Laurence Leon Archer

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

From the "Howitzer" -- 1969

LAURENCE LEON ARCHER, Lyons, Kansas, A-3

Larry's one of those stocky 5'6" cadets who somehow managed to survive intramural cross-country and obstacle course shelves. If cadets were weapons, Larry would be a mortar -- which may be why he boots a football so far. But fire-power's not always wirepower and souvenir-minded EL 304 gave him a star in consequence. Larry ought to do well in the Army, even if he goes signal.

150 lb. Football 4; SCUSA 4; Skydiving Club 3; Goat-Engineer Football 2; Glee Club 4. Infantry.

USMA classmate, may you rest in peace.
