( II . don ' t run til In!,! Here comes the Junior School. No, son. those aren ' t Boy Scouts- they ' re the RUNTS! The Cavalry often fights with- out horses, and according to Na- poleon, the Doughboys could do without their feet; hut believe me, my friends, without the Runts. the Corps of Cadets would cease to function. Who furnished three Cadet Captains? And all from one house, too ! Who copped the Sec- ond Batt Cup for Best Soldierly Qualities? What company has a patent on stars? What single or- ganization in the Corps has a quorum of the Hoxcitser and Pointer Staffs? — to say nothing of the Minor Sports — Lord, man, I most forgot the minor sports ! Didn ' t we furnish the backbone of the Goat football team, and the wishbone of G COMPANY CAl ' T. IIEUATY the Engineer team? Who won the rifle cup when ' 26 were Yearlings? But why no on? Remember how G Co. 2(i dragged their Corps? Only seven bucks to six makes, but the job was done. Will you ever forget the water fights with !• ' Co? And who puts up the sheets before a Navy game? i ' is the K. K. K. of G Co. And now before G Co. ' 26 says goodbye, let us remember our bargain to meet at the Navy game in 19.36. In the meantime, may our Plebes catch more trou- ble, may our Corps continue to be drugged, may our iiitramurderers bring home the bacon, may we grab all the first lines at P-rade, and may our Yearlings get the best fire crackers. Best o ' luck to G Co. 27, ' 28, and ' 29. So long, gang! Get a hair cut ! Res-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-T ! m

H COMPANY PRIDE goeth before a fall. Yea. verily. Ask any man who has been in II Co. two or more years. In the good old days quill was a minimum. We rather got out of the habit of look- ing for the gig-sheet. Then came First Class camp — oh! what an awakening was there. The lost ( ?) art of reporting experienced a sudden revival. Our motto became Every man every day. We won ' t state the exact size of our present gig-sheets — you wouldn ' t believe us. anyhow. Just drop in the 9th Div. some time and see for yourself. In one respect we are living up to that well-known prophecy of the En- gineering Department, You will either be the best disciplined or the most quilled CAPT. JONES class ever to graduate from the Academy. Of course, our Company is famous for some other things. For the last three years our captains have worn stars. We average more chevrons to the square inch than any other outfit in the Corps. Some of us live in suites, and, to the casual tactical officer mak- ing an evening inspection, offer an insoluble riddle over how we can be without his vision and yet not sub- ject to Hours of Instruction quill. And we must have a true business man ' s instinct, because we supplied no fewer than three managers this year: Anklebraee, Striker, and Gabe. And we are known on the squads: soccer, football, swimming, and track. in hundred nineteen
