MCCORMICK, is an Omaha, Nebraskan. design draftsman for Bell Telephone and his duties included radio apparatus and equip- ment design. At present his only designs are on flying and all that goes with it. RICHARD ROBINSON, from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that cold New England State in the winter time, didn't find it too cold to play guard on the Portsmouth' H. S. team. He must have been good too because he had the berth of all-state end. The Union Pacific Railroad paid Brother Mac to balance payrolls Che saysj before he chose to enter the service. Perhaps some day he'11 write a book on his Army experiences and entitle it The letters with the Lipstick Smudgesf' Right, pal? WILLIAM J. NEMECEK, Dumont, New Jersey did defense work prior to taking to the air. His work around planes helped him to recognize them at a glance. Tell us Bill- What's the difference between a P-40?

2 CLYDE C. BALL, INSTRUCTOR HAROLD E. KOVEN, New Jersey's gift to the Air Force. His former flying experience con- sisted of two trips at the tender age of 5. Note: to all our young readers of 5 or less. You too can be an aviation cadet. 1 JOHN E. RUTT, Ohio breed, came to like the sport of weight lifting for reasons ovious in a pair of shorts. Although he studied dental work, from now on he will destroy bridges instead of building them. fCenterJ RUSSELL A. McDONNELL, has that accent that comes from only one place-Boston. A Kappa Psi man and also a salesman UD, Mac makes friends so easily. Does a course in personal- ity go with a B. S. Degree? PAUL F. SCHREPPLE, a Washington, New Jersey man, was a molder operator for furni- ture. He will probably get a plane of his own later and equip it with a plush, form fitting, custom built cockpit. Then he will have all the comforts of home.

While at the University of Idaho he was a leg man on the cross country squad. And wow- what legs! Incidently he comes from Roselle Park, N. J. - GEORGE W. PERRY, Orange, N. J., was another Cadet who once clerked for his subsistence. George Washington Perry-a famous array of names and if we judge correctly, this namesake of famous Americans will continue to live up to its merits. Par-a-a-ade rest. JOSEPH S. OLESKY, has Wyoming, Pennsyl- vania, for a home town. His pay envelope buldged because of his work as a mechanic's helper on silk-throwing machines. Track was his athletic interest at home-contrast that to his chief attraction here--uh, er, lessee now-flying. KENNETH D. OLSEN, a Jersey City exponent, really took on a job to edit this book. K.D.'s former experience as a commercial artist surely came in handy. CHARLES W. MORSE, from New Bedford, Mass., is almost all leg. Wow, can this boy run. How did a former Welder get all those leg muscles? We wonder.
