A MINISPR TIVE OFFI ER How Colonel Elliott, our Executive Officer, has ever managed his tough job of keeping us all fed, clothed, housed, and transported during this year of rationing and priorities is more than we can understand. Anyhow, we salute him for his success in steering us through a difficult year very successfully. Colonel McKinney, that strong silent man-not so si- lent either- has succeeded in holding us to our traditional standards of military excellence and campus morale in spite of the restlessness always in the air during war times. We appreciate the example he has set us as a soldier and a gentleman. Colonel Henderson this year has been more concerned with turning away applicants than with soliciting them. It is to his judgment in selecting the personnel of the corps in the first place that we owe most of our friend- ships at graduation. Colonel Kellam as director of guidance and advisor for the second class is the man who holds the key to the Iron Gate. Many of us owe our choice of college, Army, or future business career to the wise decisions he has made during our days on the campus. Major Leland-that man of graphs, charts, and tables- has followed our progress thoroughly and statistically to show how this year has compared with others. We thank him for a job that is too often very thankless. COLONEL L. R. KELLEM MAJOR W. E. LELANU f E CoLoNEL A. R. ELLIOTT COLONEL C. F. MCKINNEY COLONEL J.W. HENDERSON

Seems there's a Petty picture on the cover, that means a large sale and an even larger resale. The project is to get orders taken, copies collected, and covers off. Then perhaps the boys will be reduced to reading the inside of the thing. As head of the works, Major Bishop holds the offending rag, ostentatiously going over the contents. Determination is written on his face. The Reverend Mr. Sexton is setting up a diversion by suggesting that they use LOOK instead, he has a disciple in Major Bates. The conservatives, however, seem to be maintain- ing a solid front. Nobody ever even tried to get Mr. Robert- son to look at LOOK, but perhaps that left eye of his is wavering. Only perhaps. Having paid your money for Culver's finest publica- tion, the ROLL CALL Cadvtj, you may study the picture at your leisure and form your own opinion. There can be no possible doubt what- ever that Major Leland will be on the side of the angles. Pun my word, that,s so. The judi- cial look on his face is clear enough indication that a well-reasoned opinion will be forthcom- ing. Captain Harper is concerned, as usual, with practicalities. He wants to know How. And Captain McMinn doesn7t like any part of it. Guess he,s hard to please. Looking at the individual talents faithfully delineated above, it might be a little difficult for an outsider to know just what social science consists of. History, of course-old, new, and middling. Four out of five teach it before forty. And Religion: that's Mr. Sex- ton's specialty, weekdays and Sundays. And Commercial Law, Bookkeeping, Motors, prac- ticalities and Economics-in short, those mat- ters which bear a very direct relationship on our peacetime careers. Gentlemen members of a very hardworking department, we who are about to take your final examinations salute you! Standing-H. H. Harper, W1 E. Leland, J. R. Robertson. Seated-C. S. McMinn, J. H.
