With the members of the Social Science Department using our adventurous sporting spirit, instilled by our morning basic science courses, to our full disadvantage, we became infamous authorities on government, economics, history, and political theory. It only took going deficient by the three week plan to realize that the members of this department were serious about the courses they taught. Maybe if they had put some of the more important facts in a Reference Data Pamphlet only half of us would have been on the Dean ' s other list, instead of all of us. However, it took us only the short time of three years to learn that to give the impression of first section, Rhodes Scholar material, all we had to do was to mumble a few references and talk fast. If we had only learned this technique as third classmen our social science courses would have been even more educational. Basically, in the limited time available, the members of this department gave us the rudimentary framework upon which we will be able to build our future knowledge. In view of the limited expenditure of our precious time on the seemingly impossible assignments, they man- aged to give us the needed preparation for coping with the problems that we will encounter in our future careers.

PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY Under the auspices of the Department of Physics and Chemistry, we learned to appreciate our plebe and yearling mathematical backgrounds. The Department also prepared us for the grueling science courses that we strug gled through during our Cow and Firstie years. These extensive introductions to the wonders of our physical environmen presented to us by the Department became for some the most interesting courses during our four years. ' Many liked the courses and some even studied We learned to take advantage of the question and answer periods at the beginning of class, and to squeeze every bit of information out of the appen dix of our Chemistry Problems Booklet and the Physics Reference Data Pamphlet. Many times it became aware to our professors that we had sue cumbed to the call of our Brown Boys the night before and were going to rely entirely upon the poop session before the writ. As a result, some of us went D and the rest went D-er . When the long battle was over, though, and we had survived all the trials that Yearling Year had presented us, we realized all the knowledge we had gained. We had struggled and come out on top and looked forward to the thermo, fluids, solids, juice, etc. that the following year would present to us. COL. E. A. SAUNDERS COL. D. G.

MILITARY HYGIENE We were always reminded of the distinctions each one of us possesses. But, these characteristics did not include what the Department of Military Hy- giene so handily prevented by its all-out effort. (There were no cases of air pollution or suffocation in rooms.). Through lectures, films, and many mnemonics I Cleanliness is next to Godliness !, the Department thwarted medical complications and developed a healthy class. In our new places of responsibility, we will discover the wisdom of the Department of Military Hygiene to be of value and will put it to good use. Ambitious, we thank the Department for its helpful advice. COL. J. H. VOEGTLY Cpt. R. J. Summary, Col. J. H. Voegtly
