Lt, Col. Watt, Cadet Pattillo With typical C-2 spirit and determination we finish another year, and for the Firsties it marks the end of a long struggle. Mac took over the Batt and Pat very capably wheeled the company, while Art and The Deacon led us in seniority. Gerry handled our paperwork as Jake handed out sheets. Bruno found a deadbeat and left the company, but we kept Tyrone ' s love stories and Bill ' s uke music. Rog lived for hockey season and Ozzie waited patiently for Spring and lacrosse; Earl kept the rest of us busy on the friendly fields. Max kept reaching for those stars, while Pete, from the bucket played soft ballads on his vie. Myles is still designing new weapons for us, and the last we saw of John, he was speccing his poopsheets. Don ' s past ex- perience on the farm set him up as our company guide. Big Herm kept us laughing with his humor, and the entire company seemed to excel under the supervision of our tac, Lt. Col. Watt. It ' s been a fine year.

Sf Since we joined B-2 in ' 47 change and differences have provided new interests for us all. Each year we moved. We averaged a new Tac a year. We sadly said goodbye to some classmates and welcomed a couple of new ones. And now there are nineteen who have stuck our four years through . Just as the changes in Tacs and the shuffling around in Old North gave new interest to each year, our own diversity has kept life interesting. We boasted eleven Northerners and two Texans; seven of us were regular Corps Squad files, four could not make up their minds; we have our goats and a star man; we have our eager files and a few of us sacked for all four years. We were different. In everything it was these differences and these changes that made life interesting, whether as plebes whe n we laughed at ourselves or as firsties when we be- came most interested in cars, weekends, June, and the way old B Co. ticked. We have had four good years together. Capt. Gervais, Cadet Smith . : R :r .i,„ll,, , McLean. Millimaii.
