The flying officer was introduced by Lieut. Chester T. Corse, adjutant of the Army Training School here. He received an ovation on his introduction and when he had finished.
"No wonder the R.A.F. has such a fine reputation," one soldier said as the group left the hall.

Men with good voices or those with just melody in their souls are being sought by Cpl. Presly Wetherell, director of the chorus, to expand the ASTU chorus into a full-sized glee club.
"Dr. G. Wallace Woodworth of the Harvard Glee Club has made available to us the entire Glee Club library," Wetherell said. "With his generous help we have the chance to develop an outstanding organization. Men who want to sing on their own time, not the army's, are the fellows I'd like to see."
A song sheet is being mimeographed for all members of the unit, and Corporal Wetherell predicts that before long people in Cambridge will be eagerly waiting to hear the ASTU voices floating on the summer air.
"Now we'll all know something besides "Yankee Doodle Dandy," Wetherell said. "That's a good song, but we want to get more variety."
