Buoyant, hopeful, confidentethe Second Platoon was a lively group, and, with 39 men, the largest platoon in the company after indoctrination. With DeReus to lead the singing, Deedler to interrogate the instructors, and Corwin to wisecrack, there was never a dull moment. What other platoon could match the talent of portrait painter Clark or concert pianist Donaldson, the easy con- tident manner in which Everson maneuvered marching men, the nonchalant independence of HAdmiral Colby, or the promptness of Hdoubleetime Derman in making Formation? Never- to-be-torgotten are: the strenuous month of indoctrin- ation under the leadership of HNed Conner; the calling of the roll with Cook, B. T. and Cook, G. A.,- the antics of Cleveland. Croop with those maneuvering board blues. 'Abovet From Corrigan Io Calla- han for action. tLefD Chow.

Composed of 33 men whose names, with one exception, begin with A or B, the First Platoon could very appropriately be called AB which according to naval communications means HAII Before. Since that fateful July 1 when strong men quaked and weak men collapsed, ABS have led the company. We have been Hall before in pay line, security watches, company com- manders, being inspected, being shot in the arm, beet- ing and talking in ranks and everything else except marching to chow-which we do only on Monday. AB is the despair of every pla- toon leader. There is but one time of the day when the boys quit talking and start looking sharp and that lasts exactly 20 seconds as we pass the regimental oHice or oHicer.

There was Attorney Freeman, G-Man Harrington, Newsman Garvey, Merchandiser Harkins, and also a Few old salts like Gorham, Gribetz, Gust, Flynn and Fowle who had been in the Navy before NTS Harvard. Brother Flynn was, in tact, S.O.P.A. ot the regi- ment, the only full lieutenant in the gang, as a result of an alnav which struck during his training here. From California, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, New York, Indiana and Vermont came the Thun- dering Third to Form its own quiet little melting pot at Harvard. Just like each of the other seven platoons in the company, the Third considered itself the Hcrack outtitn oi the regiment . . . and probably was, too . . . it says here in small print under the picture.
