From the opening battle cry of Take boards to the final Section dismissed, we relentlessly pursued and eventually mastered the intricacies of algebra, solid and analytical geometry, trigonometry and calculus. Here also for the first time many of us met that demon, the slide rule. This basic knowledge of Mathematics acquired during our first two years was to stand us in good stead later on in such other subjects as Physics, Chem- istry, Electricity, Mechanics, Engineering and Ordnance. 24 Col Bessell, Col.

cienceS Second Class year ushered in Geography, History and Government. First Class year the tempo was increased as we delved into the mysteries of Insurance, Finance, Economics and International Relations — the books growing heavier with each suc- ceeding course. From Yuan Shih-kai to the balancing of a Lieutenant ' s budget we slowly battled our way. But in the end the countless maps, charts and graphs all blended together and we emerged with a sound basic knowledge of the Social Sciences. 1st Row: Maj. Barber, Lt. Col.
