SCUTTLEBUTT

With this issue this columnist bids fare well to NTS and HARVARD SERVICE NEWS journalism. In response to absolutely no requests, this final effort is dedicated to the detacheed of 28 January.

Following is a tentative schedule of graduation agenda of the Junior class--10-43-NTS Harvard. Class flower: spinach; class motto; Horas omnes reported Most likely to succeed: Admiral King; most handsome: Lt. (jg) Robert Taylor; Best duty: Betty Grable (howinhell did that get in here?)

Also customary in respectable quarters is that time-honored tradition of passing on various items possessed by departing brethren, no longer essential in the business at hand. We subscribe to this heartily, and now proceed to disseminate these loose objects--after careful, judicious perusal.

CLASS WILL

We the departing members of 10-13, having mind and body, do hereby take the opportunity to pass on, and, in some cases to re-assign certain properties extant upon this campus:

First, and foremost, we bestow upon the staff (bless'em) our fond felicitations and trust that they will carry on in the true Harvard tradition. . .May they act with caution, dignity, and continue to administer according to the dictates of their infinite wisdom. . . . To Brother Busch, a baseball bat, a pencil eraser, a bad memory, who dozen boxes of aspirin, and the latest edition of Watch-Bill Drafting Made Easy. . . . Mr. Flanigan: Bottle of Kreml, giant size. . . . Mr. Wires: a new call sign. . . . to Hopf and Peachie (the Mighty Mite): free and unrestricted access to sick bay, provided they haven't taken quarters there first. . . . Elemendo Rossi: (lately hitched) a copy of Cl to occupy his off-hours and weekends. . . . To Long: our notes, assiduously compiled in radio engineering. . . . McCarthey: Recommendations for a staff billet. . . . Newnam: a calendar to be used on his next leave. . . . Mr. Glennon: an unexpurgated copy of "Gertie from Bizerte" for classroom use. . . . Then, of ciurse, we cannot forget OUR BOY . . . to OUR BOY we leave the following: some assorted grimaces, a half-dozen new stances, our love, and a New Revised copy of School Regs. . . . Corley: the telephone number of the best decorated bank in Cambridge (especially the rear windows). . . . "Feather Merchant" Cassell: A set of life rafts in case of unseasonal heavy rains in the Boston area--size 14. . .. AND, to SINBAD: anything he dam well wants! . . . ditto the rest of you guys--this is thirty from Oz.
