HANSFORD T. DUVAL “Terry” Military Precision—in whatever duty he is employed. One of the best O, D.’s and most highly respected men on guard detail. Academ- ically tops when he cares to be, Artistically in- clined to such a degree that one feels that he should follow this as his life’s profession, Ath- letically, he sticks with wrestling where he excells. Socially he is the answer to many a young lady’s heart and the envy of his fellow cadets. WALTER D. ELLIOTT “Walt” A serious student who puts academies first and then divides his attention thereafter between rifle and the AMA Band. His talent with this organization has helped this unit achieve the suc- cess that it has had this year. Loyal to the high- est of ideals he does his best to make Augusta the place he wishes it to hold in competition with other schools. After his first loves are taken care of, he still finds time for social life. EDWARD U. FERNANDEZ “Eddy” One of our South-of-the-Border friends who came to Virginia to learn how to speak and use the English language for his betterment. Like- able although he intensifies his wishes by constant bellowing his messages across the stoops much to the dismay of the guard details. Quite an athlete when he sets his mind to be one. Basketball is his favorite sport where he enlivened many a long trip with his jokes. OROSMAN L. FERRO “Coyote” One of the most improved cadets in the corps and one who unselfishly gives of his all to help all who need help. His work as a member of the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet is evidenced by the good he has accomplished in bettering Spanish-American relations. A good student who puts his all in to making good marks and usually succeeds in his goals.

HOWARD McC. CARTER, JR. “Herk” The mere mention of “H-Q” Co. and the name of “Herk” Carter cannot be overlooked whatever way the discussion may turn. A harder worker or officer in any company would be hard to find and a more conscientious one is impos- sible, His artistic talent equals his other abilities as a trip to the “jade green and black decorated” room will prove beyond any doubt. Any one hungry will always find “food” in 120 on the first stoop the rendez-vous for the gourmets, HAROLD Y. CHOW “Charlie” A master in many activities at Augusta and tops in all. The decorations at all dances showed his master touch; his work in biology, chemistry and geology are the works of a master; his athletic ability rarely exhibited as a spare game on the Tiger schedule—a few appearances in swimming and a game or two in Lacrosse told us in actions that he was an athlete. To top all this was his sense of humor and loyalty to all that he considered the true Augusta of his heart’s desire. HOWARD E. COLLIFLOWER, JR. Ud beats ba Whenever a test was announced Colliflower got down to work to assure his making the best possible grade. He never did things by halves but with all his heart and soul whether it be his work in military, Roller Rifles, fencing or his first love—lacrosse. When he came on guard he set an example for all top guard details to follow. A friend to those who strive for the highest of ideals. GEORGE W. DAVIS, JR. “Bull” Seldom if ever did one see this fellow without his famous smile. Never one to let his or some one else’s worries bother him however serious they might be. Quiet but serious of pur- pose and that to make sure his attempts to enter college well-prepared in fundamentals. Popular and one of the best liked new cadets.

WILLIAM R. FIREBAUGH, JR. “Dub” Bill came here a bit shorter than he is now and has grown in stature ever since. His height, weight and brawn have helped us win in football and basketbail and lacrosse. Too tall for the Roller Rifles he makes up for it by doing a better job when on guard. An average student who works hard and makes good in all that he enters. if } JOHN J. FOX, JR. “Jay” Think of Fox and you think of high grades and the swimming team for those two things are synonymous. Probably the best student in the school for he knows how to do a lot in a short time. He has confined his athletics to one sport, swimming, and there he has collected State and Southern titles in the 100 yard breaststroke. With Bowers and Ward he has added another title, the Medley Relay. BENJAMIN H. HANSEL “Ben” His contagious smile and willingness to help whenever asked make this cadet one of the most popular in “H-Q” Co. A cadet waiter wanted by all tables for his prompt delivery of food so necessary in the little time allotted to eat in the Mess Hall. An average student and one of the best liked basketball players. RICHARD HENDERSON, JR. “Hendy” A quiet sort of fellow who still has lots of time for a good joke and good time. Never with- o ut a smile and always with good marks which keeps him on the Honor Roll. His accuracy in hitting the basket made him a necessity on our Varsity Basketball team,
