SENIORS EVANS, WILLIAM “Will” became one of the most popular cadets in his three years at Augusta. He is by far the best-natured boy we’ve ever met. His patriotic enrollment in the United States Air Force will always be remembered at A.M.A. Happy land- ings, Will—we recognize a future officer when we see one, FOX, PETE Not much can be said about such a quiet boy as Pete, but those that know him best have found his sterling loyalty undiminished. As a “B” Com- pany corporal he did a fine job and we are sorry to see him depart from old Augusta. FURBER, GEORGE P. George, with his Boston accent and Yankee habits, will long be remembered as an honor stu- dent. We wish him great success at Harvard next fall. Good material will never go to waste. -

1942 BERRY, WILLIAM “Bill, a third year cadet, was off to a slow start, but this year he made quite a showing of himself. His work as a member of the Honor Committee was fair and just. His record as a swimmer was enviable. Last but not least, was his outstanding football performance as a begin- ner on the varsity team. Good-by and good luck. CORT, JOHN “John,” ex-John Powers model, has made many girls swoon at his glance. His leadership in the band was outstanding. We know we have been bidding adieu to a “killer.” DEAN, DONALD “Duck” came here four ago as a mere duck- ling, and is leaving quite a grown man; that is his past. His future holds many bright moments. Industrious and witty, we bid farewell to Donald Dean.

142 GUERRANT, MORRIS “Punchy” has seen many handfuls of leather in his five years at Augusta. Captain of the Box- ing Team and good looks are sure to recommend him well at the University of Maryland. May the Champ always wear his crown. — HAMILTON, ELBERT “Unk,” most military of our cadet corps, is, out of ranks, easy to get along with and happy- og 1 go-lucky. President of the Student Body, big brother to everyone, Unk leaves us a fine example of American Youth. His qualities of leadership will stand out in the hearts of all as a Lieutenant in our United States Army. HANKEY, STACY “Stacy” lived up to his name by grinning bash- fully through his three years at Augusta, Silence is golden, however, and we know he will achieve great acclaim as a youth entering life.
