lAMES T. BRANSFIELD Chicago, Illinois Captain Cavalry Mounted Service Commander Touch , as he Vi as referred to by most troop- ers, has made a memorable record during his four years at Culver. He began his military advancement as a corporal, was promoted to first sergeant, thence to captain and second in command of the corps. He played intramural football three years in the Cavalry backfield and was an outstanding quarter-back on the varsity squad last year. He won a football sweater, swam two years in intramural swim- ming meets, and played two seasons in the intra- mural basebal l diamond. He showed his stam- ina in the boxing ring by winning a varsity letter in that sport two consecutive years. He was vice president of the Cadet Club, of the Hop Club, and of the Y. M. C. A.; and was a member of the Varsity Club. Page twenty

John was advanced to the rank of sergeant before Christmas a year ago and held that of- fice until a year later, when he became a lieu- tenant. He was a member of the Culver Musi- cians and earned an R. O. T. C. medal in Musket- ry. He was shifty on his feet; played two years of intramural basketball, and became proficient at shooting baskets from the far end of the floor. His nimbleness of foot was also an asset to him on the varsity tennis court, for he swung a mean and fast racket and kept his opponent guessing as well as missing. He was an enthus- iast for baseball, and played two years on the intramural diamond. He was of quiet manner, and agreeable personality; qualities for which many cadets will long remember him.

There seemed to be an air of mystery hanging over Mark ' s head, as there were many strange nicknames his friends wanted printed here. But Mark disapproved, and as Mark is a likeable sort, we ' ve decided to yield to his wish. He played on his intramural football team, which won the regimental title, for which he very cap- ably filled the position of half-back. He was the right forward of a Troop basketball squad. Mark was a member of the Y. M. C. A. two years, and as he was a good Trooper, won his B. H. T. ' s before Christmas leave in 1934. MARCUS HURD BRIGGS Kokomo, Indiana Private Cavalry Page twenty-one
