Fish Perform Peculiar Antics While
Upperclassmen Serve As Ringmasters
Fish ore very unusual creatures.
They congregate in schools and each
year a new supply venture forth
from their brlney homo. The In-
flux of them at this particular sea-
son has practically taken this cam-
pus by storm.
The female fish Is characterized by
long stringy hair (a style especially
designed for fish by Kathcrlno Free-
man) adorned by a green ribbon.
While the male fish is easily de-
tected by the bewildered tare on his
face and his pants to distinguish
it from the female species of course.
These crops of fish arc annoying
in many ways but they are ex-
ceedingly Industrious little crea-
tures. Quite frequently they are
found in various rooms mopping
floors making beds and even
ironing. One little fish even tried
its hand at fixing electrical appli-
ances. The fuses and sockets in
question had an annoying tendency
of trying to shock anyone who
touched them. But after a far-
sighted upperclassman found a lit-
tle fish who had some life insur-
ance it quaveringly agreed to try
Its hand. Yes it survived quite
nicely thank you and incidentally
has become quite adept at hanging
curtains.
Usually those little creatures have
some task to keep their minds off
the homes tlicy have recently left.
When not working however they
are usually sitting placidly on the
floor or reclining comfortably on
their infinities.
They all seem very anxious to il-
lustrate their Inherent abilities for
at almost any time you can walk
into a room and find literally a
school of fish demonstrating their
various accomplishments.
And the variety of their talent is
amazing. We know one whose chief
talent lies in doing a bear walk
while another one specializes in
rolling up like a window shade.
All the female species have been
striving to meet Parramore Field.
The search for him was fruitless
until yesterday when one fish
vowed in deep solemnity that she
had a date with him. But he stood
her up just like a man.
These fish admit that their status
in life is very low being somewhat
hichcr than the top peak of the ad
ministration buildinn of HPC. And
no nice girl knows just how low the
male fish arc.
Regardless however of their hab-
its of rolling up like window shades
and going like lettuce and other an-
noying eccentricities we'll have to
admit they're game little creatures.
So far not one has got its fins
stepped on and swam back to tts
mother in the little pool In the
meadow.
And as we educate these little
"freshmen here as they conform to
our every wish let us not forget
that we were once merely slimey
green fish ourselves.

Aerographer's Mate
OrriCIAL U. I. NAVY rHOTOCMFH
Lt. Earl B. Crawford
Receives D. F. C.
Another honor has been announc-
ed for Hardln-Simmons exes in
service with word of awarding of the
Distinguished Flying Cross to Lt.
(j.g.) Earl B. Crawford in the South
Pacific.
Lieutenant Crawford who at-
tended Hardln-SImmons from the
fall of 1D37 until the summer of 1041
was given the honor by Admiral W.
F. Halsey naval commander In the
South Pacific.
The citation reads:
"For heroism and extraordinary
achievement while participating In
an aerial attack against the enemy
as pilot of a fighter plane during
the raid on Japanese warships in the
strongly fortified harbor of Rabaul
New Britain on November 5 1943.
Lieutenant Crawford followed his
division leader into terrifically heavy
and accurate anti-aircraft fire fol-
lowing his particular group of tor-
pedo planes. With utter disregard
of his personal safety and intent
only with the purpose of getting the
group he was protecting in and out
again he approached dived and
pulled out with them dodging anti-
aircraft burst and beating off enemy
fighters until the attack was com-
pleted and the danger over. His
daring ability contributed largely to
the success of the attack both In
enabling the bombers and torpedo
planes to concentrate on their re-
spective targets free of fighter op-
position and in protecting the group
in the most vulnerable stage of its
attack. Although his plane was
damaged by enemy action he de-
stroyed one enemy medium bomber
and in addition damaged and prob-
ably destroyed one enemy fighter.
His courageous conduct was in
keeping with the highest traditions
of the United States Naval Service.

Lt. Col. Lascelles
Speaks Here Monday

orary secretary of the Agricultural
War Savings Advisory Committee

monwealth as Contributor to a New

Lt. Col. Lascelles was born and
educated in New Zealand. In 1899
he volunteered for service in South
Africa as a member of the New
Zealand Mounted Rifles. He was
commissioned as an officer in the
Third Dragoon Guards in 1900 and
in 1911 was in attendance at the
coronation of King George V as
aide-de-camp to Field Marshall Lord
Kitchner. Four years later he was
promoted to major and was assigned
to special duty with the Mcditeran-
ean Expeditionary Force. On the
Way to Gallipoll from Alexandria
his ship was torpedoed off the island
of Lemnos. After some months of
service he was evacuated to a hos-
pital at Malta to recover from in-
juries. After returning to active duty he
cooperated with others in initiatnig
a scries of educational experiments
in the army. These experiments
developed into the established sys-
tem of educational training in the
British army. In 1919 ho was ap-
pointed to the general staff army
headquarters India for the purpose
of assisting in the application of this
educational policy in the army In
India. He returned to England in
1928 to command the army school of
education at Schorncliffe and re-
tired from army service in 1930.

Lt. Col. Lascalles has been actively
engaged as a volunteer worker in
the war savings campaign and other
activities on the home front.

been the amassed fortunes of this
race. They claim that the money is
gotten by robbing others and
through warmongering. This is not
true. f the Jews have money it is
through their own grit brains and
determination. It is to further their
own ambitions and to fill their own
pockets that men have persecuted
the Jews.
If Lindbergh and his kind arc at-
tacking the "warmongering Jews"
to as they say save democracy for
America they arc "barking up the
wrong tree." It is they that arc de-
stroying democracy by their attempt
to create racial differences in the
United States. If anybody is perse-
cuted in America it should be the
anti-Semitism leaders who should
go to German dominated Europe
whore racial differences arc foster-
ed and played upon. C. G.
