Ill spite of frequent liustr.itioii in liis cllorts to convert liis tone-cleat P Unit neighbors to appreciation of classical music. Leonard Bud Ciiuda- coff persists in his contemplation of the finer things of life. In this vein. Bud states that the study of Hegel has been his chief interest at CMC. Eight colleges are listed among the sixteen schools Bud has attended. These are. in order. Santa Monica J.C., I,. CC. Creighton U.. UCLA. Columbia, and Claremont Men ' s College with classes attended at both Scripps and Pomona. 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. And he falls asleep easily at th e dron of a U. S. Government Manual. He figured as the Vice President of the CMC NLinagement Group, and achieved success with Vandermeulen. Benson. Jordan and Carter (not to be confused with competitors Batton. Barton, f unstan Durstan). Jerry, as his canitalist friends call him, is at home here. He. his wife. tb ' r cat, and their powerful model A live in box 215 at the post office, Claremont. Harry Tank Tancredi. 23 year old senior from Wilkes-Barre. Pennsyl- vania, has tramned the campus of CMC for the past two years. No new man at college life, Harrv spent a year and one half studying engineering at Iowa State, with further efforts at Southwest Texas State Teacher s College and Woodbury College. He joined the Air Force during the war. being commissioned a second lieutenant navigator in Europe. Currentiv dividing his interests between his wife. 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). Iceland (slave labor), or Pasadena (52-20 Club).

It is rumored that their origin was Etiwanda. a nearb hamlet which, by odd coincidence, has also been the recent residence of Richard Baughnian. DicK is perhaps the nrst student to complete his entire college course at CMC, having accelerated a year by taking 18 units per semester and attended one summer session since his arrival in September, 1946. Prior to admission Baughman served 4 ' 2 years in the Air Force as a supply officer, of which all but one year was spent in Panama. The Major dismisses sympathizers on this score with the joyful ( omnient. delivered in all seriousness. It was swell. Beyond expressing a desire to remain in Southern Cali- fornia. DicK declines comment on the future, being far more concerned immediately with the arrival of a gradu- ation present, — his second child is expected at about the same time as the sheepskin. Bill Collins came to CMC after having attended Wayne University in Michigan and serving in the Arm . Bill plans a career in the public utilities field. While many ol us came to college on parental suggestion in part. Collins enjoys the distinction of having been advised bv the late Henry Ford to attend college.

Sunshine Freddie Duckett, since he s sung the same tune at Harvard Military Academy, the University of New Mexico and Arizona State I eachers College. Hailing from San Marino, Cali- lornia, the Tall One spent two years in V-li before entering CMC in 1946. Known for his hustling on ()lleyball courts, at race tracks and aboard Balboa schooners, Fred looks forward to a trip abroad this summer. Upon return in September he expects to enter the life insurance business here in Los Angeles where competition runs deep, but his astute knowledge of chance pla and odds should add immeasurably to his premium policy and future success.

Perry had a record of ten different schools attended even before starting college, and has been to Stanford, Menlo J,C,, and CMC since then. Such is not the case, however, as mention of South America brings that far away places gleam in his eye during discussion of post-summer school plans.
