Samuel Quincy Awarded Rating A petty officer rating as a
gunner's mate third class was awarded to Samuel B. Quincy, nineteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Stokel, 24 Arden Terrace, upon his graduation recently from the service school at the U. S. Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, 111. He earned selection to the school upon the basis of his civilian experience and scores made in a series of aptitude tests taken during recruit training.
"Work still progressed slowly because it dwindled virtually down to three men and then down to Vettorino and another.

"Corporal Vettorino was a mason in civilian life in Mount Vernon and without question his past experience enabled him to complete the job. Inasmuch as he's from the 'home of golfers,' the corporal also plays a good links game, his opponents say. He is also rated as an excellent bowler. But regardless of his athletics proficiency the Post says 'thank you' to him for his job on the swimming pool."
Corporal Vettorino is a son of Mrs, Sophie Vettorino of 7 Wallace Avenue. He has three brothers in the—service,—Emilio,—August—and-Louis. Corporal Vettorino entered, the Army July 14, 1942. and has been stationed on the West Coast since last Fall.
