Warren Thomas, our company commander. Academics in UC Company was of a very high standard. Although only one cadet had a yearly average of 5.00, the majority of the company's averages were excep- tionally high. C Company's participation in sports was over average. They finished second in Intramural Basketball, with their only loss coming in the final game of competition. Four the seniors in HC Company have won Varsity letters in football. All of the seniors have participated in some competitive sport. Cadet Sgt. First Class Bernard Ackerman was elected captain of the track team, and Cadet Sgt. Wally Miller was elected co-captain of the football team. Of the many cadets in the com- pany, 13 participated in football, ll in basketball, and 14 in track. May sports be as popular next year in HC Company as they were this year. Cadet Ackerman was senior class president and was the platoon sergeant. Cadet Sgt. First Class John Sural was first sergeant. HC Company's social activities included a number of parties. Floor shows were given and refreshments were always on hand. May these parties continue to exist in CU Company. The spirit of C Company was excellent. Many times there would be a small let down in academics, but they would rally to a second or first rating at their next try. Congratulations to a fine group of cadets. May the future CH Com- panies be as successful as the one of 1950. FORTY Miss Bonnie Vipond Sponsor 2nd LIEUTENANT

While we may not have been outstanding in any one field, we have made a good showing in all fields. Our company commander was Cadet Captain Dan Stilling and our first sergeant was George Engel. Mrs. Dan Stilling II Sponsor lst LIEUTENANT Thomas Staggs held the post of platoon sergeant, while Dick Bale was our platoon guide. Our three squad leaders were Bob Douglas, Walter Mc- Kenna, and George Nicholson. When the year started we had ten old cadets returning and twelve new cadets. Now we have a full complement of twenty-five cadets, having added three more new cadets as the year progressed. In the military department, B Company has taken many com- petitive platoon and squad drills. Also many cadets from our company have received high honors in military tests, the most consistent of these cadets being Cadet Stempien. In the field of athletics, we placed many men. In football we had four major letter winners, Stilling, Engel, Bale, and Nicholson. Stokes and Staggs show good prospects for next year. In basketball, not many participated, but those that did, did a fine job. Dick Bale was a major letter winner and also team captain. Stokes made the traveling squad and is shaping up fine for next year. ln track, quite a few boys hit the cinder paths for the Scarlet and Gray. Stokes, Evonek, Kidwell, Nicholson, Jacobs, Brandt, and Staggs were all seen in action. Engel and Stilling often served as track meet officials. Honor Company competition has been close all year and as the annual goes to press, HBH Company is only 13 points ahead for the year. We wish to say good luck to four graduating seniors: Dan Stilling, Dick Bale, George Engel, and Sandy Brandt. See you next Homecoming, fellas. And to the rest of the company we would like to say thanks for a swell job. Without cadets like Guest, Porter, Smalley, Viner, Scalzitti, and Tchokreft, the company wouldn't have been the same.
