THE BLUE AND WHITE GEORGE ALBERT PLANCHON Lefty has acquired much of his knowledge of mechanics from the work he has done on his five or six cars. This no doubt inspired his enlistment in the Navy V-6 Program. George liked very much to fly as we could all see, but his affections for dancing and roller skating were also well displayed.

In these few months 'tNick had become a very popular fellow among his associates and is known as a very good mechanic, who also likes to dance and participate in parties. Nick's interest in aviation, no doubt, inspired his three year enlistment in the Navy V-6 Program. During the winter months he demonstrated his in- terests in skiing and skating.
