Mug knows what he wants, and nothing can stop him from being a fine officer. Academics could never be classified among his predominant interests, nor could scholarli- ness be called one of his traits. He was usually to be found trying something new in the way of sports or activities far from his books. Demerits were plentiful for him, but efficiency placed him high on the rank list as well as high in the respect of his classmates.

' JIM ' Copley, Ohio 14th District, Ohio This high-flier didn ' t wait for graduation to start pointing for the stars, but began to reach for them from the top of a vaulting pole during his plebe year. In season and out, he pounded the runways striving for that extra foot or half-foot, and usually getting it. Never one to be long embittered by the system, Jim was often brought back from the depths of gloom by a single neat turn of his wit. Life ' s great whirl left him unruffled. He took what it offered.

" BILL " Alexandria, Virginia 8th District, Virginia Throughout his career as a cadet. Bill got along well not only with his classmates, but also with academics. His ever present smile coupled with his innate ami- abilitv and cheerfulness rapidly lay the foundation for lasting friendships. Bill will always play the game, for fun or for higher stakes, with a coolness and de- termination that will be hard to match. In the future he will undoubtedly prove a credit to the tradition that is West Point. Undoubtedly the South Area Senator is headed for big things.
