GEORGE DAVID HARRINGTON B-4 Albuquerque, New Mexico He came from a far off land where the snowcap- |)eil mountains reach to the sky and the desert lay at his feet and all the land worshipped the sun. He had dreams that reached to the mountains, and a quest for gold brighter than the sun. He had a loy- ally bluer than the sky and a heart bigger than the land he was from. But more than this, ... he was a man.

RICHARD HENRY HARRIS, III Houston, Texas H-2 GERHARD B. HARTIG Jeannette, Pennsylvania F-3 MICHAEL JAMES HARWOOD Alexandria, Virginia I-l Rich was always a hawg leader — the first man down the ski slopes, the diver who went the deepest, the lineman who tackled hardest, even the first man to the final line on the parade. Rich was always head and shoulders above the rest and will go far in whatever he does.

Always looked to for his mature and wise advice, this self-appointed sage employed his years of service experience to teach us the way things are done in the real Army. Pops will go far as the real Army regains one of its prize troops. German Club 4, 3; Honor Committee 2, 1. Regimental Investigating Orfii-rr Nobody will forget Has. His pullout factor exceeded that of many cadets. This ability enabled him to conquer many all-nighters, talk his way in and out of situations, and to go 6 out of 7 with T.D.
