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

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.

ACADEMIC COMPUTER CENTER w Bottom Row: Sp 7 Berg, Sp 5 Presberg, Sp 5 Pfeifer, fcpt. Mansi, Ltc. Luebbert, Miss Sullivan, Sp 5 Sabato. Hop Row: Sp 5 Sherertz, Sp 6 Parker, Cpt. Preston, Maj. Parker, Ltc. Lombard, Cpt. Leech. Deep down in the bottom-most stall of Te Ole ' Riding Hall, we find the den of that light-blinking, paper-devouring, oversized, adding machine, called the Academic Computer Center. Amid the flashing lights and incessant typ- ing, a cadet can compute the odds for the next weekend ' s football games or have the pink monster spew forth Go Army, Beat Navy signs. In the dazzling array of twinkling lights and rotating tapes we bridged the gap between everyday math and science, and the super-sophisticated world in which we will live. The officer-instructors of the ACC soon made us realize that we could, and would, control this monster. While some of us became expert in the use of this important analytical tool, all of us learned its importance to military science and technology.
