MARTIN FINNERAN Flarb Sergeant First Class Carbondale Pennsylvania Winter Track-4g Spring Track-4g Dean's List-43 Y. M. C. 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.

Besides being the top ranking cadet in the school, he is in the first quarter of the Senior Class academically. Despite his small size, he is also one of the best javelin throwers in the school. This proves his great versatility, Although he assumes a lot of responsibility he has a won- derful personality and is one of the most popular cadets. Frank is going to the Citadel and plans to follow a military career. So best of luck in the future, Sarge, and may all your ventures be very successful. W . iQW
