Our Booster du lieu suivant : Jewell, Kansas • 2

Page two OUR BOOSTER soldiers, movie actors and lodge officers get to wear. By actual count Lieut. Pence has a greater list of adjectives than William Jennings Bryan had at the same age. Pence has had to use all of them, too, since he has been in the service and has had to write letters home to the bank folks that we have passed on to you through the Booster. He is still the assistant cashier of this bank, and his first Saturday afternoon at home was spent at the bank counter where he dealt out smiles and hand shakes and dollars just like he did six months ago, and just as he will do when we get Kaiser Bill properly squelched.

Pence could always talk faster than any other debater on the high school team, could kick a football a little higher and a little farther than any any high school player that the town ever produced. He has a gold medal or something-or-other that you and I will never see, for running a typewriter faster than anybody else in the business college. He always was the champion long distance snare drum player and later when he learned to play a slide trombone he could make as many or more blatty notes than all the rest of the trombone section combined. So judging from all these speed and endurance records, when old Pence gets turned loose with a speed Spad scout machine and an old Lewis machine gun, look out, you German rabbits, you will have to think up something worse than "devil Pence's favorite food is anything his mother cooks; his favorite pastime is twisting the lock of hair that hangs just above his forehead; his favorite young lady friend, well, that depends a great deal on what town he is in when you ask him about it. TOM McCLUNG GRADUATES.

"Graduated, no orders yet." This was the message that we received from Tom on Saturday, June 22, and we are willing to lay a good sized bet that he walked into the telegraph office, stepped clear over the counter and did a fox trot on the top of their desks when he sent the message. We had a fair sized jubilee here ourselves when the news arrived. We know just how the boy felt after the months of planning for that very day. Incidentally, graduation day was also his birthday. When Tom tried to get into the aviation corps about a year ago, a wise old doctor's eye gave him the once over while he was dressed in his Adam clothes, and told him to beat it to a skin specialist.

This took a lot of time and money and finally when they did pass him and they left him waiting here in Jewell for about three months before he got orders to report to Berkeley,.
