A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2 Basketball 3 Norman, known as Chicken , has followed the General Course throughout his four years. An ardent conversationalist, he has re- vealed his gaity through his spontaneous outburst of merriment. He was an active member of the basketball team in his Junior year and followed Intramurals closely. The Air Corps is his main ob- jective after high school, but we are doubtful after hearing him talk about a chicken farm. Perhaps the aeronautical training and ex- perience will enable him to Hhop in his plane from one chicken- farm to the next. May yours be a long and happy flight.
