ALFRED E. BRUCH 2943 BENTON Pace, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C. Putt-Putt, our Battalion Commander and President of the Stu- dent Body, is one of our best-liked cadets. He has been our chief movie projectionist for four years and has devoted himself and his time to the presentation of good movies to the cadets. He is Vice- President of the Literary Society and leader of the Final Ball. Putt is one of the finest persons with whom we have had the pleasure of coming in contact, and we wish him success in later years, MARVIN B. CAPPEL 30x 1984 ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA Marvin is always waiting for letters from Agnes Scott School for Girls, and he invariably waits for a fuse or light to blow out. He has been the poor unfortunate who holds the title of school electrician. He was made a corporal this year, but the things we will remem- ber about him longest were his outbursts in Lit class and his ever willingness to argue about electrons and protons. If his mania for inventing things does not get him into trouble, we are sure he will be a success in later years. THOMAS H. CARTER, JR. Rowunp HILL, VIRGINIA Often referred to as the most improved second-year cadet, Tommy has made an impression on the minds of his classmates that will live for a long time to come. He jumped from the ranks to the Honor Roll, to a Corporal in Company “A,” to captain of the track team, and to a regular on the football team. He will be missed next year, but we know that wherever he goes his overflowing energy will bring him out on top. DAVID W. COLLINS R. F. D. No. 1 FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY The astounding knowledge of horseflesh that has been compacted in Dave has astonished many members of the Cavalry. He has risen from the ranks to First Lieutenant of Company “D.” It fell upon him to take his charges to their weekly shower, and it is a wonder that he did not drown. This exponent of the Cavalry will return to Kentucky with the satisfaction of knowing that his stay at Augusta was not wasted years and that he will long live in the memory of the class of 39.

WARFIELD CURRY 399 N. Euciip STREET St. Louis, Missouri Warfield has become our number one Bridge fanatic and has improved his game one hundred per cent, during his stay at Augusta. His woes of dismay at his partner’s mistakes can be heard above the noise of the crowd. Aside from Bridge, he has proven his ability at fencing and has become the coach as well as the captain of the team. We are all behind you, Warfield, and may our wishes of good luck continue with you through life. RAFAEL ESCALLON 30x No 50 CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA “In my country—-.” Hold everything, Rafe is again loose on his wild tales about Colombia. In three years Rafe has grown from six feet two to six feet five, and his knowledge has increased with the great leap in height. He came to us unable to speak a word of English, and now he is more efficient in the language than many native sons. We all expect to see him President of Colombia some day, and we hope he will become the future Bolivar of South America. THOMAS N. GASQUE 312 S. Irsy STREET FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA The future senator from South Carolina has gotten himself more publicity with his views on how the nation should be run than many of our famous Presidents. He completes his four years at Augusta with a First Lieutenancy in Company “B.” He has tried hard to be proficient in this capacity and we are expecting him to go far in future life. CECIL G. GNANN 425 BULL STREET SAVANNAH, GEORGIA “The man with the five hundred dollar bugle.” That is the title that the base horn has earned for its proficient little master. In his quiet and unassuming way, Cecil has earned the love and devotion of all who have come in contact with him. His outbreaks in Lit class have earned him many votes as the wittiest and his horn- blowing has earned him his hard-gotten title. It is with tears of regret in our eyes that we bid you Auf Wiedersehen, old boy.
