He was the major spark for D-2's intramural power. Capping the intramural cross country record, he went on to lead D-2 to the Banker's Trophy during his third class year. He is a confirmed bachelor for weeks at a time. Pax is a fighter all the way and never gives up. Sergeant 1, Basketball 4, Spanish Club 3, Howitzer 4, 3. THOMAS DAWSON PEARSON, JR. C-1 Albie Fort Sill, Oklahoma Thomas Dawson Pearson Jr. is known to his classmates as Albie, an epithet they appropriately borrowed from the spirited baseball player of the old Washington Senators. He will be remembered by all for his ability to do a job quickly and efficiently, and for his dry English sense of humor which has caused many smiles. His fine professional attitude will carry him far in his future Army career.

PEDERSON F-2 Czar Duluth, Minnesota Like the dinner gong of a North Woods lumber camp, the name Czar will always ring a friendly note with us. And if you can't 1'ind him in the rack high upon his rockbound alcove rail, he might well be ringing, as one of the Chapel Chimers. The name Czar stems from his ability with the Russian language, and added to his other capabilities, you find a mighty worthy member of 62. ' Sergeant 1,' Chapel Chimers 4, 3, 2, Mathematics Forum 2, Radio Club 4, 3, French Club 4, 3, 2, Pistol Club 4, Ski Club 4, 3, 2. RUDOLF E. PENCZER F-2 Rudy Fairfield, Connecticut Fairfield will be mighty proud of Rudy's achievement while at the Academy. He is known as the science whiz of his class. For four years, he has been the leader in this field. In his pastime, the penz can be seen on the courts, battling out his matches of tennis and squash. In the future, Rudy will probably be responsible for the first Moon rocket.

JOE EDWARD PENDERGRAFT H-1 HUM Joe Joplin, Missouri High spirited enthusiasm and a perpetually jovial manner have distin- guished Joe among his comrades in gray. His ability, fine sense of humor and regard for details are sure to make him successful in any endeavor.

RAYMOND ALDEN PENDLETON E-2 Ray New Orleans, Louisiana Known by his drags for keeping the South well represented at West Point, especially during football season, Ray's fraternization with the Northern lot has also been a subject of enviable comment. Although never finding that happy medium in academics while soaring up and down The Tubes from advanced at last sections, this Pistoleer is well liked for his steadfast and sincere personality.
