YIc really have that feeling, Uit here's the trouble — There's no one here to share that feeling with us. Louis B. Hershey^ head of the Selective Searvicc, and our local draft board have seen to that. However, Anno did something about that feeling. She and Atm Hulick (."Bardy" Hunt's girl) went all the v;ay to Fort Bragg with Foy Southards* and Brevard's parents only one week a- fter they (the boys) left. Tliey were so cxcited and "upsot” that they got lost and rode around Fort Bragg several times and even'passed the boys' barracks unknowingly before they finally found them. Incidentally, Miss Hulick was so excited at the pros pect of seeing Brevard that she lost her hat. We knov; that all of you boys get homesick occasionally, nnd we know from expri-v ence that homesickness affects people in funny ways.

We bet they could have a lot of fun double-dat ing. Boys, we've heard of a sure fire v/ay of telling v;hen you are getting old.
