Speaking of Orchestras, the MFSS JULY 5TH OPEN POST RECEPTION swing band w ill make an appearance in the SURPASSES LIBERAL EXPECTATIONS near future on the lawn near our P-X. It is an event we await with pleasure. Several hundred townspeople and relatives of 32nd students were present at the ball game at Biddle Field Monday morning. The cro^d increased after lunch and by the time of the formal review and .retreat ceremonies there appeared to be more visitors than students on the post. The open house period, during which time the v isito rs inspected the livin g quarters, saw a constant stream of people making the inspection under the direction of members of the group s ta ff. A great crowd of students and visitors' were pre­ sent on the lawn near the P-X during the concert by the orchestra and choir. In the evening ’hen the students were allowed open post a large contingent from the 32nd attended the show at Stark F ield .. As a matter of record, we feel it incumbent upon us to report the multitude of compliments the civ ilia n friends and visitors made regarding the attitude and Tie’ s been hanging around ever since orderliness o f the detachment.
