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.

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?
