JOHN LEE NOVOTNY D-2 Novo Westerville, Ohio D-2's Sammy Snead glided in from Dear Westerville High School with a bag of Woods in one hand and a bag of irons in the other.

JOSEPH DALE NUNNELEE, II B-2 Joe San Antonio, Texas Words are inadequate to describe certain individuals. Honorable, dedicated, loyal, faithful, self-assured, and sensible only begin to reveal the truth about this pensive yet light-hearted Texan. A man's fortune is measured by his friendsg Joe is fantastically wealthy. We who have known Joe shall not forget him as he ascends the ladder of success, two steps at a time.

NEIL K. NYDEGGER I-2 Neil West Point will never be the same again without Neil to Wake us from our afternoon naps with his chiming of the chapel bells. A good word and a smile for everybody made him popular throughout the corps. Neil stood at the top of the class in everything and perhaps the only reason that he didn't wear stars was that he was always taking time out from his own studies to help a less gifted classmate.
