R-Day for the class of June 1943. From the page text: " 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread' was the watchword on 1 July 1940, when six hundred of us from every state of the union reported to West Point. We turned in contraband articles, received our physicals, and as soon as there was a group of twelve, we were escorted to North Barracks where a small army in gray and white converged on us from all directions". The top picture is captioned "Where fools rush in ---", the bottom one "Sir, Cadet Jones Reports ---". Ernie is not in either of these pictures, but he would have had to pass through both places that day.
