u. s. nRvni PRE-FLIGHT SCHOOL That ' s right, mate, the ground is hard. Come on, sailors, lots of grunt and groan. J. N THE spring of 1941 a giant exodus began from the Upper quadrangle; the Nax ) ' had arrived. Chosen as one of the four Naval Pre- Fhght schools in the nation, the University began reallocating students and preparing for inevitable changes. Taking over ten dor- mitories, the Navy dispatched officers and planning crews to Chapel Hill to prepare living quarters and facilities for the cadets. The school is now operating at a pre- scribed peak of 1875 men, coming from all parts of the country and participating in the greatest physical toughening program that our armed forces have ever attempted. Under the leadership of Commander O. O. Scrappy Kessing and since last fall headed by Commander John P. Graff, the school has made vast strides towards becom- ing the finest in the nation. Because of increased facilities needed in the vast program, a new athletic field has been layed out, and a modern hospital com- plete with the latest developments in scien- tific medical apparatus has been constructed 22
