THE BATTALION
TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1944
Wing Tips
Squadron II
INFORMATION WANTED: In
formation is wanted as to that
blonde “Bombshell” who was seen
with A/S George Cantwell. She
wore a gown which shone up as
silver, always had a smile on her
face (What a smile) and statis
tics show after todays count that
she is A-l with the outgoing
squadron. It is said that this was
her first time at one of the dances,
but when the next one rolls around,
please forward this information to
Kelly Field or Ellington. (We
hope).

THE FINALE—YOUR report
er A/S Phil F. Stogel (Packard)
finds it hard to say ‘Goodbye’, but
this is the hardship of war. Yours
truly had the works given him
last Saturday nite. Compliments
are in order for the students who
had the hand in it. Not having
any mattress, sheets, nor blankets
—not even a particle of my ward
robe—I just managed to get two
whole hours of sleep. Miss Marie
Fallon was an elegant dancer and
we had a wonderful time at the
Ball. Anticipating a better time
the following Sunday, your report
er finally stood the ‘ruination’ vs.
‘students’ and make out okay . . .
Where in the devil are my shoes
. . . ? This is the last edition for
yours truly. Here’s hoping that
we may get a chance to stick to
gether and have the fun we had
through out ‘Buzzing” around to
gether.
—A/S Phil F. Stogel. (Thirty)
Squadron III
FLYING—Since Squadron III
started flying Saturday some of
the boys have been getting a few
buggy rides. The law of gravity
is something to think about.
* * *
A/S FELDMAN and A/S Mc-
CLOID have been riding to many
subways in Brooklyn. It seems
that they can’t digest their break
fast before going up for their hop.
Along with this gruesome pale
pair, A/S Porter wished he could
stay on the ground. Be it as it
m ay> your boy will see what can
be done about getting some Alka-
seltzer.
WING BALL—A:S Patterson
did right for himself. Nice time
was had by all . . . Mr. and Mrs.
Montgomery had a swell time
dancing, thus making an ideal
couple. . . . Mr. Rodaburger came
to the rescue of Mr. Cottrell when
dancing with cute proposition was
a hardship. (PS: It wasn’t Mr.
Cottrell’s wife). LOW AND BE
HOLD!!! Why do the boys attend
Sunday Services immediately after
the Wing Ball? Could it be that
the opposite have that much at
traction? Could Be!

Farewell . . .
Like an end to a trip, so must we say farewell to Capt. uni. He
has brought us many enjoyable hours and has made it easier for the
men in his detachment. It was through his foresight and his effort
that we were able to have the Wing Ball, the organization for the
wives of Beavers, now calling themselves The Beaverettes. Capt. Hill
has always had his men in mind whenever considering some form of
recreation. He knew that the students were a continual grind day in
and day out. To become the World’s Best Pilots—from the 308th’s
C.T.D.—is the wish of Capt. Hill. He has done his best to enable the
men to reach their goal as far as possible. Although the grind and the
path is still long, we must never forget that through him we have
gotten an ideal to pattern our course for the future success in Cadetry.
Not one man can say that he is glad to see him go. As big as the
men may be there will be some tightening of the muscles around our
heart when this man goes on to another destiny. We know that deep
in our own hearts we are wondering what the future will bring us.
We have been able to get along fairly well. But after today, what is
there for us to expect? To show emotional feeling, we cannot. To show
outward feeling, we cannot. All we can do for the time being is care
fully select our pattern and remember the wise words that were voiced
for our benefit at the detachment meetings.
We hope to remember . . . we will remember . . . we shall never
forget that here is a man that has inspired us to maintain and better
ourselves, if possible, along the way of life. The better students we are—
the better citizens we will be when this war is won.
Bidding Capt. Hill FAREWELL on behalf of the men, students,
officers and the personnel, God Speed and a safe Return home.
The Beavers’ Wives will greatly feel the absence ofe
Captain Sam B. Hill, when he leaves the 308th College Traipl
ing Detachment. We are sorry to see you go, and wish t|.
express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful part yo
played in making our brief stay here so pleasant.
This group of the 308th, fortunate for having been unde
your supervision, will remember for long days to come th
relentless fight you have waged to make things as they ar
We will bear in mind the wisdom of your words, your humor
ours manner and the many goals you have attained for us
You may well be proud of your achievement. We hereby
pledge ourselves to continue being and doing our best at al
times; to cultivate that interest in the world situation whicl.
you have stirred by your memorable talks; to bring fortl:
the best in our Beavers by cooperation and sensible thinking '
to bear with them the hardships and inconveniences of wai
cheerfully.
The Beavers’ Wives wish you health, happiness and thi
best of luck in your new line of duties.

formances.
The Lowdown: Tierney is terri
fic!
“Tennessee Johnson” is the
Tuesday and Wednesday billing at
Guion Hall. Starred in the pic
ture are Ruth Hussy and Van
Heflin. This film is based on the
historical events surrounding the
life of Andrew Johnson. It fol
lows his career up to and includ
ing his position of the seventeenth
president of the United States. I
must confess that I can’t find any
dope on the picture and not hav
ing seen it cannot make any pre
diction. Since its popularity is
not very widespread I assume
that it is only a fair production.

To Captain Sam B. Hill
In Appreciation
To all concerned whoever they be,
The Beaver, his wife, you and me,
Join together in a fond farewell
To a gent who really rings the bell.
Who, with departure will create a loss,
Who, with all his authority was never a boss,
But rather a buddy and a neighbor combined
Who, with this war-torn strife of living,
Was. never asking but always giving,
Of time and effort and toil unending,
Spreading contentment and helpful hand lending.
Who, with a son and a lovely wife
And all his knowledge of Korean life,
Spoke to Beaverettes for hours and can
Enlighten the subject, “War in Foreign Land.”
We’ll miss your talks, your jokes and advice,
Our only hope that the next be half as nice.
To your success and happiness we will,
Three cheers for Captain Sam B. Hill.

Beaverettes New
Schedule Effective
Mrs. Rosemary Dolan, pres
ident of the Air Corps Wives
Group now called the Beaverettes,
announces that there will be meet
ings at 6:00 p. m. and at 8:00 p.
m. on Tuesdays. It is important
that all wives attend. Those who
have not as yet joined this group
are strongly urged to join, or at
least come to the meetings to see
what the organization has to offer.
There is no fee, or -charge to be
come a Beaverette.
A/S Leslie Kueck
By Robert J. Kerrigan
This time another member of
the Air Corps fast-stepping five
takes the spotlight. It is in the
form of the aggressive A/S Les
lie Kueck.
Mr. Kueck has played no small
part in every major triumph to
date. To be a leader in a high-
scoring outfit really takes poise
and skill. Both seem to be qual
ities that come naturally to our
own Mr. Kueck.
Hailing from Concordia, Mo.,
this air student was well-versed
in the art of the hoop when most
of us were still mastering marbles.
He starred for four years on a
team that was good enough to
place in the Regional Champion
ship in his Junior year. His skill
and judgment were further ac
knowledged in his Senior year
when he was chosen Captain of
that team.
With the advent of the war his
athletic career was temporarily
halted. He turned down an ath
letic scholarship to Missouri Val
ley College, and followed another
phase of teamwork—the Army Air
Corps. His present objective is a
fair share of those aviation wings.
However, only 19, Mr. Keck feels
that when the war is over he can
return to the green of his Missouri
Valley and pick up the threads of
a solidly-founded career that
should bring him to the top.
Smooth sailing, Les.

tion Students J. W. Clemens, R.
J. Layton, R. S. Litton and R. E.
Woodward. Squadron I classes

“Questionaires”
The ACTD News Staff has
passed 'out and circulated 400
questionnaires among the group
of girls participating in the de
tachment Wing Ball. Candid
opinions, suggestive hints as to
the important improvement that
can be made and the general sur
vey should bear out some impor
tant facts. As soon as these facts
are available through the return
of these questionnaires, they will
be for the benefit of the students.
So far, several copies have been
could raise your southern temper,
but we now see it was all in vain.
Even when you made us fall out
for drill we kicked, but actually
we didn’t care.
You could have made it much
harder for us, but you didn’t. It
was just the opposite. As we get
set to pack our baggage again,
jwe want to thank you for every
thing you did. No matter where
we may go we’ll always retain a
picture of a certain fellow who
always wore a dark green garri
son cap, a white belt, swung his
arms as he walked and had the
accent of a rebel. Until late in
]44 when your Eager Beavers re
turn to their first home, we’ll say
so long and wish you the best of
luck as. you get ready to take on
new children.
