Bruce Lester Helmich

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

From the "Howitzer" -- 1969

BRUCE LESTER HELMICH, Kansas City, Missouri, B-2

On 1 July 1965 a man entered these forbidding gray walls determined not to bow under the regimentation or lose his identity in a mass of gray bodies. After a running battle with Russian and the T.D., Bruce has emerged victorious. From Kansas City he brought a sense of humor and a way with the ladies he has kept and expanded. With his spirit, resolve, and ability as a leader undaunted, his future is a cloudless sky.

C.S. Cross Country 4, 2, 1; C.S. Indoor and Outdoor Track 4, 3, 2, 1; Russian Club 4, 3, 2, 1. Field Artillery.

USMA classmate, may you rest in peace.
