The officer candidates at the Statistical School greatly appreciate their short stay at Harvard.
From the banks of the Charles River, they report to battle fronts far flung in this global warfare. These officers collect statistics on the firing line. Three casualties from graduates of the first class have been reported, two killed in New Guinea and one in North Africa.
Whenever a Stat Officer meets a fellow. Stat Officer, a first question is always "the latest from Harvard?" --Major J. J. Heflin
Major Heflin has been a squadron commander at Chanute Field, Illinois. He was Headmaster of Greenbriar Military School in West Virginia for about ten years, and he has been a Reserve officer since 1924. He lives in Dover, Massachusetts, and has a wife and three children. In the first week of June, 1942, he was made Commandant of the Statisticians at Harvard.
Miss Dunham a Pilot
Miss Lyda Dunham, formerly a senior stenographer in the Stat School office, is now in Houston, Texas, with the Flying Training Command as a student pilot.
Chapel Service
There are tentative arrangements under way for a special chapel service at Harvard Memorial Church for the TTS men at three o'clock on Wednesday, February 24. The service will be led by a member of the Chaplains' School, which has in the past arranged for these services for the various classes at the Stat School.
AAFTTS Headquarters
Perhaps Stat School men have from time to time wondered at the identity of some of the AAFTTS officers around the Business School. It happens that Col. Clyde V. Finter, who is the Commanding Officer of almost all the AAFTTS Corps in the New England area, has his temporary headquarters in the dining room of Mellon Hall. There are two Captains, two Lieutenants, and eleven enlisted men connected with the office. Captain O'Shea is the Administrative Inspector, and Captain Roehs is the Adjutant. Lt. R. F. Jones is the Judge-Advocate and also the Instructor in Military Law for the Statisticians. Lt. F. W. Brandon, who is the Assistant to the Adjutant in this office, is being married in the South while on an official business trip to North Carolina.
