Today it is our pleasant privilege to acknowledge that to no other single group of such persons is gratitude due in so large a measure as to the several ladies and the many GSO girls who serve in the canteen. It is hopeless to hazard even a guess as to how much it has added to the fellows’ enjoyment to have these friendly, cheery volunteers present to talk to —or, in the cases of the very shy fellows, to have them there just to look at. (Furthermore, without their help it would be an impossi- Iblmy for the Club to keep the can- teen open anything like as long as the present hours of from 10:00 a.| m. to closing.) By way of expressing our apprec- iation a bow is due also to our full- time canteen staff, comprised of| Mrs. E. L.

Thompson, known to his many friends in Ju- | neaun as Emmett, is now with the‘ 506th Parachute Infantry in Eng-| land, according to a V-mail letter | received in Juneau by Mr. and Mrs, Rudy Labrash. The letter was written on January 21 and Thompson stated he had been to London tw visited the many interesting sights and inci- dentally praised the American Red Cross for their most efficient serv- ice rendered Thompson has been with the para- | chuters for the past two years. His outfit holds the record for 300-foot jumps freom planes traveling 150 | miles an hour and also {raveling 138 miles in three days. Thompson left Juneau about three years ago and lost no time iy getting into the armed service. Friends will remember him as the owner of the Checker Cab Service here and later he drove for both the Royal Blue and Yellow Cab companies. He was also prominent in the younger crowd of the Resurrection Lutheran Church.

This brief tribute to the ladies would not be complete without a final paragraph in which we. toss out.a speculation as to the possible depth and scope of the. impression that may be made in the coirse of a meal ‘or two when GI meets GSQ in the form of a gorgeous gal play- ing winsome waitress. It is simply speculation, mot computation, you understand—we'd not have a no- tion just where to begin. The sort of thing that makes“it tough going is exemplified by a recent letter o the 'Club Director from a certain bandsome lad' in ‘the Army (who| shall be nameless) relative to a certain charming GSO lass ealso rcmaining nameless.) She remains nameless to you just as ske is at this moment, nameless to him. It is the said GI's earnest hope, how- ever, that her state of anonymity may very soon be alteréd. In his letter, after an attempt at a de- scription of the fair lady, he re- quests her full name and addrass, adding: “I ecan't figure out just what the score is; but I've had the 3al-on my mind almost constantly :ince- leaving Juneau.
