Foot- ball, 1925-26. Member R. O. B. T., 1925-26. This smiling Mellin's food boy has done much to spread sunshine and dispel gloom during his eventful two years on the Hill. He boosted our football pros- pects this fall when he arrived to play guard, later landing a berth on the All- Southwestern Team. While his military career seems .to have been suddenly checked by a special order, he gained a membership in the R. O. B. T.-and the order never gained a bigger booster. Rose is one of those boys who help make life worth living for the cadets, for many is--the laugh that we have had both at himi' and with him. There is no doubt that Roseis cheerful good spirit will carry him sailing through life as it carried him through a success- ful two years here. Huh? Well, I dowft lmow. ' EDWARD H. POST, JR.

A Templar is the only car on the market. Maybe so- each man for his own ideas. We dislike stublborn resistance and wonlt argue the question. However, this gives an in- sight in Peter's character: honest, straight-forward, and determined. A promising combination! 1 Bud's polo has been good, and his soldiering with G Troop excellent. We are sure he will be remembered in the years to come as one who did his best to further elevate the standards of the Institute. Be yourself, Peter. Goodby -and thanks for the buggy ride. Now, men, the trouble is- Q .1 m rd N 1 I 1 1 lr fa Zi' li!-W ag' we A MM ig 26 E1 X Page Twenty Five

Here is the boy that has kept the flapper hearts of Roswell a-flutter all these years. Poor dears, Cwe love 'em -tool they are still in a daze. But, Nick, if you are as success- ful with a swivel chair under you as you have been in a social line, perhaps we will be fortunate enough to collect what you owe us. And if you are always as fair, and honest, and square, as you have been here, you will certainly succeed. We're expecting that. Good luck, ol-d top, and remember us. Let's get some cider.

Maverick Staff, 1925-26. Bronco Staff, 1925-26. Some feeble-minded men fall in love -the rest write poetry. Mullican does both, and does them well. One night he broke into the room with the cheerful announcement that his best ginl h-ad just married. We all laughed, and agreed that she had exhibited rare judgment. Mullican has been a leader in school activities. He has- taken the leading role in many dramatic productions and has ably assisted the editing of the Maverick and the Bronco. While some of our English instructors may look forward to the dawn of peace when T. L. grad- uates, his schoolmates will part reluct- antly with him, and will always remem- ber him as as true a soldier and gentle- rnan as ever cadet was. 'Th0tt so ?

Why a prospective civil engineer should be attending a military school is more than we can imagine. But Doc seems to be satisfied, and it's not polite to ask personal questions, so we'll pass on to less doubtful things. Snell has made a name for himself in many fields. In athletics, his track work has been well done. Academically, Doc is even with the rest of us, al- though he still pro-tests that if calculus be the poetry of mathematics, then he's through with the finer things of life. Socially-of course, he has his girl. No one knows much about the affair, but it seems serious. So, all in all, Doc is just an all around cadet, and will be truly missed when he leaves. DioZn't get that point, Ma,jo'r'. 0 .7 Q M S , Q5 as - 5 K' Y fa i sf 1 I FRANK H. STONE Panhandle, Texas Country Two years. Rabbit, 1924-25. Corporal Ser- geant, Second Lieutenant, 1925-26. Rifle Marks- man. Bronco Collegiates, 1926. Though the knees 'of his first long trousers were not yet bagged when this youth renounced the world and took the vows of our monastic brotherhood, he brought his Gillette, and full manfully did he wield it! Great is the power of suggestion, for now he nearly always has to shave before the formal, Neggt to his beard his most treasured pos- session is his banjo, from whose strings he coaxes most miraculous melody. When this man knocks at the door of St. Peter's orderly room, we are afraid of but one thing-that he won't say enough for himself. Country be- longs to that category of men who let actions speak rather rthan words. Well now, the luwdware busi- ness- . Page Twenty Six I fa l I 1 la , 253 ,N NMMIF Y ' . ,
