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

He played intramural football three years in the Cavalry backfield and was an outstanding quarter-back on the varsity squad last year.

A.; and was a member of the Varsity Club. Page twenty

WILLIAM EDGAR BUXTON Memphis, Tennessee Private Cavalry Pony , as he sometimes was known, entered Culver three years ago and exercised his iistic prowess in the intramural boxing ring to win a regimental title. During his iirst year he also saw service on his intramural baseball team, and helped his organization win the regimental championship in football. He returned to Culver last September after a year ' s absence on ac- count of an injury. He became half-back for the varsity football team last fall. It might be difficult to say how easily he could wing a duck or hit a rabbit on the run, but it was generally known among members of the Troop ' s rifle team that he could mutilate the center of a target. When the Quill staff was reorganized last year, he was one of the writers who contributed to the Quill ' s pages. Page Uventy-two
