FIRST CLASS First Row. P. Bunch, P, Baltimore, M. Johnson, R. Thompson, J. Boehm, P. Terry Third Row: J D. Herring, R. Morgan Fourth Row: J. Lazzeri, K Swain Second Row; Marcello, J. Hunn, J :. Wagener, J. Ward, W. Price, D. Green, Biddle, C. Kuehne, T. Fricks, T. Carman B-1 Once upon a time in the tough, military First Regi- ment, an accident happened. The GE 225, in one of its weaker moments printed out a joke and called it B-1. In later attempting to correct its error it programmed four iterations of Tactical Officers. Thus the stage was set. Unsuspecting on 1 July 1966, the B-1 Class of 70 passed Snuffy ' s going North for the first time. Our path to infamy wasn ' t the yellow brick road we anticipated. Rather it was dilapidated 9W. Our pugnacious spirit decreased geometrically from Beast Barracks WETSU through Yearling RASBAAA to Firsty Stay alive and out in five. Our company of hard corps bachelors took 75% casualties from its encounters with the opposite sex. Al- though dubious as Yearlings, it appears now that Father Time had been moving steadily, although imperceptibly, toward the seemingly unobtainable goal of graduation. Looking back over our four years as cadets, the friend- ships made and experiences gained far outweigh the negative aspects of cadet life: T.D., OPE, SAMI, MIE, SCJT, CB, NCB, pre-AOT, AAA 101, PH 202, EL 304, GE 401 . . . Well, maybe it was a toss-up. 74

FIRST CLASS First Row; G. Forsythe, J. Avery, F. Basta, B. leper, J. Bryant, J. Efchechury Second Row.- E. Albright, J. Leckerling, C. Newcomb, S. Starrier, P. Viehl, R. Morrison ' Third Row; P. Richard, B. Cater, S. Muse, C. Lini e. fourth Row; T. Millar, H. Roberts, W. Olson I C-1 After going one entire year believing that the Tactical officer was no longer a requirement for C-1, and that firstie year would bring the good life, we awoke to a new menace, the RED DREAD. However, after blowing his mind at the first beef call we settled down to our normal madness. With 50% getting married, you would think that C-1 couldn ' t raise the roof, but you ' d never prove it by CAT, LECK, or EARL JR. who spent one entire June Week in their own Twilight Zone. C-l ' s contribution to the cultural environment was the MUSE- VIEHL Infantry Officer ' s Professional Library which will be a constant guiding light throughout our five years. Poor HERB couldn ' t find the fountain of youth in Africa, and RAM-JET was so busy working out that he never had time to tell him how old he really was. BRUCE went on to higher heights and TOAA shot for stars. AVE bought the only Vette and zoomed off into the wild blue yonder. Our own singing sensation, STEVIE WONDER couldn ' t quite out-noise HECKLE and JECKLE. With SMOKE STACK on the ski slopes and BAMMA ' s head beginning to look like one, the only person you could find no weekends was ETCHEURY sitting con. Who could forget LINKER ' S getting two rings over ring weekend? And of course our new Positive Leadership fourth? class system may enable BARNEY to run for quite a while. We lived safe, knowing that we had our own tactical NEWK. I 76
