A 1973 Conference Medal of Honor recipient as a University of Wisconsin Badger, Nosbusch's ('74) skills were highly regarded on the field and in the classroom, and he was named a member of the 1971 and 1972 Academic All-Big Ten team.

Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM

IBM's eighth CEO never once missed practice as an offensive center on his high school team. He kept the same position at Johns Hopkins. From 1970 to 1972, his team went 17-10. Palmisano ('73) also enjoys a good round of golf.--T.M.By Tara Moore and Jessica Shambora
