k .gif auch. ci? Z 61 915041, i COMPANY OFFICER FOURTEENTH COMPANY When the Academic Board had finished with their doleful delibera- tions at the end of Plebe Year, our sadly depleted ranks looked a little too thin to undergo another Maryland winter. Reinforcements arrived in the form of six good men and true from the First Company, but even they could not prevent another sweeping victory for our pedantic masters the following year. The F utile Fourth then became the Forlorn Fourteenth as our battered little group gathered itself for the last effort. That dreamof an easy First Class Year soon went up in smoke as we struggled and groped our way to the finish. A motlier collection of characters has seldom been assembled inside these gray walls. At times the antics of some of our more outstanding personali- ties reminded one of the bizarre settings of a wild nightmare. The wishes of the individual rather than any intense company spirit prevailed as each man went about his chosen way of getting the most out of his Academy career. Each man emphasized the thing that he thought most important, but we all tried to have the most fun possible under the existing system, and amazingly enough, we succeeded despite the limitations of that little black regulation book.

Ulomer Raymond .Wdrianse GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN I' -' ' V Hot Rock, the nickname that has fol- I 1 lowed Homer since his plebe year, des- 'l' cribes the pride and joy of Grand Rapids s to a Ht. Easy-going, yet hard working, he would let nothing divert him from his work except, perhaps, a certain home town girl. In fact, the flow of mail from and to Sue kept his room- mates aghast at the ability of Uncle Sam to handle all of it. Hot Rock's activities range from being one of the more accomplished golfers and bridge players to being the lighting manager of the Fight- ing Fourteenth's wrestling team.
