J. D. ROBERTS, BaTTalion Commander QUARTERDECK In keeping wiTh The impeTus given our smokers lasT semesTer by having Them aT Lake Anza, a place where we can'T sTain Tables and floors wiTh The ineviT- able overflow of good cheer, our beer busTs oT This semesTer were also given over To naTure. BUT no longer did we disguise Their obiecT wiTh The name of smoker , They were beer blows spelled wiTh such a capiTal B ThaT The park warden developed a pro- boscis durus when he discovered ThaT his lake was rapidly becoming 3.2. The aTTernoons quickly passed wiTh various chug- a-luggings and ball games always in evidence. Though when all was done, no one had enough oT a memory leTT To remember To bring The TooTballs back. ForTunaTely, however, someone had enough presence of mind To pile The saTuraTed sTiTFs in his car and de- posiT Them in TronT of Callaghan. IT was remarkable To noTice how, The more oiled DuTTy's vocal cords, The more unbounded his choral reperToire became, Though iT was all The more amaz- ing To noTe how iTs characTer changed The momenT of The arrival oT l.ieuT. and Mrs. LighT. All in all, Lake Anza is a beTTer place Than mosT To spend a TroThy aTTernoon, and iT is wiThouT any reservaTions ThaT we say They were 4.0 or should we say 3.2. BACK ROW: Duffy, G. W., l-leumann. J.
