Lieutenant James J. Cassity from "Somewhere in England" writes: I'm especially anxious to cc anyone who still retains in some corner of his memory a bit of Al Cass's tired rendition of that "Temptation" tune. Yes–that was a while ago, and I'll never forget the fine reception the Jaysee guys and gals used to put forth for that "tonsil twister." I've been in the Army for two years and now I'm pilot of a B-24 Liberator, called "Starduster." This is the fourth Starduster–and what happened to the other three is another story. I'm no longer a shavetail. And in my so–called spare time, I sing for an Army band. That joker in the picture (the little guy) is stabbing my bony chest with a D. F. C. for eating all my vitamin pills for the month. And that's the story of this junior birdman. Lieutnant James Cassity Receives the Distingushed Fying Cross.

Lieutenant Glenn G. Riley USMOR Editor, 1944-45 Campus, I've been a First Lieutenant in Corps for sixteen months. At present I'm on an atoll, in the Central Pacific, flying Corsair fighter planes in Marine Fighter Squadron 224. Our job is to strike enemy-held atolls around us. I have about forty-two missions. I received an air medal in November, at the present time have been out here for over eleven months. A short time ago I forced down and spent three days in a life raft; this was not due to enemy however. As for my past–I was graduated from P J C where I was Odion restrictive club president, Restrictive Inter-Club Council President and Public Relations Secretary in 1942. I entered Los Alamitos N. A. S. in July, when I began training as a naval air cadet. After this I was graduated from Corpus Christi, following which I went to Jacksonville, Florida. Here I went through an operational course in TBF "Avenger" torpedo planes. Finishing this, I was sent to Santa Barbara M. C. A. S. Where I transferred to fighter planes, joining V. M.F. 112. In March of '44, 1 was sent overseas a replacement. Sincerely, Glenn Riley

Hello, I'm an old '38 to '42 man. I began my Alleged career at Jaysee by being elected frosh prexy, and then fiddled with politics more later by being pep commissioner and junior Class President. Had a hand in some AMS deals, was a Lancer, and climaxed all this by losing a race for ASB prexy to Bob Hublein. 0. S.F. had me as president once. All this was back in the days when "ossiffers" fought the Areops; when Herb MacDonald ruled, Tom Mallory uncovered his "dreamteams" in the Rose Bowl before record crowds, and we had two campuses. All great days to recall! I spent one and one-half years at Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Arroyo Seco, as a designer, in line with the Mechanical Technology courses I had at P. J. C. Now I'm serving with "Sammie's" quite famous submarine service. My home, at present, is the "Capitaine", which is one of our newest, and (may I say-it?) best subs. Have spent over a year becoming a radio technician for this here Navy and have traveled all over the country attending the necessary schools - San Dieqo - Chicago - Washington, D. C.-Frisco-New L o n d o n. Naturally, I find my present duties very exciting and interesting, but like the rest of us men, I look for the time of returning. I often smile in remembering my old Jaysee days and am proud to be called one of the old "Bulldog" alumni. Norman Stanger

Lieutenant Herb McDonald, USNR, writes: I think you have a fine idea for this year's Campus and one that will be appreciated by every one of us. P. J. C. has always been good to their boys and gals in service. As for myself, I'm afraid I haven't a very impressive record, but the following makes it known why I want overseas duty so much. I started my service duty January 13, 1942, As a S 2/c; became a Cadet (Aviation) June 12, 1942; commissioned as Naval Flyer November 16, 1942; instructed Basic Flying November 27, 1942, to September 21, 1943–won an appointment to Radar school. September 21, 1943, to March 1, 1944—became a Radar test pilot—found 30 states testing and then was sent to Vero Beach, Florida, as a Night Fighter Instructor and have been doing that for the last six months. Now I feel it's my time to go overseas. I should win my promotion to full lieutenant in another two months,
