Jake Hunter, Ex-Thespian, Writes From Fort Benning Memories of pre-war Thespian shows and former Thespians sneaked up on us as we came upon this letter from J. D. "Jake" Hunter, '43, prominent member of Thespians and one of the famous "Three Stooges.". Jake, who wrote the letter while he was in Infantry Officers' Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia, addressed i 1 to Sock Kennedy '26 and the Thes pian gang. The letter follows.: Dear Sock and the Thespian Gang: The cream of the American fighting men, Candidate Hunter, J. D., decides that the home front needs a little morale building, so he takes up his G.I. typewriter— a Schaeffer Special—and sends a few words of encouragement to those hapless individuals who are . compelled to live in the abject horror and hellish nightmares of beer parties and dances in State College, Pa. God, what nerve it must take to stand the strain. Nothing, day in and day out but• the torture of eight hours a week and a . hangover every morning. Sometimes I feel guilty when I sit down in a foxhole, light a ciga rette, loosen my 27-pound pack, take off .my steel helmet, squeeze the water from my shoes, wipe the mud,from my face, brush the sand from my delicious appetizing meal of cold beans and soggy bread and realize that those folks up at State never let down or rest like I'm doing at the moment. They have to keep going, grinding away, plodding at getting a musical com edy out in the next few months. They never get a chance to sprawl in gooey mud and really relax! I feel like such a heel! Think of it! Poor Sock Kennedy sweating and straining for hours under those hot Klieg lights,'fight ing the terror that there •won't be a show . . . lylim Zartman, bless . her heart, pounding away night after night on the stage; dancing her lovely• legs until they ache,- only to realize that nothing lies' ahead but a steak sandwich at. Doggie's after it's all over . . .• Jimmy Burden, living on ciga rettes, beer, and sheer nerve while he goes through the weeks of ten-: sign that . are so much ' a part writing a musical score . : . Good, old Pat Lamade • pounding the piano until she is ready to: drop, : only to hear the, hoarse cry . to "Shape up, kids, we're taking it. , again!" Oh, Lord, thanks for such noble, Steel-nerved, courageous„ -never-quitting people such as thes e that I have left behind to guard' my treasures. Hiya, gang! D'ya miss , me? Boy, •oh, boy, if you could only see the- FRIDAY, APRIL 28,1944 Stooge now! You'd never know him. His fingertip, draped sport coat is now a field jacket; his plaid-lined raincoat is now a ten pound G.I. overcoat; his dirty sad dle shoes are now dirty field shoes and leggins; his pork-pie hat• is now a keel helmet; now, instead of carrying his perionaltelongings in a Metzger notebOok, he carries them in a full field pack; his beer supply is now close to him in- a tin 'canteen that dangles on his tail assembly. Now, instead of dodging the perils of College avenue traffic and the Saturday night rush to the Eatland, he merely has to crawl throtigh barbed wire, with ma chine guri bullets shortening his G.I. haircut, land mines throwing mud into his teeth, and listen 'to officers chew him up and dov;in because he doesn't laugh like hell about it. : The Army? I love it! Now par ,don me while I get up again—l didn't mean to kick myself so hard for saying that! This Officer Candidate School is really the berries. We get up in the morning and have been in the field for hours before the sun de cides to look up through the scrub pines. We run our legs off all over the State of Georgia, shooting things, blowing things up, stabbing people—just raising particular hell like a Penn State houseparty. One day's take here would give Cecil B. DeMille all the war or battle scenes he'd need for the next hun dred years. Then we come back into garrison in the early evening (say about 8 or 9 o'clock), study the next day's assignments, and then we have a whole ten or fif teen minutes to loaf at the PX guzzling milk and things. Then we get into lied nice and early shortly after midnight and relax for three whole hours. A cinch! I want to wish 'you. luck on your next show .and want to tell yOu how much I'd like to be in on ,it. But someone's gOt to fight this war, and I underitand the real reason behind Hitler's new peace feelers is now in. When Hunter fixes his bayonet, readies. his' grenades, loosens his helmet Straps; loads his takes another swig, and divo :in, 'Hitler knows 'the -jig, is Un; You mix the 'drinks, 'ging; I'll do The fighting? - • Hunter's letter Was' reprodUCed in the March issue of the Perin 'State Alumni News.
