It is indeed a pleasure to us all to have our hero of New Guinea, Sgt. ! Robert Doran, with us every week- ; end. Since his recent reassignment I to duty at Fort Sheridan, it is possible for him to see his parents every : week, a pleasure denied him for the i past three years while fighting the ! Japs thousands of miles away from home. If we can give credence to j recent reports we may soon have the pleasure of seeing his recent beauteous bride, 'Wave Jerry Doran, i Y 1 /c, every weekend. At the risk of giving out military secrets we predict her early transfer from Wash- ! ington, D.- C., to Naval Intelligence in Chicago. Here is hoping! Sgt.
