season the Saturday afternoon football games were just the right tonic to kick the kinks out of a work- laden brain. Then when winter came there was basketball. He participated both as spectator at the football field and field house and as player in the gym. Whether it was basketball, handball, swimming, gymnastics or nothing more strenuous than lounging under the sun lamps, Rockne Me- morial facilities were always open to the lXIid- Shipman. Sunday afternoon, short though it was, always was spent best at the Service Center Tea Dance 'held in various spots around town. It invariably shaped up as just the right prescription to round out a week-end before heading home for homework. There is one more phase of Hescapew which should not be overlooked. If you noticed a swarm of Midshipmen going in the general direction of the South Shore Station any Saturday afternoon, you should not have been alarmed. It wasn,t a mass exodus from the Navy but just the first relay of the Chicago Commuters Club performing its weekly ritual. Those who lived in or near Chicago and those who preferred the brighter lights ofthe Loop to those of South Bend were religious in their devotion to the South Shore. These, then, were some of the offerings that came our way during l,ibt'rty and Shore leave hours. We werejglad to get home now and then and it was no reflection on the hospitality of South Bend that many of us wanted to get back more often, But while we were here, they did make us more comfortable. They did all they could and that was much more than they had to do. If you don't think we're grateful and if you don't think we en- joyed it, just walk up to one of the lklidshipmen after he gets his commission and ask him. And donit forget to salute! H861
