The local boy who made good in college with studies, calic, and the military. Oscar the Zero (King of the May, Southern Seminary) is what one would call a lover of the first water. His wooing of maidens would turn Casanova green with envy. Beside the above mentioned, the King is quite a military man. A great admirer of jet oil, electro-silicon, and blitz, along with a natural knack to perform his duties well, placed him at the top. It is a gratifying spectacle each afternoon to see him hoist his main sails and go navigating across the parade ground, stop, and in a dominating voice call out the Detail for Tomorrow. The King takes a lot of barracks kidding on the chin, but he never stays down for the count. A great enthusiasm for medicine led him to take the pre-medical course. A serious thinker, a hard worker, a lover of good, clean fun, and a friend of all. XK hat more can man ask? Step off -with tlic jet oil.

O ( ' J J O })} I) Howie came a long wav to enter one of the South ' s old schools. At first, it was a bit confusing to him, but with his usual ability to cope with situations, he managed to become adjtisted to the new ways of living. There are none of us who know him but who arc glad that he was able to get along here and to like it well enough to return the three vears to follow. His Third Class year he achieved military recognition in the form of a corporalcy, and in the years which followed this, he was able to maintain his military prestige without becoming eager. As time went one, those who came in contact with Howie have learned that there are few more likeable people in the world. After a successful four years here in V. M. I., we know that all his brother rats will join in wishing him all the luck in the world. ■ ' Got a leltrr I mm Prij today.

ttt::::n::::n:::tii:::::::::::::t::::::: A Pennsylvania Yankee and proud of it, Mac has made durin g his four years at the Institute a record that ' s outstanding; in activities, the mihtary, socially, and as an all-around good fellow. They busted him, but they couldn ' t keep him down, so a lieutenant ' s chevrons shone on his sleeves in the fall of ' 34. When a good man was needed to manage rat track and intramurals, keep books for the Cadet and minutes for the A. I. E. E., this boy was on the job. When the same good man was needed to keep up the after taps bull session, or any bull session for that matter, Skylight was right on hand. This handsome lad has had the enviable luck to break a few hearts and, as he stoutly maintains, preserve his own, intact. Interested in everything and everybody, including Bunv, R.-M., and Hollins, a gentle- man who never fails to charm everyone with whom he comes in contact, Mac has left us the pleasant memory of good fellowship with all. irhat ' s Ihc diffiTinic. yii avi ' l ijti lirong.
