Few of us will ever approach the strategic and tactical perfection of Napoleon or the other Great Captains. But by studying their campaigns we saw how military success depends upon the correct application of those principles of war which they evolved and which, virtually unchanged, are still in use today. In Engineering we dealt primarily with the structure of bridges. Together the two form one of the most interesting, valuable and practical courses given at the Military Academy.

Few qualities are more essential to an Army officer than the ability to speak and write clearly and concisely. As Plebes, we learned the rules of punctuation and grammar and then displayed our proficiency in written composition and public speaking. Few of us will ever forget the clacking of typewriters resounding through the Areas on the night before our research papers were due. As Yearlings we studied the great works of English Literature. Finally, employing all we had previously learned, we completed our work with a course in Military Instructor Training which, to many, will always remain a highlight in our Cadet careers.

C iect PlCl It Colonel Gre r ND UOLONEL DARTLETT To hive and goat alike, Electricity presented many problems. At the boards we juggled imaginary numbers and puzzled over wiring diagrams. But it was in the labs that we really excelled. Whether wiring a compound generator or constructing a super- heterodyne receiver, we worked under the ever-present threat of blinding shorts and popping circuit breakers. Many was the goat who invariably wore his overshoes to lab. Sessions in the lecture room were devoted to the mysteries of radar, television and other electronic devices. Few of us ever became experts, but most of us did acquire a basic understanding of electricity and electronics. 1st Row: Lt. Col. Hiester (Assistant Professor), Lt. Col.
