Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, June 12, 1943 Old Obstacle Course Record Is Broken Meet the new champs. Zooming over barriers. Cadets Siergei Powelle and Frank C. Johns reign as co-holders of a new obstacle course time record, 3:10, On May 7th., Cadet Powelle of 24, L-1, led the field in with the new record time, only to have to share his crown on June 4th, with Cadet Johns of 25, B-1, Both trampled on the former fastest time of 3:16 set on April 13th, by Edward Conlin of the 20th, Battalion, NEW HEAD (Continued from %>age one) val Academy in the following year. In 1924 he was first-string tackle on the varsity squad, held that position for the next three seasons, and in 1926 was elected captain of the team which in that year was undefeated, but which was tied by the Army, 21 to 21, He was unanimous All-American se- l^tion at the end of the 1926 sea son. After being graduated from the Naval Academy, Lt, Comdr, Wick- horst accepted a position as coach at the .University of Iowa and re mained there four years. Between 1931 and 1941 he served as line coach at the University of Cali fornia and also as Director of In tramural Athletics, In March, 1941, he returned to the Navy to teach navigation to Naval Reserve students at Cali fornia, Then in February, 1942, he came to Washington, D, C,, to assist his old team-mate, Comdr. Hamilton, in the formation of the physical training program. FREEMAN (Continued from page one) will appear in national magazines, and others in a booklet which will include scenes from all phases of Naval Aviation training. “The public has no idea of the work involved in training Navy Fliers,” Freeman commented. “I have been tremendously impressed with the work that is being done here. There is a wonderful sense of cooperation between the cadets and officers. My reason for com ing was to tell the world in pic tures what the cadets go through in Pre-Flight training. If I’m able to catch their spirit in my art work I will do just that,” The Situation Is Well In Hand Four ex-Marines Serving Here As Cadet Regimental Leaders Former Marines have the situation well in hand at this Pre-Flight School, where four of them have recently been appointed cadet regi mental leaders. They are (pictured above) : Taylor Hays Wagner of Route 3, Rossville, Ga., regimental commander; Dail Dean Fine, of Webster Groves, Mo,, sub-commander; Anthony E. Kujawinski, of Grand Rapids, Mich., adjutant; and Glenn Leonard Ferguson of Harvey, 111., chief petty officer.®' Each of the present cadet regi mental leaders has an interesting past, in spite of his youth. Cadet Kujawinski, former Ma rine coi’poral who was wounded in action at Casablanca last Novem ber, has been presented the Pur ple Heart, and the Silver Star, Cadet Wagner, another former Marine, served on the USS York- town for eleven months before it was lost in .battle last year. After abandoning the aircraft carrier, he swam for an hour and a half before being picked up. Said he threw away his life jacket because it was heavy and hampered his speed when trying to swim to ward the rescuing destroyers. Needless to say. Cadet Wagner hasn’t had any difficulty with his swimming lessons here. Cadet Fine, a buddy of Wagner, was in charge of a battery of five 20 millimeter anti-aircraft guns aboard the USS Yorktown, and went through five battles with his friend with whom he has been taking training at the Pre-Flight School here. Fine reports that af ter the relative “inactivity” aboard ship, the physical training, mili tary drill, and academic courses he is undergoing here are no snap. But, he’s glad to be learning how to be on the delivering end of air craft fire, rather than the receiv ing, he says. He’s always been in terested in aviation, having bought his own plane when he was seventeen. He still has it. Cadet Ferguson was attached to the White House as a receptionist for six months before entering Naval aviation training. In that capacity he escorted visitors to the offices of Admiral Leahy, Harry Hopkins, Dr, L u b i n. Justice Byrnes, and others. Before that he was a Marine aboard the USS Tennessee, Says he enjoys Nomen clature and Recognition and other studies here because they are so different from anything he’s had before. Cadet Kujawinski, who was aboard the cruiser, USS Brooklyn, had an advantage over the other cadets in his class the other day when that ship was among those to be identified in Nomenclature and Recognition. Navy Invited to Outdoor Dance at YMCA Tonight Pre-Flight personnel are in vited to attend the outdoor dance planned for University summer school students this evening on the court in front of the campus YMCA.
