REVIEW OF THE TERM DSTC has changed its program to correspond with the national war effort and has on its campus a Navy V-12 Unit. Last July the first contingent of Navy V-12ers appeared at DSTC and the campus has become a Navy training center.

South Hall, originally a girls' dormitory, has been transformed into the "Ship."

Because of the shortage of civilian students and the necessity for close co-operation between the two groups, classes and all school activities have been combined with the Navy setup.

Student government has again been installed on the campus. In order to make for co-operation and efficient management, the constitution stipulates that offices be divided 'between civilians and sailors. Serving as the school's representatives on the Student Council are President, "Bambi" Harms; Vice President pro tem., Joe Kmiec; Commissioner of Social Affairs, Louise Zander; Commissioner of Publications, Charlotte Parker; Commissioner of Athletics, Wade Haggard; Secretary, Dacotah Swett.

The first momentous undertaking of the Student Council was the inauguration of a Student Union room. Commonly known as the Lounge, this room, located in the Cafeteria, is equipped with davenports, easy chairs, footstools, tables, and a nickelodeon.

Dramatics has played an important role in the activities on the campus. The most active group, known as the Cue Club, is responsible for all the play productions.

A classic comedy production, "She Stoops to Conquer," directed by Miss Nellie Bobp, was produced on April 13 and 14. The play was staged in pent-house style and all costumes were authentic reproductions.

The cast included Arthur Christoferson, Helen Rasmussen, Ronald Sockolov, Robert Porter, Floyd St. Clair, Esther Selke, Mary Evelyn Groger, and David Sweetman.

The second play of the term is a late Broadway production, "Junior Miss." Those selected for the roles included Robert Smart, Dorothy Hein, Marjorie Kronsnable, Bob Harms, David Sweetman and Dacotah Swett.

Gamma Xi chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity, held "an initiation on May 21 at the home of Mrs. Harding.

Those installed into the organization were Esther Selke, Floyd St. Clair, Martha Kudrna, Virginia King, Dacotah Swett, Arthur Christoferson, Ronald Sockolov, and Miss Helen Rassmussen.

Two programs were presented by the Music Department.

The first program, on April 3, presented Miss Lois Laverne Schnoor, soprano, as-

sisted by Charlotte Parker, pianist; Patsy Pulver; and the College Chorus with Virginia King as accompianist.

The second attraction was a music recital on the fourth of May featuring Virginia King as pianist, soloist, and violinist.

The Slope Teacher, college newspaper, is being edited by the following staff: Editor-in-Ohief, George Caulfield; Assistant Editor, Esther Selke; Business Manager, Norman Ambrose; Sports Editor, Wade Haggard; Feature Editor, Betty Law; Copy Editor, Tom Baker; College Adviser, Dr. Gladys Ekeberg; High School Adviser, Mrs. Nell Robinson.

Various religious organizations on the campus have contributed their part in the school's activities.

On March 19, Newman Club, Catholic group, attended church in a body and breakfasted together afterwards.

Luther League meetings and social gatherings have been held monthly.

A new organization, the Religious Council, headed by Donald Kirkbride, has been instituted to integrate religion with campus life and to make for greater understanding between the many and varied religious sects.

Aside from their regular monthly meetings and programs the Women's League sponsored their second barn dance; said dance proved to be even more successful than the first.

Senior Day stands out as one of the most successful days of the term. The 250 visiting high school seniors from the Slope area were entertained with tours of the building and an all-school program consisting of talks by President Scott and Lt. Bradley, an exhibition of the square dance and tumbling, and music by the college orchestra. The afternoon's entertainment consisted of a Navy Revue, free movie, lunch, and a Sunlight Hop with music by the Navy Band. •.

Beta Eta chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha, national honorary sorority, init Iated Virginia Roberts and Cherry Schafner during a formal initiation held on May 8. Officers for this year were President, Virginia King; Vice-President, Charlotte Parker; Secretary, Georgene Tillquist; Chaplain, Gayle Chappell; Registrar, Marjorie Talkington; Treasurer, Ruby Strand; and Editor, Esther Selke. The new officers for the ensuing year are President, Charlotte Parker; Vice President, Georgene Tillquist; Secretary, Ruby Strand; Chaplain, Marjorie Talkington; Registrar, Esther Selke; Treasurer, Marjorie Kronsnable; and Editor, Gayle Chappell.

And so another term passes, leaving its imprint on the pages of the past, and all eyes are focused on the future.

B. A. DEGREE GRADUATES Virginia King

Arc/yce Peterson

Many are born to follow but few to lead. Virginia's four years here at college have shown that she is 0 n e of those few.

Arriving at DSTC from Fryburg in the fall of 1940, Ginny began her four-year career.

Her music ability soon assured her of a prominent place in orchestra and chorus; as a member of the Ensemble she made several trips to Bismarck to play over KFYR and other state hook-ups.

Actions speak louder t h a n words.

This is the policy Ardyce has followed since her arrival on the campus in the fall of 1940.

Throughout her college car e e r she has gone about her work quietly and systematically.

Aside from her academic w 0 r k Ardyce was a member of Interna tional ReI ations Club, at one time vice-president; president of Luther League; librarian of the Regional Luther Student Association; charter member secretary-treasurer of the FTA; an active member of Women's League, serving on various committees; member of the Dorm Council at Stickney.

A familiar figure in the library, Ardyce has worked there for two years, showing an aptitude and ability for finding all sorts of books, magazines, and pamphlets required by the student body. Perhaps this skill is due to the fact that she is an ardent reader.

She is also a member of the College Chorus and has appeared in many of its programs.

During her junior year Virginia served as class president, became a charter member of FTA, an even more active member of Sorority, . starred in the college production "Arsenic and Old Lace," and continued her work in music.

As a senior Ginny served as vice-president of the class, president of Beta Eta, was initiated into Alpha Psi Omega, became the first student to receive the FTA Certificate of Merit, played the part of Mother Bear in "The Three Bears," and last but not least she appeared in a recital which clearly. showed her versatility in music.

She was also a star of the production "Junior Miss."

With a major in music and minors in art, English, and social science, Virginia was graduated with special honors. It is noteworthy that she is the first student to graduate with a major in music.

Ardyce has two majors, one in social science and the other in education, along with a minor in mathematics.

With four years of college behind her, she will go out and impart her knowledge by teaching.

The student body sends its best of wishes and hopes of success to Ardyce as she finally leaves forever as a student the portals of DSTC.

Thomas Mineah Thomas D. Mineah is a native of the Slope.

Born in 1908, September 4 to be exact, Tom attended Killdeer high school and later transferred to Dickinson high school where he completed his college preparatory work.

Tom entered DSTC in the fall term of 1928, but because of poor health was forced to remain away from his studies for a long period of time.

Mr. Mineah returned to college only recently and was rewarded for his preserverance when his

college work came to an end in March of this year.

Tom majored in English and social science.

While attending DSTC he took an active Dart in school affairs.

At. one time in his college career, he was a member of The Slope Teacher staff.

Other interests were art and church organizations.

He was a great aid to practice teachers by driving them in the school car to and from their rural positions.

CIVILIAN STUDENTS Quality not quantity makes for greater success-this is the motto of the civilian students.

So please suppress that smile as you look at the small group of civilians; undaunted by the effect the war has had on enrollment we go blithely on our way doing our best.

Perhaps tribute should first be paid to the two men enrolled as civilians. Martin Kamstra, from New England, is a junior and has played an active part in the school's activities.

Joseph Porten, a freshman who hails from Scranton, is waiting for that time when he too may become a member of the armed services.

Aside from the degree graduates we have quite a large group of two-year standard students who have completed their course; namely, Phyllis Donaldson of South Heart. Dorothy Englehart of Grassy Butte, Marjorie Kronsnabel of Killdeer, Virginia Roberts of Hettinger, Chery Schaffner of Dickinson, Hilda Schneider of Haynes, Joyce Ann Zubke of Grassy Butte, Velma Moeller of Hettinger. and the only out-of-state student, Mary Evelyn Groger of St. Charles. Minn. Each has done her part in making the activities of the year a great success-some in dramatics, others in music, athletics, speech, and the other fields open to college students.

Those working for their standard are Rnby Benfit, from Zap; Tillie Binstock. Belfield; Judith Boakswig, Arnegard; Hertha Schield. Dodge; Clara Severence, Belfield; and Mavis Weeks, Almont.

The junior college students have alwavs been a large group on the campus, coming mostly from Dickinson and the immediate towns. These students begin their college careers at DSTC and

then depart for larger schools. Specializing in science and math, they get a rich background from which to draw as they study to become doctors, nurses, technicians, and speciaIizers. Listed under this heading are Alice Ripley, Leota Swanson, Frances Weber, Charlotte Parker, Dacotah Swett, and Georgine Tillquist from Dickinson; Catherine Brown and Marjorie Talkington from Belfield; Joseph Porten from Scranton, and Ruby Strand from Fryburg.

This group has proved to be the most active and animated this year.

The ranks of the one-year rural students been depleted and this is now the smallest on the campus; however, Clara Christianson Almont, Edithe Luptak from Belfield, and Sadowsky from Manning have proven our and are a credit to the school.

have group from Alice motto

Gayle Chappell, Louise Zander, Esther Selke, - Betty Law from Dickinson, Martha Kudrna from South Heart, and Martin Kamstra make up the group known as senior college students.

And thus we stand, thirty seven strong. With ranks depleted. the regular college activities have carried on; with every bit of work accomplished, the names of this group can proudly be mentioned. In time of war, education is even more important than during peace; we have tried to remember this, and we believe that a more conscientious group of future American citizens has been molded in the halls of DSTC. And so with pleasant memories, happy thoughts, and new knowledge we bid adieu to our classmates, our teachers, and DSTC. To those who leave never to return we sav goodbye and good luck: to those returning, "We'll be seeing you next fall."

NAVY V-12 STAFF Lt. Gerald C. Bradley of the U. S. N. R. has just completed a successful year of service as commanding officer of this Naval V-12 Unit.

Lt. Bradley was born and reared in Charlotte, Michigan. The Lieutenant obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree from Olivet College, Michigan, and his Master of Arts from the University of Michigan. In addition to this, he did further work in Education at Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, New York University, the University of New Hampshire, and Harvard University.

Lt. Bradley now teaches Naval organization classes besides carrying out his regular duties as commanding officer.

Lt. C. E. Highlen, recent successor to Lt. W. W. Gorton, serves as executive officer of this station.

Lt. Highlen is the man who sees that the sailors follow the "straight and narrow."

Lt. Highlen was previously the assistant executive officer at the large V-12 Unit assigned to the University of Michigan.

He came to Dickinson in the latter part of March.

Lt Highlen was also a member of the Navy during the first World War, during which timehe received the Victory Medal.

Lt. Comdr. H. R. Johnson is the man who cares for all the ills, aches, and pains of the V-12 trainees of this unit.

Dr. Johnson joined the Naval Reserve as Lt. Commander in 1943 and has been with this unit since it was organized last June.

Lt. Cmdr. Johnson was a member of the army in World War 1.

J. T. Carroll, 2nd class petty officer, is a very recent acquirement of this V-12 Unit. Carroll, a native of Spokane, Washington, the Evergreen State, is acting as one of DSTC's athletic

instructors and was also officially made first lieutenant of the Ship, U. S. S. South Hall. Carroll has replaced Warren Ajax, athletic specialist first class, who is now stationed at a base in West Virginia.

Robert W. Smart, pharmacist's mate 2nd class, is also a very new member of Dickinson's V-12 Unit.

Smart hails from Ostrander, Ohio where he completed his grade and high school education.

Pharmacist's mate Smart is a four year graduate of the National College of Drugless Therapy at Chicago, Illinois.

Pharmacist Smart enlisted in the Navy May 6, 1943, and received his training at Great Lakes, Illinois. From Great Lakes he was transferred to this V-12 Unit.

E. A. Sather, chief yeoman, is what you might call "an indispensable man" at this Unit.

Sather is the one who handles all the correspondence, pay checks, insurance, and a lot more things that are necessary for the maintenance of this Unit.

Chief Sather is a native North Dakotan, as he was born in Bowman County, North Dakota, which is about 90 miles south of Dickinson.

In July, 1941, Sather, at the age of eighteen, joined the Navy and received his "boot" training at Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Illinois. Chief Sather, upon being advanced to Yeoman 1st class, was assigned to work in the disbursing office of the Ninth Naval District.

Yeoman Sather was then transferred to the V-12 Unit at Dickinson where he was married and advanced to a Chief Yeoman.

Ira Jivelekian, chief athletic specialist, arrived at the unit about 2 months ago, replacing DSTC's two former chiefs, Magee and Joyce, who were commissioned.

FIRST PLATOON A big, happy family with congenial popular "Moose" Morsman in the driver's seat is the group of 30 "fighting men" located on the third deck, south corner of South Hall. That's the First Platoon.

Twice winners of the basketball crown, contenders for the softball title and pennant winners are the inhabitants of the third deck, south corner.

All state forward, varsity basketball and football men, A.S B. President, Commissioner of Athletics. Slope Teacher editor. company commander-these prove that the First's personnel is not just a group of men but active, well known campus characters.

R. O. Morsman, better known as "Moose," is RPO, slave driver and renegade of the number one platoon.

Once of the Fifth, from Washington, 21 years old, Moose is tops- helpful, goodnatured, energetic and thoughtful.

Making up one-half of the platoon are 14 old hands. from Washington, California, Nevada, Illinois and the Atlantic Fleet.

Roland Mortenson, a trackman from Washington, and Jerry Saylor from the fleet make up Billet 305 where "Doc" Sayler hands out his professional advice.

From Billet 306, Denny Spicer and Floyd St. Clair, both of Washington, deal out the mail and Spicer philosophy.

Chris Christofersen and "Lefty" LeBaron do "sack time" in Billets 308. Chris, a high ranking student, is from South Africa, and Lefty, company commander and athlete, is from Washington.

Along with the RPO. George Caulfield hang's his hat in Billet 312. George is editor of The

Slope Teacher and good all-around athlete from California.

student

and

Two thirds of Billet 314 is taken by Chuck "Big Dog" Loete and Doug Odette. Chuck is from Washington and two-sport letter winner, while Doug, ex-PB2Y bombardier, hails from Minnesota.

Two Washington men, Jack Duranceau and Bob Ludwick, room in Billet 315. Cousins and both versatile athletes, Jack and Lud make a good pair.

In Billet 316, Bambi Harms from Nevada and "Doc" Haggard hold down two bunks. Bambi is a smooth athlete and A.S.B. prexy while Doc is Commissioner of Athletics and DSTC footbaIler.

Tom Baker reigns in billet 317 across the hall with two zoomies as roommates.

As for the new comers, really a swell bunch of fellows, most of them are from California, Utah, Washington or Oregon.

Pete Peterson, "Pudgy" Mitchell, and "Mus-, cles" Scott hold down Billet 301; Bobby Erickson, "Sax" Gray, and "Shorty" Gurries keep Billet 302 shipshape.

"Duchin" Bainter, "Nevada" Littell, and "Our Boy" Hehn are roomies; Wayne Lichter owns one third of Billet 314, as does "Bondie" Gerson of Room 316.

Billet 317 is run by "Smiley" Lamb and "High C" Jones, although there one old hand cracks the whip.

SECOND PLATOON The first of March saw 20 new men come into the Second, and the ten old hands in the outfit didn't think that there was much of a chance that the Second would survive.

Under the guidance of RPO "Lefty" Jannsen, a fleet man, we have managed to keep pretty close to the top at all times.

The boys of the Second have been active spring football, basketball, softball, dance orchestra, and many other activities.

Maestro Phil O'Neill, whose orchestra is tops, is a member of our outfit as is his crooner and fellow trumpet player, Dick McKenna.

Dee Williams, another member of the platoon, is a "hot" sax player in Phil's band.

in everything:

In athletics we have been pretty active. Paul Reiman has coached all of our athletic teams to victory - or what have you. With "Red" Nelson, John Shepherd, "Ole" Olson, "Red" Howlett, Claude Ross, Dick Rhodes, Bob Pearce and Al Redman, our B basketball team came out on top in the tournament.

Although our A team didn't do quite as well as they had expected, some pretty good basketball was demonstrated by the outfit composed of Paul Reiman, Bill Coolidge, Max Williams, Charlie Zehner, Bob

Rankin and "Tug" Neville. We also have some crack tennis players in the platoon.

They billet in 264; you know them as Don Martin, "Doc" Bennett, and Norm Ness.

Due in part to the combined efforts of Jim Oldland, Kent Newman, Don Robson, Bobby Morehouse, "Smitty" Schmidt and John Mulvey, we have a miscellaneous group in which most of the creative genius of the Second is found.

And the last two men in the Second, but by far not the least important, are the mail orderlies, "Mouse" Erickson, and Les Poklen.

These boys really have a spot in the heart of everyone in the whole platoon. The "Snafuper" Second puts mail above everything else.

In spite of itself the Second has become the best platoon in the Regiment, we think.

We have won the pennant our share of the time and have contributed actively to anything that has gone on around the "Ship."

We had a lot of fun tearing up each others' sacks and hiding them, and hope that the boys that come into the platoon at the beginning of next term are just as good sports and as fine a group as we have now.

THIRD PLATOON With the passing of one year of Navy V-12, the Third platoon sailors have applied a fitting climax to an enviable record.

New faces became quite prevalent in March.

When 20 V-5's were mustered in with the old hands, a complement of 30 men was reached.

Bronzed Californians, fog-drenched Washingtonians, "Utes," "Golden Gopherites," and South Dakotans teamed together, cooperated, and made the Third worthy of the high esteem in which it is held.

RPO Joe Kmiec, a Chicago lad, is leaving for midshipmen's school this semester. Matching Joe's studious virtues, and rooming in the same billet, is Earl Houdek, another "Illini."

Other men graduating at the end of this term include Sam Zahnle, all-conference football selection and boxing sensation; Monty Strehlow, whose other ideal besides the navy gold is a golden haired damsel from his native state of North Dakota; Kenny Higgins, a popular boy from South Dakota and later Fresno State College; and his roomie, Hale Haws, navigation wizard.

Wallace Freitag. all around athlete, lives with the two Romeos of the Third, Alwyn Fox, scholar, and Bob Frantz, who gained a berth on the allintramural basketball squad.

Across the hall

may be found Earl J acobsen, Claude Rainey; and James Durham.

Jake's ability to slam a baseball is paralleled by Rainey's slugging power in the ring and Fox's talent for batting the breeze.

Conscientious students are Russel Lear and Norval Latimer.

When not engaged in educational pursuits they listen to Indian tales sincerely versed by Saul Larson, liberty loving "gob" from Wyoming.

James Curtis, hailing from sunny California, was a mainstay on the basketball team. Carl Decker, "Red" to us all, admires his fellow billeteer and plays a hot trombone for the dance band.

Three Salt Lake City "Zoomies," Eugene Livingstone, Lynne Johnston and Ken Malan, occupying 205, uphold the old saying, "There's no place like home." A few steps aft is headquarters of Frank Connelly. Midnight oil is consumed as he and his roommate, Don Burkhart, patiently strive to stay far distant from the ever beckoning "tree."

Bob Reynolds, Bill Phillips. and Bob Brett, from the evergreen state, live opposite friendly rival Californians Dick Camp, Tommy Hunt and Sid Brock. Leroy Peterson, of Rockford, Illinois, orchestra member and "shutterbug," along with roomie Stan Halla, fleet man, baseballer par excellence and boxer, complete the Third platoon.

FOURTH PLATOON Where's my bed? Are the studies hard?

What's that for?

Is North' Dakota really as I've heard? And in what platoon .am I? Thick and fast flew the questions as the new comers oriented themselves to their new billets - so rapidly, in fact that the "old timers" were barely able to gasp out answers to the most important ones-"Yes, Laddie, every word is true, and you are in the Fourth Platoon." So started the current V-12 semester at DSTC. Now, for posterity, we record the illustrious Fourth.

RPO Leo Phillips has brought the Fourth to the top and never never fails to beat taps, although there have been close shaves.

Eleven months of reference to time tables has made Murry Regensberger our expert on " How-to-get-to-California-in-two-days-on-twentybucks."

Just to show you how much we like Harry Simonsen, we won't even mention prunes.

Lowell Smith and Jack Wilcock sing about those "Swinging Doors," and dream about Navy wings.

Bob Murphy tells jokes about turtles and beer and sings sweet tenor in the shower.

In this corner we have Tommy Giles, middle weight champ of DSTC. Fordham had her "Seven Blocks of Granite." but Dickinson has "A Block of Petrified Wood" in footballer Ron Sockolov.

George Duerr likes plays and George Shepherd, his roomie, likes bananas.

Both are more

complex, but your writer, who rooms with them, doesn't wish to take advantage of the situation.

Paul Hedeen lives down a few doors and takes charge of the mail situation. The Deacon'?

Oh yes, he's still here.

Max Staley and Vince Sempronio both come from Nevada; thus both are card sharks.

Ross Alexander also functions as mail man, and plays cello for Miss Schnoor's orchestra.

Ronald Squires magically produces giant oranges.

Tom Ryan expects to be able to present a toothy smile once more.

Selected on the "B" league all-star team as first string center is Bob Hyman.

Night owl of the platoon is late-studying AI Peretti, as his roomie Don Tooker can testify.

Don Griffith held a rate of RM, second class, before entering V-12 last November.

Bud Widney is an artist despite his muscles.

Big Bob Rawlee eats, sometimes plays electric guitar.

Pen and ink work well for cartoonist Ken Smith.

Sale Johnson runs the half mile for the track team while dreaming of beautiful California springtimes.

Dick Hughes spends his time developing mustaches, which brings us down to the point where, as Chuck Dawson says, "That's all, brother."

FIFTH PLATOON The fifth platoon has been active in many fields this past semester.

Perhaps the most notable activity was basketball, where the Fifth came within one basket of tying the champs.

We have three members of the dance band in our platoon. They are Wamsley, Adolph, and Blunt.

Bill Branch, the cell-mate of Bedient, is ready, willing, and able to accept challenges for horseshoe games from any and all comers.

We next take a look into 117. There we find Bob Porter, the star of many performances of the Cue Club, writing a play of his own.

Porter has really turned in some good work on the stage, and we look forward to hearing of his further successes as an actor. Another occupant of 117 is Al "Sparks" Sanford.

Blunt can be found in here any Saturday morning on his hands and knees waxing the deck.

Across the hall in 116 we find Adolph and Bazlen. We have already heard about Adolph, so now we'll hear about Bazlen. His favorite sports are hunting and fishing, and he is expecting to give the pheasants a bad time.

Vince Bonora is another fellow from the state of California. Everybody likes his swell personality, which is a part of the reason for his getting letters from a certain girl back home.

Vince's roommate in 116 is Duane Wamsley, who hails from Clovis, California, Everyone saw his tumbling on Senior Day, and we really liked it.

As we open the door to 114 we see Cooney, Child, and Elkins. Elkins led a sheltered life before being exposed to the hardships of this navy unit. By way of recuperation he spends 15 hours a day in his bunk sleeping or reading

"Esquire."

Ohild works hard at his studies and concentrates on physics.

Cooney is the boy who really likes to' sleep.

Across from 111 we find Hedden, Middleton, and Banks in room 112. Hedden likes to. put out the effort when leading calisthenics, and we really enjoy (?) getting a good workout.

The Fifth needs only one like him.

Middleton comes and goes as usual, and is always finding his "full" pack of cigarettes empty. Banks is usually seen running around always trying to get nowhere fast and usually succeeding.

The quietest room in the platoon is 108 where Larry Pleasant, Ernie Johnson, and Bob Barkley hang out. Barkley hails from Nevada where "the climate is better than in California."

Pleasant is another one of those quiet guys who wants to revisit Bismarck.

Maybe that's the place where they take a vacation from being so quiet. Johnson comes from Sacramento, and is very active in sports.

Owens, Barger, and Rich are the devoted roommates in 105. Owens played a good game of basketball on our "B" team. Barger recently got a haircut that's a honey. When he told the barber to' cut it short, he didn't think he would be taken so seriously. Boy! was it short, He is happy because, as he says, "Now I won't have to comb it." Rich was an inmate of the sick bay for quite a while, and now says that he will have to. make up for lost time.

Rinta, Bates, and Payton are going strong in 106. Rinta is a good basketball player when he gets going. Bates, a prospective RPO for next term, was quite active on our basketball team and is now the captain of our unbeaten softball team.

Payton is the man the whole platoon likes.

SIXTH PLATOON The ogre in the realms of the mystic unknown uttered a command-the billet jarred violently-blue haze-pen and paper were thrust before me-a hearty, "I know you can do it," rang out. This is it. D Day, H hour.

The Sixth passes in review. Starting with the biggest things, "Gauleiter" Jones is in the lineup. Jones is the man who gives the orders for the platoon and then makes sure that they are carried out.

Along down in 167 Meshbesher is convinced that the train was re-routed through Minneapolis just to get him to Dickinson.

"Golden Boy" Thompson spends long weary hours studying physics and related subjects.

Glenn Morris is the first man in our platoon to be wounded in action. At least that is the impression that you receive after listening to one of the tall tales produced by this Sixth platooner ..

Orv Camp, California trumpeter, performs on the Dance Band and gives out with a few bars of jive at the slightest provocation. Rooming with Camp is Vie Larsen, who deserves' bushels of credit for just doing that.

Dave Mock, resident of Pa:lo Alto, California, and former student at San Jose State College, is a good athlete, and, what is a little rarer, a demon for math, including calculus.

C. Ross Mangum has traveled extensively but still yearns for Memphis and the land from which he derives his nickname, Tennessee.

May McCourry, from northern California, teaches a little mechanical drawing- to students in his spare time, also studies a little calculus.

"Azuza Weepus" Donkin tries and tries to educate Sanger's number one juvenile delinquent

by his own admission, Al Madsen, also known as the "kid with the heart of gold."

"Navy Will" Hamilton sits quietly in the corner, re-writing the Bluejacket's Manual, with a marlinspike clenched between his teeth.

Arnie Martin is a home-bred North Dakotan, who formerly participated against DSTC on the athletic field, now does his bit for, the school.

John Nalond is the platoon's expert on things musical and the like.

"Body Beautiful" identifies Robert Vowles, the lad with the musical sneeze. Fresno has contributed Norm Ambrose to the platoon. Business manager of the college paper, Norm is scheduled to leave DSTC in June.

Scotty Rennie and Ray Phillips hang their hats in the same billet and recall the times they had back in Washington.

Gung ho! The platform deck is up to bat.

"Shay AI" Godfrey hails from San Francisco State and is also a traveler, having been to Canada, Los Angeles and assorted rendezvous.

Rooming. with Al is Kirk Gibbs, another of those boys who wake us up in the morning with that confounded bugle.

Also claiming billet 2 as his home is Bob "Junior" Naas. Junior has relatives in candy factories, it is claimed, so should make anyone a good roommate.

And then in Billet 6 we have Keith Miller, veteran from the first expeditionary force to land in Dickinson; Max Renick, who has been an ROTC officer previously to V-12; and Carl Dahlstrom. the only trainee here who missed the train back from California, because of an overdue ferry on which he was "making like a sailor."

REGIMENTAL The regimental staff of the V-12 Unit for the semester was led by Lemoyne Bedient, regimental commander.

Under Bedient as company commanders were Floyd "Lefty" LeBaron, first com-

STAFF

pany, and Vince Ronora, second company. Platoon leaders for the term were Dick Morsman, "Lefty" Jannsen, Joe Kmiec, Leo Phillips, Tom Hedden, and Mert Jones.

NAVY DANCE BAND Under the capable leadership of Phil O'Neil, the dance band was the highlight of many of the college and DSO dances during the spring semester.

In addition to Maestro Phil, the trumpet section included Dick McKenna, Orv Camp. and Ken Jones.

Will Hamilton and Carl Decker were trombonists while Mack Swain held down the po-

sition of clarinetist.

Al Gray, Paul Hedd-en, and Dee Williams composed the saxophone section.

Duane Wamsley played the bass horn and is also noted for his vocal rendition of "Pistol Packin' Mamma."

Pianists were John Painter and Ralph Blunt, and Al Adolf kept tune on the drums.

Vocals were handled nicely by McKenna.
