Wartim .e memories ofllt. Bill Dickey D wing the recent salute to many Harbor High World War ll heJOel m tbe military service, this corner-and with regrets -failed to mention one of the classy Navy pilots named Lt. BW Dickey. Dickey, who. grew up in Balboa, was an outstanding vanity bueball player for three yean under two coaches, the late Ralph Reed and the late Dick Spaulding, who also coached the 1938-39 football teams. Dickey earned numerous honors as a fighter pilot, but the two most noteworthy awards featured the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. He was decorated with both medals in San Diego. The military report said, "The Distinguished Fl~g Cross was won for aiding in repelling an attack by an overwhelming surface force of · Japanese battleships, cruisers and destroyers, which attempted to destroy bis lightly protected carrier division in the decisive sea-air Battle of Leyte Gulf (Philippines)." The report adtied, "He won the Air Medal for intercepting a large formation of enemy bqmbing planes striking at the ~vasion ships of . Layte Gull. Durtng the attack, be destroyed part of the eru!my air force and helped to turn back the raiders before they could rucb their objective.• Lt. Didtey also participated in the major campaigns at Saipal) a11d 1\niail in the South Padfic. Dickey, a graduate of SaJ\ta Ana Junior College, matche(l up wilh bis teammate, Sparks McClelllln, a '39 T~ gridder, by Oytng a Navy HeDcal McClellan also earned numerous honors durtng WWII. Dickey's younger brother, Don, a regular on the '48 varsity basketball team under Reed, also drew recognition from the Navy years later, when he sustained a ~erious eye injury performing his task for the Navy Seals. After serving numerous years for a major airline, Bill Dickey retired andJnOved to Dam Point He and another Harbor High grad, Glenn 0.

He tl).en shifted to 4 Pensacola, Fla. to learn bo'k to Oy and was then directed to the South Pad.fie for ~ction. One sterling event that came about with Don Dickey'~ '48 class was seeing tb.e varsity baseball team win the championship. What makes it bigger loday in the history books is the fact that no other Harbor High outfit ever won a baseball title in all the other years. The key to the title came wtth the arrival of a fabulous leftrhanded pitcher named Frank Hamilton from Portland, Ore. He was 6-foot-4 and burled the ball at wild speeds for a prepster. In fact, he was offered a I SS0,000 contract from tbe New York Yankees at the end of the season. But he let il pan in favor of ex>llege. • Newport bad a blg boost for Hamilton when be came to Harbor and that was an ace catcher named Bill Weatherwax, who later advanced to a club with the St. Louis Cardinals. Weatherwax played five years for an Idaho cl1Jb, then teturned to the Harbor area where he worked for the Costa Mesa Fire Department. then the Costa Mesa Police Department. lie still lives in Costa Mesa. The major event for some to celebrate this month is the 5~ wedding anniversary for Coach and Mrs. Al Uwin. They were married back before WWD limited their activities. Irwin served as a swimming instructor for the Navy at the Great Lakes 1\'a.ining Center before taking an assignment to become a flight deck officer in the South Pacific.
