WATCH
(Continued from first page)
men are divided as follows: 15 cadets
on Sentry Watch; 32 acting as Cadet
Mates of the Deck, Junior Cadet Of
ficer of the Deck, or Cadet Messengers;
and 32 on Security Watch. These men
are supervised by four officers and
supplemented by three enlisted per
sonnel.
Cadets serving watch detail for the
first time are instructed to study care
fully the instructions for their watch
contained in the Cadet Watch Bill,
posted on all hall bulletin boards. Any
special instructions are given the
watch squad at muster and any ques
tions pertaining to the watch will be
answered by the J. 0. 0. D., Alexander,
in charge of muster. The cadets are
told the main purpose of their job is
to keep those persons not having the
proper identification out of the Navy
Area.
A good illustration of the carrying
out of instructions took place a few
weeks ago. A cadet standing Security
Watch was approached by the Regi
mental Commander, making an inspec
tion tour. The Commander refused to
identify himself and was promptly
brought to the Officer of the Day’s of
fice for positive identification.
The following are some “Do’s and
Don’ts” for cadets on Watch detail:
DO NOT:
Leave your post unguarded at any
time. If necessary to leave your post
because of injury or sickness, notify
the J. C. 0. D. in the nearest hall or
the Senior Watch Officer immediately
so a relief can be assigned to take over
your post.
Allow anyone to enter the Navy area
without seeing that they have a pass to
enter.
Read or eat while on Watch. Smok
ing is also prohibited.
DO:
Challenge all persons while on Se
curity Watch.
Read instructions prior to reporting
for watch.
Receive, obey, and pass on to your
relief all orders and special instruc
tions.
Be diligent and foi'ceful in carrying
out your duty.
Keep the utmost vigilance at all
times on watch.
. Keep the barriers closed at all times
and open them only for trucks making
deliveries or having other business
within the limits of the Pre-Flight
School. Automobiles, station wagons,
and trucks bearing Navy license tags
are, of course, permitted to enter.
Periodic inspections are made of all
posts by the Commanding Officer, Ex
ecutive Officer, Senior Watch Officer,
and the Officer of the Day who is re
sponsible for the proper performance
of duty of all cadets on watch.

LAND SAILORS — A newspaper
wag who covers the Navy Department
directed the attention of a number of
freshly commissioned Navy officers to
the cloudburst of rain beating against
the windows of the press room in the
Navy Department building (in Wash
ington). “Look at that,” he said.
“That’s more water than most of you
guys have ever seen.”—Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Pre-Flight School Personnel
To See Headline Entertainers
Cadets, officers, and enlisted men of^
the Pre-Flight School will be enter
tained by the first traveling group to
make an appearance at this station
when a unit of Camel Caravan pre
sents an hour and a half show next
Friday night starting at 1900 in Me
morial Hall.
Following the performance for all
hands of the Pre-Flight School, a sec
ond show will be presented at 2100 for
University students and townspeople.
Hollywood, Broadway, vaudeville,
night clubs, dance bands and radio—
in short every major section of show
business—make up the group of tal
ented entertainers who will perform.
Lee Norton, famed Latin-American
singer heads the cast as master-of-
ceremonies. Other well-known person
alities on this Caravan include the
beautiful Three Debs with their mod
ern, sophisticated and ‘swingy’ song
harmonies; saucy Pearl Robins with
her tricky ‘toe-tap’ dance routines;
funster Clyde Hager, straight from a
two-year run at the Daimond Horse
shoe, with his hilarious ‘pitchman’ act;
Charlie Masters, dipsy-doodle drum
mer, in his riotous comedy routine,
beating out rhythm on everything
from buttons to benches; the charm
ing Camelettes; and the music of
Bobby Kuhn and his Cavaliers.
Since October, 1941, two months be
fore the United States entered the
war, a unit of Camel Caravan has been
presenting good will performances for
drafted and enlisted men. The unit
scheduled to appear here has made
performances at the leading Army
Camps, Naval Stations, Marine and
Army and Navy Air Bases throughout
the United States.
Back to the performers:
The Three Debs, smoothie vocalist
team, attended the University of Mis
souri from which they were graduated
in 1940. Their first engagement was
at the Chase Hotel in St. Louis. In
the spring of 1941 they joined Charlie
Spivak’s band at the Glen Island
Casino, in New York. While there,
they began to make records, appeared
in television and in a movie short.
They were also featured at the Famous
Door and the Park Central Hotel. In
December, 1941, they went into the
road company of Hellzapoppin’ and
stayed with it until this show closed
in Boston, in April, 1942.
Clyde Hager and his pitchman rou
tine should prove to be plenty of com
petition for Cadet O’Sullivan and his
BETTE LEE Ambler, Alma Jean
Wilson and Betty Jane Gilbert, pro
fessionally known as the Three
Debs, are three of the many out
standing entertainers scheduled to
appear on the Camel Caravan Unit
to appear here Friday night at 1900
in Memorial Hall. The girls for
merly appeared with Charlie Spiv
ak’s orchestra, and have a number
of recordings and a movie short to
their credit.
crazy antics.
Clyde has just finished a two-year
run at Billy Rose’s Diamond Horse
shoe, where he tickled sophisticad
New York audiences with his rough
and ready line of swift gab. Two of his
taglines—“get away from me, boys,
you bother me” and—“That’s all
brother”—are now part of the coun
try’s slang language.
Mrs. C. W. Hartsough, Jr., has been
appointed chairman of the Hospital and
Recreation Corps, a new volunteer
service of the local Red Cross.

Canteen Has First
Aid for Thirst
By B. G. Leonard, Jr., SpJc
Water for drinking purposes is un
doubtedly important to humanity. The
Old Oaken Bucket is among everyone’s
favorite songs. But the almost unen
durable heat of summer is likely to
send even the most poetic soul stumb
ling over the same bucket in a mad
dash for a coke.
For the personnel of the Pre-Flight
School, the canteen offers the most con
venient and sure source of satisfac
tion for thirst. Appropriately located
near the center of the military area, a
stone’s throw from the cadets’ halls,
and a hop, step, and dash-while-the-
Exec-is-not-looking from Alexander,
the canteen conducts in compact space
a business that is surprising in volume.
During the month of August 96,000
bottles of soft drinks passed over the
counters of the canteen, and the con
tents of 96,000 bottles passed down the
parched throats of some 1,400 cadets
and an estimated 400 officers, crew and
civil service employees who are eligible
to make purchases at the store. It is
thus calculated that each person at
tached to the Pre-Flight School quench
ed his or her thirst with approximate
ly two soft drinks per day during Au
gust.
The adjacent cadet store, housed in
a corner of Emerson Stadium just op
posite the canteen, does a thriving busi
ness in candies, tobacco, magazines and
essential merchandise. Records indi
cate that each Pre-Flighter consumes
fractionally-more than one bar of
candy each day. The cooler days of
Autumn have occasioned a decided de
crease in the demand for cold drinks,
and swelled the candy sales consider
ably.
The store offers a varied choice of
newspapers and magazines, many of
the popular type, and an especially
complete assortment of magazines and
booklets dealing with aviation. These
are rapid sellers. Gathering dust are
