Below is the entry for Townsend A. "Van" Van Fleet from the 1958 HOWITZER: ********************************************************** "Van" M-2 Kentfield, California Congressional "Tiger," pound for pound, the meanest man on the fields of friendly strife, made intra-murals take notice of desire exemplified. As California's greatest exaggerator, he well absorbed the monotony of four years by dragging, debating, conducting jam sessions and burning the mid-nite oil to the wee small hours. In spite of frustrations and tribulations, Van's fire and straight-forwardness will bring him through any situation.
