Huachuca slumbered in the sun
Since long before the war was won -
The men had gone to spring the trap
Upon the Nazi and the Jap,
Except for units here and there
The barracks looked most awful bare;
The or\ly social club on hand
Was at the PX shoeshine stand.
The Special Service used no mikes,
The bowling alleys heard no strikes,
The weekly Post Script sent its laughs
To you byway of mimeographs.
But we already hear the tread
Os coming action just ahead.
The Service Clubs will open now
With entertainment, swing and chow
And we have back ol> Chauncey Lee,
The tophand USO MC.
Young Benny at Case Mar Kim
Is briskly getting into trim
For officers relaxing, who
Drop in for steaks and three-point-two.
So pass the word to service men -
Huachuca's on the prod again i

POSTSCRIPT OF THE APACHE SENTINEL
crksm Sfciu* ’it-
This week I pay tribute to t/5 Clara
Wells and Pfc. Mary Burwell. These two
•VACs were members of the detachment
which was inducted under the Gen/ John
athan Wainwright Banner. At this time,
Gen Wainwright \ms still a prisoner of
the Japs. The ceremonies were held in
the Grand Central Palace in N, Y. C. on
November 1, 1944* The group was 1 sworn
in by Col. Qveta Culp Hobby, then Dir
ector of the Women l s Army ’Corps, and
addressed by Mrs. Wainwright and her
son; Out of this detachment of 203,
twelve were Negroes. The only two to
see service here were those named above,
Beth of these HACs have rendered, val
uable services to the Armed Forces.
Again I salute you NOTED FROL A RE

is a funeral where you smell your own
flowers..... That it makes no difference
how times ahe - girls without principle
always draw plenty of interest..... That
when a fellow says he knows a girl like

her on the shelf.
