NVe didn't have to learn to love him, for everyone just naturally docs. Among other things, he is by far the most gifted lounge lizard of whom we can boast. He has never disappointed us, and we know that it is safe to expect great things from Our Yerks in the future. '66 L. l-T11 li IP I

Captain of the riHe team, too, and out to hold at N. Y. M, A. the big trophy won last year by Edwards' team. i We like Al not only because he is a square and success- ful oflicer, but for his generosity, his amiability, and his other numerous good qualities. He is picked for a success and we hope it will be his, full measure and running over. A 67
