Navy Hymn Chosen
As Station Favorite
Nearly half of the cadets casting
ballots in the recent poll named the
Navy Hymn as their favorite hymn.
Accordingly the Public Relations
Office has forwarded the information
of this hymn’s selection as the station’s
favorite to the producers of “The Hour
of Charm” radio program, so that the
hymn may be considered for use on
that program some Sunday evening in
the future, “The Hour of Charm”
weekly program for some time has been
concluded with playing of the favorite
hymn t)f personnel of one of the armed
camps throughout the country.
The Old Rugged Cross placed second
in the Pre-Flight poll, and Fairest
Lord Jesus third.
Personnel Advised to Limit
Exchange of Xmas Cards
Pre-Flight School personnel are
urged by the Commanding Officer to
keep their exchange of Christmas
cards to a minimum this year.
“During the past several years,” an
executive memorandum states, “very
few Christmas cards have been ex
changed among naval personnel and

Perhaps no cadet has more personal
reason for wanting a crack at Nazi
U-boats than James L, Ware, 12th Bat
talion member from Athens, Pa., who
received an icy bath—and a close shave
with death—in ihe North Atlantic last
February.
Serving as third mate aboard a U.
S. freighter which sailed in one of the
early American con
voys to Soviet Rus
sia, Ware had a
very real taste of
enemy action when
his ship was tor
pedoed and sunk by
an undersea raider.
Luckily, Ware and
most of his ship
mates were picked
up from the life
boats into which
they managed to
scramble by a nearby British freighter
. . . to live and fight another day.
Ware
will be inadvisable to burden even
local mails with non-essential mail
ings.”

Ware, now 20, went to sea in 1939 at
the age of 17. After six months of sea
service, he enrolled in the Pennsylvania
Maritime Academy, Philadelphia, Pa.
He completed ihe 18-month course
there in September, 1941, earning the
designation of third mate in the Mari
time Commission, equivalent to ensign
in the Navy.
A native of Philadelphia, Ware took
the CPT primary course at Williams
port, Pa., last summer, and is itching
to get back into the fight against the
Nazis—this time in a sleek Navy
fighter plane.
A Carnegie Hero Medal winner at
the age of 17 is the mark set by Cadet
John W. Vaughn (12th Battalion),
from Hammonton, N. J.
It was back on Dec. 31, 1939, that
young Vaughn demonstrated cool
courage that should carry him far in
naval aviation. Risking his own life
to save that of .two
others, Vaughn
that day rescued a
boy, 10, and a girl,
12, who had plunged
into the frigid
water while skating
and sledding on the
thin iced surface of
Hammonton Lake.
For this deed
Vaughn won ac
claim in the na
tion’s press, was
cited in the Youth of the Month maga
zine, lauded in a resolution passed dur
ing the first 1940 state legislative ses
sion in New Jersey, and was awarded
the Carnegie Medal, carrying with it
a reward of $250.
Vaughn attended the University of
Richmond for two years before enlist
ing in the Navy, and lettered in foot
ball while playing guard and center on
the varsity team during his sophomore
year. He attributes part of his success
in high school chemistry to the fact
that the boy whom he rescued from the
waters of Hammonton Lake was the
son of his chemistry teacher.
Cadet Raymond H. Porter (11th
Battalion), of Rochester, N. Y., let
tered in four sports-^-soccer, track,
boxing and baseball—while attending
Buffalo State Teachers College. How
ever, soccer was his main forte. He
lettered four years in that sport, was
captain of the learn in 1939, and was
chosen by Spalding as one of the out
standing soccer players of the year.
. . . Cadet Charles F. Leslie, Jr.,
(13th Battalion), of Philadelphia, Pa.,
once sang with the Savoy Opera Co....
Rated as radioman, third class,
when he transferred from the Regular
Vaughn
'‘He’s been on the tree ever since he arrived here.”
Navy to naval aviation. Cadet Levy
C. Gremillion (12th Battalion), of
Monroe, La., spent a year and four
months in the Panama Canal Zone on
special radio detail. He attended the
radio school at Norfolk, Va. . . . Cadet
George T. Butcher (13th Battalion),
of Waltham, Mass., was city ping pong
champion of Waltham for three
years. . . .
The finer technical points of aviation
should be no great mystery to Cadet
Jean Mayers (10th Battalion), of
Boston, Mass. Besides holding a pilot’s
license, Mayers has a bachelor of aero
nautical engineering degree which he
received from the Polytechnic Institute
of Brooklyn last spring. . . . Cadet
Francis J. Buckley (13th Battalion),
of Dorchester, Mass., has a brother
serving in the Navy, one in the Army
and another in the Coast Guard.
