down by not giving. Personalities Julian H. Thomas At Tenaha, in the piney woods of East Texas, on Friday the 13th of September, 1918, was born a mere stripling of a boy, who came into a waring world, and who, 25 years later, was destined to reach adulthood and receive a degree in veterinary med icine in time to be an active participant in a second world wide war. Thus was the lot of Julian H. Tho- mas, along with many others of us, but the per tinent fact is that he is one of the few of us graduating this semester—and so we hereby pay tribute to him and wish him luck. “Swamp Kid” Thomas lived on ly the first thirteen months of his life in Tenaha, and then his fami ly pushed deeper into the swamps of East Texas to Port Arthur, where the remainder of his child hood was spent. There Julian spent his spare hours hunting and fish ing in the South’s greatest Fish and Duch territory. After dodging cooton mouts, alligators, and wa ding swamps so many years, it is no wonder that our Julian has “webbed feet.” If you don’t be lieve that he has, just ask him and he’ll be glad to show you. However, don't ever get him start ed on how big the mosquitoes are down tlfere, or he‘ll tell you a- bout the time a couple of big ’uns caught up with him in a swamp. The only thing that enabled his get-a-way was the fact that the two Dipterous insects (family- Culicidae, tribe—Anophelini, ge nus—Anopheles, speciosa— Trans- portti)got to arguing over whe ther they should eat him on the spot or carry him to dry ground. During his high school days, Ju lian’s father went into the dairy business, and it was at that time that Julian first developed his interest in veterinary medicine. In the Fall of 1937, Julian be came “Fish” Thomas of “D” Troop Cavalry, and thus began his career at Texas A. & M. Col lege, in the days when freshman knew the true significance of the titles “Fish” and “Frog:” After one and one half years of pre- veterinary school, Julian dropped out of college for a similar length of time to work for Dr. Paul P. Boriskie, in the latter’s veterinary hospital, in Port Arthur. With this valuable experience behind him, J. H. came back to A. & M. with a better understanding of his professional field, and with a re newed determination to go through veterinary school. While going to vet school Juli an worked one and one half years for the department of Veterinp.ry Medicine and Surgery, one semes ter of which was spent as “Night Dean”—living at the hospital. Needless to say, the experience and contacts made pursuant to that job were valuable. When the war is over, Julian expects to go into a general farm animal practice on the coastal plains of southern Louisiana. There live many people of French extraction with whom Julian is familiar and he knows how to get along with them. As for the fair sex, Julian ad mits that he is partial to those little Louisiana “Cajun” gals. As he puts it, “They seem to have the right attitude.” Favorite Course: Operative Surgery (Could it be that you are sweating grade-points, Julian?) Julian says that one f his great est ambitions now is to come back to A. & M. after the war, when all of the boys are back in school, to see the Aggies beat hell out of Texas U. on Tnrkey Day.

M. Review By BILL SHORT Forty-two men of the Fighting QMC are back on the campus again after an interval of three months in Wyoming at Ft. Fran cis E. Warren. Let me express the unified opinion of all the boys when I say that we are really glad to be back. There is quite a bit of differ ence between basic training living conditions and A. & M. A. S. T. P. living conditions. When I stop to consider all the K. P., guard du ty, living out of barracks bags, etc. we had in basic, and then compare it with what a nice, clean life we will have here at A. & M., I can hardly believe that our re turn is true. Really, it is a grand break for us all, and we are very glad to be back. Having been on a little fur lough for the past seven days, two of our boys slipped into the wed ded stage. John Farr and Gilbert Turner are the lucky boys, and our congratulations and best wishes to them both. Rumors have it that B2 Isabel wetn home to Tennessee and tied the knot, but no confirma tion has been obtained from his as yet. If anyone is interested, the QM is located in Dorm 11, fourth stoop in the 2nd S. T. Co. SPORTS Wednesday afternoon the 2nd Company basketball team romped to its 6th consecutive victory in the intermural race over 2nd Co. Aggies of Walton Hall to the tune of 22-12. This was by far the hardest-fought game of the sea son, and the first team to give the vets any competition, despite the fact that the only time our men find to play together is at the official garhes. After playing the first few minutes with reserves, a smooth-working combination made up of “Rope” Corley (The Arkansas Flash), Bob Weinberger, F. D. Prater, Milt. Beerwinkle, and Art Hogge, soon brought the score into a substantial lead, TRACK: Tomorrow is the big day of the A. S. T. P. track meet, and every one seems to be looking forward to it with anticipation. All of the companies are anxious to carry away this meet, because in track and field events more than any other kind of athletics is all-a round physical prowess proved. We of 2nd Co. are not so cocky about our chances as we were when we first challenged yqu other companies to a meet, because we are not in any better shape, com paratively speaking, then we were two or three months ago, since we have much less regular physi cal training per week than you army engineers do. However, we shall see. r Contribute to the General Rev eille fund—and help save a sold ier’s life.
