Winfred Ronald Braswell Thomas ville, Ga. “BRAS’ About all we can say about “Bras” is that he is really gifted with the knack ot writing. If ever anyone needs help with some theme or some re- port, they would only have to look up “Bras” and their’s would come out way ahead of everyone else’s. Carry on “Bras”. 1945- 46 Pvt. Co. C. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. C; C Team Football; C Team Baseball; Newspaper Staff. 1947- 48 Pvt. Co. C; C Team Football, Baseball, Basketball; Newspaper Staff; Annual Staff. ★ John Andrew Carlisle Hagerstown, Maryland “QUIET JOHN” Hailing from the thriving metropolis of Hagers- town eame “Quiet John”. Never lost for words, but always limiting his words to those few neces- sary to express his thoughts was one of John’s most unusual traits. Carlisle has lost a scholar, a gentleman and a cadet. The world has gained a citizen, who will soon make his mark. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. B; P. F. C. Co. B; Mgr. B Team Football; Flight Club. 1947- 48 Cpl. Co. B; Crack Platoon; Non-Comm. Club. ★ Leon Warren Castles Great Falls, S. C. “T. P ” Every year a person’s mind grows broader and can judge others by their actions. “T. P.” started at Carlisle in '46 as a Soph, and has worked himself up and into the Senior Class of ’48. It is because of this that I say: “We, the Senior's of '48, have all the confidence of the world in you, ‘T. P.’ ” 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. A; P. F. C. Co. A; A Football Team; Baseball; Block “C”, 1947- 48 Sgt. Co. A; A Football Team; A Baseball Team; Non-Comm. Club; Block “C” Club. ★ Robert Chaplin Hartsville, S. C. “BOBBY” Well! . . . you’d probably say if you ever walked down the corridor of the second-section shortly after falt-in to call-to-quarters had blown. A person would think that the wild west bandits of old had come back, but it would only be “Bobby” with his handkerchief across his face sweeping the hall. By the way, “Bobby”, that hall really sparkled. 1947-48 Pvt. Co. B; A Team Football; Block “C” Club. ★ Donald Paul Coffelt Falls Church, Va. “DON” Don, although a senior his first year, has made an impression on the boys that shall never be for- gotten. “Don” with his friendly smile was always there to lend a hand when trouble came your way. No matter where he goes there is happiness, and we know he will make good always. 1947-48 Pvt, Co. A. ¥ Hugh L. Cotton, Jr. Jacksonville, Fla. “HUGO” It is beyond us at this present time, as it is with “Hugo” to say what he will do in the cosmopolitan world, but take it from all who have ever had contact with him—he’s carrying the goods—and he’ll deliver. 1944- 45 Pvt. Co. C; C Team Football, Junior Band. 1945- 46 Pvt. Co. C. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. C; C Team Foothall; Boxing Team; C Baseball Team; Block “C” Club; Rifle Team. 1947- 48 Mgr.

Bobby Lawerence Barber Savannah, Ga. “DUMBO” Through determination and courage “Dumbo” has boosted himself to the top of the popularity list with the corps of cadets. This slugging cap- tain of our boxing team is always on the alert to prove himself to be the man we know he is. All the luck to you, and may your life always be successful. 1944- 45 Pvt. Co.

Boxing Team. ★ John Graham Barnette, Jr. Charlotte, N. C. “SQUEEKS” Well this is Friday night, so let's go to “Squeeks” and paint the town red. He is probably in the midst of some bull-session. Those familiar sessions are appreciated by all, 1947-48 Pvt. Co. Band; A Team Basketball. ★ Gustavo J. Benitez Santurce, Puerto Rico “GUS” “Gus” as he is known by the cadets is one of the best liked boys in the school. Although he came here from Puerto Rico with little knowledge of American customs, he soon showed his ability by quickly obtaining “the knack” for the American way. We will all miss “Gus” and we know he will be a great success in life. If we never meet again here's wishing you all the luck in the world. 1945 46 Pvt. Co. B; Rifle Chib. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. B; Rifle Club; Band; Glee Club, 1947- 48 Cpl. Co. Band; B Team Football; Non- Comm. Club; Annual Staff; Glee Club. ★ John Crawford Bennett Columbia, S. C, “HODrAK” Our ’47-’48 drum-maior and Editor-in-Chief is what most of us would consider “A Real Gone Guy” (a right guy for the benefit of all squares). His personality, perserve ranee, intelligence and journalistic ability will undoubtedly contribute to the career “Hodink” selects. We all wish you luck at the ‘‘Point”. 1944- 45 Pvt. Co. “C”; P. F.

P.” Just as some various happenings have to grow on odd persons so was the case of this fellow, but just as in the former case, and by following the old expression “EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE BEST”, I’m sure that every one of the stu- dents at Carlisle would have felt thoroughly dis- gusted with life if they hadn't ever had the oppor- tunity of actuallv becoming acquainted with him. We all wish you the best of luck—“B. P.” 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. A: P. F. C Co. A. 1947- 48 Sgt. Staff; Annual Staff; Non-Comm. Club. ★ Philip Black Chicago, 111. FLIP” Most probably everyone’s first impression of you, Philip, was “a very happy, carefree boy”, but we’ve all learned different. We all know that there are various important things that you strive for and we know that you will get whatever you go after. Much luck, “Flip”. 1944- 45 Pvt Co. “C”; Rifle Club. 1945- 46 Pvt.

Parley Edward Crolley, Jr. Lancaster, S. C. “PEE WEE” When you’re away from home at school there is such a thing as morale, and “Pee Wee” was always around to present everyone with a good joke as morale-booster. For this we offer our thanks, “Pee Wee . 1945- 46 Pvt. Co. A. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co. A. 1947- 48 Pvt. Co. A. ★ Anthony N, Cruit Washington, D. C. “TONY “Tony” has in his quiet way sealed many bonds of friendship during his cadet years. We wish this aspiring, serious minded young fellow all the luck, and we feel sure that he is fully capable of attaining his ends. 1943- 44 Pvt. Co. B; P. F. C. Co.

Cuevas, Jr. San Juan, Puerto Rico “SQUEAKY” From the metropolis of San Juan, Puerto Rico, comes our duty minded “Squeaky” whose military ways will more than likely bring to him as much success in this hard, cruel world as it has here at Carlisle. 1944- 45 Pvt.

C. “SKIN MIMS” We don’t see how “Skin Mims” can fail to go a long way in his chosen field of selling, for his incomparable “Gift of Gab” would enable him to collect funds to pension the widow of the Unknown Soldier. 1946- 47 Pvt. Co, A; Basketball; Block C Club. 1947- 48 Pvt. Co. A; Varsity Football; Basketball; Block C Club; Capt. Basketball Team. ★ Lawrence Don Davis Lawrel, Maryland “DON” One of the four outstanding company commanders of 1948 Don needs very little introducing. “Why wear yourself out by walking your means and ex- tremes off and sulking when you’re feeling blue. Live! Be Merry! Forget the world and abide by your duties.” That's “Don” anywhere. 1944-45 Pvt. Co. B; Rifle Club; Crack Platoon; P. F. C. Co. B. !945t46 Cpl.

C. “SLICK “Got any Boogie-Woogie, sawdust style?” “How about some rye whiskev?” That’s some of the typical questions asked by “Slick” on his regular rounds around barracks.
