FRIGID FLAKES of snow creep up Joe Kennedy’s pants legs, receiving the careful scrutiny of Col. John Dekle who thinks Joe has been snowbound more than ski bound. L 3 i j : ' : { j ‘wemmessn Leaving the spirit of Christmas past and getting into the spirit of Augusta present was not an easy one. Heads had to turn to academics — painful prepara- tion for mid-term exams. A rash of infir- mary blues which reared its head was nipped in the bud by the commanding figure of Mrs. Mollie Canevet, ready with the thermometer to see who was trying out for the ‘‘Oscar”’. No one believed that a library club could be brought into existence, but Capt. Harry Davis succeeded. A new newspaper display case, new furniture and Gruhn-donated books swept men into the library to partake of the Davis- laden offerings. Capt. Davis almost ran HEADSTRONG — HEADFIRST William Creekmore tacks up 9 points in his pike lay-out position during the Massanutten meet. The revived Augusta men won 74-15. into a competition scene with his daily movies on subjects ranging from life in Alaska to production of windows. After the exam hiatus sports events mushroomed in basketball, fencing, swimming and riflery. Volunteer attend- ance at sporting events did not show full corps support except in the ‘‘big’’ games. “He thinks a lot like us.” ‘“He’s liberal minded just think, he’s going to drive us to Afton for a ski day.”’ That day did materialize when winter arrived for a brief stay in the area. Disillusioned about the lack of dances, Dave Brown, Luis Marien and the Band men whipped up a sudden success. At- tendance was limited to 15 couples, but the taped music received an ovation. New students appeared on the scene, too, all twelve of them. The winter blahs of '72 failed to appear. ARTISTIC TALENTS of Dave Hamilton and Jim Dollenmeyer spring to life for an “’F’’ company banner proclaiming that F”’ is best in an attempt for the weekly award.

QUEASY, BUT DETERMINED to make the first trip up and then down safely, Tom Galifaro and Richard McCaffrey bump into the chair lift up Afton’s gentle slopes. SHAKY, not snow spattered yet, Ward Northrup steadies himself for the first time ever on skis. Afton, close to Walton’s mountain, uses artificial base. HOW DO YOU STOP THESE THINGS? Lars Steib tries new techniques for one used to the water variety. Line up men in the rear watch his fate before deciding on a trip upward. O 30—SkiDay
