► THOMAS RICHARD GORDON Tom B-2 Saint Petersburg, Florida It is said of Tom that he knew everybody; while this is not completely accurate, the error is negligible. He has managed to pass by the Tactical and Academic Departments unscathed. ' Through the grim murk of it all, he has kept his ready smile and good humor — assets which are sure to pay off in the future. Sergeant 1; Track 4,3,2,1.

RODNEY FLOYD GRANNEMANN Rod L-1 New Haven, Missouri From Missouri to West Point proved to be a small task for this smiling, easy-going red-head. Possessed with a magnetic personality and an easy smile, he has many friends. Cow year found him adding to his many activities the job of being one of Army ' s Mule Riders.

CLAYTON IMES GRANT Imes K-2 Dallas, Texas One who is not necessarily satisfied with a placid life, Imes has presented the T.D. with some unique problems. A fine example of this is the time he organized a mountain climbing expedition on spring leave. However, through it all, Imes has demonstrated a steadfast adherence to his convic- tions, a trait which should serve him well in the future.

JOHN WILLIAM GOLDTRAP Goldie L-2 Casper, Wyoming Coming to us from God ' s Country, John took a while to get accUmated to cadet life — in fact he ' s still working at it. Never one to sweat things too much, he always found time to write letters or contemplate life in the security of his brown boy. Here is a man whose spirit, determination, and dependability will assure him success. We are proud to count Goldie among our real friends.

EUGENE KENNETH GOODELL CoocIy B-1 Portland, Maine They said it couldn ' t be done; they said no one could talk at a rate of three hundred words per minute. But for four years now Goody has proved them wrong. When he is not talking, playing his trombone, or representing one of a thousand activities, he smokes. We will never forget Goody ' s quick humor, unbounded energy, and devotion to Maine.
