Squadron I
Good morning, gentlemen, nice
day, if it rains this afternoon. We
can dream, can’t we ? Our day
seems shorter every day even
though we have to get up in the
middle of the night to get it start
ed. Mr. Secola likes to stand
reveille in the dark. He says that
“extra forty winks” count later in
the day.
Squadron One wishes to serve
notice on Squadron Four that we
will be out there fighting for our
integrety during all future re
views. We plan to get our ribbon
back this week. There was ai
quickening of heart beats in our
ranks when the ribbons all piled
up on the wrong masthead last
week. We don’t feel right without
them. An eye for an eye, etc.
We’ll take your mess ribbon away
too.
Mr. Hunter seems to have his
seasons mixed. This is fall—not
springtime. Those birds you hear
singing down around the North
Gate are only the faraway drones
of our flying-washer machines. I
know your week-end was not spent
gazing at the tall buildings. Mr.
Cantor and Mr. Doliner of Squad
ron Five explained their presence
at the gate last week-end by say
ing' “We don’t even get to apply
for a pass; we’ve been too busy
every Saturday afternoon since we
came here.”
Mr. Callahan says he has the
spirit for calisthenincs, but his
mind and body refuse to cooperate
with the spirit. A few more Bur-
pees will cure you, Mister.
Mr. Elmer “Tex” Jones is hold
ing back on us. We all want to hear
more than the first verse of that
song; but he’s a reluctant soul
and refuses to teach it to Mr. Ha
milton and the rest of the fel
lows.
Suggestion to Mr. Damsky. More
velocity on the whistle blowing
so we can start getting some ac
celerated motion up there in Ramp
6 in time to really coast through
traffic to the street.
So long until next time with
the thought for the day—get on
the band-wagon with bonds.
Hedge Hopping
Squadron IV
The hot-pilots of good old Squad
ron IV have sure been buzzing
around this past-week. First we
see H. P. No. One, Joe (sheep-
herder) Cotcher, stands one of the
Cadets on its tail at the enormous
altitude of 300 feet. Next thing
we know, the smoke is boiling up
from the instructors seat. Yet, Joe
insists that he wasn’t * the least
bit hot .... Also, we heard one
of these aces admit that with a
few more hours, his instructor
would be ready to solo, and that
he was sure satisfied with the way
he was catching on. This guy must
be good—and, not the least bit
conceited, either .... Then,
there’s Mister Warren, who has
the ship in quite a dive after a
stall. Realizing that something had
to be done, but fast, he turns to
the instructor and yells, in no
uncertain terms, “Hey, I’ve for
gotten how to stop this darned
thing!” .... Wing Commander
Meek wasn’t in a plane, but he
was certainly flying around I
Ramp one night last week. It seems
as though one of his friends, cer
tain he wouldn’t mind, borrowed
his mattres. And, needless to say,
Mister Meek didn’t mind—Oh no,
not the least bit. To top it off, even
after he found his bed, he had to
sleep minus sheets. How does that
sack sleep, without the sack Mr.
Meek ? .... Of course, this is only
gossip, but, after all! ... . Since
I personally don’t relish the job,
I’d like to Appoint someone to
ask ”—censored—Tex” Medaris if
he has ever succeeded in his
search for the woman he REALLY
loves. And, if he hasn’t, why not
.... There’s just one more mys
tery we’d like to have cleared up.
To wit—Just what was Mister
Eade’s reaincoat doing in the
place down the road? How about
that, Edgar?
For the good of the Detachment,
Spotlight on Sports
Well, Wednesday night saw
Squadron I extend their softball
winning streak to eight straight,
by defeating Squadron II, 5-2. Be
hind the brilliant pitching of Mr.
Powers, Squadron I experienced
little difficulty in turning back
the always dangerous Squadron
II. The main cogs in the victory
probably were the potent hitting
of Mr. Hinkle and Mr. Herndon.
The opposing short-stops, Lt. Se-
grest and Lt. Pickens played a
superb brand of ball for their re
spective teams. Squadron I will
probably play an all-star combine
next week. Our regrets of the
week go to Mr. Broderick, Squadron
II pitcher, and his respective cat
cher, Mr. Bard. It appeared as if
these two gentlemen played a fine
brand of ball for a losing cause.
Sidelight Views
Have you ever seen a more
active squad of Eager Beavers
like Squadron Five taking calis
thenics. They seem to feel right
at home during P. E. period. What
can the reason be ?
Spotlight Figure
Mr. Danoti, a California boy,
went into high school to attain
a distinction of obtaining 12 let
ters in four different sports. From
there he attended Santa Rosa Ju
nior College where he made All-
Conference football back. He then
left for a crack at College sports.
At Oregon State he played foot
ball and baseball. After college he
played professional baseball. He
then decided it was time to join
a larger and all-around better
team, the United States Army Air
Corps.
That’s all for the week, fellows,
except pay more atention to your
P. E. instructor. He is out there
for one purpose, to harden you up
for the many rough experiences
you will encounter later.

busy in America today—in sub
ways, on streets in restaurants—
spreading the same seeds of dis
trust confusion and fear.
DIVIDE and CONQUER is an
important film for all to see in
order that we may guard against
propaganda.
we’d like to suggest that the other
two verses of the Air Corps Song
be taught to the Detachment. It
is my personal opinion that the
first verse is becoming pretty well
frassled in the Detachment meet
ings—and ,that third verse sure
sounds good.
Most of the Beavers, I’m sure,
if not all of them, are fully aware
of the “good deal” that we have
here in the 308. Captain Hill cer
tainly did a good job of impressing
upon the men just what was ex
pected of them, and how import
ant it is that they keep all their
achievements up to par. Speaking
for, and to Squadron Four, I
would like to say that at the pre
sent time, we seem pretty well on
the ole proverbial ball. But, lest
we forget, it’s going to take plen
ty of elbow grease and effort, to
hold us in this position. Gentle
men, let’s not let up, but bear
down all the more. How about it,
men?
To close this first sketch of the
new editor, I’d like to remind
the fellow, or fellows* that sounded
off the other morning in my fa
vor, that he is a hunted man. I
have a perfectly good sixteen-
gauge at home. I guess 111 have
to bring it up.
Until next time, though, keep
that nose up, and hold
your altitude.
Contact
Squadron II
Gentlemen, are you having trou-
b 1 e distinguishing centripetal
force from centrifugal force? Are
you homesick or financially em
barrassed? (Need I ask this ri
diculous question?) Have your
feet rolled up into a sphere from
staying on the ball ? Have the
blisters on your dogs (don’t tell
me you have none) been converted
into bulges on your shoes? If so,
you have a true friend in Mr. M—
a rosy faced Irishman from the
wilds of Long Island, New York.
It has been unanimously agreed
by the eager grievers of Squadron
II that we bestow the honor of
Student Chaplain upon our loyal
and faithful comrade, Mr. M—.
An urgent need for each service
has already been expressed and
there have been numerous Unpunch-
ed cards distributed among the
men of our Squadron. Mr. M— has
thus far brought kind and com
forting advice to many grievers.
We, the members of Squadron II
sincerely hope that Mr. M— con
tinues his services and advising
his buddies.
As a representative of the ma
nifest opinion of all Squadron II
we want to express our appreci
ation of the atmosphere presented
here by our leadership. The de
tachment meeting, we feel, is the
“EXHAUST”
Squadron V
The boys of Squadron FV are
nearing completion of their flight
training. (Providing the weather
is good). The Hot Pilots of Squad
ron V are eagerly awaiting their
turn at the stick. Let’s all hope
ol’ Sol is on our side.—Shine on
Ole’ Sol, shine on.
Intimate notes from my little
black notes (with pink lace). What
dreams “disturbest thou sleep”
Monsieur Paysour? By under
ground reports we hear that you
awaken each morning, embracing
your pillow and saying, “Dearest,
what ruby lips you have and your
tresses shine so golden in the sun
light.” Tsk, tsk, such compliments
you pay a pillowcase full of fea
thers.
Da Da Dit Da ditty dit day did-
die day. (What makes you think
I’m crazy). That is just Morse
Code, translated it means, Pay day
today. Yes sir, pay day was swell.
First you are broke and then your
destitute buddies hit you for a
touch (or touch you for hit with
“Buddy can you spare a twenty?”)
then you are “broker.” So what
are you complaining about—Tex
best expression of the sincerity of
the officers in command of this
detachment. Never before have we
seen so genial an interest shown
in us .by our command. This and
many such gestures not only make
us proud to be members of the
308th, but they make us proud
to be members of your command.
Captain Hill, Sir, with our great
est admiration in the gesture, we
salute you, by far the finest C. O.
any of us has ever had. (editors
note: That goes for all squadrons,
not just II).
In our last edition the question
was put forth as to the nature of
the bait being used in Puryear
Hall ramp nine trapping indus
try. Though no mention of the
bait was made, the vermin con
sumed a chocalate bar and half a
box of ex-lax. For once we have
the last laugh on a rat.

We of Squadron V extend best
wishes to all of the Jewish men in
this detachment for a very Happy

In Geography class last Wednes
day the professor was lecturing
on rivers. The discussions ran a-
long the lines of how wide the ri
vers were, how long, etc. “Here is
the Amazon River,— it empties
in to the Ocean with such force
that a person could drop a bucket
into the ocean and draw out fresh
water two miles out from shore,”
said the professor. Mr. . Morone
gave out with, “That is nothing,
you can do that in Lake Michigan.”
“Undoubedly,” answered the pro
fessor, “Lake Michigan is a fresh
water lake.”
Mr. John “Red” Colvin, bravely
struggling to keep awake and
blinking his eyes like a hoot owl
in a forest fire interupted, “Could
that be the reason?” By majority
vote, who gets the medal for the
boner of the week? Power to you
Mr. Colvin, if all try as heard
to stay awake and get something
from the lectures all will be well.
Dames are pushovers for gay
Caballeros,
Caballeros are athletes in Spain,
Athletes in Spain throw the bull

Therefore dames are pusovers for

Question of the week!—What
two students of Flight 54 have be
come official members of the Stage
Door Canteen in Houston?
The campus is knee deep in Stu
dent Officers, each waiting for
some victim to step out of line.
Woe be unto him who steppeth out
of line and bringeth the wrath of
the^p gentlemen down upon him.
Our student officers are gentle
men though and will treat you as
such so men let’s give them co
operation fellows.

(Continued from Page 1)
A vote on this question was taken
and it carried unanimously in fa
vor of it.
A letter was received by the
editor of the Battalion from the
Lasso, official newspaper of T. S.
C. W. In it the question was asked
if the Aggies wanted a sweet
heart for the T. C. U. football
game. It was decided unanimously
that this tradition should be car
ried out this year as in the past
ones. A group of Aggies will be
selected to make the trip to Den
ton to decide on the beauty for the
event. Other details will be made
known as soon as they are reach
ed.
Mention was also made about
the customary junior corps trip to
T. S. C. W. on the Friday before
the game. This is being worked on
by the class officers and the out
come will be published as soon as
it is made known. If worked as it
has been in the past, the entire
junior class will be given authorized
absences from classes Friday and
Saturday of the game weekend
and will migrate in a body to
Tessie-W-land.
After the Meeting, the new pres
ident made a talk asking the mem
bers of the class to stick together
as best as possible and to stay
behind their officers when they
wanted something done. If this is
adherred to, the harmony and or
ganization of the class as a whole
should make things desired done
much easier to accomplish.
