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.

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!

Amid the wailing of La Paloma - 'I with red Spanish sash, and clinking of spurs-came our hero, a hot tamale in one hand and a bottle of tequila in the ' other. In due course of time he met Hurd, the hombre, and from that time - on they were compadres. Al can hold one's attention re- markably in his frequent sessions of in barracks. He can explain the psycho- analysis, the intricacies of the genus: homo, terra firma, and women. When he isn't doing any of these, he is smok- Q0 ', ing one of his beloved Spanish cigarettes.

Bronco Hall of Fame, 1926. To have the distinction of being the most love-sick in this corps of love-sick cadets is indeed an honor. Each evening he places her picture upon his desk, cups his chin in his hands, and sits entranced before the icon of I his dreams. And his system of self-in- ' spiration is rather neat: You were a , mighty nice girl-and you've been true to me-I've tried to forget you, but can't. It's love I guess-I'm goin' to write you I about it. The magic formula having been re- peated, Bob is ready for pen and ink, Q I and the result never fails to quicken Q the heart-beats of the fair one. Q l Your fate is sealed, Bob!
