His service record includes duty at a B-20 navigator travelling about the U.S.. incidentally having a good time, with the war ending one day before he was to leave for overseas. Bud remains a Second Lieutenant in the reserve. Golf and weight lifting are sources of enjoyment for Bud in the sports realm, while, in addition to speculative philosophy. building radios is a major hobby. He expects to enter his fatlier ' s business, that being beer distribution, in l ong Beach. Jerome E. Reed, out of Emmetl. Idaho, by the . rmy . ir Force and Alaska, has distinguished hinvelf variouslv. Having a shock-resistant, beer-proof personality, he has forged through Claremont Men s College with its first three years. He has sold real estate to local rock-lovers, he has accounted for local firms ' expenditures, and he s raised c hie kens. His friendliness is easy. His elbow bends easily.

May. and the ANA- LYST, the Terror of the N-Units looks like a definite threat to the business world since his 20% ad commission check always bulges pt the end of the month. More readily found on the golf links of Red Hill or Don Lugo. Tank has gained campus notoriety for his sports versatility and hard play. Planning to enter the field of manufacturing upon graduation, those of us who knew him will remember him as a real hustler. in the spring of 1948 a young man named Austin (Woody) Woodward came to Claremont. After briefing the North Campus he arrived at his billet in the Vet ' s units. Neighbors gathered to view this smiling soecimen of athletic manhood, noting assorted stickers on his valise: Fou tain Valley. The Blackhawks. Montana State College, and Occidental College. Woody has been a light in the mundane CMC existence, not only for his literary accomplishments with the ANALYST (finally getting a tern at the tiller), but also as: Liter.-ry Editor of AYER. composer of CMC skits, swimmer, student of golf and other noted extra-curricular activities. Come June, amid hardy handshakes and sighs from the N C. Woody will put the sheepskin in his pocket alongside a ticket for either Switzer- land (graduate study).
