WINTER FUN 0 26 — Ski Trip MASKED MARVEL, Luis Iglesias, glares from behind his mask, not even upset about the loss which his company suffered in the all-afternoon snow battle. ‘‘A” won. FIXTURE for years, Roscoe doesn’t let a few inches of snow stop him from sweeping it off the steps of Deane’s Castle. Over 65 years of age, Roscoe carries on. Everyone had cried for snow, ex- cept for Col. M. H. Livick. Suddenly the snows came with a vengeance. At least it broke the monotony of winter. Afternoons were free for ski trips down the slopes of Jordan's hill and for sledding on the hills from Old Stone Church. Battles raged between the com- panies, with Nicholson's ‘‘A”’ smothering the others in blankets of snow. The ‘F’’ men contented themselves in pitting the fifth graders against the sixth graders, with the smaller ones winning the battle. Basketball games came often with a night off from study hall when the time was a 7 p.m. starter. Afternoon games did not attract the crowds, since athletic practices continued in fencing, riflery and early tennis try-outs. New cadets looked upon the snow bonanza with distaste. The cold winds whipped around the corners, literally freezing the un- fortunates of “A” and Band. Old cadets did not make them feel bet- ter when they said ‘‘You should have seen the real winter when I was a new Cadet.” LILY VALLEY could be Valley Forge for the members of “‘F” Company on a snowy after- noon of battles and sledding on the slopes.

BONANZA AT WHITE HALL ... Mrs. Bill Bullock and Mrs. M. H. Livick serve Ricky Jones and Mal Livick at the basketball banquet. 0 28 — Eating Open Wide MORE, MORE! Mike Perez's eyes glow when he sees the amount of food Mrs. John Dompe dumps on Carl Wuliger's plate. Open Wide When food is mentioned, AMA cadets can come up with all sorts of conversation pieces. Some claim the eggs in the Mess Hall just have to be the powered kind. Others describe bacon—and no one would even want a piece if bacon really looked that way. Care packages from home did soothe the study hall aches which came on nightly. Unfortunately everyone knew when anyone received a Care package, and the contents disappeared within se- conds. Special meals in the Mess Hall did bring about a good press for Marquis Food Services. A turkey dinner, a Latin-American meal and Tony’s Italian special soothed some and just make Gordon O'Connell, Al Hodges and Steve McAdams gain more and more and more.
