The crowd was large but dancing was plentiful. Jack Tea garden was in the groove, but we did expect a little more orchestra for the price the Rec-Fund payed Jack to appear. Girls were rather plentiful thanks to the Corps Club in Houston and other girl organi zations in the near by towns. First Sergeant Porter and Staff Ser geant Marvin Taylor were both present and had a very enjoyable time. Staff Sergeant Marvin Tay lor is a former graduate of this Radio School, he was a student in school with Company four. First Sergeant Porter and Staff Ser geant Taylor both returned re cently from Guadalcanal and have related some remarkable stories of sacrifice and privation. Sergeant Walden had a date with another Sergeant—A Ser geant Ann Fortune member of the USMCWR now on recruiting duty in Dallas and pouston. The best looking Sergeant I have seen in a “Coon’s age.” Miss Fortune wore a white uniform that was a “knock out”—Yes Sir, these Marine wo men do alll right.— Our Commanding Officer, Ma rine Gunner J. W. Peden and his wife were also present for the fes tivities. Tech Sergeant “Rocky” Davis and his wife were present also and cutting a sweet bit of rug—Sergeant Major William Fec- cia was also seen enjoying him self—And all in all every Marine that attended the dance seemed to be enjoying himself emensely. . . . This poem was written by an Instructor in the Radio Training School— A Marine— it came to my attention quite a while ago but neglectfulness on my part has stopped its being printed before this. The name of it is ‘‘Allegiance”. December the 8th was a memora ble day, The President got up and had his say, WAR! WAR! Against the yellow swine, Who plunder and murder, then toast with wine Heartless men with ice for souls, They’ve assumed the leading roles. Cold and daring with ruthless abound, Their bombs explode with terrific sound. Pearl Harbor remains but a flam ing mass, Never was known such a holocaust. REVENGE! REVENGE! The Pre sident cried, The Senate in Congress gasped and sighed. Mothers and Fathers held back their tears. Already they had aged many years. BLOOD! BLOOD! With all its gore, Soon was to take its awful score. Then McArthur in the Philippines, Fighting with men some in their teens, Taught those Japs a little respect. Gave them a feeler as to what to expect, The fightingest bunch of men in the world, Who fought like Hell, while at home we toiled. Making Guns, Tanks, Ships and When in Doubt About Year Eye* or Your Glasses Consult DR. J. W. PAYNE Optometrist 109 S. Main Bryan Next to Palace Theatre Jeeps, We knew this fight was really for keeps. The battle of Midway showed the skunks, They wern’t dealing with a lot of punks. Our Navy and Marines were be ginning to click, Our guns were roaring, planes fly ing high, As we battered the foe from earth to sky. Then Guadalcanal with all fts glory, Sure changed the tune of a horri ble story. The Japs were losing, ‘Twould be a short time E’er we destroyed the rotten slime. One General who no longer could tarry, Became a dead hero by Hari Kari. — REPAIRS — -o- — ALTERATIONS — Lauterstein’s Welcome Freshmen ’ i WE’LL BE SEEING YOU AT l / GEORGE’S AT THE NEW “Y” Freshmen - - We Welcome You o Aggieland We welcome you to Aggieland, and we hope that your stay here will be both pleasant and profitable, that you will attain the goals you have set forth for your scholastic career and that you will be successful in all your endeavors.
