THE COMMANDING OFFICER ' S MESSAGE Lt. G. J. Longley, USNR Commanding Officer Navy V-12 Unit Befhany College Bethany, W. Va. In all walks of life there are those who command our respect, regardless of their rank and position, because they possess the qualities of inspiring, cap- able and efficient leaders. Lt. Longtey is one of such men, and has gained the respect, admiration and good will of all the personnel under his command. Under such leaders is brought forth the spirit of which the Navy is very proud— the Esprit-des-Corps . C. O. U. S. Navy V-12 Unit Bethany College Bethany, W. Va. From: The Commanding Officer To: All Hands Subj: Message to V-12 Trainees 1. Now that some of you have completed your tour of duty at the Navy V-12 Unit, Bethany College, you will be assigned to fur- ther duty under instruction at other naval sta- tions. During your stay here you have ac- quired some knowledge, you have made many friends and you have impressed this command with your earnestness and ability. With sin- cere unselfish service in the U. S. Navy as your goal, successful careers as officers will be your reward. 2. To those of you who are shipping out in October may I say it has been a pleasure to have served with you and I wish you all the very best of luck . 3.

DEAN WEIMER Bernal R. Weimer, Dean of Facul- ty, is what the sign on his office door says, but Dean Weimer is much more to Bethany than that. He is head of the Biology department, punster su- perlative, and gardener de-luxe. His pet hobby at the present time, is the Bethany Band. He has worked untir- ingly to build this into the fine musical organization it now is. Dean Weimer is co-author of several Biology books and manuels, and is the man behind the witty and amusing collection of Bi-illogical poems . . . Dean Weimer, just by being his own unconventional self has become one of Bethany ' s most outstanding personages. DEAN HOAGLAND Dean of Women, Head of the Eng- lish Department. At the present time she is studying the finer points of the art of becoming a veterinarian under the more or less able instruction of Dr. Mahan. Miss Hoagland is without a doubt one of the busiest people in Bethany. Running the English department is a job that would leave an ordinary per- son hopelessly muddled, but besides that, she solves problems, and acts as general trouble-shooter for Bethany ' s 125 women students. She is also fac- ulty advisor for the Student Guides, and an active participant in the Royal Order of the Red Rose. 13

NAVAL ADMINISTRATION Naval Administration, in Bethany language, equals one of the smoothest- running organizations on the campus . . . There ' s Lt. Pieffer, chaperoning dances, with his lovely wife . . . handing out demerits, and at the some time, making people like him . . . Surgery, calling Dr, Peters who keeps the navy in top physical condition . . . and then there ' s that Cute, competent little Mrs. Spector . . . our first of the month angel . . . A welcoming hand to our new 1 st Lieut, (j.g.) Coughlin. f£ S «urf jajjiWHi mil 15
