One of the wittiest girls
you can find anywhere is
Della Sabine Pavlicek, who
was born in Schulenburg on
October 27, 1925.’Della is an
attractive young lady with
hazel eyes,, brown hair and is
five feet four inches tall.
Della’s favorite pastime is
horseback riding and studying
her favorite subject, Algebra,
or going to the future show
in a Chevrolet if the picture
features either Dorothy La-
mour or Clark Gable. Her fa-
vorite color is white and her
favorite song is the “Marine
Hymn.”
Della admires a boy who
has a good sense of humor, is
six feet two with brown hair
and eyes and the ojnly person
she dislikes is one who is two-
faced.
Her motto is one wle should
all practice at all times. “Hon-
esty is the best policy."
When she becomes old
enough she wants to join the

Military Drill
(By Daniel Freytag)
Monday, February 1, the
three boys’ companies, A, B,
and C were engaged in Com-
pany competition during the
training period. Each com-
mander gave his company
several movements and com-
mands. Mr. Pechacek and Mr.
Yater wefre the judges and
they found that Company C
and It’s Captain, Norval Jus-
tice, proved to be the most
efficient. Company B with its
Captain, Max Walla, rated se-
cond and Company A third
with Daniel Freytag in Com-
mand. .
Company A elected it s
Captain this week. Thomas
Davis was elected Captain
and James Ray yvill take his
place when Thomas is absent.
In a coptest held in Co. A, it
was found, the company’s
smallest member proved to be
a military giant when Joe

Here are the Golden Rules
of food rationing:
1. Share your food with
fighters protecting your home.
2. Don’t hoard anything.
Accept rationing cheerfully--
help make it work.
3. Learn to use your ration
book right. Use the 8 and 5
point stamps in ‘settlement
when possible, reserving the
1 and 2 point stamps for loW-
point articles. Your storekeep-
er cannot give you “change”

retain at least one half of its
original points for each ration

4. Use. your point stamps
wisely — don’t run short of
stamps by buying, “high
point” foods where “low
point” foods will do. Buy only
what you need.
5. Plan your family’s diet
carefully—plan menus ahead
for a week or a month.—see

Army plaflfi' had dropped a
light bomb on the seaward side
of the sub and had washed it
uponto the reef—-a neat trick
if you can do it. The idea
was to capture the sub in-
stead of merely blowing it to
the flowery kingdom come,
which would have been easy.

in^h.rshbmarine had mnnag-
eoao swim .ashore, where
Army men .were waiting for
him. He wfas in his. Under-

anese request to be allowed
to shoot himself, in that he
had failed in his ipission* but
our men did not seem to care
for the idea. The prisoner
spoke fairly ^god English, but
he said he had learned it in
Japan. There was no trace of
the enlisted man who had
been in the two-man sub-
