LT. COLONEL CLIFTON L. HAIR PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS MATHEMATICS The letters on the marquee spelled Mathema- tics — In order to school our scholars in the arts of the theater of life, each of them was required to dis- play his talents in the opening scene of the mathe- matical stage. At their earliest opportunity, how- ever, most of them forsook this stage and sought more inspiring, though not necessarily more en- lightening, fields. The coaches ' aid in Mathemat- ics was most beneficial and sought after by the players, and the promptees backstage were never idle; but, as the parts were still too difficult for most of our scholars, the latter scenes were participated in by fewer and fewer players. However, the train- ing all received here will aid them in any role they may choose to undertake. LT. COL. MEYERS LT. BARONE LT. HEDGE LT. sunoN MAJOR SAUN DERS LT. HOLT LT. HUTCHINSON LT.

COLONEL SMITH J. WILLIAMS PROFESSOR OF HISTORY HISTORY AND POLITICALSCIENCE Two more scholars left the sroup and followed new leads — the pursuer of history, its riddles, and the advocate of the scientific approach to the poli- tical scene. Here were the most elaborate stage settings of all — feudal castles of noble lords, palaces of great kings, halls of congresses and parliaments, and the bloody battlefields of countless wars, hiere was enacted man ' s whole existence — his life, his laws, and his strifes. Here unfolded before the scholars the fascinating and colorful panorama of the world. Here too was something for the would-be states- men and diplomats, and the world of new outrage was compared with the world of the past. Here were revealed the concerts of the giants — political, social, and diplomatic. It was here that the Col and the King reigned supreme, with their subjects clustered about their feet. LT. COL.

COLONEL LOUIS S. LcTELLIER PROFESSOR OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CIVIL ENGINEERING Before the next scholar lay the setting of one of the most important productions of Our School. On the cover of the program, which he hesitantly opened, could be read the words Civil Engineer- ing — produced by a renowned group of tech- nicians headed by Colonel LeTellier. The scholars in this drama spent many week-ends preparing their scripts, while those in less trying presentations were out relaxing from the strain of their roles. The main scene was centered around a unique building known as the University by the tracks , in which many heads turn gray with worries and all earnestly endeavor to conquer their problems. Although this setting presented a rather serious outlook of Our School , the scholar was abl e to notice an abund- ance of wit and humor which introduced some comedy. This comedy combined with the serious drama ended in perfect harmony, bringing into life a Citadel Engineer. LT. COL. ANDERSON MAJOR HAYNES LT. NETTLES LT. TAYLOR LT. WILLIAMS 30
