It was WRAINts 4077th MASH party, located in the WRAMC thcerts Club ballroom on 29 April 77, and another chance to indulge in the enjoyable art of mas- querade. To make it attractive, men from Ft. Belvoir, Naval Academy and local fraternities at Maryland were invit- ed. Costumes which included scrub outfits, patient gowns, surgeon caps, well-wom fatigues and even sheets were worn by most of the crowd to create the illusion of yet another MASH escapade. The WRAIN MASH party was the brainchild of CPT Watson and emcient- 1y organized by Sharon Speidel and Jan McCluskey, MASH co-chairpersons; Jackie Echard, equipment acquisition and decorations; Paul Smith, food; and a number of dedicated juniors who assist- ed with both decorating and planning. Scenes from the party included Klin- ger, alias the red-dressed Randy Caltrid- er, who entered to an enthusiastic welcome and received an ttenduringtt kiss from an overzealous Marine, as the strains of ttSuicide is Painlesstt started the party. The DJ had caused some anx- iety by arriving late from Richmond but made up for his tardiness by playing a good selection of dance songs and stay- ing an hour late.
