The sower was a man of excep- tional vision and action -a former student at Dartmouth College, a graduate and former Super- intendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and a retired Captain of the United States Army. His name was Alden Partridge, founder of the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy. Through the changing for- tunes of war and peace, political fads and educa- tional theories, Norwich has maintained its original identity and perpetuates today the vision of Captain Alden Partridge. To Captain Partridge, the military aspect of the school was an essential and highly useful ap- pendagev to the civil education of his students, which would qualify', them for the correct and efficient discharge of their duties. . ffwhen th country may require their services. It is to the development of this military aspect of Norwich that we devote this section of the 1 C Q55 WAR WHOOP. DEVELOPMENT OF THE MILITARY When the Ameri Military Academy opened its doors to prospective 9, It was staffed by six professors. The can Literary, Scientific and cadets in 181 military cadre consisted of one man, Captain Partridge himself. The military cadre at Norwich today consists of 21 officers and men. In his ca- pacity as 'CProfessor of Military Science, Part- ridge taught military law, permanent and field fortifications, field engineering, the construction of field batteries, artillery, the principles of gunnery, a complete course of military tactics, the attack and defense of fortified places, castramentation, ancient fortification, the ancient tactics, particularly those of the Creeks and Romans, with a description and discipline of the phalanx and legion. As the military concepts of the world changed, so did the training at Norwich change. In the I82O,S, the Academy offered, in addition to militia training, the best instruction available at that time for naval officers. This course in navigation and seamanship was so efficient that many lieu- tenants and midshipmen availed themselves of the instruction afforded. Captain Alden Partridge then moved his institution to Middletown, Con- necticut, in 182 5 to expand this naval element in Norwich training, but unfavorable action by the Connecticut State Legislature caused him to return his institution to Norwich in 1828. In 1866, the Cld South Barracks in which Captain Partridge had organized his first academy, burned to the rw. A. 'swrswk - vw A3?,,,M,,,,,,,....:t,s.,,,,. , , . 1 - . V it ' - A- 1 , 1, ' ,.L..

In 1898, the Legislature of the State of Vermont gave formal recognition to the University by making it the Military College of Vermont and authorizing commissions to its faculty as members of the Governor's staff. For several years the cadets of the University formed a Reserve Officers Training Corps of the United States Government - a position they held until in 1918 they were constituted a Students' Army Training Corps of the United States by act of the government and the consent of the trustees. As the full value of the use of cavalry in the overall military picture began to be realized, Norwich switched its emphasis to mounted war- fare. just after the armistice of 1918, Norwich was reconstituted a Senior Division, Cavalry Unit, Reserve Officers Training Corps, the only Cavalry Corps of that character in the United States, and it so continued until the official change from Cavalry to Armor in 1950. At present, Norwich is assigned Armor, Engi- neering, and Signal Corps ROTC units. Addi- tionally, Mountain and Cold Weather Training is available to qualified basic ROTC students of these branches on a voluntary basis. The dynamic and creative value of Alden Partridge's basic idea of a citizen-soldiery is attested to by the increased enrollment, the new facilities for technological and scientific study, the new barracks, and the new Student Union building now in the process of con- struction. Norwich is proud to have been the initi- ator of the ROTC training program which is so general in American colleges today. Norwich is especially proud to have been classed, year after year, by the War Department as c'Distinguished Military College, Class MC? Upon completion of the first year basic course, each cadet enters upon further training in one of the fields assigned to Norwich by the Department of the Army. Cadets who meet the prescribed physical and other requirements are formally en- Norwich, Verrnont.

At the beginning of each academic year certain students in the senior class are selected by thC President of the University and the Professor of Military Science and Tactics for scholastic excel- lence, outstanding qualities of leadership, and aptitude for military service. These cadets are designated as Distinguished Military Students, and upon graduation, if otherwise qualified, are eligible for direct appointment into the Regular Ariny as second lieutenants. One of the notable features that distinguishes Norwich from other military institutions is the placing of full disciplinary responsibility upon the non-commissioned and commissioned officers of the Cadet Corps with the supervision of the Gom- mandant. Noizwtcn AT YVAR War was the sounding board of Alden Part- ridge's philosophy of education. Here would be the Hnal test. Norwich men had already made their mark in the civil affairs of the country. What would be their record in conflict? In 1847, Truman Bishop Ransom, then Presi- dent of the University, resigned his office to ac- sion for service in the Mexican War, m was killed while leading his command at cept a commis Ranso the battle of Ghapultepec. He was the first il-, lustrious example, the prototype of a citizenry- trained-in-arms. In the Civil War, 599 graduates of Norwich were activated. Among the great generals was Grenville M. Dodge, while many other Norwich oliicers gained distinction. General Dodge later distinguished himself as the builder of the first transcontinental railroad. Admiral George Dewey, who attended Nor- wich from 1851 to 1854, gained fame in the Spanish-American War. He completely destroyed the Spanish Fleet in the Pacific and became known as the Hero of Manila Bay. You may fire when you're ready, Griclley is a phrase familiar to every student of history. There were 738 Norwich men active in various grades in World War I. Eighty-seven per cent of these men were commissioned oflicers, and of all those who were commissioned, sixty-two per cent held rank above second lieutenant. There are positive records of twenty-tive citations made to Norwich men, and there are known to be many other citations of which we have no positive record. Within twenty-four hours from the time the news of this country's entrance into World War I had reached Northfield, the President of Norwich, ifW'Q8Q!.'z:1 Two views of the campus as it appeared in the early 1900's. Norwich University as it appears today. Col. Reeves, was speeding to Washington to be- come part of the active forces of the United States. At the end of the war, he became military head of the A.E.F. University at Beaune, France. As for World War H, commencement at Nor- wich in 1943 witnessed the departure of the entire Cadet Corps of 500 men to service with the armed forces. The Army Air Corps designated Norwich as a training center for future airmen. During the fifteen months that Norwich gave pre-flight train- ing for the Air Corps, it sent out a total of 1,722 future pilots, navigators, and bombardiers. Coinci- dent with this program, Norwich also offered its educational facilities to the Army Specialized Training Program. Over 1,200 young men re- ceived a combined academic and military training to prepare them for entrance into the armed forces. In addition to all this, more than a thousand Ver- mont War Workers received specialized training through courses conducted by Norwich under the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training Program sponsored by the United States Office of Education. During World War Il, there were 1,673 men in the various services. Of these, I5 were Generals, one was a Rear Admiral, 170 were Colonels, 210 were majors, 314 were Cap- i9l tains, 538 were Lieutenants, and 425 were enlisted men. In addition to these men in our own armed forces, sixteen of China's World War II Generals received their training at Norwich. The 1947 Me- morial Edition of the WAR WHO0P contains the photographs and service records of 71 Norwich men who made the supreme sacrifice, and the names of 1 5 others for whom we could not obtain pictures and detailed records. The inspiration for such a tradition is part of the heritage of every Norwich cadet, a constant challenge to his man- hood, and a reminder that the blood of the patriot is the very foundation of the state. For over a century and a quarter the men of Norwich have taken part in every war in which this country has been engaged: on the western prairies, in the Everglades of Florida, on the plains of Mexico, in the hills and valleys of the Southland, on the surf-beaten shores of Cuba, on the banks of the Marne, on the poppy clad Helds of Flanders, in the jungles of Bataan, in the steaming heat of Guadalcanal, in the bitter snow and cold of the bulge, in the mud at Anzio, and in the rice paddies of Korea. In all of these, we find the embodiment of Alden Partridge's dreams - the Norwich man - the citizen-soldier. 0 6 giriiixg ff 52: N ig-I-g g-gl , A e AR T10 Y I 0B Armor, the successor of the famous horse cav- alry school throughout the Army, stands as the oldest branch of the ROTC unit here at Norwich. The majority of Norwich graduates are still being sent to the Armor School at Fort Knox and from there to service in this branch. The Armor section is situated in the Military Motors Shop, using five M-47 tanks and several trucks, jeeps, and a weasel for instructional pur-' poses. They also have numerous other engines, weapons, and varied training equipment in con- stant use. The new M-47 tanks, which replaced the old M-4's, are a tremendous improvement and morale lifter for the instructors and cadets alike in the Armor Section. just having these expensive tanks Cas well as other equipmentj shows the es- teem in which the ROTC units here at Norwich are held by the Army. Due to weather conditions here at school, we have adopted a system of gaining practical experience in the operating and fighting of combat vehicles in the fall and spring, while receiving the necessary classroom instruction in theory and administration during the cold winter months. The Honor Tank Platoon, under the auspices of the Armor section, gives its demonstrations and represents the unit in parades and ceremonies. The task of instruction in Armor is delegated to a staff of ofiicers and non-coms assigned to Norwich by the Army. Not only are these instructors re- sponsible for the training of cadets here at Nor- wich, but they also help to train the same cadets at the Fort Knox summer camp the cadets'junior and senior years. S GNA One of the most important branches in our present-day Army is the Signal Corps, whose duties are many and varied. Their primary duty is to co-ordinate and inform the various combat and service units in the course of battle. The Signal Corps is also responsible for security, photography, public relations, visual aids, and many other ele- ments of warfare. Lt. Col. Hantzes, with the able assistance of Captain Mathey and MfSgt. Thrash, conducts the Signal Corps ROTC Training at Norwich. Courses are covered in radio operation, wire laying, tele- phone communications, and cryptography, as well as supplementary courses in military law, tactics, repair, and supply. The Signal Honor platoon is composed of the Cadets enrolled in the Signal Corps who have shown themselves to be superior in military and academic subjects, and leadership. The Honor Platoon does more for the school than any other honor platoon by providing communications for all Forum events, athletic contests, and for Ski events at Stowe and Mad River Glen. The instructors in the Signal Corps teach the Cadets not only to strive for perfection in the military subjects, but also to strive for the highest degree of friendly co-operation among men. 11 l,.lL.l lil l.l.l-I uuu l-l Emi :' : ' EFF . 1 QW? 53545 T ENG NEER This year, with the addition of another oflicer, the Department of Military Engineers has contin- ued its expansion of facilities. Although the branch is the newest at Norwich, having started in September 1951, it has grown steadily. An example of this growth is the Society of American Military Engineers. With increasing membership, the so- ciety has been able to conduct an annual field trip to the Loring Air Base in northern Maine. This experience coupled with bimonthly meetings, has brought a greater interest in military en- gineering. The instruction involved in Combat Engineering is basically practical, a much needed variation from the theoretical work of college classrooms. A course such as Bridging'l is good background for any engineer, be he in military or in civilian ser- vice. This and other instruction in demolitions is given by the head of the department, Major Kershaw, and two assistants, Captain James Wel- cher and SFC Richard Kregier. Probably the most vivid memory that the seniors have of military engineering is summer camp. At Fort Belvoir, Virginia, the principles taught at Norwich are put to use in rigid training. Complete bridges are assembled and torn apart in a matter of hours. This and other feats have been accomplished with hard work on the part of both instructors and cadets. Although the Engi- neering branch is relatively new at Norwich it has certainly proven itself and is here to stay. M UNTAIN and WI TER WARFARE This is the eighth year for the Mountain and Winter Warfare Troops here at Norwich, and they have now established themselves as a permanent part of the University. Nylon rope, pitons, snap links, and the piton hammer are their main equip- ment in the fall and spring, in the winter months these are replaced with the necessary ski equip- ment, plus the ever-present ruck sack. This special equipment readily distinguishes them from the rest of the Corps. The main purpose of this course is to teach the future officers the art of moving troops and equip- ment over rugged terrain and to instruct in the technique of surviving in cold weather. In the sec- ond year of the course the upperclassmen gain valuable experience in helping to train the mem- bers of the freshman class who join on a volunteer basis. This unit is under the guidance and instruction of MfSgt. Stanley P. Walker, veteran of World War II. He is ably assisted by Cadet ISI Lt. Floyd K. Palmer who has taken full advantage of the training offered in Mountain and Winter Warfare. 13 W? W 4' ,l ,.t1... ..- mf-..-J , 1 ,Q 4 1 . I F, ,. 51-11:34 fl- W,A,,,.A:4: Li ,.. LS- , , f'-F :,.. i.

Hayes C ASS 017 1955 'l'ht- Cilass of 1955 has shown its superiority over tht' past four years by putting on a VVinter Carnival, in 1952, and a Junior Uleek, in 1954, that sur- passed all others. This was accomplished by superb lt-aclvrsliip, shown by the class ofhcers, and the wt-ll-knit and cooperative efforts of the rest of the class. In this, our last year, the leadership has been carrie-cl through by Dick Allard, our President for tht- last thrcc ycarsg Bill Hayes, who took over the X'ict'-Prvsidciicyg Sam Ferguson, who continued hisjoh of Sccrctaryg Jack Hamel, who repeated his job with thc funds, as Treasurerg and Dom Pas- salzicqua, SCl'QCE1I1I-Eli-1AxI'IHS. .35 Q V t l30l We have shown what a homogeneous group we have had throughout the four years at Norwich by being outstanding in academic, military, athletics, and social activities. The class which entered Nor- wich in September of 1951 was the biggest to be admitted up to that date and will graduate as the biggest class on record. If we could look back over the past four years, we would be able to see the precedents we have sustained at Norwich and additions that will only be recognized when we return for our reunions. The feeling of the class as a whole has been and will continue to be that we have added to Norwich, and Norwich has greatly developed us. 3 ROBERT MAYNARD ALEXANDER Robster Irasburg, Vermont Bob Robster Alexander is a C.E. major who utilizes his time between his studies and his weekend excursions to Green Mountain Junior College. f'Robster,' can be found playing basketball every Saturday afternoon and is thus nicknamed HOld Reliable .

His activities in- clude everything available, and when he finished them, he was working on details to help someone else. He is. beyond a doubt. an athlete, scholar. leader, and perfect gentleman in every sense. There is no question in any of our minds that the name. Richard Allard, will always remain with us, perhaps not because of his major leats. but of the little, unwritten things that he always had time to help us with. We know that wherever he may go Ior whatever he may do, success will always be his. Cadet Cpl., Sgt., 2fLt.

A definite asset to any team he's ever played with, Dale will be greatly missed by everyone. f'Dr. Dalen is also a member of the famous Montgomery-Grubs-Sinatra team of top-notch scholars here at N.U.

Prouty, Presi- dent, Charles McLaughlin, Vice-President, Gene Haywood, Secretary, jack Hayes, Treasurerg and Richard Moriarty, Sergeant-at-Arms. This year several members of the Class of 1956 hold vital positions in the Cadet Corps. As sergeants these men are largely responsible for the efficiency that characterizes the Cadet Corps, and Norwich itself. Next year will be another milestone for Nor- wich, as the cadets will all be eating in the new Student Union. It is up to the members of our class, as officers, to lead the Corps in this new ven- lL1rC. Our class has spent many long hours in prepara- tion for Junior Week. Under the able leadership of our general chairman, Richard C'Flea Moriarty, we hope to do a bang-upjob. Another task that is largely due to the Junior Class is the production of this book, the WAR WHooP. As you read these pages, you will see that the editor, Bill Lafayette, and his staff have done a tremendous job. It would be impossible to mention the names of all those who have co-ordinated the efforts of the Class of 19565 however, without the co-operation of each member, the past three years wouldn't have been as successful as they have been. 8 l f I I li NICHGLAS ADAMO DAVID F.

Wfith the grim memories of our c'Rook 5' training behind us, every- one looked forward to the freedom and inde- pendence of our second year. Since a new organization needs new leadership, our first class meeting dealt with choosing our ofhcers, who turned out to be: Bill Riedl, President, Ray Humphrey, Vice-President, Jeff Behuniak, Secretary, Bob Ring, Treasurer, and Don Morton, Sergeant-at-Arms. Once again, the members of our class have con- tinued to bolster the power of Norwichis athletic teams. Frank Wfisinski, John Begiebing, and Ed Calacurico, on the gridiron, Bill Tucker, on the basketball court, Bruce Gillies, Jack Inman, and Connie Dutcher on the ice. All have shown that the class of 1957 is an asset to Norwich. As on the athletic field, the sophomore class has its outstanding men in the classroom and on the drill field, taking advantage of their learning in preparation for the future. Wfe of the sophomore class believe that with our fine training, morale, and eagerness to learn, ours will be a class long remembered.

Nichols SKULL and WGRD The Skull and Swords is the Senior Honor So- ciety of Norwich University, standing for the tradi- tions and maintenance of the Cadet Corps. It is essentially secret in its operation. The organiza- tion was founded in IQQI with the aim of repre- senting the interests of the Corps with the Ad- ministration, and of preventing or altering any situations which might appear detrimental to the spirit of the Corps. It was the organization which instituted the Honor System, and is directly re- lated to its administration and principles. Every extracurricular activity on the campus is responsible to the Skull and Swords for its actions, and, in the same light, the Skull and Swords is obligated to see that these organizations receive the full benefit of their charters. The majority of this societyis actions are carried on in secrecy, and are known only indirectly by the members of the Cadet Corps. As a result, the so- ciety is able to exercise a considerable amount of influence and power, and is able to strive for closer coordination between the administration and the student body. To become a member of the Skull and Swords is the highest honor a Norwich cadet can achieve. Its members are chosen on the basis of leadership, sound judgment, respect from within the Corps, and their loyalty to the principles upon which Norwich was founded. New members are tapped at a formal and im- pressive ceremony held during Junior Week each year. It was at the retreat parade of junior Week 1954 that the present members of the society were chosen to serve during their senior year at Nor- wich. These men were: Richard Allard, Samuel Ferguson, Herbert LaRosa, Dale Montgomery, David Mullin, Herbert Moore, and Denton Nichols.

H0 0B CUMMITTEES The Norwich University Honor System is now in its fourth year of operation. Established in I9 51 under the direction of Maj. Gen. E. N. Harmon, USA fRet.j, and Maj. Gen. C. R. Cauldwell, USMC QRet.D, the honor system was put into operation by the Skull and Swords and the newly created Corps Honor Committee. During the development of the Honor System certain changes in its structure have been neces- sary. This year the membership of the Corps Honor Committee was revised so that it now consists of nine seniors, elected by their classmates. These men are charged with the responsibility of in- doctrinating new cadets, interpreting the Honor System for the Corps, and hearing cases of viola- tion. The Corps Honor Committee may request a guilty cadet's resignation from the Corps, or cause him to face an official investigation by the Cornrnandant. The Corps Honor Committee is assisted by 18 Company Honor Representatives, elected equally from the sophomore and junior classes. The Company Representatives replace the old Class Honor Committees, and this organization Q qgfyffgfjv ... J. Hamel, Fiore, D. Nichols, H. Moore D. Allard, S. Ferguson, H. LaRosa, L. Ong affords better opportunity for group orientation and discussion within the companies. The principle upon which our Honor System is founded is that a cadet shall not lie, cheat, or steal. Embodied in these few words are all of the quali- ties of truth, honesty, and straightforward living which are essential to the officer and citizen. The success of the Honor System at Norwich depends upon the wholehearted acceptance of these principles by every man in the Corps. f109j EPSILUN TAU SIGMA C. Sinatra, Prof. Maxfield, Prof. Norman, Dr. Howard, 'Dean Baker, Prof. Emerson, Prof. Merry, N. Desch, A. Grubs, D. Montgomery, S. Ferguson, A. Barlow,j. Anderson Epsilon Tau Sigma is the academic honor society of Norwich University. It was founded to give recognition to those students of high character who have excelled in their academic work, and who thereby show promise of outstanding success in their fields of endeavor. To be eligible for membership in Epsilon Tau Sigma a student must be enrolled as either a second semester junior or a senior, and must have com- pleted at least five academic semesters at Norwich and have obtained an over-all academic average of 3.2 or better. Present student members are John Anderson, Allan Barlow, Wallace Bowley, Noel Desch, Samuel Ferguson, Adrian Crubs, John Gurun, Frank Lawson, Charles Sinatra, Dale Montgomery, and James Young. ' Present faculty members are Perley D. Baker, Dean, Walter D. Emerson, head of Mechanical Engineering Department, Harold C. Hamilton, head of Chemistry Department, Dr. Samuel F. Howard, Professor Emeritus, Harold A. Maxfield, head of Electrical Engineering Department, James Merry, acting head of Biology Department, Albert Norman, and Clarence Willey, head of Depart- ment of Psychology and Education. - The Norwich Chapter of Chi Epsilon. the Na- tional Honorary Civil Engineering Fraternity, was installed in IQ5I to recognize and extend the basic aim of the Fraternity - the development in the undergraduate civil engineer of the necessary characteristics, which include high scholarship, for the pursuit of a successful engineering career. The chapter strives toward this aim by the com- bined efforts of the students and faculty. Since the establishment of the first chapter at the University of Illinois in 1923, forty-four addi- tional chapters have been installed, and more than Io,ooo members initiated, throughout the United States. Monthly meetings are held, at which time chap- ter projects are discussed and planned. In the past year an encased map of the United States showing the chapters and their location was constructed, in addition to a raised plaque showing the emblem of Chi Epsilon. Both of these are displayed in the main corridor of the Civil Engineering Building. One meeting each year is devoted to making the freshman civil engineers familiar with the ex- tensive facilities of the Department of Civil Engineering. p CHI EPSILIIN D. Nichols, L. Wilson N. Desch, Anderson H101 l TERFR TER ITY C UNCIL Over the past years, the Interfraternity Council has functioned as the governing body of all the social fraternities, regulating their actions in ac- cordance with the rules set up by the I.F.C. in con- junction with the administration. Composed of representatives from six national fraternities, this organization is under the capable leadership of Chairman Gordon S. Duncan, Lambda Chi Alpha, Paul Winkler, Sigma Nu, Thomas Allison, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Charles Goodrich, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Along with their aim to promote and strengthen relations between the administration and the fraternities, the Interfraternity Council has several other important functions. This organization is chiefly concerned with the annual rushing pro- gram. It is their duty and responsibility to see that the rushing of freshmen is carried out in an orderly manner. When grades are received, the I.F.C. meets and compiles a list of all the eligible rushees, breaks the list down into groups, divides thc names up among the six fraternities, and allots so many rushees to each house during the first rushing period of one week. Following this 'crush weekw, bids are submitted by the rushees and selected by the house presidents. This is all done under the supervision of the Interfraternity Council. Another obligation undertaken by the I.F.C. is the maintaining of the war orphan program. Each month, every fraternity donates a set amount of money to be used for the welfare of a Korean war orphan. Also, the I. F. C. contributes assist- ance to the needy families of Northfield during Christmas and Thanksgiving. During the big social weekends, this self-support- ing organization also presents trophies to the fra- ternity with the best Ice Sculpture at Winter Carnival, the highest percentage of house partici- pation at the junior Week formal dance, and for the best Float at Junior Week.

Hayes VARSITY CLUB The varsity club of Norwich University is com- posed of all athletes who have won letters in at least one of the six major sports. It is a highly re- garded organization on the 'fHill because compe- tition on the athletic field is very keen and mem- bership is restricted. Therefore, the Varsity Club is held in high esteem by the cadets at Norwich. In the fall the Alumni Homecoming Dance, which was held October Qgrd, was a huge success both financially and socially. The club was highly praised for the fine job they did with the planning and execution of this dance. So far this year the members of the club came through with some very fine victories, including the State Basketball Championship. The rifle team won the New England Title again, and the football team saw three of its Seniors nominated to the Vermont All-State Team. April 7th is the date for the Annual Dance to be held at the University Club in Boston. It promises to be a huge success and a big time for all students and alumni who will be there. The club officers are as follows: Harry Hale, President, Wfilliam Hayes, First Vice President, John Finan, Second Vice President, Charles Mc- Laughlin, Secretary, Chester Szwejkowski, Treas- urer, Dale Montgomery, Sergeant-at-Arms. 1'Allard t Baldrachi 'Barlow 'Barrigan Begiebing Campbell Colarcurcio al' Chiesi ' Cloutier it Collins ' Cummings Dempsey Dommergue ' Durgin Dutcher Dutil tk Edel Ensor 'k Erkelens Finan Garside Ghilardi THE MEMBERS 'F Goodrich ' Gurun Gross 'Hale Harvey Hayes, J.

Through the guidance of Divisional Coun- cillor Bornemann and Deputy Councillor From- mer and the leadership of our able officers, we are proud to say that we have a fine representative cross-section of professional fraternity events that make Gamma Omicron one of the leading Chap- ters of Alpha Kappa Psi. Included in our busy schedule are such things as pledging, initiation ceremonies, banquets, professional guest speakers, professional movies, professional trips and tours, and regular business meetings. Election to Alpha Kappa Psi, oldest national professional fraternity in commerce and business, is open to qualified cadets as early as their sopho- more year. Although Alpha Kappa Psi is a profes- sional, and not strictly an honorary fraternity, membership in Gamma Ornicron is regarded as a distinct privilege and honor. It is an established policy to extend membership to men who meet our qualifications only once. J. Dempsey, Prof. Fromer, P. Fortin B. Pulsifer, T. Ruthven, R. O'C.onner The objectives of this fraternity are to further the individual welfare of its members, to foster sci- entific research in the fields of commerce, ac- counts, and finance, to educate the public to ap- preciate and demand higher ideals therein, and to promote and advance in institutions of college rank courses leading to degrees in Business Adminis- tration.

We can only hope that our liter- ary efforts will convey to you something more than a picture of the schoolis buildings or a mere list of its students' activities. The feature section of this edition is devoted to the military development of Norwich. Here we can see how the guiding princi- ples of Alden Partridge have persisted through the years. The editor is grateful to his staff, and to the business and advertising staffs for their invaluable assistance in the compilation of this book. The edi- ' MARCH IS, Iomounzj Looms Nmazrg' .. -- .

Edel Upon assuming office, co-editors Dumas and Edel wrote, 'cWe have not only tradition to live up to Cthe First Class honor rating awarded the paper by the Associated Collegiate Pressj but also a goal to strive for - that of constantly improving the Guz'a'0n.w In the achievement of this goal much credit should be given to the various section editors: Tom Donaldson, who arranged for each issue a page-one word-picture of contemporary Norwich, Cal Hosmer, who, while minimizing post-mortems, secured timely news and good pictures for every sport and extended justly deserved praise, Al Nel- son, whose Broken-Down Sport, in spite of his small Latin, less Greek, and no Freshman English training, managed to indite many epistles to Dear Gus, and jack Leonard, who presented, with good taste, the lighter side of Norwich in the famed Cannon Report. The success of the co-editors and their staff dur- ing the past year has been frequently recognized. For one instance, National Collegiate Ski Meet requested extra copies ofthe Guidon and commented upon its excellence.

From this group arose the present regimental band, whose record and past performances have been outstanding. When the Cavalry ROTC was here at Norwich, the band was mounted, and presented a glorious spectacle when on parade. The coordination of both man and horse in the execution of movements resulted in many favorable comments. Today, under the excellent directorship of Major Paul Pelton, the band has spread the fame of Norwich University to many far communities. Quite frequently, records and radio transcriptions which have been made, have been played over two of Vermont's radio stations. The band is a cadet organization composed of those for whom music is a vocation. Cadet officers are carefully selected each year to guide the or- ganization. This year the band is captained by Alfred Ward who is capably assisted by Lieu- tenants Wilbur Edel, drum major, Gordon Dun- can and James Slingo. H181 l The Glee Club Another musical organization on the Hill is the Norwich Grenadiers, whose past performances have rated them among the leading college dance bands in New England. Within this hand, there is a group of Dixieland stylists who often appear at the Saturday night fraternity parties. Featured in thisjazz combo is the high-soaring trumpet playing of Bill Potter. Wforking in conjunction with both thc Norwich band and Grenadiers is the Glee Club. Again under the capable leadership of Major Pelton, this singing group, consisting of thirty-five malc voices, makes all concert tours with the band. This year the Glee Club has made two highly suc- cessful appearances in Rutland and Barre, Vcr- mont. The Grenadiers H1191 pn: l NG NEEBING SUCIETIES A. I. E. E. W. Altman, D. Olsen P. MacDonald, G.

Cook, Hamel One of the Outing Clubis major functions is heading the operation of the Ski Meets held here at Norwich. The Club put on the Norwich Carnival meet and the New England Prep. School Champion- ship meet. Foremost of the meets sponsored by the Club was, of course, the second Annual N .C.A.A. Ski Championships held here in March. Under the very capable direction of Club Director Bob Wright, the N.C.A.A.'s were run off with remark- able precision and punctuality. Letters of high 0'l'I GCLIEI recommendation followed praises from the team coaches of several schools. With true national representation at this mcct, the name of Norwich became synonymous with the characteristics of a well-organized university and student body capable of holding a meet of such scope. The fine performance of the faculty and the student body raised the name of Norwich high in the minds of people all over the country. Through Clark Cook's diligent efforts the Club has had a highly successful season. L 12121 f, g . X gan...4,. ......-...... ... - A. C. S. D. Kudera, R. Carr D. Barry, Prof. Sheldon NEWMAN CLUB F.

I 123 MARUUN KEY The M3I'OOH Key here at Norwich is an honorary society of seyen members of the Sophomore class, five of whom are fraternity men and two non-fra- ternity men. As the Key is organized in this manner, a representative fraction of the Sophomore class can be expected. The Keymen's job is a decidedly im- portant one as they welcome all visiting athletic teams and attempt to create a friendly atmosphere for them. Their job is also not an easy one, for it calls for a great deal of planning and the sacrifice of their time in order to do the job satisfactorily. Organized in 1922 as the HSamosets , the Key was reorganized in 1930 by the Skull and Swords and given the title of Maroon Key. The Keymen serve from the opening of each Fall term until the end of the athletic season, at which time they turn over their duties to the new members. This year, ably led by Bill Riedl, the Maroon Key has done a wonderful ,job as the reception committee for Norwich and they deserve a word of thanks from the Corps for their work. 5 XY. Scott, R.

Inexperience proved disastrous for the Bobcats as Norwich cashed in on several fumbles and intercepted five passes to emerge victorious in the close contest, 18- 6. Ed Meehan led the team in scoring with two touchdowns, while Dom Passalaqua added the other score. LDINUUI ' W A j vrsam ' U ' I In the opening game of the season, the Cadets travelled to East Orange, New Jersey, where they played Upsala College in the first night game ever played by a Norwich team. After the Vikings had scored three touchdowns in the first period, the Horsemen bounded back with a touchdown in the second quarter and added two more in the final period, but it was too late, as Upsala went on to win, 41-20. The sterling play of EdQiiMeehan and Dom cjuniorw Passalaqua and thelfine perform- ances of Doug Ensor and freshman Fred Haynes were the bright spots in the loss. IMWICH f The following week, in the first home game of the season, Norwich took the field against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in the annual Little Army-Navy Came? The accurate passing of the New Londoners' quarterback put his team in front, I3-O in the first half, but a 55-yard drive by Meehan, Passalaqua, and Szwejkowski put the Horsemen back in the ball game. In the third period, a Meehan aerial travelled 25 yards to Passalaqua, who carried the ball 45 yards for his second touchdown of the afternoon. Two missed conversion attempts proved fatal as Coast Guard won the nip and tuck contest, I3-12. 11301 I 1 ' il NSW HAVEN .U noewicu ill I Cn October 9, the Norwich gridsters battled the New Haven State Teachers College of Connecticut in one of the roughest games played on Sabine Field in many years. The Horsemen suffered from a weak pass defence as the Educators completed 18 passes, scoring in every period but the last, and win- ning the game, 32-14. Norwich gained an early lead in the first quarter as Chet Szwejkowski ran I5 yards for the Maroon's first score. Early in the second period, Ed Meehan intercepted a New Haven pass and then plunged five yards for the touchdown. l fi- . ' ' G G MIDDIJKUKY HRWICII .4 I I . In the 61st meeting of the two schools, Norwich travelled to Middlebury College, where they WCFC defeated by the Panthers for the first time in four years, 39-26. A cold and steady drizzle through the game restricted both teams' offensive tO thffgfound and few passes were attempted. Moving with ease throughout the game, the Cadets managed to P1Ck up twenty-two first downs but were unable to halt the speedy and elusive backs. The Horsemens captain, Dom Passalaqua, tallied twice, Whlle John Begiebing and Ed Meehan picked up one each. l 13 I 1 I E I fllil 1231 BROOKLYN IRWIN x The Norwich gridsters scored their second vic- tory of the season by handing hapless Brooklyn College its twenty-third consecutive defeat, 35-13. The Brooklynites jumped off to a quick 7-o lead in the first quarter and managed to hold a 7-7 tie at half time after John Begiebing had scored on a Meehan aerial. However, the Horsemen broke the game wide open in the second half by scoring 28 points. Begiebing played a tremendous game in the backfield as he added two more touchdowns to his previous score - one of them on a 65-yard run. Dom Passalaqua scored a fourth-period touch- down for the Horsemenis other score. 1 1 ' X wri lil WRWICII g Il- In the last game of the season, the Horsemen took on undefeated Worcester Tech at Alumnl Field in Worcester. Looking for their third Victory of the season, the Maroon and Gold were held to a mere four first downs as they were shut out for the second time in the season, 33-o. Playing their last game for Norwich were seniors Dom Passalac- qua, Ed Meehan, John Barrigan, Chet Szwejk- owski, jim Young, Bill Rock, Bill Hayes, Harry Hale, and Bob Hoagland. i vwwrllll ' E ,J L UWM!! Homecoming found the Horsemen matched against its arch rival, Vermont, before a crowd of 5ooo. Unfortunately, the visiting alumni saw the Cadets completely outclassed by the swift passing and sharp running of the Catamounts. When the game ended, Vermont had registered its second highest score in the sixty-year-old state series, 41-O.

Athleti Adelphi NVon 18 Lost 6 ime C Club When Coach Joe Mullaney, former Holy Cross star, took over the reins of the basketball team a few days before the start of the season, very few persons thought the Cadets would enjoy such a successful season as the final result showed. Not only had the team lost its coach, Duke Benz, but also two of last year's starting players. However, when the season ended, the team had a record of eighteen wins in twenty-four starts, the longest hoop schedule in Maroon history. But of more importance was the fact that the Cadets captured their first outright Vermont Collegiate Basketball Championship in twenty-four years. After swamping Paul Smith in the season's opener, the Cadets traveled south, where they were beaten by Massachusetts but managed to defeat Springfield the following night. The Maroon then squeezed out a one-point victory over Clarkson on a set shot during the last few minutes of play. Dartmouth, one of the best collegiate teams in New England, handed Norwich its worst thrashing of the season in a lopsided game. Regaining their winning ways, the Maroon quintet won three games in four days, defeating Tufts at home and then traveling to Maine, where they posted vic- tories over Gorham Teachers and Maine Mari- time. After the usual Christmas layoff, the Horsemen warmed up for their Hrst state game by defeating Paul Smith for the second time. In a nip-and-tuck contest with Vermont, Norwich pulled away in the last period to edge the Catamounts before a ca- pacity crowd at the Armory. H341 The Cadets had little trouble in downing Ham- ilton and Plattsburg, but found the opposition tough as they were overtaken by Middlebury in an away game. With the end of exams, the Cadets had little trouble in walloping McGill of Montreal. How- ever, later in the week, the Maroon quintet had to go into overtime to gain an important win over the Vermont Catamounts. On a trip to Connecticut, the Horsemen de- feated its two opponents, VVesleyan and Coast Guard. Returning to home, the Maroon won its fourth state game by posting five-point victory over St. Michaelis. During the following week, Merri- mack provided little competition for the Cadets. Seeking revenge for its previous defeat at the hands of Middlebury, the Cadets piled up a fifteen- point lead at half time against the Panthers, but had to come from behind in the closing minutes to eke out a 53-50 victory. This win assured the Cadets of at least a tie for the State crown. Two days later the Maroon and Gold won the title out- right by barely edging St. Michael's 70-67 at Bur- lington. In its last home game of the season, Norwich was rudely upset by St. Lawrence, the Cadets, first defeat on their home court in two years. Traveling to New York City for the final contests of the season, the Horsemen were defeated by the New York Athletic Club and Adelphi College. V, Yeadon, Meehan, Davis i Montgomery, Szwejkowski 3 l 5135 The season's end found the Cadets with one of the best records among small colleges in New Eng- land, despite the fact that the team lost its last three games. The success of the team can be attributed to the scoring of Dale Montgomery, Captain Ed Meehan, and Chet Szwejkowski, one of the best threesomes in the history of Norwich basketball. Montgomery and Meehan became the first Cadets ever to score more than iooo points. Close behind the three seniors were Howie Davis, Bob Yeadon, Craig Rosenbower, and Cliffjohnson. The starters l ff were ably assisted by Bob Waugh, Paul Mahoney, Crosby Peck, and Bill Tucker. Much credit is due to Coach Joe Mullaney for the praiseworthy manner in which he handled the team. With graduation taking his high scoring threesome, Coach Mullaney will have no easy job rebuilding his team next year. However, with the nucleus of next seasonls team built around Davis, Yeadon, Johnson, Rosenbower, and the other members of this yearls varsity, the Cadets may surprise everyone next basketball season.

Apparently the extended pre-season practice paid off, for the team finished the season with a record of ten wins in fifteen games, thus bettering their record of the previous season. Norwich opened its sixteen-game schedule by downing Dartmouth, 8-3, at Hanover. After being held to a single goal in the first period, the Cadets caught fire in the next two periods, netting seven goals. The Cadets then traveled to Middlebury, F. Cloutier, Coach Priestley where the strong Panther skaters defeated the Maroon and Gold, 8-5. Two days later williams was handed a 6-3 loss by the Horsemen. After a layoff for exams, the Priestley men won three games in four days. Colby and Amherst were rudely jolted by the lopsided scores of 14-3 and 13-4, while New Hampshire was able to net only three goals against nine for the Cadets. Norwich traveled South to play Providence and American International College but just couldn't click and therefore dropped both contests. Returning home, the Cadets played host to Bishops College of Canada, defeating the Canadi- ans in a rough game by a 6-3 score. Invading Massachusetts for the second time, the puckmen were barely nosed out by Northeastern, 4-3, in a game played at the Boston Arena. Determined to salvage one of the games, the Horsemen put on the pressure and slaughtered Tufts, II-5. After out- scoring UNH for the second time, the Norwich skaters avenged a previous loss to Middlebury by posting a 3-2 victory in the best game of the season. The contest, which was tied up throughout most of the first two periods, was decided by a Norwich goal when less than three minutes remained to be played. The last two games of the season found the Cadets on the road, defeating Hamilton, 7-3, but dropping a 7-4 decision to Wlilliams. 51381 The leading scorers for the team were Captain Fern Cloutier, Roger Paquette, and Charles Mc- Laughlin, Norwich's capable forward line. Cloutier was high man with sixty-four points, while Paquette wound up the season with forty-seven points. Cut- standing on defense were veterans John Gurun, Roland Dutil, and freshman Jack Ferns. Bruce Gillies, first-string goalie, was spelled by Harvey Collins and Bob McLeod. Ending their hockey careers at Norwich were seven seniors: Dave Mullen, Harvey Collins, Fern Cloutier, Eric Mortenson, John Gurun, Steve Kiley and Dick Durgins. Fern Cloutier proved himself to be the most valuable hockey player Norwich has ever had by scoring one hundred and four goals in four years. Freshmen players who will un- doubtedly see much service next year are Dick Mullen, Bob McLaughlin, Al Fournier, Bob Blandy, Jack Ferns, Fred Haynes and Bob Mc- Leod. Bob Priestleyis puckmen, who have won forty-five games in the last four seasons, will be looking forward to another good year in 195 5. 1954-55 HOCKEY RECORD Won IO - Lost 5 Norwich 8 Dartmouth Norwich 3 Middlebury Norwich 5 Williams Norwich 1 4 Colby Norwich 1 3 Amherst Norwich 9 New Hampshire Norwich 3 Providence Norwich 3 A.I.C.

The Cadets are the champions of the New Eng- land College Rifle League. The following is an excerpt from a letter of commendation received by the team from General Harmon: 'cMy congratula- tions to the Rifle Team. This is a very high honor for Norwich University in the field of rifle marks- manship. So many people fail to appreciate the long tedious hours of practice shooting required to excel in this sportf' In the race for the Army RCTC Championship, the Cadets surpassed their title-winning record of last season by fifty points. Although the final re- sults have not been tabulated, it looks as though Norwich is headed for another national champion- ship. Results indicate that Norwich placed second in the First Army Area in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy match for 1955.

This, of course, is due to the fact that all the men have a common interest, that of music. Here at Norwich as at any military installation the Band plays a very important part in the life of the Corps. Any formation is not complete without the Band. This Fall 18 green Rooks came up the steps to Jackman Hall to begin their life at Norwich, and before that first day was ended they had begun their f'Rook training. 1fSgt. f'Shorty Nock had quite a job on his hands training the CCRooks,', but with the help of SFC Franz Colon, Bob Carr, f and especially Cpls. Ring, Coulson, and Atkins, the Company soon had been whipped into shape. Cf course, we canit go on without giving much credit to our Company Commander Al Ward, whose over-all supervision and suggestive criticism was of the utmost help. The Band is active also in inter-company sports, although not always on top, they take their share of the games. During the course of the year the Band also plays concerts in Rutland, Barre, Mont- pelier, and then of course there is always the big Lexington Day Parade. Each man in Head- quarters takes pride in himself, and thus makes this company the sharpest one on the Hill. 51771 FIB T B TT LIO 1 I I NON-COMS CADET IST SGT. GENE E. PROUTY CADET SGT CADET SGT.

The green Rooks were soon told by Company Commander: c'You are a part of the best company on the Hill and must do all you can to keep that wayf' After fun-packed Rook indoctrination, which was highlighted by such capers as gay cong sessions with the Cadre, a mock inspection on Sergeant Hap Ives by Rooks Blandy and Akam, and riotous shaving-cream fights, the Rooks were soon introduced to the ways of life at Norwich. Able Company boasts all of the class presidents as members, with Dick Allard, Gene Prouty, Bill Reidl, and Bob Blandy as heads of their classes. Thanks to such Barkers as Killer Burk and Bob Alexander, probably the most well k own cadet in the Fall formations was Ricky Russo. In the athletic department, A Company has some outstanding ballplayers in the halls of Hawkins. Harry Hale and Ed Calacurcio shared honors on the football team. Lefty Johnson and Howie Davis played outstanding ball for coach joe Mullaney on the basketball court, and Frank Allen was a great help to the ski team. 51791 FIR 'l' BATT LIO .I A-ram... ,... uM,,,: , CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET NON-COMS IST SGT.

Belief in the leadership and guidance offered by their oflicers and noncoms, the Rooks performed very ably during the year, often outshining the upperclassmen, especially in drill. They were also the first Rooks to obtain a company Christmas tree. Athletes were among the best that came from Baker Company. Ed Meehan, a platoon leader, contributed greatly by performing in three sports. Representing us and Norwich in hockey was Fern Cloutier, one of the best stickers in the East. Along t with Fern was Charlie McLaughlin, Captain Gurun, and Dick Durgin. In the diamond dust, one could spot Bob Yeadon, Bob Dommergue, Jim Pelkey and Donald Douglass. IfSgt. Bill Altman was keen that things be done right. Not only a leader in his company but in activities around the Hill, Bill had a very efficient, hard working group of noncoms. Earnest to do his best was Colonel Ferguson, who lived in the company with us, and kept us on our toes at all times. This did much to quiet the noise but not the spirit which the company had. Recognition must be given to Baker Company, for although the smallest company on the Hill, it was one of the best in the regiment. 5 2 1811 FIRST B TT LIO fs . Hi NON-COMS CADET IST SGT. JOHN L.

On September 13, 1954 this spirit was strength- ened by the arrival of twenty Rooks. Under the able leadership of Captain Erkelens and his fellow officers, the Rooks received their preliminary training. Without this training they could not have hoped to become the well organized unit of men they are today. The men of D Company have brought a num- ber of honors to Cabot Hall. The first of these hon- ors was won on Freshman Sunday, when D Com- pany won the relay race and log-chopping contest. During the football season, the Dog Company boys showed their skill in handling the pigskin. At the end of the season, the records showed us to be in fourth place. As for extracurricular activities, we are proud to say that we have men in every activity on the Hill. D Company's crack shots on the rilie team are Ed Lane, Freedman, and Priestly. D Company also boasts of having members in Mountain Winter Warfare, the Outing Club, the Newman Club, and all of the academic clubs. We are proud to belong to such a high-spirited group 3 and we all have only one thing in mind: to uphold the Norwich motto, UI Will Try. 51851 , r,:.,-5' '-19,,,.,.a,1,,f-r7.4 E SECO In B TTALIO ' CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET OFFICERS CAPT.

STEARNS H1861 EASY CIIMPANY l This year E Company has been blessed with the largest number of freshmen, otherwise known as uRooks , totaling 36 in all. Rook indoctrination period is rather strenuous, but the E Company Rooks came through the season well instructed and in the highest spirit. Speaking of spirit, the Rooks of E Company are well known for their company spirit as is shown in their participation in company football and basketball. At present our basketball team has done exceedingly well. High scorer is Ronnie Weiderman, who is assisted by Jacobs, Stanard, and Ribley, all of whom deserve much credit. Also, E Companyls football team was well represented by members of the freshman class. Even though they did not come out so well in the standings, they had the will to win. The Norwich Varsity football team was also sprinkled with E Company freshmen. Dick Mullen, Ron Howard, Don Westcott, and Fred Haines saw much action on the Norwich gridiron. Bruce Rib- ley, who did so well on the Jayvee squad that he ended the season with the varsity, is another E Company boy. In fact, E Company Rooks have shown up well in all of the college activities and is the only com- pany that has two freshman class officers. They are Fred Haynes, vice president, and Stanley Chin- Ying, treasurer. 1:1811 T SECUND BATTALIO Y NON-COMS CADET IST SGT. DONALD L. MACDON.ALD CADET SGT. IST CLASS GENE C. HAYWOOD CADET SGT.

ROGLER f188J FOX CIIMPANY X -imma The first company to hit Numeral Hill and the first to paint permanent letters on that sacred bit of property was HF7' company. Sandy MacDonald and his very efficient non-coms molded the Hraunchiestn group of Rooks into one of the finest platoons of men that ever paraded on the Norwich campus. Even though they spent most of their Friday afternoons polishing fire extinguishers, they still managed to end up in the first division in the intra- mural football league. F Company was well repre- sented on the varsity football team, and great H189 things are expected of Dickie Dier, Bob Wayne and Rad Mitchell in the next three years. One of F Company's prize possessions is Jack Barnick, the corporal with the water-iight complex. By unanimous vote, Bruce Gillies was elected the best Nheadi' man on the Hill. The second floor hockey games played with brooms will long remain in the minds of anyone lucky enough to remember them. There is little doubt that the company with the jingle cadence will go down the annals of Norwich as one of the best. l l 1 SECOND BATTALIO ' CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET CADET NGN-COMS OFFICERS CADET CAPT.

We all feel that our combination of the best ingredients and great spirit make us the best company on the Hill. We Rooks did not always feel that way, and had completely different ideas during Indoctrination Period. 1fSgt. Theroux, we thought, was not a human but a military machine. We also thought that the officers were nothing but playboys and that the corporals just wanted to give orders to hear them- selves talk. These opinions changed rapidly. IfSgt. Theroux changed us from gay civilians to well dis- ciplined cadets. Had it not been for his strictness and his outstanding example of military bearing and precision, we would have never attained our present proficiency. The officers showed a constant interest in us and helped us whenever possible. The corporals also proved themselves to be human, as they not only worked with us in the military, but also in athletics. Under Corporal Wilderis guidance, we had the championship team in both football and basket- ball. Captain Coodrich was a very important member of the ski team, and Lieutenant Mont- gomery was a star of the basketball squad. Lieu- tenants Hayes and Hoagland were first string players on the football team, and First Sergeant Theroux was drill sergeant ofthe Regimental Drill Team. 45 ' Q f19ll W lf' I SECO D BATT LIO I NON-COMS CADET CADET CADET CADET OFFICERS CAPT.

Football, basketball, baseball, hockey, whatever it may be, varsity or intramural, the men are right there ready to try. Wfe may not be the biggest of the companies, but who likes monsters?
