Foggy's ambition has helped him to get ahead, for he has made a success as lady-killer, horseman, stu-dent, and soldier-rising to a captaincy in three years. The cadets are deeply indebted to Leonard for having made Sunday Parade no longer a burden, but a pleas- ure. He can give the same command in more different Ways than seems pos- sible to the uninitiated. Leonard has made himself an out- standing character among us, and is ad- mired for his interest in his' work and participation in school activities. He is especially respected for the good sports- manship that he has displayed in every phase of his cadet life. H amd I Ho1och!! ROBERT L. KNIGHT Plains, Texas Lonesome Luke Four years.

Captain Polo Team, 1925- During Loneso1me's four years he has been the mainstay of the polo team. When a rabbit, he went with the team to Tucson to play our strongest rivals, Ari- zona, who later Won the Southwestern Championship. Since then he has play- ed in every game in which an Institute team has taken part, finally, as Captain, leafiing us to. Victory over Arizona this fal . Luke is from Plains, where he learned to be a cowpuncher before he decided to become a soldier. But he sur- prised everyone at camp this summer by adding the title of sheik to that of cowpuncher and soldier, his social ob- ligations becoming so urgent that he came to be looked on as a day student.

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.

A Mads nomadic spirit has not been curbed by rule or regulation. This trait was evidenced early in his career when he wandered from confinement, ultimate- ly onto the area But a moderate num- ber of tours only added to his lust for new sights. We are now convinced that his naturally roaming disposition will endure permanently. As a military man, Mac has dealt in results. Long will his commands echo over the polo grounds, As skir- mishers, DE-PlJOY, Squad SQUATP' But what of it? His firing line was there! Always primed with energy and ready to take part in any sport, he has ever been at home in any set, and every set is glad to make room for Mac, Look me over, kid Page Twenty Two JAMES GUNN LUMPKIN Amarillo, Texas rrEa,gZe:: Two years. Rabbit, 1924-25. Sergeant, Sec- ond Lieutenant, 1925-26. Dramatics: She Stoops to Conquer, Ice Bound. Member M. A. A. Club. Lumpkin is a studious, original boy with an excellent barracks record and an idea or two of his own. A person with as firm a policy of future con-duct, and as fierce a spirit in the defense of his opinion as this one has, attracts atten- tion-attention that is almost always favorable, except in the case of those pitted against him. The world loves a true man, and we believe that we can safely say that here is one. We respect you, Eagle, and hope that your record and academic work at Texas U. next fall may be as fine as they have been here. Yea,h! can you beat it? !!
