PdwUf H Tuerto is the oldest of the Spanish boys in the school. Not only in the years he has been here, but also in age, so we sometimes call him Grandpa, He is a nice fellow whom we find easy to chat with and make friends. He is one of the school's Romeos and we heard from the grapevine that he plans to marry a lovely town girl this coming sum- mer. Tuerto was born in Caracas, Venezuela and he never gets tired of talking about his wonderful and beloved home- land and the things he has left behind, He has starred in track although this year he did not compete. When he leaves, the cadets and especially the Spanish boys will rind that some- body is missing because Yanes is a person hard to forget.
