It Has boon a humdinger*- the week of weeksl Hot an
idle moment*—not a bit of tine for a nan t > get that lones )mo f ■
in^t- but a tine fillec full with tin'’ills* excitement and enjoyment*
V/e fool sure that there is n 3t a nan in the partisan for whom it was not
a very ’‘I.Iorry Christmas, ” xr.d here’s the \;ay it happened.
The Post Smoker*
Ch Christmas Week was ushered in with a hiyu Post Smoker in the
Gym on Friday evening i)oc. 23rd,. The inly soldiers on the Post who
■wore not there wore the patients in the Hospital* and they were sorry
to miss it* The festivities started with a couple if ”TY/0 Minute
Talks” by Chaplain Monahan and Lieut* Sebroe* and f or a wonder both
orators kept inside the tine limit. Sergt. Goraghty then introduced
Sergt. Hashy as the B iss if the Ring* and three rattling good bouts
were staged* to the ; roat delight of the spectators, ”Kid” Runetsch
\/as awarded the decision over ’’Limey” Ford on a claim of foul* after
one round of furious battling, -’’One Round” Parrish and ’’Tennessee” Hoss
then went thrde rounds of skookun scrapping to a draw. ”Tex” Hinitz
and ’’Young Joe Grin” Dunham then st iod toe to toe for three rounds,
and handed each other s me real haymakers* but both refused to fall*
and Sergt. llasny v;as f orced to declare the natch another draw, The bout*
were good* mighty good, and the big crowd howled their appreciation till
the foof was lifted about two inches*
The talent was then brought out of hiding by Sergt. Goraghty .
Pvt* Grenon obliged with a fine tenor sol o* and we all know how
Henry can warble. The ’’post Quartette”, C rp. Morris* Pvts, Grenon*
Brewick* and maxwell* with pvt. petitti at the piano then rendered
several selections in a pleasing manner. Mile. Maxwollie* with her
dancing partner* Pvt. Dan powers* then showed us the latest "Dance
Parisienne”* oven is she had ti display her dimpled knees and rolled
down sox to do it. The n >torious Mr.o. Has hie, direct from the jungles
of Hindustuky* then put on the hit .f the night* in here infamous
’’Dance of Cleopatra”* He~wo meam',she”« was one scream-* and so was her
costume*- wheat there was of it. Pvt. Maxwell then recited ’’The Shooting of
Dan McGrew” in a most dramatic manner., assisted by Pvt. Grenon at the
ivories. Amoving picture comedy*-with Al"st. John as the star*- was
almost shown* but at the critical moment the new electric plant did
us dirt*-and we had to go without it. A fine lunch )f of foe and doughnut
was then served* and the rest of the evening ;iven up to stag’ dancing,
ihe thanks of the whole Post are cert, ijly uue Capt© Go >do,. who promot
ed the affair, and Sergts. Geraghby and i ndruszkiewicy* who put it
over And the best part of it is that Qiptc Goode promises us more
smokers like it.
