Same Old Story

It takes more than a bomb to upset a Dartmouth man, according to a recent report from the South Pacific. Lt. (jg) Oliver A. Quayle III '42, of Washington, D. C„ had a narrow escape from death when a Japanese bomb landed within a few feet of him during the landings on Vella Lavella in the Solomons. Lieut. Quayle, ship's bow gunnery officer, was at his post when the bomb landed. Knocked fiat but uninjured, he picked himself up and remarked on the way back to his station: "Reminds me of the first time I tried skiing at Dartmouth."
