Giving her a slightly pitying look, Tom tells Vi about Barney Poole, the Senior Captain. who leads the entire Corps and must discharge the most honored position in the school by answering to the Commandant and the Superintendent for all that happens in the organizations. I'll bet that the school has never had a more popular and respected regimental commanderf' he continues. 'LPoole was co-captain of the football team, too. The other was Charlie Brooks, the Adjutant. who is really an all 'round athlete. In his job of Ad- jutant. he reads all the orders and notices and has a big job at parades: anyway. they and other staff officers like Robinson, who is Personnel Officer. have a sort of diamond formation and lead the Corps when anything is going on.

The city gave it to the school because we helped them during a flood back around 1910. And that big building over there is the Mess Hall. . . ,.3 ,... 04X ..-4 ' ti WHILE South Barrack functions chiefly as a home tor Company C and some displaced artillerymen like Centry below, it also serves the Corps as a whole in a most important respect. ln the basement of South, barbers Rust and Shock encounter varying degrees of resistance as they mete out regulation haircuts.

Eisenhower won on the Campus by securing 84 00 of the votes.
