To what source he owes his popularity it is hard to say, unless it be to his height or his smile, whichever is the more n-oticeable. This shy and retiring lad from Santa Fe first came before the public eye in an official way with the aid of his guitar and charming voice. The oc- casion was the time he sang a beautiful Mexican love song for the corps from the balcony in the mess hall, thereby spoiling our evening meal. With an en- viable record in athletics, and with many friends and admirers, Von Nyvenheini has been a true cadet throughout the days of his Institute life. f'Hey, Duke! I! WILLIAM H.

The above picture, dear ffriends, is none other than that of 'fSweet William -the pride and glory of sally-port five. There have been those who wi-shed to call him Bill or Billie Boy, but these appellations, with their rustic and puerile implications, have been awarded to ,the more deserving of our brethren. Stonie's record at the Institute embraces a varied list of activities. Ac- ademically, he has led his class for the yearg in the military department he has won his buttons, and achieved realiza- tion of cadet ambition in the D. O. L. assignmentg socially, he has woloed- won-and-er- been disillusioned. Oh, such a bitter pill! We are mighty sorry to see Stu-nie ieave us, for he has been a sincere friend to all. The least we can do is to offer a promise of remembrance and wish him lots of luck. This is the proposition- 0 0 Q 'd m 1 A lr 72 1. 99 're l ' Lia' 26 'QL J 6 Page Twenty Seven

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.

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 ' . ,

Watts has been a rather quiet fellow, but those who have known him have enjoyed his good humor and cheerful spirits. In the classroom his sudden awakening' from ,a prolonged state of coma has often been the cause of those absent-minded remarks that produce such convulsions of laughter. It must be a wonderful feeling to be so free from care and worry as Watts seems to be, for he goes through life always with a smile on his face and a detached air about him-as if he were in another world. With this attitude we know that he will always make friends wherever he goes, as he as done here, and we feel no anxiety in seeing him weaned from -the protection of In- stitute life. Oh, yeah, thats right. Page Twenty Eight EDWARD DEWEY WALSH Shrevesport, Louisiana Swa.my0y Three years. Rabbit, 1923-24. Corporal, Ser- geant. 1924-25. Corporal. Sergeant.

I know I'-m not fit for her, but I bet yuh I'm a better cadet from now on. Platoon, Attention! Such is the substance of the tactical lectures that Swampy gives to the in- nocent platoon which he leads to the mess hall for three squares per. I-Ijs underlings have great faith in Swampy and so they bear patiently with him. Walsh is well liked, and held in high esteem by the cadet corps. We predict for him a decided success in whatever walk of life he is to follow, and pno- claim his a distinct -type of young Amer- ican manhood-a true gentleman and a good sport.
