LT. 0.09 GEORGE EDWARD BARLOW, JR. The big wheel of the officers basketball squad, Lt. tjngi Barlow left for demobilization in May, after only four months in the so called land of enchantment. Mr. Barlow was commissioned in October of 1943 from the Prairie State, N. Y. Midshipman school, and after seven months of diesel and amphibious schooling, he was assigned in May, 1944, to an L.S.M. Squadron as an engi- neering officer. This work well qualified Mr. Barlow to teach engineering and damage control classes here at UNM. Mr. Barlow had revealed no plans for marriage before he left UNM. LT. gas ROBERT s. HUNTINGTON Inheriting a multitude of mutilated legs and ankles, Dr. Huntington took over at the UN M sick bay the hrst of this term, after 15 months in the Pacific on a con- verted transport. The hDoc was born here in New Mexico, and grew up in the Southwest, with San Fran- cisco claiming him before he entered pre-med and medi- cal schools. He is a graduate of the University of Arizona, and the Stanford School of Medicine. After his intern- ship, he immediately joined the N avy, and was put in the Pacific. Being happily married, he is only waiting for the high points needed for doctors discharge, and plans to go to the Pacific Northwest to make his permanent home. ENSIGN BETTIE JO WHITE Planning to leave the Navy as soon as she gets our records straightened up at the end of the semester, Ens. Betty White has had the long and endless job of paying hundreds of trainees every month. Miss White, a native of Greenville, Ohio, received her college education at Ohio State. She received her commission in the Navy, and was immediately sent to the Naval Supply Depot at Bayonne, N. J., and subsequently came to New Mexico. After the July discharge, she expects to enter radio.
