C COMPANY ak ak ir In its second year C Company has shown on many occasions, its spirit and drive, which is growing to be a tradition. Many handicaps have stood in C Company's way, the biggest-the change over of Company commanders when Cadet First Lieut. Krohn was called to duty by Uncle Sam. He was replaced by a valuable leader, Cadet Captain Thomas, who has done a fine job. C Company is proud of its active part in varsity athletics. It placed three men on the first team in football, three men on the first ten in basketball, three eagle- eyes on the rifle team, and four of the seven lettermen in track, were products of C Company. Three members of the Crack Squad are in this company also. Having some tough luck by losing barracks inspection by a couple of reports many times this year, C Company made up for that by overwhelming its two rivals in Academics for the second quarter. We made twice as many points as the other two companies made all together-a true representative of hard-driving C Company. C Company is led by Cadet Captain Thomas-our company commander. A graduate from a position of first sergeant in C Company to Battalion Adjutant is Cadet Second Lt. Phelps. Non-coms in the company are: Cadet First Sergeant Martin, Cadet Staff Sergeant King, Cadet Sergeant McKee, Cadet Privates First Class Nelson L., Jagiella F., Taylor, Clausen, Kelly T., Lowry, Balzer F., Howell and Nicholson. To the C Company of next year, the graduating seniors leave their best wishes for a great company and hope that they will carry on the fight and drive that can have only one ending-success.

COMPANY -A' -ki -k This year G Company has made remarkable progress, in all the things into Which they have ventured. During the school year they have worked harder, bringing higher averages and more responsibilities. When football season came around, G Company entered into it. As a result, they divided themselves into two groups and had a game, in front of the cadet corps. During the basketball season the gym gave G Company a safe and happy playground, where all the boys spent many happy hours. Finally when spring came, and the track season was opened, the boys used the athletic field often, as Well as the baseball diamond. Under the supervision of Captain O'Neal, the G Company cadets have earned merits and passes. And the three ranking cadets are: First Lt. lVlcAboy, Second Lt. Hoffman E., and First Sgt. Balzer R., have helped considerably in making G Com- pany outstanding in Drill and Inspection . Forty-tivo
