Southeast Valley Annual Jazz Concert and Pie Auction The annual Jazz Concert and Pie Auction was held on Feb. 16 in the Gowrie gym. Jazz I and Jazz II performed, as well as some choral groups and the Musical Theater group doing “Chicago.” The auction was a huge success due to great community, parental, and student support. Auctioneer for the evening’s festivities was Scott Klingson, who did a “more than fabulous” job getting the most money for each pie that was possible! Proceeds from the pie auc-tion went directly to the music students, who will use the money on their trip to Omaha Feb. 27-29. While in the big city, they will do the Zoo, take in a symphony perfor-mance, hear some live jazz at the Louisiana Jazz Kitchen, stay at a water park motel, and cap off the trip with a visit to the Dinner Mystery Theater. Mrs. Hanna, Mr. Louis, and all the band and choir kids would like to thank everyone for their dona-tions! Our school district ROCKS!

The Southwest Webster Ambulance service is ex-cited to add to their service a 2016 F450 Ambulance. It will replace a 2002 E450 Super Duty ambulance that has been purchased by Dayton Rescue. The 2016 ambulance is almost identical to the 2009 that the Service has been running, except this one is 4wheel drive. It does have a few more safety features on it to help

The Southeast Valley Jaguars won their first playoff game Thursday night against Manson-NW 79-59. Once again the Jaguars, Conference champi-ons, played a complete game, doing well offensively and defensively. The Jags had a relatively slim 34-30 halftime lead but they outscored Manson-NW by 16 in the second half, scoring 46 total points in the second half to 31 for Manson. Conner Conrad and Dakota Jaeschke led the scoring with 39 and 17 points respectively. And junior starter Alex Pliner stepped up with four points with 2-5 in field goal shooting and seven boards. Others scoring points were Myles Davis, 7; Caleb Jondle, 6; Logan Boerner, 4; and Cade King, 2. The Jaguars received a first round bye in districts for being ranked number one and then won convincingly Thursday night. The Jaguars also dominated the boards with 40 and top rebounders were: Jaeschke, 8; Davis, 8; Pliner, 7; Conrad, 7; Jondle, 2; and King, 1. Conrad and Davis each had three assists; King, Boerner, and Jondle, two apiece; Pliner, Jae-schke, and Nolan Johnson, 1 each.

Jaguars win first district game 79-59!Great shooting, defense. . .

Conrad was 11-21 in shooting; 6-11 from three range; and a team-leading 11-12 from the line. Jaeschke was 7-9 from the field, 2-3 from the line. The Jaguars record is now 18-3 and SV com-petes for the District Title against Garner-Hayfield/Ventura on Feb. 23 at Humboldt with a start time of 7 pm.

The 3rd and 4th grade students were asked to make posters and the 4 winning posters (out of 31 en-tries) would be made into signs that would be displayed on and around the Gazebo/Park. Great Job to all the stu-dents for the great posters!

Dayton Review

50 years ago from Feb. 24,1966 Review

The Dayton Community School District had an enrollment of 359 for the 1965-66 school year. Cen-tral Webster had an enrollment of 598. And Stratford’s school enrollment was 421. The cost per pupil was $509.13, Central Webster; $604.44, Dayton Community; and $440.29, Stratford. The Dayton Community Club had 40 members. Thirty-seven attended the meeting held in February at Bud’s Cafe. The Lehigh Local 522 Union are still on strike at the W.S. Dickey Clay Manufacturing Company at Lehigh. The strike is now entering the tenth day and was commenced at midnight Monday, Feb. 14. The strike involves about 180 men from the surrounding immedi-ate area and pickets are located at both entrances to the plant. Union negotiations involved an increasing work load while crew members were being reduced in some areas. In 1916, 50 years ago, Arnet and Mathilda Sw-enson went to Des Moines to hear President Woodrow Wilson speak. And in 1916, 80 acres of land was being sold for $4,000 as advertised by J.A. Nixon, Real Estate and Insurance. Herb’s Clover Farm was advertising potato bo-logna for 59 cents a pound. Mrs. Delma Bergman and Mrs. Kay Buenting were operating the Dayton Beauty Shop. Central Webster High School was staging the hit musical, The King and I. The production was under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Parr, vocal music instructor. Instrumental director is Mrs. Harriet Olson. The leading roles will be portrayed by Dick Hedeen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hedeen. He will be the kind and Anna will be portrayed by Lois Martinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Martinson. Dick is a senior and has won divi-sion one ratings in state speech the past two years. Lois, a sophomore, has also been awarded division one honors in vocal music.

Airman Charles Rodgers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rodgers, Pilot Mound, is serving with Training Squadron Four at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, FL. This joke appeared in the Review: Rev. Phelps was trying to talk a highway patrolman out of giving him a ticket for speeding the other day. “ “Please don’t give me that ticket,” he begged. “I’m just a poor preacher.” “I know,” the patrolman replied. “I’ve heard you.” Bananas were eight cents a pound at The Dayton U-Save Food Store. The Dayton Wranglers were meeting on Feb. 28. An oyster and chili supper is planned so please bring your own dishes. Community Club President Wayne Tell urged all members to attend the special March 2 school board meeting and advised members to plan floats for the Labor Day parade. Mr. and Mrs. Terry Galentine of Ames are the par-ents of an 8 lb., eight ounce son, Scott Daniel, born at Mary Greeley Hospital at Ames on Feb. 12. The grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Theodore (Bud) Demitroff of Lehigh and Mr. and Mrs. Dale Gallentine of Harcourt. Mrs. Gal-lentine is the former Linda Demitroff of Lehigh.

Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

Memory – “the store of things remembered – the time within which past events are remembered”. Those are a couple definitions Webster’s gave me. Thus I con-clude memory has a wide expanse that keeps enlarging as we add the years. In these jottings I have endeavored many times to reach back into those many years my life has covered forgetting some of the more recent events I definitely do not want forgotten. Thus I bring back some of the memories of mission trips to Jamaica. It was in 1998 that our church was first intro-duced to a group from St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, called Mission Jamaica. Our church “studied up” on the mission and decided we could recruit a group to make a trip. They are known as “va-cations with a purpose”, each session being from Sat-urday to Saturday. Our small group went in the winter of 1999 (I believe in early March), flying to Kingstson. We, fortunately, retrieved all our luggage, two each, one containing supplies for the elementary school we would be serving. The evening was waning as we boarded our waiting bus which took us to a “resort” some miles away up into the mountains. My roommate and I made it to our quarters only to find our key wouldn’t work. We eventu-ally got into another space which was clean though not what most people would expect of a Jamaican “resort”. I do not recall an evening meal so we may have eaten “snacks” we had brought with us. The next morning we found the scenery beautiful. The breakfast was a buffet at outside tables. As we went through the line the food looked very good and I know that I was one that took a generous scoop of what I thought were scrambled eggs, some toast, jelly and good Jamaican coffee. I remember asking if they had any catsup or mustard (either of which I like on my eggs). No, none was available. The “eggs” turned out to be a national “dish” called Akki (pro-nounced Ah-kee) and aptly named in my estimation. It is a “vegetable” that grows on a tree and looks some-thing like a ripened green pepper and MUST be cooked to not only be somewhat palatable but safe to eat. Catsup or mustard may a have helped.The next morning, since it was Sunday, we would attend church, of course, but it was a large Episcopalian one in the heart of Kingston. As we drove up to the facility we noticed something strange – sauntering across the top of a brick wall was a GOAT! We learned that even in this large Jamaican Capitol city it was not unusual to see goats

Vacation with a purpose... or cattle roaming the city streets as well as any roadway. The services were not too hard to follow – very similar to Lutheran. Children were dismissed for Sunday School but when it was time for communion they were ushered back in. There were four stations for communion – it was that large a facility and strange building as the con-gregation grew so did the building. Pews were not all directly facing the altar, yet the acoustics were good and the configuration such that we could participate. Following church we were bussed to our areas of mission service for tours. Hope Experimental School was quite a way from downtown Kingston and we were told, in a “rough” area. For such a beautiful tropical country we learned that this was a high crime area where a shooting had occurred just outside the gates of the highly fenced school grounds. The work would be varied such as repairs to areas or building of new, painting and some being with the children in their rustic classrooms. On Monday and each day of our Kingston stay, prior to breakfast, we gathered in a circle near our dining area for a short worship and communion. After my breakfast of toast and jam, we were again transported to the school, stopping by a clinic to drop off the medical missionaries with our group. The sizeable “front porch” was already crowded with people eager for some free medical help. The rest of us arrived at the school in time to be a part of their all student opening they did each day. My recollec-tion is that it included some scripture and a prayer. My friend and I went to a classroom to observe and tell them some about where we lived, how our children went to school etc. The wife of one of the young doctors serv-ing the clinic brought pictures of her three small chil-dren playing and sledding in Iowa snow. The children were as fascinated by those scenes as the children back in Iowa would be of the tropical beauty Mom would take to them. I was later assigned to help with ushering chil-dren in and out of the eye and hearing testing that was set up in a “spare” room. There were doctors from other mission groups who were doing those tests. Once it was determined a child needed glasses the problem was how they would be able to get them as most families couldn’t afford them. I know that was one of the problems MJ worked on.The children were all so loving and curious and delights. For an additional charge the school provided us a simple but ample meal each day and served it to us in the library

which MJ had helped to establish. I remember some of the food being quite tasty but also learned that if you have a meat dish such as chicken or goat (yes, goat) to be careful not to bite down on a morsel but to check it as they do not debone – just take a cleaver and chop, chop, chop. It was there that I first had my favorite Jamaican “treat”, a pattie, which is a meat (primarily) with deli-cious seasoning, filled crisp pastry. We learned of all the improvements MJ had been able to give to this school and what was planned. The playground equipment was updated and now safe; there were computers; plans for better desks than the wooden plank ones that remind you of prairie schools desks and new tables in the cafeteria. I’ll tell you more next week.

Congrats on telling the $100,000 clinic scam like it is! It may have been 45 years since I’ve last lived in Dayton, but I’m still in touch and visit often. I’m not always in agreement with the Review’s opinions, but this one is spot on!

“ Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven” Matthew 5:16

Are we letting our lights shine for God? When we are good to people and show them a kindness, even when they may not deserve it (whoops are we being judg-mental of others?) Whenever we do let our lights shine we are letting our lights shine for our God and Master. When we have a cheerful countenance, smiling at others, even when things are not going well for us, we still are setting a good example so that God will be glorified in Heaven. Most people are not overly impressed by our knowledge, but they are drawn to our God by letting oth-ers see our good works in Him. So, we need to look for opportunities and then let our lights shine for God. If we we bring honor to Him, He will in turn, honor us. He will pour out blessing after blessings into our lives. We need to find new and different ways in which we can let our lights shine for our Master!

This is Glenn Schreiber’s column written be-fore 2005 about the locally Swedish Supper in Boxholm at Trinity Lutheran Church. Getting a ticket to the Swedish Supper at Trin-ity Lutheran Church in Boxholm is akin to getting a ticket at Lambeau Field to see the Green Bay Packers. It’s just about impossible to get a ticket unless you are a “season ticketholder.” Trinity Lutheran at Boxholm limits tickets sold to 500 and the event is a sellout every year, just like a Pack-ers’ game. You have to just about know somebody to get a ticket to the Boxholm Swedish Supper. That’s because people who attend this event al-ways come back. As you are reading this, the event could very well be a sellout again next year. Well, there may be a little turnover, but not much. Ticketholders probably pass them on to relatives when they are ready to stop attending. The Swedish Supper is a fabulous event. It is very well organized, it offers superb Swedish food, and it’s a great bargain! The price is just $10, and you won’t find a deal like that anywhere else in our area. I went to an authentic Swedish Supper in the month of December at Becker’s Fine Foods in Pocahontas about 10 years ago. Carol Becker, the owner, was a great cook and I would say her meal was comparable to what Boxholm has. But 10 years ago her price was $12 and her small restaurant couldn’t serve anywhere near the people that Trinity Lutheran serves in Boxholm. It would also be fair to say that Trinity Lutheran produces much more food quantity. Aside from the great food and decor, I enjoy see-ing all the people that gather for this event. Rose Hall, Boone, was there with a group. Rose was a former teacher and coach in Dayton in the 1950s. Dick Liljegren walks by my table and says, “You have something missing from your plate.” I have to plead

This is Glenn Schreiber’s column written be-fore 2005 about the locally Swedish Supper in Boxholm at Trinity Lutheran Church. Getting a ticket to the Swedish Supper at Trin-ity Lutheran Church in Boxholm is akin to getting a ticket at Lambeau Field to see the Green Bay Packers. It’s just about impossible to get a ticket unless you are a “season ticketholder.” Trinity Lutheran at Boxholm limits tickets sold to 500 and the event is a sellout every year, just like a Pack-ers’ game. You have to just about know somebody to get a ticket to the Boxholm Swedish Supper. That’s because people who attend this event al-ways come back. As you are reading this, the event could very well be a sellout again next year. Well, there may be a little turnover, but not much. Ticketholders probably pass them on to relatives when they are ready to stop attending. The Swedish Supper is a fabulous event. It is very well organized, it offers superb Swedish food, and it’s a great bargain! The price is just $10, and you won’t find a deal like that anywhere else in our area. I went to an authentic Swedish Supper in the month of December at Becker’s Fine Foods in Pocahontas about 10 years ago. Carol Becker, the owner, was a great cook and I would say her meal was comparable to what Boxholm has. But 10 years ago her price was $12 and her small restaurant couldn’t serve anywhere near the people that Trinity Lutheran serves in Boxholm. It would also be fair to say that Trinity Lutheran produces much more food quantity. Aside from the great food and decor, I enjoy see-ing all the people that gather for this event. Rose Hall, Boone, was there with a group. Rose was a former teacher and coach in Dayton in the 1950s. Dick Liljegren walks by my table and says, “You have something missing from your plate.” I have to plead

guilty for not taking any lutefisk. I tried the dish last year and it just isn’t for me. But I like all the other Swedish dishes. Dora Hendrickson, Dayton, introduced me to the Swedish Supper last year. We sat with Allen and Bon-nie Croonquist, Moorland, and Dora’s cousin Marian Hen-drickson, Fort Dodge. They are all members of the First Covenant Church, Fort Dodge. For many years this Fort Dodge church had an annual Swedish Supper, serving about 650 according to Bonnie. But it’s a lot of work and commitment and the Fort Dodge church discontinued the Swedish Supper many years ago. Dora pointed out that people of all nationalities enjoy the Swedish Supper, including the Germans. At the next table I spotted David and Velma Kling, Harcourt. I turned and Alice Ozbun, Dayton, was in a group that was sitting down. There are three co-chairs that head this great Swedish Supper. They are Linda Swanson, Boxholm; Norma Henricks, and Gwen Scheetz. Donna Swaney, Boxholm, was explaining this to me. Kenny Peterson, Boxholm, the “other” Kenny Peterson, assisted in seating people and waiting on tables. Ken related that many years ago his wife Pat was a teacher at Dayton. And Gwen Peterson, Dayton, wife of Ken Pe-terson, was also a teacher there. “I remember when Superintendent Harold Rankin addressed a PTO meeting,” said Ken. “He said, ‘I see that we have the short Ken Peterson and the tall Ken Peterson in attendance tonight.’” Shorty Peterson, meanwhile, is the host at the Swedish Supper, greeting everyone at the end of the buffet line. The two Ken Petersons are not related, but the “short” Ken Peterson and Shorty Peterson are first cousins. Ed Peterson, Harcourt, Webster County Board member, was another Peterson at this event. I met people from many, many area communities, mostly within a 50 mile-radius of Boxholm. But one couple arrived from the state of Virginia. They attended last year also. They are originally from this area and visited relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday, extending their stay three more days to attend the Swedish Supper. The Swedish Supper in Boxholm is that special, and it has that type of following and loyalty.

Kyler Jondle off to state... Thursday morning Kyler Jondle walked the hall-ways just before departing for the state wrestling tourna-ment.

State Tournament... In the consolation first round Kyler wrestled Tyler Zieman of Cherokee and won his first State Tournament match 7-1 placing him in Friday's quarterfinals and 2nd round consolations for the right to place in the top 8 in the state. Photo by Emilea Lundberg.

By Coach Miller Freshman 160 lbs. Kyler Jondle got his first taste of the "Big Dance" Thursday, February 18th and 19th at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Tournament. In the

first round Kyler drew Senior Nick Long of East Marshall and lost a tough battle 12-4. In the consolation first round Kyler wrestled Tyler Zieman of Cherokee and won his first State Tournament match 7-1 placing him in Friday's quarterfinals and 2nd round consolations for the right to place in the top 8 in the state. Kyler awaited the loser of #2 ranked Zach Johnston of ADM and #3 ranked Jake Juhl of Independence. In Kyler's third match of the tour-nament he battled tough but lost 10-4 to Jake Juhl. You don't see very many freshman at his weight class wrestling in class 2A. This was a great learning experi-ence for Kyler, hopefully it will fuel him as he continues his wrestling career to get up on the awards stand Satur-day night. The coaching staff felt Kyler wrestled tougher as he progressed into the tournament. We are very proud of Kyler and what he accomplished in his first year of Varsity wrestling." Kyler ended his season with a 36-12 record.

Southeast Valley students perform for Drake Honor Band On Feb. 9, Hannah Peterson and Miranda Keith performed with the Senior Honor Jazz Band, under the direction of Andy Classen, at Drake University. This was Hannah’s fourth year that she was se-lected for this honor band. It was Miranda’s third year for attending. Miranda was one of the soloists for the tune “Spirit of New Orleans,” an Andy Classen original composition. Miranda is considering attending Drake University to study music, and Andy Classen was trying his hardest to get Hannah to come to Drake and play in his band, also! Students are selected by recommendations from Mrs. Hanna, and Andy Classen keeps track of who does well when they are in it the year before. If they bomb, they don't get asked back. If they do good, he chooses them again! He happens to absolutely trust Hannah and Miranda's playing abilities and their being prepared onthe music every year. Good job girls!

keep the patient and crew safe. We now have 5 point safety harness in the back, so that the crew can be buckled in even while treating a patient. In most ambulance accidents, the crew in the back of the rig is the ones that are most severely hurt due to not being buckled in. There is also more lighting around the outside of the rig for those night time calls on the roadways. We have the Chevrons added to the back of the ambulance that are reflective to also help with visibility at night. The service wants to continue to promote safety for the communities it serves plus the people who serve it. The ambulance response to an average of 165 calls in a year. A year ago it entered into an agreement with the Dayton Rescue to help cover their area (split between us, Stratford and Trinity) as they were lacking full time cover-age during the daytime. Due to this agreement, we are now covering a more hilly area, which will make the 4-wheel drive more important to have. The service has 2 ambulances in service.

Washington's birthday as National FFA Week in recogni-tion of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington's birthday.

National FFA Week did not start out as a week-long event. At first it was National FFA Day. The 1933 National FFA Convention Proceedings records the be-ginning of FFA Day in this way: "Stewart of Montana requested the floor at this time to present a matter of gen-eral interest. He suggested the idea of having a special Future Farmer Day some time during 1934, preferably on one of the regular national FFA broadcasting days. It was pointed out that the various state associations could perhaps plan special state broadcasts also on that day and that chapters might plan their father and son banquets on the date specified. The idea seemed to meet with gen-eral delegate approval and after some discussion it was moved by Stewart that the Board of Trustees arrange for such a day; motion passed."

Class of ‘57 mini-reunion Lunch time on February 17th, a sizeable minor-ity of the graduating class of 1957 got togther in Mesa, Arizona, near Phoenix. This get together has become a yearly mini-reunion out of the 18 who graduted that year. Of those in the picture two actually graduated that Spring and Mary Williams is the widow of Terry (LaMont) Williams, who also graduated that special day. Mary was from the DHS class of ‘58.

Also shown in the picture is Dennis Schmickley, whose father was superintendent of the Dayton Schools.

Cassie Zinnel had three free throws for 3 points. Morgan Castenson and Mady Jaeschke each had a basket for 2 points.

SV girls basketball comes to a close against Carroll Kuemper By Coach Coffman Southeast Valley Girls’ Basketball started re-gional play on Saturday, February 13, against Carroll Kuemper.

The Jaguar girls basketball team came out on top against GTRA 36-24

halftime, but could not hold on to that lead in the second half. They lost 35-47 to the Raiders. The Jags were led in scoring by Josie Breitsprecher. She scored 13 points. Cassie Zinnel started the game hot, hitting 2 three-pointers for 6 points. Aaliyah Scott added 5 points. Emma Graves had two baskets for 4 points. Erica Rittgers made a three-pointer for 3 points. Kasey Lundberg and Morgan Casten-son each chipped in 2 points on the night. Breitsprecher and Scott each grabbed 6 rebounds. Graves and Rittgers both pulled down 5 rebounds. The seniors are Kearsten Hainzinger, Cassie Zinnel, Josie Breitsprecher, Erica Ritt-gers, and Aaliyah Scott. The coaches would like to thank the five seniors for all of their time and hard work. They are a great group on and off the court. They will be deeply missed and are irreplaceable. The girls’ basketball team wishes them well in their future endeavors. A special mention is necessary for another player who will also be leaving us after this year. One of our district’s foreign ex-change students participated in basketball this season and despite her worries that she wouldn’t make it, she survived the whole season. Oumaima Zenati was a great addition to the Jaguar team this year and brightened everyone’s day. She made her first basket in a JV game against SCC on February 1. She will also be sincerely missed.

Southeast ValleyJV girls basketball team finish seasonBy Coach Sorenson Southeast Valley Junior Varsity girls basket-ball team took their last bus ride for the season, Monday, February 1st. by taking on South Central Calhoun. The Jaguars dropped the contest to the Titans, 26-34. Shelby Cummins rose to the challenge, leading the Jaguar offense with 11 points. Scoring seven points off free-throws. Cummins shot 7 of 10 from the charity stripe. Carson Shipley was a perfect 2 of 2 at the free-throw line and connected on a basket to finish with 4 points. Hannah DeVries put her shooting form to work, contributing 4 points for the Jaguars. Sammy Alphs went to work in the paint, resulting in trips to the free-throw line where she connected on 3 of 4. Alphs ended the game with 3 points. Cassidy Lambert powered in a bucket to finish with 2 points. Oumaima Zenati hit a jump shot to score 2 points for the Jaguars. Zenati helped the JV girls achieve perfection in the scoring category. Every person on the Jaguars JV scored this season. When Zenati’s shot fell, the entire team erupted off the bench to congratulate her. Zenati’s coaches could not have been more proud of her. It was one of our greatest moments all season long! We would like to extend a sincere gratefulness to show our appreciation for Oumaima Zenati joining our team this season. Even though it wasn’t always easy, Ze-nati showed what a true competitor is. She worked harder

than most people ever work and became a true Jaguar basketball player. Most people go through life without challenging themselves half as hard as Zenati did this season. This proves the kind of person she is, and we hope she gained as much from her experience with us as we did from having her on our team

Soutehast Valley JV host East Sac... The Southeast Valley Junior varsity girls hosted their last game of the season Friday, February 5th, against East Sac County. Despite a valiant effort, the Jaguars dropped the contest 23-33. The Jaguars went into half-time trailing 4-20. They went to work in the third quarter, outscoring the Raiders 11-6. In the fourth quarter the Jags did not give up, scoring six team points and only allowing ESC to score seven. The girls played tough defense the second half to make up for the cold shooting that plagued them in the first half. Once again powerhouse Shelby Cummins led the Jaguar offense with 6 points. Cassidy Lambert went to work inside to pound out 5 points for the Jags. Savanah Seehusen drained a three-pointer to end with 3 points. Ebony Scott, Lanie Nelsen, Lexi Corell, and Hannah DeVries all contributed a solid 2 points apiece. The Jaguar Junior Varsity girls finished their season with a record of 6-8 over all. Despite some ups and downs this was a very successful season for the Jag-uars. With such a young group, the future appears to be very bright. Growth and understanding of the game at the high school level is huge for our young squad. They have come so far together, and it will only get better. We would like to thank all the girls, on and off the court, for their hard work and dedication.

Dearest Folks, See that date - it was and is a very important one for both me and a lot of other soldiers. We got paid. Enough said - right. Well, my little envelope contained $54.20. When we came out of that little room I felt sort of funny, ‘Cause all the other fellows got about $80 or $90. They talk about having that much to go out on for another month and they probably do get rid of that amount, because at the end of every month they’re as close to broke as I am. But when I get back to my room, I can sit down and do a little figuring that makes me feel much better. For instance, they get their $90 but I know I have two war bonds heading for safe keeping while they don’t. You know we didn’t get paid for January until today -- that’s

the reason for the two month’s pay. I sort of have a guilty conscience because of the dough I received from you so I could come home on fur-lough. If I would have gone according to my means, I just wouldn’t have gone. But the wisest thing to do would be to ask you to “rack it up” for reasons I shall explain. You see there’s a heavy possibility that we won’t get paid for another two months as that is just what happens when a soldier transfers from one address to another. To be on the safe side I want to go carry on what I have and be able to take care of myself that second month. The above has been about money -- now on to some probably more important bits of news. Incidentally, I’ve finished my hardest days of the week - Monday & Tuesday. So I feel free to write letters. Sunday morning we got up at 7 a.m. and ate breakfast and at 8 a.m. about 100 of us were lined up for the Air Corps test. After a few screening tests - vision, color-blindness and records - we packed in seats to take the mental. It was rough and really, we had to figuratively beat our brains out. I finished about 3rd out of the 54 boys permitted to take it, and I didn’t get out until 12:20 p.m. I was notified I passed and the sergeant added that I got a very good grade. Thus it was. Monday I got a swell letter with birth certificate and fine letters of recommendation ( I had already re-ceived one from Troy and one from Dean Wald). I im-mediately handed them in at the Commandant’s Office and except for a physical exam we expected to take about 10 days, I was set for the Army Air Corps. Well, this noon after Classes, I found the certifi-cate and letters, on my desk here in my room Bad news!!! This morning they got a telegram from Washington say-ing that no ASTP boys were to be transferred. That does that and it sort of made me blue for a while. What is to happen to us we don’t know. According to that official bulletin, something is supposed to pop between now and the first of April. At least if I ever again got the chance, I will have passed the test and have on hand the necessary papers. Until we get further word though, the above ex-plains the situation ahead of us. I enjoyed a very interesting weekend, and am looking forward to next Saturday after inspection. Scott, Sunstrum and I tore off to the movie “Desert Song” and

had a hamburger apiece for supper. Then we came back here and got dressed up in our tuxes for a big evening ( you can guess what kind of tux we wore!). Anyway we had gotten stag invitations to the Colonial Ball over at Southern Seminary in Buena Vista 6 miles away. Southern Sem. is a girls school and this Ball was their gala affair of the year. Some boys from here had date invitations and had to fork out $4 for corsages, but all we paid was .75 cab fare. Talk about beautiful women and they dressed formally in a Colonial sort of way. Plenty of guys in tails too. We had more fun messing around just trying to make the evening miser
