To the traditional pictorial and verbal description of cadet life we have added a special section devoted to the men of Norwich who gave their lives that we might live. Other sections are concerned with a new type of Norwich man-the Veteran returned as a civilian to a military college. Having activated and exemplified the military values of Norwich training in World War II, these veterans have been released from obliga- tory military procedures. This WAR WHOOP, consequently, is unique in representing many Norwich men in civilian re- galia. The Editorial Staff is especially grateful to the relatives of our war dead for their splendid cooperation in furnishing us with the necessary pictures and facts. These Norwich men whom we here memorialize comprise a distinct and glorious group of Alumni. We are very proud of them. The United States of America is grateful to them and to those other thou- sands who gave the last full measure of devotion that this nation might live. CONTENTS I. MEMORIAL II. NORWICH AT WAR III.

We are sorry that we could not secure representation of the remaining dead, whom we honor no less than these. As you turn the pages of this section you will recall some former cadets more vividly than others, but all of these men are precious memories for those who gave them life and loved them. Many of these war dead were comrades of some Veteran now at Norwich. Some Alumnus or Faculty member will recall the older ones and think wistfully for a while on the pathos of human life and the tragic cost of inevitable war. Little did these men think as they trudged up the Hill for the first time that some day they would become members of a glorious Company, of various rank, class, and age-but equally honored and exalted because they gave all that a man can give-their lives. As Norwich cadets they have shared our tradi- tions, sung our songs, moved in these familiar halls, and endured the Vermont winters and the professor's examination. These men took part of Norwich into the conflict in the air, on the land, and on the sea. We were part of them as they were part of us. Though this mystic bond seems to be broken, it is an in- dissoluble relation: they are still men of Norwich. They may or may not remember us. We remember them. Through the horror of war they realized the splendor of their manhood. The nation is pre- served at a very great cost. May we all be worthy of the great price they paid. a N , 6793- -965- cf xx ,zzz-r,-,,. 1, xxgggsfff .f RICHARD LAWRENCE CREED Class of 1916 Colonel, Cavalry, 3rd Infantry Division Colonel Creed was awarded the Mexican Border Campaign Ribbon prior to World War I and served in the Army of Occupation in Germany from 1919 to 1923.

He trained as a hospital apprentice before requesting transfer to the Marines. Upon his arrival in the Southwest Pacific, he was assigned to the lst Marine Division, the unit with which he participated in the action in the vicinity of Cape Gloucester, New Britain. With further training, he was among the units which participated in the landing- and the establishment of the beachhead at Peleliu Island, Palau Islands. On September 17, 1944, two days after his arrival on this island he advanced through a field covered by sniper fire to aid a Wounded marine. Although wounded, he continued, aided the marine, and then lost his life. For gallantry and intrepidity in action beyond the call of duty, he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star Medal.

The mystic bond between the living and the dead is no where more completely realized than in our sorrow and our pride as we close this section devoted to the men of Norwich who died that this nation might live. Pictures and words are at best symbols of a more pro- found reality. These Norwich men who died in World War II are part of an immortal tradition, exemplified in all ages, that for free men there is no choice between liberty and death. For some of us it is eternal vigilance which is the price of libertyg for these men the cost was life itself. To these men of Norwich we say, c'Well done: good and faithful servants. We are grateful to you for what you were and for what you did. Rclquiescmzzf in pace THIRTY-THREE 725 iii! if XX N fu Q E27 b J 1' E -1-lr? -i. -fig. '. ,1iLiil.i-1- ef 5- . 'E ff g 1i-Q..

Norwich students had only to pursue their daily routines in order to ht themselves for the trip along the Road to Rome, Berlin, and Tokyo. The cadets' realiza- tion that the Norwich training was preparing them for trying times ahead prevented many from en- listing immediately in any of the branches of the armed services. However, within a year, the entire student body had been enlisted in one of the reserve branches, principally the Enlisted Reserve Corps. Training was continued in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, for some of the upper classmen were slated for Officer Candidate Schools. The RCTC program had been expanded so as to include both a Mechanized Cavalry Unit and a Signal Corps Unit. The direction of the ERC and ROTC had been placed in the hands of Colonel Estes, re- lieving Colonel Andrew. The training program T IRTY-SIX E HILL became more intensive and included building of gun emplacements, conditioning on an obstacle course, demonstrations of modern weapons, gas and smoke bomb demonstrations, and many other oper- ations which seemed at the time useless but which later proved valuable. With the coming of Spring in 1943, the accel- erated semester was abruptly ended. The entire student body was inducted into active service, some to Officer Candidate Schools, others to basic train- ing and specialized training schools. In fact, so complete was the exodus that even the horses left for active duty. No sooner had the student body left the Hill than their places were taken by a succession of training Army Reservists. Army Engineers were the first to arrive, then the Air Crew Cadets, whose numbers created a crowded condition in the bar- racks and in the classroom. Every conceivable bit of space was utilized. The fraternity houses were used as mess halls and infirmaries, the war tempo had certainly come to Norwich. The following 1 year, the Air Cadets were supplanted by the Army Specialized Training Program, later known as the ASTRP. During this period, a small group of Norwich Cadets and Junior Cadets continued in the regulation Norwich program. This small group of cadets were later to form the nucleus of our present cadet corps. Not to be forgotten are the faculty members who were called into the service of their country either in the armed forces, into industrial research, and those who remained at Norwich to devote long hours to the teaching of subjects strange to them to crowded classrooms. Truly Norwich contributed her share to the winning of the war and fulfilled the wish of Alden Partridge in helping provide the best citizen soldiers in the world.

The War Was not an easy one for either those on the front lines or those on the home front. We all knew dark days When the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor, when they made their rapid and far-flung conquest of Pacific Islands and on the continent of Asia, when the Germans overran Europe and ad- vanced far into Russia, When Rommel was stopped just short of his goal in Egypt, and when our supply lines Were being cut by German submarines in the Atlantic. It seemed that We were faced with insurmountable odds. As individuals in the foxholes, in the air, on the sea, and in the factories, the task We faced Was frightening. We Were short in airplanes, tanks, ships, and almost every implement of War. Men entered the armed forces to be trained in huge numbers, and the home front began to produce War materials in unprecedented quantities. We began to match men with machines into an unbeatable combination. We beat the submarine threat in the Atlantic, Rommel Was driven out of Africa, the Air Force sent Wave after Wave of airplanes over the Continent. The Italians surrendered, the forces in the Pacihc were retaking islands, and then We invaded the Continent on June 6, 1944.

'YN A 'QW ,cl wx M- 'X We continued to advance against the Ger- mans in Europe with occasional set-backs, such as the Bulge, which was not just another set- back for the men who were there, but a battle fought for the highest stakes by both sides. The Army and Navy increased the tempo of their journey along the Road to Tokyo, taking some islands, by-passing others. With the unconditional surrender of the Germans on May 7, 1945, redeployment to the Pacific area was uppermost in menis minds. We faced a long war in the Pacihc, and knew that the invasion of the Japanese home islands would be a hard and bloody encounter. In August, 1945, the flrst and second atomic bombs, dropped from a Superfortress, landed on Japan. With the unconditional surrender of the Japanese on August 14, the happiness and joy felt by the men waiting on Okinawa for the in- vasion, and by those air crews flying daily against the Japanese in the softening-up process prior to the invasion, was supreme, and all those men who were plying their way through the Atlantic and the Pacific en route on Naval Transports from Europe to the battlefront in the Pacific went wild with joy-for the War was over.

Perhaps that roll call had not been sounded, for we were pitifully few in numbers. In September 1945, there were a handful of veteran students in their civilian clothes, the A.S.T.R.P. in the very familiar Army uniform, and about one hundred Cadets in the new prescribed dark green uniforms but with the old, familiar Norwich cap insignia. We went through a dazed period wondering about our new academic life, trying to figure out what the set-up would be like, and feeling that it was going to be a little rough getting back to the business of studying. We were right, it was plenty rough for a while, and then the problem seemed to clear. All that had been going on for the last three or four years seemed to be of an entirely different world, another life that was behind us, and for most of us-best forgotten. We were welcomed back warmly. There were problems and differences of opinion that took a while to straighten out, but it seemed good to be back in civilian life. The Fall Semester passed rapidly. Thanksgiving and Christmas were behind us before we knew it. Then one day it looked as if that sergeant had suddenly developed a very strong pair of lungs and cut loose. Norwich was being invaded by veterans. They were returning by the hundreds, old faces, familiar faces, new faces, and fellows that looked familiar, but you just couldn't think of their names. It was an embarrassed feeling until you realized that they couldn't remem- ber your name either. It took a while to get oriented again, swapping stories, Hnding out what everyone else had been doing, where they had been, and whom they had seen. Naturally there were stories of classmates who would never be back, but that was not new to us, it simply served to make us realize how lucky we were to be back. Norwich's five graduates of 1946, Roger W. Cooper, Northfield, Vermont, Joseph V. DeLuca, Bridgeport, Con- necticut, Joseph H. G. Hinkle, Cincinnati, Ohio, J. Walter Howley, North Weymouth, Massachusetts, and Wallace A. Wright, White River Junction, Vermont, made up one 'of the smallest graduating classes in the long history of Norwich. Although the class was small, it was honored by the presence of the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the newly appointed representative to the United Nations Organization, Senator Warren R. Austin of Vermont. . The largest throng of people ever to gather in the Norwich Armory expectantly awaited the arrival of the popular General on June 9, 1946. On entering, General Ike', was greeted with a tremendous ovation. He was immediately accepted into the hearts of everyone present, not because he was an outstanding individual in our recent history, but because he gave the impression of being just Ike His smile and his personality infected the crowd. Truly a great man had come to Norwich. COMMENCEMENT Senator Wfarrezz R. Austin, Generrrl Dwigbl D. Eixmbower, Dr. Homer L. Dodge Watching the smiling General of the Armies walk down the aisle to the stage, many of those present were touched momentarily with sorrow by the thought that a man not as world famous, but a great Vermonter, with a personality quite similar, was not walking at the side of General Eisenhower. The beloved, admired, and respected General had led his 43rd Winged Victory Division through the island warfare of the Pacific to ultimate victory over the Japanese, but shortly after his return to the States, Major General Leonard F. Wing died. A The members of the graduating class were presented their degrees by Lieutenant Governor Lee E. Emerson, and were congratulated by General Eisenhower. , Doctor Dodge presented the degree of Doctor of Military Science to General Eisenhower. The degree of Master of Military Science, which had been voted by the Board of Trustees to Major General Wing prior to his death, was presented to Mrs. Leonard F. Wing. Doctor of Letters was conferred upon William D. Hassett, another distinguished Vermonter, Secretary to the President of the United States. Russell W. Doctor of Science, and Benjamin Parry of New York was Porter of Pasadena, California, was presented the degree of presented the degree of Master of Science. In his speech to the commencement audience, General Ike praised the Norwich system of training citizen-soldiers. He stressed the fact that the need for leadership is great if support the United Nations Organization. we are to have enduring peace with a strong United States to Plumley, of the Vermont delegation to Congress, attended Senator George D.

WHEDON THE TROOP ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN CADET LFE To be awakened each morning at 6:15 a.m. with the sounding of first call is the fate of every kadet.', First call gives us an indication of three types of men belonging to the Corps. The first type is the one who arises at 5:30 a.m. to prepare for reveille formations at 6:30. The second type is efhciency plus, arising at 6:15, for a quick wash, shave, and shine before formation. The third type is the one who waits until 6:25 to arise and finish dressing on his way to formation. He doesnit realize than he is awake until the lst Sergeant calls, Dismissed The last type is the man you will see walking around and around on Saturday afternoon. He is continually in hot waterf' His professors donlt appreciate his tardiness, nor do they think that his academic effort is enviable. The PMS8cT looks with scorn and repudiation upon his lack of punctuality. His squad does not relish this thorn in their side. This type is in the minority in the senior year, for if he hasn't changed his habits in his sophomore year, the Dean or Commandant will ask him to grace some other university's roster. The second type goes around and around a few times during his stay at Norwich, but on the whole is unscarred except for a slip of the razor in his early morning haste. He should make corporal, sergeant, and possibly cadet major Qmore likely that he will be a captainj. His name graces the Dean's list occasionallyg and his list of Pelier eligibles is long. Considered from a distance, his college career is a successful one, for his experiences in athletic and social activities has been varied. The first type is the one to watch. If he's a rook, and y0u're destined to be a junior buck, be careful. He's the type that knows only one short sentence as a corporal, 'cYou're stuck. His smile is not one of friendliness, but one of joy, joy for himself, but sorrow for you when Satur- day afternoon rolls around. He never walks a tour, nor is he ever late for a military formation or an academic class. He's the type that goes over his room with a damp dust cloth just before inspectiong and when he becomes a lst sergeant or an ofhcer, he moves beds and tables, looking for that forgotten area of uncleanliness. This type may make the Dean's list consistently, or he may have a four-year struggle, so don't try to 'Qspot him by studying that list. You will just have to keep your eyes open outside the classroom. When you find this type, be careful, for even in his last year he doesn't forget that one short sentence, You're stuck.

DANCER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY J ff X. ,ff ,-ff: J ATHLETICS Jr j 'M'-'Ll ff' ,df-43 f 1f v X' w f ' , , f f' if-' THE PROGRAM Varsity sports and physical education make up the athletic program which is being carried out by Director Bucky', Hatfield and his regular staff, Joe Garrity, John Panatier, and Bob Searles. Stan,' Keck as football head coach, Ed Hartman as varsity backfield coach, Joe Cronin as the junior varsity coach, and Aff, Goodrich assist the Director in a part-time capacity. ' Varsity sports are conducted under the same general plan that existed when the general exodus of students occurred in 1943. Any cadet that is not a member of a varsity squad is required to participate in the -physical education classes. Each student takes two hours of P.E. fnot P.T.j a week, with an additional hour devoted to equitation for freshmen. Upperclassmen may elect to take the equitation course. A progressive system of instruction in physical education has been adopted to acquaint the men with such games as soccer, touch football, speedball, American ball, and cross- country running in the fall, basketball, skiing, boxing, volleyball, and badminton in the winter months, and softball, track events, volleyball, and tennis in the spring and summer months. The system consists of the teaching of fundamentals and techniques, practice of those techniques, and competitive games between classes. In all phases of teaching, practice, and competition, leadership is stressed. The physical efhciency rating of each individual is determined by testing three times during the school year, at the beginning of the year in September, prior to the Christmas vacation, and in June. Intramural sports are conducted in conjunction with the physical education program. In previous years each fraternity supported a team in this competition, but with the increased number of non-fraternity men on the hill, teams are entered from each bar- racks, from the pre-fabsf' and from the trailers, in addition to the fraternity teams. The Skull and Swords present a trophy to the winning teams in the various sports competitions. The transition from a war program of physical training to a new Norwich program of both varsity sports and physical education has and is being made.

In the following game, Captain Eddie', French's team started to roll toward the State Conference title by defeat- ing our traditional rival, Vermont, through the effective hurling of Winnie Bellemeur and timely hits by his teammates. Throughout the season the catching department handled by Mel Melendy, and the keystone combination of George Chapin and Hank Liebold, provided the defensive power to tie Middlebury for top honors in the State Conference. Our losses outnumbered our wins, but that fact cannot deter from the hitting of the stellar lead-off man, Hank Liebold, nor the hitting by Eddie French, Melendy, and Murphy. Any write-up on the 1946 baseball team would be in- complete unless the team manager, I-Iowieu Rome, was mentioned.

The coach wouldn't make any season prediction, but called attention to Herb Dean's Hne defensive playing and his steadying influence as captain of the team, to Jack Jones' ueaglen eye and aggressive play, to Bill White's coolness under fire, to the ability of Rudy Benedetti and Rudy Colo, to 'Kjaken and Jim O'Connor, and to the fast aggressive play of Cadet Lieutenant Mauriello.

They were faced with many problems, one of which was the number of hours that some of their prospective players had to spend in study and in part-time employment. ' Five pre-war football men were the nucleus of the new team. Jack Jones and John Suosso were linemen, Jack Daley and Rudy Benedetti were ends, and Chris,' Zoukis in the backfield made up the known quantity. The unknown quantity consisted of thirty-eight other candidates both cadets and veterans. Although we did not win a game during the year, that fact can partially be attributed to the green backfield, and to the weakening of the line through injuries, one of which was Suosso. The season's high point was reached against Ver- mont on Sabine Field after hours of practice in master- ing the T formation. Vermont came to Northfield with thoughts of a one-sided victory, but the spirit and fine defensive play of this 1946 football team sent Vermont back to Burlington with a 0-O tie score.

Fox Fourteen upperclassmen and eighteen freshmen reported to Captain Vincent when the new coach, a Ist Armored Division veteran, issued his call for candidates for the polo team. i A Seven of the fourteen upperclassmen had been members of pre-war Norwich polo squads. Carl Swanson, Andy An- derson, Al Worth, and John Day, the team captain, had three years of experience behind them. Jim Fitzpatrick, Harry Page, and Roger Shope had been members of the polo squad for a year before departing from Norwich. Screening and training of the horses that had recently been assigned to Norwich by the Army was the major problem facing the new coach, his squad, and their man- ager, Al Hordon. The most promising horses were selected for long hours of training by Captain Vincent and his experienced polo players. Mutual criticism between the team contestants aided in the training of the horses and the selection of a first team composed of Day, Swanson, Worth, and Anderson. The enthusiasm and interest shown by this squad, and the potential abilities of some of the freshmen marks this team and the near future teams as ones to carry on the high standard of play that previous Norwich teams have attained. POLO fLefi Io rigblj -' Filzfmiritk, Duyj Team Cllflftlill Szuanmfl, Culmfrrin Vilzrrwl, Conch Pflgr, Sboflr, Wforlb E HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN HOCKEY Potentially we have a strong hockey team, as all the first team players played for Norwich prior to their departure for service with one of the armed forces. The team is coached by Chub', Simeone, a senior civil engineering student, who Was the captain of the Third Army team that Won the European Theater champion- ship in 1946. After the victory of his team, Chub,' was selected as captain of the ETO all-star sextet. Al Cifrino, the manager, is assisting Chub and Lieutenant John J. Santosuosso, the Faculty Advisor, in preparing the ice and equipment for their Hrst home en- counter of a nine-game schedule on January 31. It is the first hockey team since the end of the War that Nor- wich has had. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIG For the first time in its sports history, Norwich has a full-time ski coach in the person of 'fBob Searles. Coach Searles is a 1942 graduate of Dartmouth, Where he was captain of the freshman ski team, and a member of the varsity ski team for three years. Wfhile in the service, he was a ski instructor at the Army Air Forces Rest Camp at McCall, Idaho. He held a class A racing rating from 1939 to 1942, and now holds a class C examiner's rating with the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association. The new coach has four pre-war Norwich skiers on his squad, team captain Bill Peck, Babe,' Sawyer, Bob Emerson, and Gardner Hopwood. In addition to these men, many of the new candidates show promise. The first team with its coach, and student manager, Cadet Captain Arthur G. Taylor, will travel to the Inter- collegiate Ski Union at Ste. Marguerite, P. Q., after partici- pating in the Winter Carnivals at Middlebury, at Wfest Point, here at Norwich, and at the Harvard carnival at Big Bromley, Manchester, Vermont, SKIING RIFLE TEAM The rifle team coach, Captain Ian F. Turner, a veteran of the 34th Division, devoted the first few meetings of his rifle squad to lectures and training films on the use of fire- arms and on marksmanship. Before the actual target prac- tice could start, the squad practiced with sighting bars and performed triangulation exercises. In this training and later practice on the range, Coach Turner was ably assisted by Captain Russell C. Krueger and First Sergeant William S. Kenty. The squad of twenty-five men that reported for the rifle team competition consisted entirely of members of the ROTC, as team positions are only open to those men who are participating in the military program. Valuable experience gained in the service and in game hunting is proving valuable to many of the new members of the squad that have never fired at targets on indoor ranges. The team, after it is selected, will engage in two types of matches. One, the competition between two teams on the same range at the same time, and the other, the postal match which is fired by each team on its home range, after which the results are forwarded to the opposing team to determine the winner.

There were dances, occasional issues of the Guirfon, and informal fraternity lifeg but the majority of the functions called activities lay dormant during the period May, 1943 to February, 1945. With the return of about two hundred veterans, activities such as the Guidon, Maroon Key, Pegasus Players, and WAR WHOOP were not immediately reorganized. We were in a state of transition, but one activity after another got under way slowly and uncertainly. There is a great amount of hard work connected with the reorganization of old activities, and the formation of new activities. The initial outburst of enthusiasm and zeal has passed, the hard work is still with usp Every wheel must be properly geared and oiled before efiicient operation will be reached. Although many of the students are married, and this blissful state takes them away from their normal pursuit of the extracurricular, each activity has reorganized with the intent of building its organization back to its prewar level. New interest and enthusiasm have been stimulated. Individual leadership has been amply demonstrated by those men who have interested themselves in the activities that make up part of the Norwich tradition. Our past year has been a revealing experience in the difficulties to be faced in any reorganization, but the prospects for the future look bright, f Wawg . CARNIVAL WEEK Three short weeks after the beginning of the 1946 spring semester, Carnival Week was held. The Non-Athletic Council provided the funds necessary for this function. A group of students from all classes formed the Carnival committees. Two dances were held in the Armory. At one of these dances, Art,' Burderfs wife, Betty, was chosen Carnival Queen. An intramural ski meet at the tow-hill and a basketball game with the University of Vermont rounded out the week-end. BcHy Blznlrn ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO NUVA Shortly after Carnival Week, the idea of a veterans' organization at Norwich for guiding and controlling the veterans not under the jurisdiction of the Commandant of Cadets was originated in the minds of Stu Ellis and Bill White. The idea was enthusiastically received by the returned veterans. A temporary executive committee headed by Stu Ellis conferred with President Dodge concerning the pro- posed organization. University sanction was received. The new organization, Norwich University Veterans Asso- ciation or NUVA, was to provide liaison between the University and the veteran, and to enforce the rules and regu- lations as prescribed. Walt Howley, Bill White, and Brad Cook were elected president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer respectively. These men with the assistance of other interested veterans drew up a constitution and by-laws which were adopted at the June meeting of the organization. Under the constitution, a student council was established to enforce the rules and regulations, to judge all violations, and to make recommendations as to final disposition to the President of the University. With the graduation of Walt Howley in June, Bernie Flanagan was elected president, Dave Stewart the vice-president, and Glen King the secretary-treasurer. Dave Stewart presided over the Council consisting of Ed Gallagher, Eddie French, Bill White, and Danny Poor. With the passage of the short summer session, a new election was held, as the term of ofhce of NUVA officers is limited to one semester. Dave Stewart took over the reins as president, with Bill White as vice-president, Jim,' Wharton as treasurer, and Ed Donahue as the secretary. Bill White's Council consisted of Joe Cronin, Tom Craig, Lilacs Orcutt, and John Finn. Since its organization in March, NUVA officers have devoted a lot of time to the administration of the organiza- tion. NUVA has definitely answered a purpose in the transition period being felt by the University administration. Walt Howley and his assistants helped establish the rules and regulations which govern the veteran while he is attending Norwich. Enforcement of those regulations has been carried out in an efiicient manner, where otherwise control might have been difficult. The unlimited freedom from academic and social requirements desired by the vet- erans after their regimentation in the services has been moderated by the formation and continuance of NUVA as the governing body. The Council has handled habitual violators in a manner that has been a credit to their judgment and to the school. Absolute secrecy has been maintained by them, so that a man's character and standing would not suffer in the eyes of the group. The entire student body and the University owes a debt to those men who so willingly gave of their time and effort so that the individual and the University could return to a normal social and academic life. JUNIOR WEEK The big event of the 1946 spring semester was the Commencement-Junior Week with General Ike, Senators Austin and Aiken, Representative Plumley, and other dignitaries as guests of the University for the Commencement exercises on June 9. In previous years, the junior class had sponsored the annual Junior Week. This year, this function was placed in the hands of NUVA with committee members to be drawn from all the classes. Bernie Flanagan was ap- pointed Junior Week chair- man by the NUVA president, Walt Howley. Two dances, a rope pull, and a barbecue were held. The entire program was a huge success. The pork bar- becue held in the State Park at Bear Mountain was an in- novation, and one of the more highly enjoyable functions. The work done by Chair- man Bernie Flanagan, Ed Gallagher, John Finn, 'iGlen,' King, Bill C a w t h o r n e, Joe W e i n e r, Eddie', French, and the other men who assisted in making this function a success, was appre- ciated by all who attended. Rope Pull ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE GOLF AND SOFTBALL Participation in golf as an extracurricular activity was favored by many of the newly returned students last spring. In fact, attendance in the sixth and seventh academic periods fell off radically when the balmy spring weather dried up the fairways at the Northfield Country Club., Locating team members, Jack Pimm, Ken Clary, Jim Whar- ton, John Devers, and Sterling Melendy, at this time of day was a relatively easy task. The golf team operated on an informal basis during the past year. It competed in two or three matches, and the members competed in the tournament conducted by the Golf Association. XVith the golf talent which was shown last summer, Norwich can expect a'good team in the coming years when the guidance of the team will again come under the Athletic Department. In addition to golf, the students who attended summer school also had the opportunity to play softball. A league was formed by JoeU Garrity with entrants from each of the barracks, from the trailers, and by those students living downtown. Enthusiasm ran high. Audience participation consisted of the wives and children of the players, and those men who rather watch than play. Jackman Hall won the league championship in the final play-offs upon the completion of a very successful season. - GUIDON The Gziicfon published two or three issues in the spring semester and the summer session, but it was not until September, with a large influx of students, that Howie Rome, genial editor, could secure an adequate staff to build the paper back to its pre-war stature. Assisted by such men as Bob Arthur, Obie', Smith, Bob Dorman, Alu Peloquin, Art Taylor, Bob Crecco, Lazlo Fleischer, the staff photographer, and a host of freshmen, Howie has published a Guirl'01z which has presented the news on the hill with the characteristic humor of previous G1lfd077.Y.

A hasty call was within one week things begin to Homecoming week-encl, it meant Village jam session the first week of seven of the pre-Army-days Grenadiers what could be salvaged of the former put out for prospective members, and shape up, XVith the first job listed for that a world of work had to be accom- plished during the intervening four weeks. Anyone who attended the dance after the Norwich-U. V. M. game can readily vouch for the fact that the seemingly impossible had been accomplished. The Grenadiers were off to a good start W'ith Tommie Boggs on Ist sax, Joe', Bergin on 2nd, Max Max- well playing 3rd, Bill,' Pemberton on 4th, and Al Bucci holding down ' - ' A f' le be inning. A little more Sth, the reed section proved its merits iom ta g work was required in the brass section, but they soon shaped up into a smoothly functioning team. Bobbie Lohman, the untiring young Harry James came back to his old spot at lst trumpet. Two newcomers, Bob', Shailor and Frank', Johnson, moved into the 2nd and 3rd trumpet posi- tions. Don Martin took over lst trombone when Paul Lyon was forced - - .. , H ' b to drop out, and George Centebar slipped into Don s old Znd tiom one seat. Brad', Cook on bass fiddle and XValt Henry and his guitar led the reformation of the rhythm section with 'KDon Garrison coming in on iano and Bob,' Fogg on drums. XVarren Mcll, who used to play 3rd P sax, took over as business manager of the band because he was slated to graduate at the end of the first semester. Kris Kristeller, the junior b 'ness manager filled the vacancy when XVarren left the University. usi , George Centebar's wife, Beebe, rendered vocals with the band and proved very capable in this spot. Starting from scratch, the Grenadiers soon built up a full library of smooth ballads coupled with groovy swing tunes. Playing at various dances throughout the state, the band very quickly regained its pre-war reputation of Vermont's Best Dance Band. Cook Fogg Crazlcbrzr, MdVfi71,I Bark row: Garrison, , 1 ' .

The Players immediately started rehearsing Oscar Wilde's 'lThe Importance of Being Earnestv which they presented in the penthouse style to the student body and in sur- rounding towns. ' The play, with a cast headed by Win Bellemeur, Mrs. Evelyn Chad- wick, and Lynn Bickford, was well received by the student body. Art Goodrich, local literary critic, was high in his praise of the production in the local newspaper. Shakespeare's Hamlet will be presented by the Players before the close of the school year. Win Bclle11zc111', Lynn Birfzforrf, Mrs. Cburfruirlt WAR WHOOP A week before the close of the summer session, a group of students gathered to discuss the possibility for a 1947 XVAR WHOOP. A temporary board was elected with Glen King as editor, Howie Bacon as business manager, and Art', Burden as photographic editor. A new permanent board was to be elected after the start of the fall semester with its influx of new students, but for the most part the old board continued on the job. Our main difhculty was the lack of photographic coverage of events prior to our formation. That fault was partially corrected by contacting individual cameramen. Our staff slowly became undermanned as members were 1 forced to work in their spare time, but by hard work of a few, we have managed to go to press. Howie Bacon han- dled the business man- ager's position excellent- ly, being assisted in pro- curing advertisements by Malcolm L y o n s, Pat Kavenagh, and Bohn Harrington. Jack Behrman and Malcolm Lyons were very helpful in their compilation of statisti- cal matter and their general literary effort, Bob Eck for his liter- ary and art contribu- tionsg and Art Bur- den and Dick Palmer for the photography in our book.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX To promote and further the interest in aviation and flying among the students of the Universityg to foster and perpetuate the idea of collegiate flying as an activity on the same level with other extracurricu- lar activitiesg and to uphold the prestige of Norwich University, is the desire of the newly formed Flying Horsemen. The organization, with Henry Cush- man as president, Frank Buschor as vice- president, Robert Briggs as secretary, and Martin Roque as treasurer, hopes to ob- tain a war surplus link trainer so that instrument flying procedure can be taught to their members. It is also hoped that in the near future an airplane can be secured by the club with flying instruction given to non-flying members by those of the club that hold a CAA flying instruc- tor's rating. FLYING HORSEMEN Slamling: Hay, Lebaron, Azlfzms, Mnrrcy Svalcrf-' Ramsey, Briggs, Cushman, Roqzze, Smith INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club's purpose is to discuss in- ternational affairs, and to stimu- late general interest in matters which affect the world. The club was formed with Ernie Searles as president, Jack Behrman, recording sec- retary, Bob Rosselot, corre- sponding secretary, and Bob Arthur, the publicity director. Dr. Sidney G. Morse is the club's faculty advisor. The club coordinates their moderated discussions with those topics discussed by distinguished speakers of the Vermont Forum.

Preservation of the high ideals and traditions distinctive to Norwich University is the tradition of the society. The members of the class of 1944 who were selected by the members of the class of 1943 to carry on the society were joe,' Bergin, Jerry Collins, Pete Stansfield, Joe DeLuca, Chuck Miller, Jimmy', Powers, and Monk', Montori. Joe Bergin and Njerryn Collins are the only members that have returned to Norwich. Carl Swanson was elected to the society during the past year. Pete Stansheld lost his life fighting for his country, Joe', DeLuca, ChuckU Miller, and Monk Montori are attending other colleges, and Jimmy Powers remained in the Army after receiving a Regular Army appointment. THE MAROON KEY Prior to its discontinuance in 1943, the Maroon Key consisted of two sophomores from each fraternity at Nor- wich.. This year, after fraternities were reopened at the start of the fall semester, the members for the Key were drawn from the three upperclasses. Fitz,' Fitzpatrick and Harry Page of Phi Kappa Delta, Vinnie Vesce and Don Mitchell of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Bill Bradley and Walt Wfatkins of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Mac Mclntire and Dick Keenan of Theta Chi make up this year's Maroon Key. The Key acts as hosts to visiting athletic teams. The organization tries to make the stay of visiting teams at Norwich as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. THE GERMAN CLUB The German Club was formed with Lieutenant Trybulski as the faculty advisor to stimulate interest in, and to appreciate more fully the German language, in addition to providing the means whereby men interested in German could assemble and talk the tongue. ' Bohn Dorman was elected president of the new organization at its first meeting, with Bob,' Kennedy, Lloyd Stowe, and Larry Nergararian making up the executive council. Sfn11f:liz1g.'

Under its new constitution it is governed by an executive council consisting of four principal officers, a representative of the athletic staff, and four students representing the four undergraduate Classes. Art Goodrich was elected president of the new organization whose prime purpose is to encourage and promote various outdoor participant sports, including hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, camping, and recreational skiing. It is planned to hold classes in fly casting, plug casting, and in the art of making dry and wet flies. The club also plans to improve existing facilities, and add other facilities such as cabins, new ski trails, compilation of trail maps, and similar additions for the benefit of outdoor enthusiasts.

The question is not Whether We shall remember the great truths which bitter war has taught us. Rather: how shall We remember? One thing is sure: you do notdance on a grave. There, laughter is stilled and voices quiet. Parks and playing-fields, memorial bridges and air- ports may Well be a part of commemoration plans. But some- where, either as the focussing point of these plans or standing separately, let there be a shrine of timeless, indestructible beauty Where the inspiration of our heroic War dead may be deeply and quietly felt. - originally published by the Barre Guild in fl message to - the general public shortly after the close of World War II.

Mguouocu l mfMilMBERS When the friends of McDonogh School, near Baltimore, conceived the plan to create a memorial to lVlcDonogh men who had given their lives in this war they solved an admittedly dimcult problem in an admirable manner. ln addition to the practical form of providing such physical equipment as would be most helpful in carrying out the school program, there has been created and dedicated a beauti- ful Nlemorial Court, around which the additional facilities will be grouped. As illustrated, this court takes the form of a huge cross in the center of which is erected the simple, yet strikingly beautiful tribute to those whom lVlcDonogh Remembers? A true me- morial, it will remind old McDonogh boys and those of generations to come that these boys gave their lives in order that the ideals for which they died shall be- come peacetime realities.
