DEDICATION LT. COL. JAMES C. SMEE— A true southern gentle- man — was a great asset to the University of Nevada during his five years as member and later head of the Department of Military Science and Tactics. The colonel was graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1938 and entered the service the same year. He gained both combat and administrative experience during World War II before coming to the University of Nevada in August of 1946 as assistant P. M. S. T. Colonel Smee took over as head of the department in August of 1949, replacing Colonel Gilbert Parker, who became acting president of the university . . . One of the colonel ' s most noticeable characteristics was his interest in student activities. This year he was elected to Coffin and Keys, the men ' s highest honorary, as an honorary faculty member. He also acted as the faculty representative for the A. S. U. N. Finance Control Com- mittee and the A. S. U. N. Publications Board . . . The University will lose a wonderful faculty member at the close of this spring semester, but the school ' s loss will be the Army ' s gain. Speaking for the student body, I would like to wish him the best of luck in his new military adventure.

FOREWORD Each year the book is supposed to have a foreword; that is, two pages which tell you to go on and read the rest of the annual. Well, the foreword does the same thing this year. We have pictures of friends, games, events, and dances like every year; so we suggest that you read what took us a year to produce and edit. May you enjoy every inch of picture in it.
