Saturday, October 3, 1942 CLOUDBUSTER Page Three Cadet Featured The sculling prowess of 7th Battalion’s Joe Angyal is the subject of a three-page feature in the Sept. 27 edition of Parade, weekly picture section carried by numerous Sunday papers throughout the country. Cadet Angyal, who was a New York fireman before enlisting in the Navy, is described as “some what of a phenomenon in row ing circles . . . the only man ever to hold the light and heavy weight rowing titles at the same time.” Former Tax Collector Persons with income tax problems are referred for expert aid to Edward J. Fitzgerald, Jr., 9th Battalion cadet from Middletown, Conn. Before en listing in the Navy, Cadet Fitzgerald worked in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue, U. S. Treasury Dept., Hartford, Conn.

Lt. (jg) John “Iron Lung” Boyd is going along which is pleasant news for he can walk any battalion into the ground with a minimum of effort. In fact, it’s discouraging to stagger out to forma tion just after a hike a nd see him striding by, fresh as ever to lead the next nature study group into the country. So we start out and it’s easy walk ing for we’re on the pavement. Every body in Carrboro lines the street when we pass through, and we are told three times to keep our eyes on the neck of the person ahead. The battalion is led off the main highway and marches on a dirt road through the woods. This is very un comfortable especially as four blisters I didn’t know I had are making them selves felt. There are many rocks of all sizes in the road. The big ones I twist my ankle on and the little ones get inside my socks. By now the cadet ahead of me is falling back and I find myself walking on his calves. He gets back where he belongs. Then some of those yellow-colored flying machines circle overhead. I watch them for awhile and start walking on his calves again. So I start making a determined effort to walk on the road but since my feet overlap his and I can’t walk straight anyway, I have difficulty. Finally the fellow next to me tells me to get back in line. By now we’ve walked about fourteen miles so I sneak a look at my watch and find it’s 0745. We’ve been step ping very lively and even Boyd has fallen behind. But now he breezes by us and says “Stop slowing down the cadence!” At last, somewhere in the middle of some primeval forest we are halted and fall out. Everybody goes into the woods but I just lie down in the road which feels very comfortable. After the second car goes by, I decide to go into the woods too. I sit down in some poison ivy (I find out later) and lean against a tree to enjoy a smoke. After one drag, the call comes, “Fall in!” so I saunter back to formation puffing furiously until I reach the line. We march on. I have a camera along to take some pictures. It weighed 15 C.O., Lieut. Hamilton Attend Aviation Conference Comdr. O. 0. Kessing, commanding officer, and Lieut. Howard Hamilton, head of the academic department, at tended a two-day conference on pri mary aviation training at Kansas City, Mo., September 24-25. The meeting was presided over by Capt. A. W. Radford, head of the Bu reau of Aeronautics’ training division, and attended by representatives of the other Pre-Flight Schools, Reserve Bases, Air Stations, Selection Boards, operational bases, and the Bureau of Aeronautics in Washington.

In ice, sleet, snow and rain they send their ships slashing through the heavy seas. They need rain coats to help them weather the storms. A rain coat for our sailors costs $5. ounces when I started but now weighs 5 pounds. The bruise on my hip where it’s been bumping recalls it to mind and I run up an embankment to snap our platoon. By the time I’m ready, the platoon has passed so I run back. I try again, this time running ahead and I catch the last two ranks as they go by. Then I run back to my position. This is very fruitless and my legs are wobbling badly. Way later, about 0930, we stop again still in the woods for another respite and I remove the 10-pound camera for awhile. No drinking water around of course and this has devel oped into the hottest day of the sum mer. We start plodding on. A couple of times we “give way to the star board” as cars go by and I have to walk in the gutter. There was water in the second one of course and my shoes gush for a few steps. At last we hit a main road and we can see the Bell Tower in the distance just over the horizon. Our platoon leader hopefully says, “Sir, we’re do ing 136 steps a minute,” to an officer CLOUDBUSTERS..

A Pepsi-Cola truck goes by at 10 miles an hour as we are trying not to step on our tongues, and only the fact that we can’t go that fast prevents mutiny. My camera now weighs 14 pounds. About 1120 we get back to the school and, summoning all my remaining en ergy, I dash for the scuttlebutt only there are 25 cadets ahead of me.
