(jg) Leonard Eiserer, USNR Associate Editor: Orville Campbell, Y3c By Lt. Eric H. Arendt Chaplain Corps, USN This Sunday we celebrate the first anniver sary of our Glee Club and Choir, It is more than just a date. It is the celebration of some thing which, as much as any other single fac tor, symbolizes the spirit of our School. The organization had its birth in the First Battalion. It has grown in importance, effec tiveness and prominence ever since. The Glee Club has performed at many special occasions here at Chapel Hill and on several broadcasts, both local and national. Every member of the Cadet Regiment, past or present, naturally feels a sense of pride in this group. The Protestant Church Choir, which is com posed of the members of the Glee Club who worship together in Memorial Hall each Sun day, is definitely a part of the ministry—the ministry of music. Through the singing of the great anthems and spirituals as well as the liturgical parts of our Service an attitude of worship is attained. All of us recognize the debt of gratitude which we owe to those cadets who have, by giving of their time and talent, given enjoyment and help to us all. It is appropriate that we devote some thought to this organization, and I know that I speak for all in extending congratulations to it. It would not be complete without special gratitude to those who have made this progress possible: Everett Bracken, Yeoman second class, who has been correctly referred to as “the spark plug” of the organization; Profes sor John Toms, who for many months has been its Director; The seven Cadets, the last being Paul Owen of the Twenty-third Bat talion, who have assisted in the direction. Congratulations ! ! 0/t the Lighter Side Does Doolittle Know? “My son,” said the properly indoctrinated Japanese father, “we know how many things are not true. They tell untruths who say American airplanes can fly over our Nippon. It is untrue that when they do fly over they can drop bombs. “It is false when we hear that their bombs can start fires. We know this, do we not? “But, my son, when you hear those planes that are not there, when you see the bombs that cannot fall, when you feel the flames that cannot start, forget truth and untruth and fetch the water pails and sand buckets. Other wise, we shall be living in a house that is not there. Do you understand?” —New York Herald Tribune * * * * ♦ Ages of Woman From birth to 18, a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35, she needs good looks. From 35 to 55, a woman needs personality. And from 55 on, the old lady needs cash! —Kathleen Norris ^ ^ ^ Hi More Truth Than Fiction Asked what he’d done with his pay, a Third Class Yeoman answered, “Part went for liquor, part for women, and the rest I spent foolishly.” His Girl Friday A father was telling his young son the tale of Robinson Crusoe. “And one day he saw strange footprints in the sand,” the father re cited. “He was puzzled. For they weren’t his footprints. He hadn’t seen anybody else on the island. And this island was far, far away from all other lands. And he said to himself: ‘Whose footprints could these be?’ ” The youngster put in: “I know. Eleanor Roose velt’s.” —Leonard Lyons ^ ^ ^ Oh, To Be Old Aged couple making reservations for a room. Clerk: “Sorry, folks, but all I have left is the bridal suite.” Old Man: “What the heck do I want with the bridal suite. We’ve been married 45 years.” Clerk: “Well, if I gave you the ball room, you wouldn’t have to dance, would you?” Fraternity Pins He: “But, darling, why aren’t you wearing my fraternity pin?” She: “All the other fellows say it tears their clothes.” —Exchange Male Call The Boy in Upper 13 by Milton Caniff, creator of “Terry and the Pirates” I MU6T BE TEfAPERME ANO NOT DO ANYTHIN6 IN PUBLIC TO OISQ^ACE MY6ELF OR TW£ * IN IkCCBPTlUe THI6 PASS, I UNIDERSTANP THAT—(D I AAA A 60LDIEJ^ AT ALL TIMES AND 5U5J£Cr TO BOTH CIVIL AND MILITARV Copyright y Milton Caniff, distributed (D I MUST BE POLITE ID ALL PEOPLE I MEET, WUETHEIZ THEY ARE IN UNIFORM OR CIYIL/AN CLOTHES... @ A P^S9 15 A P)^IVILE6E,ANP I /V\AY I NOT 6ET ANOTHER ONE IF I DO NOT I CON PUCT MYSELF PROPERLY...",
