He now commands the second platoon of A. Com- pany. If it wasn't for his language difhculty he would have attained a higher rank, So, to Tom, may we say that we are indebted to you for setting us an example of loyalty and trust.

In sports, he has won no less than twelve letters, eight of which were for varsity participationg and in the way of scho- lastics, he has never dropped from the top ten per cent of his class. As Band commander he did a splendid job in lead- ing his proud and spirited unit, Spooks has showed his wonderful musical ability in the Glee Club and showed his literary talents in the Reading Club and by doing his share of the work in the school paper and yearbook. Bob plans to be a scientist and hopes to make the World a little better because of his presence. In departing, we'll always remember him not only as a true friend but also for the fine standard and example he set for us while cadets at B. M. I.
