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.
