Here is news of three sons of Mr..
and Mrs. Adrian H. Onderdonk, st.
James School-Adrian H., Jr., Rich
ardson Latrobe and Andrew.
End Lieut. Adrian H. Onderdonk,
Jr., graduated from the Air Forces
Officer Candidate School at Miami
Beach, Fla, on January and is
now directing vital administrative
and supply operations of the rapidly
expanding Army Air Forces ground
forces.
Enlisting in the Air Corps
two years ago, Adrian quickly rose
to the rank of staff sergeant and for
year was head of the technical air
forces school at Luke Field, Ari-
IONA. Last September he was per-
suaded by his commanding officer to
enter the officer candidate school at
Miami Beach, and three months la
ter he and brother cadet were re-
heved of all duties at the school,
and ordered to organize their own
technical aeronautical school. They
were given officer status and carried
on until the class graduated on Jan.
8, when they finally received their
commissions at the graduation ex-
ercises.
The second son, Pfc Richardson
Latrobe Onderdonk, is taking a
special course of study at the Uni
versity of California. This lad, by
the way, is a striking example of
''stick-to-itiveness" of American
youth, that makes it impossible for
us to lose this war.
Enlisting in the National Guard
three years ago, he tried for the Air
Corps but was temporarily turned
down because of slightly defective
vision. Not to be licked, he took
special treatments to correct his
eyesight and year later was ac-
copied. Sent to Roswell Field, New
Mexico, he advanced step by step,
but finally washed OUT on night
flying, just as he was in sight of his
goal. Still refusing to be licked, he
went back to the enlisted ranks
dug in, and later was selected fo1
the special course he is now taking
