Dear Doc:

You should be in the throws of another summer session.
I'm curious to know if you are still conducting Doc Allen's
“Happy Hour on the Hill",

| Our tempo of ewtertainment has been stepped up to
where we need a swing shift to get the job done. Soumds like
we are plenty busy, but I like it and my weight seems to stay
up in spite of it. This month we are having Dick Haymes and
Helen Forrest, Clyde Lucas's Orch, Joan Leslie, a piano

team of Natiomal renown, and “Bobo’the Magician. This is in
addition to our regular fiwe picture shows a day.

Lucy is still here and trying to enjoy this suffering
hot weather. The humidity of this country is terrific anda
you can just stand around and perspire.

Sam Barry has been transferred to Chicago and Lt.Cdr.
Larry "Moon" Mullins is our new athletic Officer. We have had
some good bull sessions already concerning our past contests
between St. Benedicts and Rockhurst. Takes our minds off the
war which is good. Naturally, being statiomed in the states
one does'nt feel the effects of the war like some of our
fellow Kansans, but the fact that the war is still on is
a depressing ome and the sooner its over the happier we will
all be e

My very best regards to all the Allens and Henry Shenk
and family.

Sincerely,

! Mavregl roo
