BOMB John Housfon McClung LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA Pre-Medical Camlry Wrestling (4); Shenandoah Club (1); Virginia Academy of Science (1); Floor Committee (1); Intramural Wrestling Champion (3). Johnny, a Lexiiigtonian, should have known better but didn ' t. Although a profound supplicant at the shrine of the Body Beautiful, his main hobljy is eating. He resided in the select Third- Stoop Pre-Med quarters, and was always struggling hard with his academics. His love life keeps him in constant turmoil. Earl Arden Miller NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Electrical Engineering Field Artillery Corporal (3); Sergeant (2); Captain (1); Wrestling (2); Norfolk- Portsmouth Club (1); Presbyterian Club (1); American Institute of Electrical Engineers (1): Honor Court (1); General Committee (1) ; Second Class Show (2); V M. I. Commanders (3, i, 1); Manager, Basket Ball (1); Academic Stars (4, 3, 2). A true brow in the Electrical Department, Earl came back to us after a stay in the Army. He has won stars easily since he has been at the Institute. Wrestling has been his specialty, and he has done a fine job of managing the basket ball team. His bj ' - lines are lots of fun and laughs, plenty of jostling, and a hearty yell. O ,

7 WAR William Freeman Lindsay LEXINGTON , IRGINTA Civil Engineering Field Artillery Corporal (3); Sergeant (-2): Football (i): Basketball (4, i); Baseball (4, 3); Monogram Club (3, i); Shenandoah Valley Club (i); American Society of Civil Engineers li). Freeman was somehow misguided into the Institute. Being from Lexington, he should have known better. He is a Monogram man, featuring in both baseball and football. Aside from being an invaluable help to B Company ' s intramural standing, he is a dependable guy, and is well liked by those who know him. ' Freeman Robert Queries Marston TOAN ' O, VIHGINIA Pre-Medical Cai ' alry Corporal (3); Regimental Supply Sergeant (i) Captain, A ' ' Company (1); Football (4); Class Historian (4, 3, -2); President, Class of ' 44 (1); Secretary, Virginia Academy of Science (3), Vice President (2), President (1); Episcopal Vestry (1); Honor Court (2, 1); General Committee (3, 2, 1); Hop Committee (1); Academic Stars (4, 3, 2). The presidency of the Class and captaincy of A Company serve as a brief illustration of Bobby ' s versatility and ability. Be- hind it all, one finds a deep and logical thinker who enjoys the serious side of life. He will go far as a member of the reserved ' profession. He is also one of the selected few who carried those little gold stars on his lower sleeves. (22)

A Yankee tried and true, Dick has ever shown himself industrious. He excelled in the academic as well as the military fields this year. Not the least of his contributions, besides com- manding B Company, was that of heading the cheerleading section. New York should be proud of him. ' Dick John Burr Piggott WASHINGTON, D. C. Pre-Medical Cavalry Corporal (3); Second Lieutenant (1); Treasurer, Second Class Finance Committee (1); President, Hop Committee (1); General Committee (1); Honor Court (1); Virginia Academy of Science (3, 2, 1), Secretary (3), Vice President (2); Glee Club (4); Episcopal Choir (4); Episcopal Vestry (2, 1); Second Class Show (2); Am- bassadors Club (2). Quiet and nonchalant, Burr will long be remembered for his good nature and happy-go-lucky attitude. A favorite target for Doc Carroll ' s jokes, he will be forever missed from the ranks of A Company. Piggott is a natural woman-killer and an extremely successful party man who will long be remembered. His work with this year ' s Hop Committee was highly commendable. si
