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.

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.

Colonel Barrett I iHodepn rJLc anauaaes auctUi The happy babble of Plebe and Yearling voices can often be heard emanating from the Modern Language section rooms, for, in recent years, the trend in teaching has been away from the written language toward the more practical spoken words. French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian; that first day many of us couldn ' t even read the titles of the books we took to class. However, we found our instructors well qualified (many having been trained in the country whose language they were to teach) and eager to help us learn, and at the end of two years we had acquired a sound foundation in a modern language upon which to base further study.
