Saturday, September 2, 1944 CLOUDBUSTER Page Three AROUND THE STATION m The cartoon above will no doubt bring a smile, especially to those lovers of N & R. It’s one of the best we’ve seen, and the odd thing about it is the fact that the artist knows nothing about N & R. Cadet Wally Suess, the soccer ace of the Sports Program, wrote a friend of his about N & R, and the friend, being a commercial artist, sent in return a mental picture of what Suess had written. news from here, there, and everywhere The numerous friends of Lieut. Horace Montgomery, former ENS instructor, will be interested in knowing that he is now function ing with the Sea-Bees somewhere in the Paci fic, and that on occasion he has contacted Lieut. Comdr. Tom Carruthers, and Lieut. Alexander Cloud who formerly served at Pre-Flight. ***** Returning from fifteen months Pacific ser vice as Wing Navigator with Fleet Air Wing 17 in the areas of blue water, palm trees and sandy beaches, Lieut. E. H. Staehling, with three battle stars, recently reported for duty with the department of Aerology and Engines. Reporting from Great Lakes, 111,, former cadet William B. Carrigan, who saw some ser vice for the Cloudbuster baseball nine last spring, remarked that he had met a number of his friends at the lake shore training center. * * * * * Hourly weather observations are being compiled regularly by the cadet watch at Alexander Hall under the direction of the Aerology department. ***** Three enlisted men were received during the past week.

He was one of the team’s brightest prospects, and he was slated for a varsity backfield spot on the Alabama varsity of 1942. But the war came and St. John immediately enlisted in the Marines. The following fall he was playing a varsity game, but the stakes were higher. He was on Guadalcanal, a mem ber of Carlson’s Famous Raiders. “I didn’t see much action, and I don’t have much to talk about,” St. John told a Cloud buster reporter. However, the reporter found out a few things, among them being, that St. John saw action on Guadalcanal, the Macon Island Raid, and on Midway. He was also a member of the First Marine Division to re ceive a Presidential Citation. “Lieut. Colonel Carlson was a real leader,” St. John pointed out. “He would always want to do more than he required of his men.” St. John hopes to receive his wings and re turn to the Pacific. The Fall of 1944 will find him on the Cloudbuster varsity eleven, and he’s expected to be in that starting lineup when the Pre-Flighters open their season against the Cherry Point Marines here on Sept. 24. :fi * * * * The nations of the world can look to Rus sia to play an important role in the affairs of the world following the war, Lieut. Ray Witter, Aerology Training officer here, told members of the American Legion at Dur ham this past week. Most of Lieut. Witter’s talk was in the nature of a presentation of impressions gleaned of Russia during a visit to that country in 1936.
