FIELD ENGINEERING SECTION
THE DPI FE HAS:
  • the ability to thrive on the hours of a doctor and the salary of his receptionist.
  • the intuitiveness to tell the customer the exact time of repair when you don't know where the trouble is.
  • to be equally at ease with the president of a company and the custodian who cleans his office.

FE SCOREBOARD
  • It's "take me out of the ballgame" season at headquarters. There's been some wild games and some wilder celebrations.
  • May 1st will long live in DPI's softball history. On that fateful day, the men's team, the DPI Ducks, took on FE Training Class #53. The game bore a strange resemblance to the Christians being thrown to the lions.
  • The Trainees must have known they'd lose and have to buy the beer, so they obviously did their drinking before the game. It's not that the FEs were bad. The Ducks just found their weak spot--anywhere in front of home plate. At the end of extra innings (to give the FEs a chance to catch up), it was Ducks: 25, Field Creatures: 7.
  • A rematch was held. The FEs abducted half the men's team, plus Coed's shortstop, Norene Crumb. The outcome, thanks to Norene's snakeball pitch, was a decent Field Creatures: 11, Ducks: 8.
