A.-45 Band-3, 4. joe, better known as Flash to all his buddies, first feasted his eyes on B. M. I. in early September, 1954. Most of the boys who lived in the A house with him, will long remember his easy-going disposition, for he hasn't made an enemy in the two years he's been with us. Flash wasn't very keen about sports, but he had the will power to stick to it and become good at least at one sport. He started track early in his first year and has become one of B. M. I.'s best runners. This drive to do better should help joe be a great success after his graduation. Good luck. We all wish you the very best in happiness and success. FRANCIS L.
