Cadets have the opportunity to select one of the following languages: French, Ger- man, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. It was sur- prising how much could be accomplished with only a little hard work and practice. Many of us could not even read the titles to our texts on our first attendance, but now we are all well-qualified in the language of our choice. After learning and practic- ing the fundamentals of the language in the class rooms, many cadets spent their summer leaves in Europe and put the many hours of practice to the practical test. ■ last two ye loiiesnhv tubes i itatWek me as a I Phis win ttwing DiPA PHYS 24

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH It fell to the English Department to instruct us in the proper methods of expressing ourselves in both the written word and the spoken word. We also learned much about the classics as written by Shakespeare, Keats, Byron, and many others. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the round-table type discussions that we had during our First Class Year. It was a new experience for some of us to be able to sit down and express our views on some of the vital problems that are confronting the world today and that will become the problems of the next several years. We became aware of the fact that most of these questions will be answered by our generation. Front Row: Major JB Roberts Jr. Major WC Burton, Major CC Ulsaker.

During Yearling year we were introduced to more of the fundamentals that we would need during our last two years as cadets. We learned the various laws of physics and had a chance to develop some of these laws starting with the same basic tools that the original discoverers used. In chemistry labora- tories we had a chance to play with the various test tubes and Bunsen burners that we had been reading about. We learned the basic concepts which would serve as a foundation for our course in Nuclear Physics which was to come during Cow year. Every- one will remember the many lectures with all of the many colored demonstrations.
