ERNST VOLGENAU Clarence, New York The switch from the rigors of farm life to the strain of Academy life pro\ed no great problem for Ernie. A determined, conscientious, hard worker in everything he undertook, Ernie's studies were no obstacle in his road to success at Yoosnay, and he was equally adept in sports. Ernie's afternoons were spent in athletics varying from wrestling in the fall and winter to throwing the javelin for the track team in the spring. In the social department Ernies luck was nothing less than sensational. Ernie's indomitable spirit, keen sense of duty and responsibility, and determined will to win will surely make him a respected and successful officer.
