Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, October 10, 1942 275 More Cadets Go to Flight Bases The largest graduating group of ca dets was detached last Thursday and Friday when 275 members of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Battalions finished the Pre-Flight phase of their training and departed for nine Naval flight bases. The greatest number — 70 — were transferred to the Naval Reserve Avi ation Base at Grosse He, Mich. Of the remainder, 60 were ticketed for Min neapolis, Minn., 35 for Squantum, Mass., 27 to Kansas City, Mo., 20 to each of Norman, Olka., Memphis, Tenn., and Peru, Ind., 15 to Philadel phia, Pa., and 8 to Lakehurst, N. J., for lighter-than-air training. FITNESS (Continued ft'om page one) battalions was the Fourth, with an av erage gain of 1.37 inches. At the waists, the cadets experienced a streamlining process that required an occasional tightening of the belt. There was an average loss of .98 of an inch in waist measurements. Most constant belt-tighteners were cadets of the Second Battalion, whose waistlines diminished to the extent of a 1.97 inches average. These are the physical measurements of the cadets of the first four battal ions, and a few of their records. Lt. Comdr. Harman and his staff can pro duce from their records ample evidence that the Pre-Flight program is paying dividends in actual performance—and even more so than the records indicate; for initial tests are made while the cadets are fresh, and final tests are given in the course of a day’s activity, with no opportunity to rest before them. But the most important change in the cadet who has completed his train ing, and the subject about which Mr. Harman is the most enthusiastic, is something which cannot be reduced to figures and calculated on paper. “The most important change is in their attitude,” Mr. Harman explains. “We see them grow daily in poise, ag gressiveness, discipline. . . .” Pre-Flight training has done this to the average cadet physically: Made him grow .375 of an inch. Added 1.27 pounds to his weight. Deepened his chest .63 of an inch. Slimmed his waist almost a full inch. Sharpened his speed and developed his endurance. This is one “before” and “after” comparison with figures aplenty to back it up. INDOOR GAMES Carolina Sport Shop /ce Cream Toasted Sandwiches Milk. Shakes Sundaes <k Sodas Catalinas Take First Place In Sports Program By Cadet H. Wesley Bogle By annexing all four of their con tests last week, the Catalinas brought their point total up to 12 to take the lead in squadron sports competition as of Saturday, Oct. 3. The Helldivers dropped to second place with a total of IO V2 points while the Buffaloes, in fifth place a week ago, advanced to third with 9^ points. Football competition began during the week with the Catalinas, Buffaloes, Kingfishers, and Coronados all turning in victories. In soccer the Catalinas continued to pace the field with five wins in as many starts, with the Wildcats a close sec ond showing a record of five wins and one defeat. The lead in boxing was shared by the Catalinas, Helldivers, and Buffaloes with three victories each. The Buccaneer and Coronado mili tary track teams were again victorious and led that division with three triumphs and no losses. Last week liberty awards went to the league leading^ teams in each divi sion. However, no award was made for football because of insufficient competition. —Buy W^ar Bonds— CRUISING (Continued from page one) W. C. Clark, Jr„ John Stocker, Robert Brawley, Brooks Grand, George Dan iels, Edward Finzel, Wilbur Augustin, Joe Hewlett, Simon Golden, Robert Howe, Harry Lawrence, Warren Lentz, Robert Meyer, James Moran, Henry Reese, Thurman Ward, and Walter Wood. Two ensigns were rewarded this time First Lieutenant Lawrence Mur phy, and Paymaster E. E. Mack both stepping up to Lt. (jg). To save the crew from being white washed in this wholesale rise, Carl Byers and this writer received ap pointments as Yeoman.second class. “Work in the disbursing office and get a commission in ten easy lessons.” This sign should be placed on Paymas ter Mack’s “hole in the bilge.” No less than three of the boys from the ranks of jangling keys have been commis sioned in the reserve to serve hereafter as officers. Joe Gresser, former SK3c, is now a Lt. (jg) in training at Solo mons, Md., with the amphibious forces. Gale Eberle, another one-time SK3c, was last heard from in New York, wearing the golden bar of an ensign. We mustn’t forget Ensign George Mat son, once handling the crew pay roll as a SKBc. He now sits around wait ing for word to go “somewhere” as he polishes that bar and supply corp leaf. News Briefs for Navy Wives Red Cross Bandages—A plea for'^ Navy wives to lend the local Red Cross chapter a hand in rolling surgical dressings for American fighters over seas is made by Mrs. Jesse G. Wright, temporary chairman of the Pre-Flight women’s organization. “The Red Cross,” Mrs. Wright states, “is now rolling 90% of all band ages going directly to the fighting fronts. The quota for Chapel Hill up to Sept. 15 was 30,000, and for the first half of October 15,000 additional. Only 15,000 have been completed to date so we are at least a month behind. ‘While rolling surgical dressings is a tiresome job, remember that the boys in the air—and our cadets will soon be with them—can’t stop flying when they are tired. Never let ‘too little and too late’ be said of us, when American lives are at stake.” The bandages for the Red Cross are prepared at the residence of the Uni versity President, Frank P. Graham. The hours are Tuesday through Fri day from 9:30 a.m.-12;30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.-5;00 p.m., and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. ★ Meeting—There will be an organi zational meeting for all wives of Pre- Flight officers in Lenoir Hall at 2:30 p.m., Oct. 14, at which time the ob jectives of the women’s organization will be discussed. The group will meet on the second Wednesday of each month thereafter. Kindergarten Co-op—A community kindergarten and nursery for children from 3^ years to school age is being organized. Registration will open Mon day morning starting at 9:00 o’clock in the Presbyterian Church where the kindergarten will be conducted. The cost will be between $7 and $10 per child a month for care from 9:00 a.m. till noon Monday through Friday. ★ Maternity Course — The Chapel Hill Newcomers Club is sponsoring an adult education course on maternity which will be given by Miss Mar garet Blee, assistant professor of pub lic health nursing of the School of Public Health. Those interested are invited to call Mrs. Sterling Brackett (3197) and enroll. The course consists of 12 lectures with meetings on Mon day and Friday afternoons.
