General MacArthur had sent all the women home in May of 1941 but there was some social life. There were a number of stag parties. Good native servants were still available who did all the cooking, cleaning up and so forth. On Sept. 23, the 59th had a party at Capt. Julians. Sept. 26, there was a reception for incoming officers at the Corregidor Club.
