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. Jake recently
transferred 'to 'the Army Air Corps
and is taking officer training :'et
the Army-Air neld, San Antonio,
TexaS.
