Page 12 text:

Hut, two, three, four, to your left, two, three, four .... morning, noon and night the familiar sound echoes from the campus and the Good Ship Stuyvesant .... by platoons they come .... the toll, straight Navy Air Corps of tomorrow .... perhaps weighted down by heavy brown briefcases, but always with heads in the clouds. Their day ends only when the Stuyvesant chimes peal forth the ten o ' clock taps .... little wonder that Thurs- day night and liberty till 7:45 is a big occasion, and week-ends an all too brief respite. Wesleyan can ' t compete with the wings which will mean mission completed when they make their first non- stop flight .... life for the V-5 ' s is code and navigation and flight and engine and blinkers .... but there ore also recollections of pennies tossed in Dish Water Run for luck before exams in true Annapolis style .... the Battalion shows .... Sundays at the Union .... Fare- well formols .... Sunday afternoon dances at the ship .... the co-eds. Their number is of ever-changing composition .... with monthly addition of a dodo battalion and departure of a senior group .... three fast-moving months from the time they first struggle up to Stuyvesant under a load of G.I. clothes until they march from there with blues and gorrisorj s upon graduation .... Southern drawJsTand Newe gt d accents .... ballads inspired itf under regulations, such as Keep It Over 2.05 -end watch .... skillful pieces of journalism in newspaper, the . 5J -lines .... generous officers giving out ten gfa 3:w£ to be worked off on Saturday night. Wesleyan is the take-off .... they ' ve been warming up .this for months .... some in schools and colleges others already acclimated to Navy discipline as tar-macks .... writing, waiting for the signal .... zooming oht of here after three months to go on to advanced t ajning in stations all over the country .... W.T.S. scPToOTi pre-JUght, advanced flight .... each one step closer to, those coveted gold wings. cadets are paVt of the campus life for a brief period of the college year ,. . . an eleven-week stop in Delaware ipn their way uj ihe ladder .... but they are grateful for tneTFIeri ines thoKis Wesleyan .... this feeling will follow them aN over tHe Ci untry in letters from faithful co-ferfs tFTey.Tedve behind. ?
