U N I R LT. JOHN STITELY The precision with which the hut, two, three, four . . . of the Navy Air Cadets march to and from classes is one of the many characteristics of the V-5 Flight Cadets here at Ohio Wesleyan. The man behind the men . . . the commanding officer of the air cadets is Lt. J. 0. Stitely. Coming from Peoria, Illinois, to Ohio Wesleyan, he charted his course through Bradley Polytech- nicol Institute, University of Iowa, and Harvard University, collecting two de- grees en route. He taught also in Peoria schools and at Harvard before his assignment to Ohio Wesleyan. LT. TRUSDELL WISHER Directing the development of approxi- mately four hundred potential Navy deck officers is no minor assignment. Lieutenant Trusdell Wisner, Com- manding Officer of the Navy V- 1 2 unit of Wesleyan, is filling it in a manner which rates A-1 commendation. He has pride in seeing the boys in blue maintaining Navy traditions. Having two sons of his own, he understands the interests of young men; he is their friend as well as their advisor. A veteran of the Mexican Border Cam- paign and of World War I, he returned to active duty with the Navy immedi- ately following Pearl Harbor. 23
