Guymolz A cheerful disposition and an overpowering de- sire to do the right thing have characterized Spike'l since he first set foot on the Hill. He has really fought his way into the hearts of the Corps. His abilities in the ring are proof enough of his athletic accomplishments. Champ of the Northeastern Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament in 1940, and in the finals in 19-ll, he is one of the state's out- standing boxers. ln addition he is a letterman on Coach Clinels football team. You find him a fre- quent visitor at the airport, for he holds a license as a private pilot and handles the Ryan S-T as he would an old war-horse. Page 27 BOVVMAN, BEVERLY G. .... Claremore B-B is a home town boy. One of the last of the Day Dogsn, his success cannot be attributed to one single thing. His general outlook and de- sire to get to the bottom of things causes him to be a man of natural practical ability. All these char- acteristics and aptitudes, together with an absolute dependability, make him outstanding among his classmates. VVe are looking forward to seeing B-B a success, whether it is along military or any other lines.

His quiet unselfishness in all things, his slowness to anger or even argue, his frank and open manner, and above all his deep and unfailing good humor and his winning smile-these and and many other likeable qualities have earned him a host of friends. Pleasant, able, manly, he is at once liked and re- spected by all who come into contact with him. VVe wish him the best of luck and know that his determination will carry him to the top. During a windless day, if we ii ere to make a trip to the airport, we would probably find DownWindl' in the seat of one of the school's Cubs. A graduate of this yearls first semester CPT program, he holds a license as a private pilot, if you donlt believe this, ask him. He is a good pilot, and his knowledge of aviation is astoundingg but in spite of all priming and drilling by his instructor, the fact is evident that at one time or another he did make a down wind landing. In addition to his aviation activi- ties, he has found time to be Coach Clinels assistant in every line of sports. lt would be unusual to visit the gym without seeing him on the job. Page 26
