HEADLINE HUNTERS

During the past year a number of men have received notices in either one or all of the periodicals available to our company.

Some were as follows:

A picture in the "Ivy leaves" show Sgt. George A. Duerr lecturing to his class in business arithmetic at the Schweinfurt Education Center.

Appearing in the "Stars and Stripes" and "The Army Times" was an article about Lt. Joseph Jacobs and M/Sgt. Woodrow W. Brown
delivering a calf. The article made reference to "mother and child are doing fine". This was done shortly after they had set-up
a forward aid station in a barn.

The "Ivy Leaves" has published the names of the men attending the various schools since our arrival in Germany.
Among them where: Sgt. James Kennedy Jr, Sgt. Irving Weinshal and Cpl. George Coleman graduating from the 22nd Inf.
NCO Academy. Both times men from Medical Company have attended the Medical School at Degendorf, Germany, they have
walked away with all top honors. In the first class Sgt. Marvin Evans was first, Sgt. Douglas Terpe was second and
Sgt. Stanley Piehler was third. The same thing happened in the second class; Pfc. Stanley Waterstraat, first; Cpl. Toru Honda,
second; and Pfc. Carl T Samson, third. At the Signal School, Camp Gordon, Ga., Pfc. Neil C. Hyslep placed second in his class.

Recently in the "Ivy Leaves" an article carried Pfc. Garland Bockey as individual high scorer in league bowling: 231.
Medical Company also appeared with team high: 894.

Many articles in "Post-Argus", "Stars and Stripes" and "IvyLeaves" have carried our division touch football champions
and its individual stars. Stars such as Morey, Engebretson, R. Russell, etc. have had pleasant notoriety

The training aid for the mock appendectomy designed by Sfc. Andersen was carried in the "Ivy Leaves"
along with a description of the operation.

As Medical Company rolls along garnering more honors we expect them to be known to all EUCOM by means of these perodicals.
