New Jordan ROTC Captain Loca Applicants Describes Ordeal in Korea Pacs
Capt. J Parry Cannon, now in charge of the Jordan High School ROTC, recalls the Korsan conflict with blunt pride. He earned the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts after a night climb under Communist fire, later losing a leg in battle and returning to a desk job in Long Beach. He plans to stay in Long Beach during his two years in Jordan. Born in St George Utah, he has lived in Santa Monica 12 years. He seeks more blood donations as the center faces the upcoming Missy Ball. Certificates of proficiency in national business entrance tests are being received from the Long Beach NOWA chapter for typing, bookkeeping, machine calculation, and stenography. Highest scorers include Ann Curtis, Patricia Fisher, William McClurg, and Elston Moore from several schools and firms. Testing is set to run March 1 to May 30, with Center planning open dates.
