COMPANY ADJUTANT Once again Western Mass. claims the golden laurels as one of her true sons leaves his mark upon the ivy-covered walls of M.M.A. Bernie , as top engineering midshipman, efficiently and pleas- antly led us through our final year at the Bay with memories naught but gay. If Jim doesn ' t know, ask the Great White Father . We all ad- miringly give praise to the sparkling qualities of leadership that enabled him to carry on diligently in the face of unsurmountable odds — namely, that nest of engineers . It is not a daring risk to predict that this boy has a very bright future in the offing! BERNARD AMERIGO COCCHI 144 Pease Rd., E. Longmeadow, Mass.

Bombing down to Buzzards Bay in his high pow- ered Chrysler, Aronbeak from Winthrop Creek was destined to become the uncrowned dealer of M.M.A. Tipping the scales around 210, the Bloop soon exhibited his weight lifting prowess on our 0-1 forward and came through with his letter on the gridiron. Arnie ' s maneuverability on the dance floor soon taught the fast stepping marn- bo queens in British Guiana a new twist, but in spite of his dash and dexterity with the calypso strains, Arnie ' s greatest accomplishments have been recorded in the dining room. Arnie ' s carefully plotted deals for the week were always calculated one step ahead of City Hall and his nightly- sorties with Winthrop hospitality will not be for- gotten. This boy ' s versatility has enabled him to conquer any problem, for life will hold no mys- teries for Arnie. ARNOLD ARONSON 79 Terrace Ave., Winthrop, Mass.
