ROBERT G. LEWIS “ Bob’ is one of my best men.” This is Major Roller’s description of Bob and we will let it be known that it is ours also. Bob is our tumbling coach, and he is aptly fitted for this. Seldom does an afternoon pass that does not see him practising some new trick, and he usually masters it. He is an industrious boy, and as this is such a valuable characteristic, we know he will succeed. SAM R. MILLER “So we gunned over to...” Here comes Sam with one of his stories of Washington night life. Seriously, however, he is our captain-adjutant and a very capable one. This mentions but one phase of Sam’s well-filled life here. His popularity was shown when he was elected secretary of the student body, in addition to being one of the most prominent members of the Cotillion Club and one of our leading social figures. We know you will succeed, Sam, and we will miss you greatly.

RECALL ROBERT F. HUNTER It was just four years ago that Robert F., jokingly called “Louise”, has distinguished himself in many years. This year he is First Sergeant of “D” company. Though he does not lead his classes, he stands near the top. He has real scholastic ability and we know that he will succeed in whatever he may try. The best of luck to you. HOLLY M. KELLER Holly is quite an athlete, quite a scholar, and quite a trifler. He has the combination of all these qualities and has become a friend to all. For three years he has participated in all sports and has done excep- tionally well. While probably the youngest member of the graduating class and the monogram club, he is probably one of the highest members of the former. We hope, Holly, that as you grow older, you will continue to meet with as much success.

JAMES L. MONARCH The “Bing Crosby” of the fourth stoop tower is Jimmy Monarch, He is quite an authority on popular songs, and it is seldom that he is found without a new tune—to which we must listen. Jimmie’s ability in the military line was shown when he was given the rank of second lieutenant this year. We will not attempt to pass any com- ment upon his scholastic ability, but will let his grades speak for them- selves. GUS W. PAPPAS With his quiet and unassuming way, Gus has acquired the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. Known for his neatness, there are few Sundays that go by without him being the possessor of “the best room on the third stoop”. . A corporal in “B” company, he has also found time to excel in academic work. A. M. A. will feel your loss, and you will leave with only the high- est words of praise.
