Two former West Chester State Teachers College students have won their silver 
bombardier wings and commissions as second lieutenants in the Army Air Forces 
at the Army Flying School at Midland, Texas.  They are:  Francis R. MONTORO,

Henry R. GRONINGER, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Groninger, 819 Bellevue 
avenue, Laureldale.  Lieutenant Montoro was a physical education instructor and 
salesman in civilian life.  He attended college here from 1939 to 1941 and was 
outstanding in track and soccer.  Lieutenant Groninger, who taught music in 
public school, graduated here in 1941.
Private Warren N. TEMPLE, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Temple, has recently been 
transferred from Camp Lee, Va., to the 60th State Hospital in Fort Meade, Md.  
Temple was home over the Fourth of July.  He telephoned his parents last night 
for his bathing suit, stating they have a wonderful pool at Ft. Meade.  He 
hopes to get home this week-end.  They are building a new State Hospital, and 
he is now waiting to work in it.

A cablegram recently received from Private Lynford KAUTZ, to his parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. J. R. Kautz, near Malvern, states that he has returned to Northern 
Ireland after a period of maneuvers in Great Britain.
Private Herbert ANDRESS, formerly assistant manager of the Warner Theatre, West 
Chester, writes a friend, the card being dated San Francisco, Calif.:  “At last 
I am traveling around the country.  Next it will be the world.  It was two 
years ago since I was here.  Going out of here via water.  Hope everything is 
well with you.  See you if and when I come back.”
Albert E. D’ANNUNZIO, who is with the 29th Engineers at Camp Blanding, Florida, 
writes that he likes the column about the men in the armed forces.  He is 
seeking a transfer to the Army Air Corps.  Just recently he qualified as the 
fourth highest score man in his company for the .30-calibre M1 rifle.
