Routine may become golden opportunity.
Recently a chaplain friend wrote of his ex
periences—long hours on a blacked-out ship,
dangerous waters, landing under fire, estab
lishing and maintaining a beach-head. But
that which was most impressive was his de
scription of the nightly prayer services re
quested by the fighting men themselves.
Here were men who had completed a long
and intensive physical training program.
They were hardened and ready to take what
ever came their way. With them was being
sent the best equipment produced. They were
not lacking. They were not afraid. They
simply hungered for that spiritual equipment
which makes a man give the fullest measure
of hand and mind and heai't. They sought
that spiritual necessity which equips a man
to face not only an enemy, but possibly his
Maker, not only the dawn of battle, but pos
sibly his dawn of eternity.
Sunday morning is routine. But shall it
not be for us far more .than that? Make it a
golden opportunity.

‘Bainbridge Blnes^
So many requests have been received for
the words to “Bainbridge Blues,” the plain
tive ditty sung by Cadets Scott Brear, R.
Carlson, and D. Jenkins at the last Smoker
program that, the Cloudbuster is printing the
words herewith. “Bainbridge Blues” was
composed by Cadets Brear, Carlson, and
Brauckman.
I thought flying was' my meat,
But with those hot pilots I couldn’t compete;
The story of my downfall I now repeat,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
On my takeoff did quite neat.
During the pylons lost 300 feet.
Now they call me Downwind Pete,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
For me there’s no more flying,
-No use moanin’ and eryin’.
Took me an hour to climb a thousand feet,
Found out I didn’t close the carburetor heat.
Now won’t have a chance to duplicate the feat,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
720’s, boy, did I muff.
Stalls and spins are not my stuff,
Teacher got out and called my bluff,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
Oh, I hate to leave my buddies behind!
Saw a girl sunning, that was my doom.
Went down too low to give her a zoom.
Better write and reserve my room
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
On spot landings Fm not so hot.
Six damn times I overshot,
A 64 was all I got,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
For me there’s no more flying,
No use moanin’ and cryin’.
Took my cross check, got thumbs down.
Guess I can’t get my big nose brown,
Leaving today for that Maryland town.
O Maryland, my Maryland
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
Flunked my flight test, leaving today,
So long, buddies. I’m on my way,
Catchin’ a train for Philadelphi-ay,
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
But here is the thing that makes me sore;
Forked out exactly sixteen twenty-four.
For a set of khakis I never wore.
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
Not Anacostia;
—Going Down Bainbridge Way.
Not Pensacola;
-Going Down Bainbridge Way,
