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. Q 1 Gillespie has likeable traits, high H , ambitions, and many friends. We would 2 v V, that he could be with us longer. lm' 1 . Where you goin' felZer?

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!

Football, 1924- 25-26. Basketball, 1924-25-26. Track, 1925-26. Vice-president 1 Club, 1925-26. 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. Sergeant, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, 1925-26. Rifle Marksman. Final Ball Decoration Committee, 1925. Tennis, 1926. Mem- ber, M. A. A. W. J. Bryan had nothing on this boy. 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.

Gallery Team. 19211-25. Virtue, it seems, comes as easily to Jake as do warts to others. The simple truth is that he is afraid to be anything' but good. He says he's been told, and firmly believes, that rain drops are tears falling from the eyes of those in heaven who are acutely distressed when little Iboys misbehave. Consequent- ly, he is a bit uncomfortable when it does rain-and so he came to New Mex- ico to ease his conscience. Of course, he knows' he's been good, but he is taking no chances. He never carries frogs in his pockets or carves his name upon the commandant's desk. However, he has been known to mark the number of laps made during some of our Monday afternoon health exer- cises.

Our fondest memories of Goph will always be associated with a feather bed and a dozen rabbits at his service. Hoyv he can ride the rabbits the way he does, and still be extravagantly liked by them, is a matter for wonder. But the expla- nation of this fact lies in the secret of his personality. As everything that King Midas touched became golden, so every acquaintance Heaney makes becomes a golden friendship. Too much cannot be said for this prince of cadets, this leader of men, lover of fairness and lover of fun. We speak literally when we say that there will be many tears shed when we lose Heaney, the best companion and friend we have had in the past four years.
