1935

Quick on the heels of our recent publication of a note from Sax Ziemen comes another, this one dated May 3rd: Dear Gil-

There are a lot of other Navy Dartmouth men in the Sopac area besides the ones in Commander Markey's picture in a recent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Carrington '31 and Barrett and Woodman, both '38, were with me on the HORNET until she went down.

Up here on a little island known as Button I have recently met Bob Chehyl '38, Elmer Brown and Chet Brett, both '40, and Paul Lanius '42. We haven't a large or concrete enough group for an Alumni Club but we've had some fine informal reunions.

Best luck to you and the Class, J. S. (Sax) Ziemen '35, Lieut. USNR.

Sounds like things were anything but snarfu on Button, doesn't it?

MCCARTY ON SARONGS AND LEPERS

Our Marine Staff Sergeant Correspondent continues to rove around and really get around; listen to this, headed "In the South Pacific, June 6, 1943" .... Dear Jack—

It was mighty good to get your letter. I would have answered sooner, but have been busy with one thing and another, including one trip I recently took to see a little more of this vast Pacific area.

Appreciated all the news you relayed to me. I've heard from Tom Lane off and on, and just the other day had a letter from Ed Reed. Ed said he was scheduled to go into the Army the next week, though he plans to continue his feature.

Life in the South Pacific continues in its own languid way. The boys here tossed a dance last night which I wish you could have seen. An effort was made to round up some of the Island's more elegant gals, and a few showed up who even wore shoes. In asking them we had to be careful to state that the invitations were for the belles only, and that they could not, repeat NOT, bring all the members of their families. As is customary among the islanders, the girls, just before departing for home, gathered up all the left-over sand- wiches, pies, cakes, etc., they could carry. Quite a fashionable affair. I ran into a helluva coincidence yesterday. Visited a leper colony and what do I do but bump into a girl I knew back in Texas! Not one of the lepers—but a Navy -nurse attached to one of the hospitals out this way.

Things have been rather quiet on the military side. Myself, I would prefer more fireworks, but I suppose we'll be having them sooner or later.

I've been getting the MAGAZINE regularly. It comes late, of course, but I look forward to your column every month. Take care of yourself, Jack, and drop me another line when you get the chance. As ever, MAC.

Mac's avenue o£ approach is via: S/Sgt. Milburn McCarty Jr., address upon request. Ed Reed is a mutual friend, and his feature, of which Mac writes, is the daily cartoon series "Off the Record," and the Sunday feature "The Three Bears," which appear in many papers.

HERE AT HOME ....
