Bartallion Adjutantg Baseball '37, Boxing, Yearbook '38, Wheel Watch '38, Glee Club '38, Lapel Stars. Stubie! Ch Stubie! Our first drill-were the old fellows surprised? Will the new fellows forget it? Out comes Brownie, unknown material, and peps up a greenhorn drill into a comparatively good one. Formerly a high school R. O. T. C. Captain, the only man for Battalion Adjutant. Quite a hand at football, until a broken arm forced him to quit. Brownie was also a humorist in his own way, and a willing and popular worker in all school affairs. .xi v Bobert VV. Chnstophersen, Ir. Chris, Swede Merchant Marine.

C'rnon, now, Mr. Stene! A grin all over his Scandinavian face, and a wisecrack to accompany it-that's our Chris. A veteran of last year's storms, we elected him our Treasurer tprobably because there was never any moneyl. Swede is serious+but not over the texts. We will always remember him doing the Big Apple, feet flying, puffing like a locomotive-and still that grin. Athlete and cartoonist.

Y a 3 Sidney B. Baxter Sid College. Company B, 3rd P. O.g Baseball '38y Wheel Watch '38, Yearbook, Editor-in-chief '38g Lapel Stars. Now if you were a Bachelor. When the newly-formed corps of Cadets came together for the first mess this September, We noticed a dignified but meek-looking individual amongst us. Surely he'd take a back seat in our affairs. What a surprise we were in for! In him we find an haranguer of no mean ability, the organizer of the United Bachelors' Union, a pitcher with a curve that turns right angles, boss of the yearbook, and, if you can get past his vocabulary, a great guy. Chosen our wittiest. H Bryon N. Bode Steve Art School. Company A, Commander, Yearbook '37, '38, Wheel Watch '37. Bang, slam, wizz-zz, bang. Steve's comic antics have kept the corps in stitches for two years now. Good fellow and cartoonist, he was also leader of Company A. Cadet photographers find him a Willing and hilarious subject, as he is the center of every crowd he is in. The responsibility of officership has done much to steady him down. Chosen the most comical.
