Ah so true, so faithful, so kind, and so good! For two long years of military life, Bob has let nothing deter him from the path of sweet love. But that isn't all-he has taken advantage of his time in other ways. He is a consistent work- er in the class room, knows his drill, has many friends, and cheerfully smiles at all times-even in his sleep. You haven't told us where you are J going next year, partner, but we know 0 you will do well. Just remember, Bob- Q ' 24 once an Institute man, always an Insti- Q tute man! Let's have some good pub- N licity. in That's what I heard. eva r NMMI, YQ' 1 . if I I .ug 6 en. ELwooD GARLAND DEYoE Wellington, Kansas DeYu'mp Three years. Rabbit, 1923-24.

Yes' sir, Happy says he's young- young and handsome. She insists his eyes are as coals of fire, his lips passion- ate, and pleadingg his body tall, stalwart, and virile. Oh boy how jealous we are! DeYump's favorite food is corn - bread. Ever since some one told him it was imported from Kansas, he has devoured it with great gusto. His mes- A sage to all mankind is to eat Kansas corn and gain a military carriage.

Accuse him of being a low-brow, and he'll simply return the inevitable So's your ol' man. Criticize his taste in choice of books and poetry, and he'll remain good natured. But of all the insulting epithets in the American lan-guage, the most repugnant to Bigelow is hick. He believes that this word of four letters, meaning a gullible one, contains more contempt and malice than any other expression in the pungent vocabulary of the Jazz Age. He is straight, honest, and a good mixer-one to whom we wish all success in his efforts. You don't say! PJ Page Sixteen THOMAS V. COFFIN, JR. Hope, New Mexico IKT0m,!I f!R0Sy!! Two years.

From the chron- icles of the editor, we note an applica- tion of the definition to this personage, inasmuch as both are seemingly solemn, unexpectedly in demand, and fill va useful place in civilized communities. Being incurious-, we have never delved into Rosy's past, but we are assured- that there are no stains upon his char- acter, and believe it. Tom is the kind of m-an that we are all glad to know- good natured, pleasant and considerate. We hope that he will receive his just reward, and the success that such a type merits.

It is often wondered whether Elmer's mental faculties are normal, for he has been a Roswellite since he first fell out of the cradle, and now we find him a cadet. Perhaps, as a small boy, the romance of military life gained such a sway over him, that he vowed he him- self would some day become a big soldier man, too. Well, his dream has been at least partly realized, for Eggs is one of the biggest things on the Hill. His record in athletics alone would be sufficient to place his name among those men whom this school is proud to endorse. In a military way, he has done well, socially, he appreciates a good time. In short, he's one of us. Well, Fm not so sure about that. Page Eighteen WILLIAM EARLY DOWNING Baltimore, Maryland !fB,iZZl! Three years. Rabbit, 1923-24. Corporal, Ser- geant, 1924-25.

If the two had both run on the same ticket, one would surely have been elect- ed president. We predict that some day he will be a Napoleon of publicity in the business world-that is, if he ever de- velopes the ability to make people under- stand what he is talking about. Though Downing may seem to have devoted his life to promoting something or other, he is, aside from this minor weakness, a true and sincere friend. What more can be said of anyone than that he has the confidence of his asso- ciates? We say this of Downing, and we know that it is true.
