Around The Post
By DEE DYKE
We were reminded at the final
review for General King Saturday
of a paragraph from "See Here
Private Hargrove" which impress
ed us some years ago. When the
officers in their infantry blue
artillery red and cavalry yellow
scarves did front and center when
the band interrupted the music
they were playing to render the
general his appropriate ruffle
when the air section executed its
fly-bye as the last of the troops
turned the parade-ground corner
past the reviewing stand we were
thinking of what one articulate
soldier said about morale.
He said that a lot of attention was
paid to bringing big names in the
theatrical world to put on shows for
the soldiers in the name of morale
but that when a man's outfit turns
out for parade with the band play
ing and the brass glinting in the
sun and the guidons fluttering and
the cadence sharp—that's for mo
rale important as the camp shows
are they are only entertainment.
Much interested has been shown
in the German language class for
members of the Ft. Hood Officers
Wives' club. The first meeting will
be held Tuesday Jan. 22 from 9
to 11 a.m. in the TI&E building
Mrs. Elizabeth Allen who is to be
the teacher has very kindly offered
to conduct a second class in the
afternoon of the same day pro
vided the morning class becomes
too large. Come or call Killeen
3315.
One of the most popular of
the club's activity groups has
been the contract-bridge class.
Unhappily the teacher is un
able to continue her excellent
instruction. If there is anyone
who is interested in teaching
would she please get in touch
with Mrs. J. T. Jones the
activities chairman at Ft.
Hood 42257?
The success of these activities
incidentally has been largely due
to Mrs. Jones unflagging efforts in
organizing promoting and assisting
in solving the problems of the
varied groups.
Music Group
The millinery class will have its
second weekly meeting in the Teen-
Age Club at 9:30 a.m. Friday Jan.
38 after which no new members
will be accepted.
The music group offers a won
derful opportunity for those club
members interested in enjoying
music and since the audience is
as necessary as the performer you
are welcome at the meetings in
the former capacity as well as in
he at he in a
monthly at eight o'clock in the
VIP room of the Officers' Club.
