This is the 1942 Howitzer portrait of Yearlings that contains Ernie. He is in the center of third row of standing cadets, fifth from the left, underneath his enlarged image insert. His best friend, Chuck Gaignat is on the next to last row, directly underneath the light on the wall. The text accompanying the yearling portraits reads: "Oh What has become of Yearling Deadbeat? Summer gave us no traditionally long afternoons of tennis, or golf, or swimming at Delafield. The pinch of national defense brought us long hours of military tactics. Then September plunged us into the hardest grind of academics. They gave us more Spanish and less French; we saw the inauguration of stools in the drawing academy while learning to draw intersection. But if furlough is seventy seven day so Christmas Leave - what sweeter balm could be found for our academic bruises."
