Q ' s Don't tell us 13 isnit an unlucky number-just count the brain busters in this picture, and you'll see what we mean! The Math De partment is positively ivy covered, it has so many traditions. For in stance, there's Msuicidei' math, and Mr. Donnelley's sarcasm, and Mr. .lurgenson's Gentlemen, and Colonel Shanks' cigars and southern hospitality, and Mr. Gouldingis preoccupation with mechanical drawing and varsity wrestling-but the list could easily be extended to infinity, or whatever that extremely remote point is. But we don't wish to give the impression that this department is famous only because it is encrusted with tradition-not at all. In fact, it has more anew bloody' in it than any other academic group in school. There's that master of leather covered spheroids known as basketballs, Mr. Charles. Seated next to him is Mr. Butterfield, whose house is located on the lake shore-as near the water as possible to remind him of his navy daze. The man keeping a suspicious eye on the photog- rapher is none other than Captain ''the-way-we-did-it-at-West-Point Blackburne. That's Mr. Sutherland beside Colonel Shanks. Yes, he's reading an exam question. Looks tough, but not quite tough enough,'7 his expression seems to say. Whatever it is the others are cooking up, it must be good. However, Mr. Staples isn't going to commit himself- scientific attitude, no doubt. Mr. Bentz is clearly just about to be hooked, Mr. Hesgard is completely sold, and Captain Stevenson is obviously the chief promoter of the project. However, Colonel Middour's sales resistance, like Mr. Staples', is still strong. All kidding aside, however, we have a very healthy respect for these men-those who uphold old traditions and those who start new ones. We have a feeling that in the near future we shall be remembering them gratefully for what they have taught us as well as for who they are. 29

Well here thev are, bovs-those masters of the innermost secretsl of 9 . . earthworms, turtle livers, alternating currents, 2CsH1s, and Boy 9 S Law-better known as the Science Department. These supermen dwell in a private pent-house known as The Lab on top of Main Barrack on top, so that any explosion will take off only the roof instead of sending the entire structure skyward First, we hail Bugs7' Benson, who has spent the best years of his ' ' Wh n not engaged in such pursuits, he is generally to be found plowing patriotically in his victory garden in the greenhouse on the roof or else plowing through comment sheets and pink slips in the Battery Counselor's office. Sitting next to him is that dynamic bundle of electrons, Doc7' John- son, who has yet to succeed in blowing up the lab. Keep at it, Doc! Any one of us would be happy to take the rap for you. And then we see Hurrell' Strait a one-man lab-manual in himself who has been known to lead the Camera Club into the Indiana blizzards in pursuit of shadows on snow formations Forming the rear guard of this impressive army against ignorance 6941 WN xl f Vt , If Standing' f Seated-'E CIE E DEP RTMENT vouth probing inside of frogs to find what makes em Jump. 6 F X , 9 N 'e 4? f I 'K ,ll ' .

ANGUAGE DEP RTMENT Wow! Y That group of looks on that group of stone faces sayS JuSt HS plainly as could be, Just try to pass a language, Buddy, just try, and try, and try . . . And they speak truly, for these scholars represent our illustrious Language Department. Seated at the end of the table is Mr. Kong King, who besides teach- ing us all about Caesar and Chardenal kicks a mean soccer ball. We hear he skates too-quite a gay blade. The man with the come-hither look is really our head coach Wally why-aren't-you-out-for-some-sport Walaitis. How he ever snuck into this assemblage of linguists is a military secret. Major naughty-but-nicew Davis is playing center in this line-up. Heis the chairman of the department and is scouring the country right now for a man to teach Japanese, Russian, Hindu, and Eskimo-after all, Culver educates the whole boy. The next two linguists may be included and concluded in a single sentence, for they could both qualify as pitchers for the Yankees with the practice they get in tossing chalk at us unsuspecting kay-dets-- Barndaddy Barnfather and Fabius Tuckerus. Don't be alarmed by that expression on the countenance of Mr. black-sheep-troop Myers. Hels just trying to figure in his head the ratio between longer C.Q.'s and higher Q.P.,s for the Troop. The cheery smile of Signor Patch lends a bright spot to an otherwise dreary scene. That anemic looking weakling is Mr. Charles Atlasn Mars-locally known as Legs He is now serving his favorite uncle at the front. Ha! Dapper Dan Curry: that crack of yours, sir, about osculor', Cmeaning to kissj has us rolling in the aisles. Mr. Luther has just finished a tennis game and lost-or else he's pondering on the delights of living in old Argonne, but we love him jgst the same. Ar the end of the row we find Mr. 69M- EH t-a-C-with-me .Tha1n. If you7re wondering about Mr. Caesar', oos, you ll find him under the table looking for the last of the Hel. vetti-you know, the ones that got lost. I Mi 151121 K I llllfllkf Standing-M.
