19 Enter Marines
NINETEEN DARTMOUTH undergraduates were accepted by the U. S. Marine Corps on May 14 for training classes which will make them candidates for officers' commissions. Seven seniors were picked for the Candidates' Class, which will start three months' training about July 1, and twelve juniors and sophomores for the Platoon Leaders' Class, which will divide its training period into six weeks this summer and six weeks in the summer of 1942.
The seniors chosen were Robert F. O'Brien, Newton, Mass.; William F. Flanders, Concord, N. H.; John I. Orr Jr., Pittsburgh, Pa.: George E. Sexton, Watertown, Mass.; Frank K. Hess, Bronxville, N. Y.; John W. Kelley, Minneapolis, Minn.; and Frank C. Dressner, Malverne, N. Y. The first four are principals, and the last three are alternates whose training will begin in October rather than July.
Principals for the Platoon Leaders' Class, starting training on July 7, are Charles E. Drennen Jr. '42, Denver, Colo.; Stanley P. Wright '42, Hanover; Robert L. Grant '43, Jamaica, N. Y.; John G. Troster '43, Yonkers, N. Y.; Matthew J. Bride Jr. '42, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Walter R. '43, Portland, Ore.; Charles F. Camp '42, Longmeadow, Mass.; and Robert B. Carney '42, Coronado, Calif. Alternates, who enter camp six weeks after the first group, are Aaron G. Wilkins '42, Denver, Colo.; John H. Gilbert '43, Woodbridge, Conn.; Jack H. Zimmer '42, Lakewood, Ohio; and Robert F. Conway '42, Shakers Heights, Ohio. The alternates will be excused from whatever part of the college year they miss next fall.
