SCHOOL COINCIDENCE
FOUR PUPILS IN AIR FORCE Four former pupils of the Hamilton Technical Hig’ °>'hool, G. A. Butt, of Claudelands, G. C. Cox of Te Rapa, R. R. G. Fisher, of Cambridge, and J. Parkes, of Whitiora, who went through the classes together at the school, leave Frankton on Saturday evening to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force as airmanpilots at Levin. A similar coincidence occurred last July, when four former pupils of the school and members of the Technical High School Old Boys’ Football Club, C. H. Butt, O. G. Herbert, D. M. McKenzie and L. Wright, joined the Air Force at Levin. Wright was unfortunately killed in an air accident near Christchurch, but the three others are now on active service overseas.
