COL. THOMAS GRIESS HISTORY After muddling our way through two years of build-up, we finally culminated in the ultimate history course, ART. Names like Alexander, Hannibal, Marlborough and Napoleon gave us a better picture of how men make critical decisions like Gusta- vas Aldolphus ' turning movement at Chancellorsville or the decision to use nuclear weapons at Waterloo. Occasionally, facts became a bit confused but all in all, we were given an interesting and enjoyable historical perspective of our profession. First Row: LTC C. Miller, LTC D. Mets, COL R.

COL. WALTER J. RENFROE JR. FOREIGN LANGUAGE Bonjour Senor! Welcome to the Department of Forei} n Languages. Little did we know that our accomplishments in the foreign tongue would assist us in our survival in the cultured mess hall. After these two years we could impress our future platoons by giving them orders in Espangluis of Franglais, and leading them through any l)asic situations which we might encounter. Some of us learned that Yearlings too go on special inspection, and when you walk into class your language better be looking good as well as your shoelaces. When we lost all confidence in understanding our short stories we were always l)oosted by a most comprehendable lecture, and of course a chance to sleep in a little late that morning.

Magasin CPT T Mitchell LAW They told us that we were preparing for our day in court. After studying Schneli V. Nell and the old Palsgraaf case we found that the Defenders and Perry Mason had it all together to pull off what they did. We also learned how the laws of today were de- rived as we made a valiant assault on the study of legal philosophy. Although many of the decisions we carefully pursued were logical we found ourselves faced with a bat- tery of legal terms which we had to overcome. All in all law was enlightening and helped make us jurisprudent students. COL. FREDERICK C. LOUGH
