A COMPANY -A' -A' -A' For years there has been rivalry between A and B Companies, with B Company always winning out by a bit in the fourth quarter. This year, however, the jinx appears to have been broken as A Company stands a good chance for Honor Company. I At the start of the year the Company was commanded by Cadet Lieutenant Brand L. After his call came for the army he was succeeded by Cadet Lieutenant Pear- son who carried on in Louie's footsteps. We are proud of our activities in sports, placing men in key positions on the rifle team, crack squad and track, football and basketball teams. We seem always to lose barracks inspection but make up for it in academics. One of our older members took Old Cadet Academics again this year, making two years straight that we have won this honor. In drill our company holds its own though not up to usual standards. A, Company is led by First Lieutenant Pearson. Our non-coms include Cadet Master Sergeant Turner, Cadet First Sergeant McMillen, Cadet Staff Sergeant Trow- bridge, Cadet Sergeants Koppel, Hulslander and Sonneveld, Cadet Corporals Nusholtz and Ravenhill, and Cadet Privates First Class Mclnerney, Staren, Disch, Lefkowitz, Kleopfel, Green, Rosenberg, Leader, Schmidt and Jackson. To next year's A Company, heartiest hopes for a successful year and good luck to you always. Thirty-seven

B Company, under the capable leadership of our Commandant, Capt. Pem- brook, and our company commander, Cadet Major Nelson J., fought hard to maintain and further the tradition and achievements which the previous cadets of this company have passed on to us. Nelson J. was supported by Cadet Second Lt. Jerome, Cadet Master Sgt. Martiny and Cadet First Sgt. Rosenbaum R., all of whom aided him through the difficulties which a company commander is sure to encounter. This year, as in previous years, found B Company trailing A Company, as the beginning of the third quarter approachedg but keeping up her glorious traditions we B Company men blazed a trail of glory through the third and fourth quarters. The cadets of B Company found pleasure in working for and under its com- pany commander, Nelson J., Who proved himself a capable leader beyond any doubt by assuming responsibilities which no previous company commander was ever called upon to assume. The calibre of our Saturday morning inspections increased in ratio with its number. We proved ourselves the best drilled company on the parade grounds as our records will easily show. Our academic standing was not quite up to par though we had many men consistently making honor grades. The B Company of this year Wish the cadets of next year's B Company and all who follow in their footsteps all the success and enjoyment that We enjoyed this year. Thirty-nine
