There are Margie maidens The TECO ECHO and Gayle, Margaret and Lancy, Jordan and Braden, Boe and Pete, Louise and Vehon, Kat and Stephenson, Betty Edwards and Tommy, Mary Alice and Wes, Anne Hardy and Waste, Inez and Diney, Kilgo and Dick, Jerry and Scrugg, Charlotte and Beech, Iris and Hooper, and gosh knows how many more twesomes. If you girls can hook ’em, more power to you. Speaking of Lt.’s we wonder who won the final roun dover Les Hicks (Billy Greene’s double) last Saturday night? He walked Blimp home, but we have a feeling Brock and Kelly won't give up that easy. istance hasn’t seemed to hinder the sof Faye’s love life—but we imagine that it will fair even better since he has been sent to Cherry Point. Speaking of dis- tances, Boe, who do you think of Pete’s girl dropping down from Boston for the week- end, or was it longer? Have you noticed that gleam in Molly’s eye this week? We hear that Buddy is com- ing. Gosh, more dope for seumming coming up. pl prog Iris Herring’s man Hooper puzzles us. First we hear he’s picked out the ring and named the day, now he’s being seen with Elwanda Coker, What goes? Well, at last Goggin will meet that Cor- respondence friend of hers. It seems that he is now at Ft. Bragg and will fly down most any time. Maybe al lof us should spend a week- end in Baltimore if we could come back with a sparkler like Margaret Butler. We find that most of the girls stick either to Lt’s or enlisted men, but not Dot Jarvis. She dates enlisted men during the week and saves the weekend for officers. It seems that Marine Frankie has got- ten to be quite a Casanova. He has been dividing his time between Lota Caine, Jean Asbell and Hazel Branch. Doesn’t seem to worry the girls, though—you see Lota around quite a bit with that handsome ‘“‘Sin- atra’ Blackie, who croons at all the dances. Jean likes Frenchie even if he can’t speak English and we find it impossible to keep up with all of Hazel’s boy friends. We got it from a reliable source that Ruby White and her Marine have dfeinitely decided they can get along without each other. Lately we can’t write a scumming column without Maddrey trying to hog the type lines. But it seems that her activities warrant mention. Now, it’s dating J. B. Smith every night. Did she snake on M. Lewis or just what happened? Have we not done enough gossiping? So until next time we remain the Keyhole Korrespondent, one who hears all, sees all, knows all and, above all, tells all. WITH THE ARMED FORCES By Rosalie Brown r back to ECTC we find Virgil g¢ around on a 17-day furlough. | stationed at Kelly Field, Virgil is with the ground crew of my Air ferce. His work will be load- bombs and amunition. Of the work he ys, “It should be interesting, but I haven’t en there long enough to do the actual work, . only practicing. When I asked him the volish question “does it feel good to be home” I got this: “You're dog-gone-tootin’ it feels good, and the ECTC girls look better all the time.” eke oe It seems that Jim White and Carl “Dinky” Whitehurst are still sticking to- gether. They are both stationed at Camp Stewart, Georgia. Says “Dinky’—‘‘Not New Georgia, only a coward would ask for a station like that after being here.” He is presently employed as the General’s steno- grapher and says it is a very interesting job. “Jim White just arrived a few days ago so the two former ECTC side-kicks are still hand-in-hand (don’t quote).” He says “don't quote,” so I just couldn’t help quot- ing. ‘Naturally 1 am very interested in what is happening at the dear old campus during this springy love-sicken weather.” says Carl, and we understand, naturally, when he used to be one of contributers to what happens ‘‘when a young mans fancy turns... .” not so long ago. * = * * Pvt. Harry (Shacky) Jarvis has ar- rived in Australia and says he did every- thing at his first station from K.P. to load- ing food and ammunition. Shacky spent four weeks taking a course in Army Admini- stration which dealt mostly with administra- tion in his present Theater of Operations. Shacky says his mail hadn’t caught up with him since January and he sure would like to hear from some of his former classmates and teachers. His address: Pvt. Harry J. Jarvis, 5th Camp Hg. S Camp Co., APO 923 c/o P. M. San Francisco, California. * + ae An interesting letter came from Lt. Fodie Hodges to Dr. and Mrs. Beecher Flanagan. He was in landing operations against the Japs on Engehi and Parry Is- lands in Enewitok Atoll, in the Marshalls and “as usual the Marines came out victori- ous, with few casualties. I went through the first operation untouched, but in the second I was sort of surrounded by Japs and got a slug from one of their .25 caliber weapons in my left hand and a small piece of shrapnel in my left arm. I was evacuated back to the beach and ship where I received expert medical attention and my arm is almost well and my hand as good as new. Guess I didn’t stay on my stomach enough, but our commanding officer says ‘“‘we can’t get the Purple Heart lying down.’”’ At the time his letter was written in early March Fodie was stationed on an island where the men were resting. On one occasion the Negro Marines stationed there gave a show: dancing, boxing, singing and other things. One was from Greenville and was glad to see someone from Eastern Carolina. “What is all the news back there, I miss hearing from school and would love to receive a few copies of the TECO ECHO or anything else concerning the school. When I get back I will hardly know the place.” Lt. F. H. Hodges, USMCR, Co. A., Ist Bn. 22nd Ma- rines, c/o F.P.0. San Francisco, Calif. * * * * William L. Shelton recently sent a let- ter to the paper saying: “I was very happy to receive the school paper today and all the other issues that I have received since I have been overseass. It is good to be able to tell the boys that I use to go to ECTC and men- tion all the good things that all of you are doing to help this war. One thing that you are doing is helping me directily and that is rolling and folding bandages, it takes a lot so keep up the good work.” William is a pharmacy mate 1/c and is wit hthe First Marine Division F. M. P. “Of the few form- er ECTC students who have given their lives for their country, two were very close to me; Thomas Meeks was my music teach- er and band leader my last year of high school, and O. D. Andrews was my room- mate. All of us can’t win decorations in this war, as for me I am trying to do my little part to help out. I was in on the landing at Cape Glousester, New Britain and for mili- tary reasons I can’t mention any other place I have been, but I can assure you that I have seen plenty.” he says. His address is: W. L. Shelton PHM 1/c U. S.Navy, “E” Co., 1st Med. Bn., First Marine Division F. M. F., c/o F. P. N., San Francisco, Cali. At long last we have heard from our old friend George Patterson, now an ensign in the Navy servin gaboard the U.S. S. Ayl- win. He writes, “About three days ago the first Teco Echo I have seen for over a year arrived. Aolng with it came about a dozen more.

J know, I know you don’t have the time; there’re plenty of us who are turning into regular pale-faces ‘cause we don’t get enough Vitamin D. But a nice deep tan can be a wondrous thing— witness the Physical Education majors and other out-door girls who've been frequent- ing the tennis courts of late. Cute- You bet! The with-what for a come-hither look on tennis courts or bicycling or just walking in the sun is found in pages of oh-so-cute play clothes in all the latest fashion maga- zines. Mademoiselle suggests for playing in sun a crisp fresh cotton dress in red, brown or black checks. ‘Tis really an airy-topped number, but comes with button-on sleeves which are merey a boero in minature. A fu skirt competes the picture—you, the dress, with buttoned-on sleeves, ready and rearing for classes; yoo, the dress minus sleeves ready and pitching for play. Vogue shows a brown cotton jumper with gatheren skirt and piping in white rope; perfect for boating (where’), bicye- ling, tennis, or what-have-you. If you're the type what has a cute mid- riff, you'll like the cotton sun dress; its memories that they brought to me. News about fellow classmates in the service, “Scumming” (my favorite column) happen- ings on the campus and pictures of people I know and love to call myfriends put together to make a big bundle of joy. Now I ain't homesick but—I “sho” would like to be there for one more dance. My what a time “‘you- all” must have. In case you don’t know I’m on a “can” (destroyer) the best in the fleet (Maybe I'm partial!) Since getting on this baby I’ve been all over hell an dhigh water (mostly high water )and when I say she get’s around I mean in more than one way (rock, rock, bounce, bounce). Don’t guess you all hear much about “cans” but when ever anything happens “somewhere” a num- ber of them manage to be there. Also she misses more mail calls than any ship in the fleet! Tell everybody “hello” and keep the dances humming—I’ll be back.” We hope it won’t be long, either, George. You were quite the hep cat in your day. His address: Ens. George A. Patterson, U. S. S. Aylwin, c/o F,. P. O., San Francisco, Cali. ime. Word comes from James E. Bullock that he is enjoying life in the army in Eng- land. “England is a nice place, very quaint and historic. I have more fun going to old bookships, brousing and buying a few.” James says he has done a lot of thinking since he left the states and when he comes back he is going to finish college so he can teach. More power to you, we say, James.
