RANDAL Т. ELLIOTT Peak St., Bedford, Virginia (44) Pvt. Co. D; (45) Corp. Co, A Dave’s the one you always think of when you think of Stuart Hall, as he made quite a hit there. He’s made an outstanding impression on the faculty and cadets both socially and from the standpoint of studies, in his two years here. In- cidentally, fellows, Dave might not be very large, but he’s really a boxer from way back. He is planinng to e nter college upon graduating from A.M.A., West Point to be exact, and there he will be a top officer in Uncle Sam’s army. BOYD M. LAWTHER 10 S. Quincy St., Margate City, N. J.

Preach came here three years ago and has always been a true friend to all, so in saying so long, Preach, we wish you the best of luck. AUGUSTA MILITARY ACADEMY BIGELOW C. THOMSON P. O.

His chief loves are flying and V.M.I., and we will always remem- ber those turnouts saying, “АП men interested in flying report up to 309.” Lots of luck, Bigelow, in V.M.I. GEORGE B. CRIST P. O.
