Generally recognized as the fore- most American comedia-n of his day, a star of Mage and screen, VVill Rogers was more than that to his average fellow countryman. He had the God-given power of making people laugh and think at the same time. WVill Rogers was no respecter of persons. He would poke fun at presidents, members of con- gress, and crowned hea-ds. Of course people did not feel hurt over this 'because there was never anything deadly in what he said. During his life-ti111e he had many occupations. In -his early life he was a cowboy. Having knowledge in twirling a rope, in IQOS he be- gan his stage career. In 1914 he joined Zieg- feld's Follies and for years was one of the stars of the Ziegfeld productions. From the stage he went to movies and, up till the time of his 19 Oflicer Candidate Class No. 9 Secretary Junior Class Representative of Senior Liter- ary Society, '46-'47 Dance Committee, ,46-'47 ' 1 H Will Rogers death, he was one of the greatest drawing- cards in movies.

He attended Holsell College and later went to Kemper Military Academy. NVill Rogers was also a popular radio broad- caster, and the newspaper COlLlIIIIl he wrote was read by lllkllly. He traveled practically over the entire civilized world and a large part of the uncivilized worl-d. Will Rogers was also a popular air traveler. On August 15, 1935, while flying over Point Barrow, Alaska, he and WVilev Post, a well- known flyer, crashed. ' IVill Rogers may be dead, but his name will linger on for years to come.

PONT is a name that occupies a unique place in America's in- dustrial history. Few ot-hers have been so long or so intimately linked with our country's de- velopment, or have played so important a part in its growth in war and peace-in panic and boom. Since the establishment -in i8oz of a small gunpowder factory on the banks of the Brandy- wine Creek near VVilmington, Delaware, DuPont powders have played a leading part in prac- tically every great event in our counfrv's his- tory. They helped win the XVest, blasted the right of way for steel rails linking the continent, and served the guns of the .llofziror in its epochnl battle with the .tl-lerrimac. The turn of the century found DuPonts look- ing beyond explosives to the yet broader fields of a newly rising chemical wonderland. Even the cataclysm of the first YVorld VVar failed to halt their plans for chemical expansion. During -the next two decades explosives became, in fact, a subsidiary DuPont interest while new interests, laboratory' born, reached out into industry like the spreading -branches of a tree. There followed a growth and expansion of the DuPont Company to an organization main- taining 83 plan-ts in 25 states, encompassing projects that were to benefit millions in their 'daily way of life. Dye stuffs, viscose rayon yarn, cellophane, photographic film, disinfec- ta-nts, lacquers, automobile finishes, plastics, synthetic rubber, and nylon are seen as only a few of Du.Pont's answers to -the challenge to win for America -her economic independence in a world where self-sufficiency is becoming a national slogan. There are powder blackened DuPonts, white collar DuPon-ts, scientific geniuses, dreamers, hard-headed businessmen, and engineers. These are the men who are giving their all -to make -this industry an instrument of service to America by producing better things for better living . . . through chemistry. 4 l

THE CARSONIAN OF 1947 ROBERT K. Di:NisoN Bob 1531 VVindemere Avenue, Baltimore 18, Maryland Distinguished Cadet ist Platoon, Company A Varsity Football, '47 C Club, '47 Intramural Basketball, '47 Intramural Volleyball, ,47 Intramural Softball, '47 Intramural Ping Pong, 947 Honor Roll, ,47 rthopedic Appliances VERYONE thas heard of medicine and engineering, but how many have ever heard of the orthopedic brace maker. This work is so unknown that there are no schools or colleges which have ever even at- tempted to teach it. W'ithout it, orthopedic doctors would be at a loss in curing the thou- sands of spastic and infantile paralysis victims who so need their help. The job of making these orthopedic appliances or braces has been left up to those who, with ingenuity and me- chanical ability, have struggled and educated themselves. Most brace shops are small and overcrowded with all types, sizes, and forms of machines. These shops must be capable of doing anything from repairing to light forging. Because of this you will find the shops well organized, with every available inch of space utilized to its full- est extent. Due to the fact that this type of work is not done on a mass production basis, each worker must be an intelligent, hardworking individual who knows what to do and does it. Although the employer spends time in the shop, he is not able to give continual aid to the employees and, therefore, the worker must have initative, me- chanical ability, and a desire to be on his own in order to be a successful brace maker. Unlike most business men, the employer or owner of the establishment is not a white collar executive, but spends a great ideal of time in supervising and doing the bench work. How- ever, his most important duties are taking meas- urements, fitting, experimenting, and designing new braces as the need for them arises. In short, the employer is the 'hub around which his busi- ness, big or small, revolves. To these men who work and sacrifice that others less fortunate may live a more normal and 'happy life goes an inner sense of content- ment which only comes from helping your fel- low man.
