010 — School Opening MIXING OGETHER None of the officers complained when the order arrived at home to report to school two days early. They were the first to know that Col. M.H. Livick's order was out to turn over a new leaf. New cadets didn’t even notice that the lines they had to walk were sharper and that they couldn’t talk to one another. They just obeyed. When the old cadets returned, they knew and said much ... but in a short time, they fell into the swing of things. With Mike Perez as the B.C. it was the first time that a cadet of Latin-American origin had become the top man. One day less of orientation meant one more day of class. Faculty reac- tion to the corps was positive. “These cadets are a notch above last year’s group,” stated Col. Paul Hoover, Math Department head. LONG GREY LINE takes shape ... in only days. Second year man Billy Huegel takes it in stride for the first Sunday parade of the school year.
