n Appreciation LI. COL. JOHN L, The Staff of the 1954 Bomb wish to exjjr ess tlieir thanks to Colonel John E. Townes for his aid in jjrodncing this book. His advice, quietly given, has been of invaluable service to the editors and managers of the staff . His understanding of business affairs has enabled him to advise soundly and beneficially in every case. Our thanks are also proffered to Mr. Robert Jeff ' rey for his advice in the publication of this edition of the Bomb, for without his help many obstacles would not ha e been surmounted. We wish to take this opportunity to e ])ress in some small manner our ajjpreciation to both of these men for their kind assistance in the |)n)duction of the 19.54 Bo.mb.

A Job Well Done COL. mu ft. PANCMt Three years ago, the tenure of office of Colonel f ' rank R. Pancake as Com- mandant of Cadets began. The ensuing period of time has been filled for him with long hours of work, difficulties, misunderstanding, and with it all, a marked im- provement in the administration and appearance of the Corps of Cadets. The job of Commandant is perhaps the most difficult at VMI, for no course can carry with it rewards in every field. Laxity may produce popularity, but at the same time may result in lowering of standards of appearance and conduct. Harshness inevitably produces conflict. The man who leaves VMI this year knows full well the trials of the office which he has filled, for his experiences have run the gannit from conflict to prai.se. During his three years as Commandant, Colonel Pancake has brought about a revitalization of speed and efficiency in administration of the guard, a revision of the regulations, and a marked rise in the standards of appearance of the Corps. His road has not been easy, but he has never turned from what he thought to be right. He has given more of his time, strength, and heart than is required of a man, and it is with a realization of his sincerity and faith in VMI that the 1954 Bomb renders to Colonel Frank U. Pancake a salute for — a job well done.
