0 '94 ' 4 WALTER F. WHITE, INSTRUCTOR CThird From Left,-1800 Flying Hours St. Clairsville, Ohio ARNOLD P. SPARMANN, Secaucus, New Jersey, delved into chemical engineering after at- tending Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. In high school he was a track man and once a track man, always a track man. JOSEPH W. KING, is Forsyth, Georgia's contri- bution to our class. He formerly played foot- ball in high school and also tramped the Peach State's trails as an Assistant Scout- master. Apparently he was rated as quite a handy boy because he once held a position in a Columbus, Georgia, manufacturing's effici- cncy department. Come to think of it, he's carried over his ability to our fair field. BOLESLAW W. PIROG, is one boy who really has flying in his blood. Before entering the service, he flew Csome of the smaller air- planesj and gained 78 hours on those of us who hugged the earth. He also holds a private pilot's license. It would be safe to called him the Wallington, New Jersey, Wiz- ard of Air-he can make our planes liter- ally talk, walk, and act. GEORGE J. MOLL, the Jersey City, N. J. muscle- man, worked with a foundation gang on Uncle Sam's destroyers. According to the grapevine, his deligent efforts were the rea- son for the launching of so many ships fand who are we to doubt that rumor?J He ran on his high school track team for three years, too. ROY L. STROMBERG, Putney, Vermont has both a histrionic and musical background. He wooed the fair heroines of many a high school play and for encores, sang to the a- bove-mentioned damsels. For relaxation he worked at Pratt-Whitney and Bullard Ma- chine Tool but now he has forgotton all of his civil jobs and is concentrating on hot- piloting. CHave you called Lulu Bel1e?D

-ug 'K . www JAMES T. ROBINSON, INSTRUCTOR fOn Wingj JAMES D. KEEFE, is listed as a Nashville, Ga., voter. His former occupation was that of a naval stores operator and prior to that he pertook in a bit of agricultural work. Bas- ketball, track, tennis, and baseball claimed much of his time. GEORGE NOORIGIAN, Grantwood, N. J. fPro- nounced Noor-hee-gan in the Arkansas tonguel. When George started signing out solo ships, the maneuver he was very adept at was the one known as the ground loop. He's a good guy though. DAVID SCALES- Red Scales in the sunset, is a Rutherford, N. J. lad. Before this flying game, he worked as machinist at Wright Aero Corporation. We remember well how he cheered our idle hours with a mouth organ. Q

He was born in Italy and lived there for a num- ber of years. His profession here fbefore en- tering the AAFJ was that of a musiciang in fact, he was commonly referred to as the logical successor to Jimmy Dorsey-he tells us. Rutgers was his Alma Mammy. ROBERT LOUIS FAUBEL was one of Stan- ford, Connecticut's air minded citizens. He apprenticed die making there and is ap- prenticing flying here. fOn Wingj CALVIN E. KING, a Norfolk, Virginia transit man, had a few sidelines such as tennis and swimming which he probably greatly in- dulged in while traversing the countryside surveying. EDWARD PERCHAK, Scranton, Pa. Our boy Perchak fNMD is still scoutin around for one 119 parachute lost somewhere in Ouachita County. Moral: Always look in the front cockpit for any loose items finstructors in- cludedj before practicing slow rolls. 2 ,. A
