Confound you, do you think this is the A. S. T. P.?,' No, the report retort did not come from the soldierly A. S. T. P. unit, but rather from the EM in charge of Flight A. In addition to the permanent fiight leader, Douglas La Cour, and then Leo Sayre, Flight A was headed by a cadet flight leader. The flight was divided into four sections of about equal strength each led by a section leader. Section leadership has been held by Lee Pierson, Len Klotz, and Roald Strutz fSec. lj: Leo Sayre, Tom Friedman, and Ed Gibbs fSec. Zjz Mort Lippman and Myron Lanin QSec. SJ: and Dave Musgrave, Fred Martin, Wallace White, and Stanley Ross fSec -ij. Members of the fiight have stamped it with unforgettable characteristics: Ernie , l Hubbard at attention: George Farrow late: Jerry Ebner out of step: Norm Becker at chow: Don Pitkoff the artist: the bitterness of Bob Foster: Al Myers, Hal Chapman, l and Bob Peck helping Flight A to monopolize the post of C. C.

This rivalry reached a peak at review each Saturday when Flight A l marched forth in competition with Flight B for the high-sounding title of honor I fiightf' T The letter A is befitting of the men of this fiight. As men and buddies they have been Aces, one and all. Flight A, 'ten hutl Dismissed!

Pvt. Matthew Kusmidor janet 'Il-tlow THE PERMANENT PARTY N our childhood we had nurses: in school life. proctors: and now that we are in the Army we have the Perma- nent Party. Yes, it is these little gremlins , of Barclay Hall that have taught us all about making left obliques, signing pay- ' rolls, changing sheets, and scrubbing Ma,-gan-t Mall rooms and halls on inspection days. They Ei-Q Nlareian were the instructors in Course VI-usually an evening subject-called G. I. 1. It was strictly a lecture class. At times it sounded like fatherly advice: then, again. there were slight traces of soft-hearted urging begun always by those famous words, You will . . . Aside from inspections usually labeled crappy. bed checks. tire drills. and training films. the Permanent Party performs a more important duty. That duty is the successful management of all office and administrative detail connected with our Army careers. To them goes all the paperwork that accompanies a detachment of two hundred men. The handling of the famous 110 file and the preparing of payrolls. insurance applications, and furlough papers are only a few of the duties of the personnel sergeant. Theirs is the never-ending problem of supply. The supply sergeants have done au excellent job. In their hands. too, is the execution of a physical education program that has to be crammed in after a day spent in classrooms. Our physical training directors have reached their goal when they succeeded in developing a spirit of sportsmanship among us. And. to them goes the often unpleasant chore of medical tests and of trips to Valley Forge Hospital. Every kind of job. great and small, from C. to rifle instructor. has come within their compass. They have had to com- plain. they have had to instruct. they have had to advise. and they have had to scold-all in a days week's, year's work: but, it was work essential, tedious. and well done.
