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.

JMS Hugo deWildt Hugo, Dutchman Merchant Marine. Company Cp Football '37, '38p Varsity Club '37, '38, Bas- ketball '37p Class Master-at-Arms '37. l'm offa wimmin for good.' Hugo hails from the shores of Rhode Island, but he's more likely to be found sailing the seas. A fisherman by nature, it's not his fault that he dreams of the rolling Waters during classes. He's the best tackle this side of the Rockies, too, even though a bad ankle hampered his season. We shouldn't become serious over a fellow like the Dutchman, but his amiableness and natural kindness make him tops in our book. Chosen most popular. Clifton M. Cooley Cliff, Charley Business. Company C5 Football '37, Class Master-at-Arms '37, How many e's in Mississippi? Cliff is a loyal cadet, winter and summer. Occasionally, his Ford and roving spirit get the best of him., and it's off to Washington Where things are pretty lively, We hear. A good meal doesn't discourage him a bit, in fact, try to fill him up. Congenial personalities accompany good appetites, and Cliff' has both. If you ever wanted anything done, Cliff was a volunteer. An excellent Watch Officer, too. X x V , it , 1 P an
