Organization shows in corps’ bearing September had not begun to wane before fac- ulty and even visitors noted the sharpness of AMA’s ’66-’67 corps. Sitting en masse at a game, marching to Sunday dinner, or cheering on the front field, the corps was ebullient. Football games, a buffet supper, first Sunday vespers, new classes, new roommates, and the first Monday permits p rovided the corps with diversion, introductions to traditions and one another . . . and introductions to the Halls. Bracing had died at Augusta! This was great news for new cadets and a bit of agony for the old. Yet, reluctantly the old cadets realized that the new spirit stemmed in part from the new frontier of freedom for the new men. ACTION IN THE STANDS ... The corps maintains high spirits which help keep the Blue Streaks in action on the field. Bill Neal, Marc Minkoff, Craig Lewis and 402 more keep cheering for a big win.

Making the scene at Columbia Press conven- tion was Col. Savedge, who gave three lectures on yearbookology. Right up there, too, was John Botcheller who just managed to have Nancy Musci there to represent her school.

Revenge was sweet, however, with the advent of AMA’s famed “Night Raiders”—victorious with the proof in full display in the Mess Hall. 16
