DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES During our studies of History and Geography we learned to appreciate the forces that act on man in the various forms of his environment. In the course of Government we learned how our Government operates and also how our form of government com- pares with those of the larger countries of Europe. During our studies of Economics and International Relations we learned how a country can prevent an inflation or depression and how our country formu- lates trade and foreign policy. AH of these things go together to make each of us ready to offer solu- tions to the problems that are confronting our gen- eration.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICITY Another of the many courses of appHed engineer- ing fundamentals was the course in Electricity. We learned to tell the difference between a motor and a generator. Then we had an opportunity to find out how a radio works. Surprising enough it takes a lot more than just the simple turning of a knob. We spent many long hours in the laboratory trying to keep from causing shorts and burning out ammeters and wattmeters. We finished the course with more Nuclear Physics. We found out how the various atomic reactors work and how feasible they would be for doing various kinds of work.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW Although we are by no means lawyers, we each have been exposed to the various types of Law. The reason that Law is included in our course of study is so that we will be prepared to serve on court- martials and wiU be able to perform other duties of a legal or quasi-legal nature. We also learned many of the rights and privileges to which we are entitled under the Constitution. Front Row: Capt RC Erickson, Lt Col J Baker, Col CW West, Col WC Plott, Capt WM Nichols. Back Row: Capt DS O ' Neil, Capt EL Flaherty Jr. Capt WR Nelson, Capt PM Norris, Capt JT Jones, Capt JE Flick. During First Class year we cease to learn any more fundamentals of engineering. Now we had the opportunity to apply everything that we had learned in the preceding three years. This application came in the form of term problems. We designed our own trucks and cannons, most of which probably would not work if they were constructed to meet our de- signs. We kept abreast of the many new develop- ments in the field of weapons and learned to appre- ciate the steps in their design.
