"OUR DILBERT"
Since we are all huttman. it is
possible for us to make mistakes.
Some of us iiake wor,e mistakes -
than others and therefore will be
more sharply ridiculed by our fei
lowtan. The Navy has given thesc
"boner-makers" a namie. "Dilbert" I:
is the title given to these unfortu- (
nate victims of fite. Sad to say, we
all at some time or other, have beet
or vii he a ''Dillert".
Starting with this edition and Con. tt
tinuing in every edition hereafter, r
we will present one of our own I
")ilberts". Ie may bt your room- c
mate, the fellow arross the hall. or t
even yourself. So, if you (1o not want
to be honored by appearing in this
column, keep on your toes. If you
must pull a "Dumb one," (o it when
no one is around.
This article is written to provide
humor for all anud malice toward
none.
The first cadet to be lionored
Iy appearing in this coluntt. is
\\'ally %A\\l.lISKI, of Batt. 4A.
It was a sunny Saturday after- I
noon and the "Fickle Finger of
Fate" was on the prowl. t adet
A\\'F I SK I, tired and worn out
after a hard day of tests, was walk
ing dowr lai Street on his way
to spend a happy weekend in New- I
berry. After being restricted two I
weeks in a row, he was overjoyed
at his new won freedom. "Tt's
wonderful to be free", lie must have
thought as he proceeded on his
way. In fact his thoughts mttust have
really been up in the.clouds, because,
as lie approached two Army Avia
tion cadets, lie threw up the snap
piest salute ever st en.
Of course, .A\\\'.lSKI l made an
excuse that the si: was in his eves
and that their Gold collar in.signia
looked like bars, but never has there
beeni a cutiissioned officer \\ ho
wore a buck privates unifortn, a
hat witl a black batld arotd it and S
a big propellcr on the front. No
.A\\'FISKI. that excu'e don't go.
