Thousands of axis warriors surrendered this month as Uncle Sam cre- ated havoc for enemies in North Africa while we emphasized religion, defeated all com- ers wanting our 'state's best' grid title, and held our annual Sadie Hawkins dance in Dogpatch style.

September . . . Month of orientation hand- shaking, September found us organizing clubs, electing officers, attending greencap 'board sesions and getting back to colle- giate swing while bomb-torn Stalingrad was the scene of 'house-to-house' fighting.

Gandhi refused food in another of his fasts for In- dia. Page 8
