Buck” is one of those lads who, literally speaking, is “hard to figure.’’ Even his clos¬ est friends are seldom able to spot him on anything he does. When a task is to be done, no questions are asked and none are needed; he simply goes after the thing in his own peculiar manner, usually making an A-l job of it. During his four-year sojourn with that “esteemed organization—the band, “Buck” has contributed much to the success of all parades, ceremonies, and what not, with his commendable performance on the French horn, the intricacies of which he has thoroughly mastered. Thomas’s work under “Karl ' ' has been especially worthy of praise and his other scholastic endeavors have al¬ ways met with like success. For two and one half years a shining light in the military world, he confused his sights in his senior year, overlooked such a small object as the O. C. and, as a result, wound up with Pvt. enscribed opposite his moniker. ’32-’33 Recruit, Band. ’33-’34 Cpl., Band. ’34-’3S Supply Sgt., Band. ’35-’36 1st Lt., Band. Fred B. Barrett Infantry—Business Administration Clover, S. C. Fred, black-browed Cloveridian, has gone through his four years with us in a peaceful, unpretentious manner, fulfilling his duties to the best of his ability. Dignified and honest in all doings, both his classmates and the authorities have been wont to hold him in respect. Fred is neither a Casanova nor an extra-curricular fiend, but he is capable of holding his own in any session and never fails to contribute a proportionate share. First- rate as a “Louie,” his efforts under “Ti-hi- betts” and the remaining B.A. boys have been equally as commendable. We won’t easily forget Fred, and feel confident his persistence and real ability will enable him to make his mark in the world. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. D. ’33-’34 Cpl., Pvt., Co.

Earl has gone through college with both eyes shut—he was voted the “sleepiest” by his classmates, but he has seen more than most of us. Particularly fond of music, one can always find him listening to “Travis” singing “I ' ll Be With You Where You Are.” “E. C.” will be one of the first of our class to get married for he believes in the old adage that “music makes the home.” “The great lover” got misplaced in the band, liked it because there he could close his eyes, walk in his sleep, and listen to “beautiful music.” In his studies he does well because he is willing to let the teachers worry. He went out for football four years because it made him sleep better at night and was on the boxing team because it offered the best way of getting to sleep without half trying. You may not be able to count the freckles on his face, but well, what h—-, Earl will not worry about it—he’ll sleep. YUM ’ 32-’3 3 ’33-’34 ’34-’3S ’35-’36 Recruit, Co. A; Fresh. Council; Fresh.

C. “The short job,” “the short dog,” that’s “Pooch” Black. Between regular jaunts to his native land he resides at The Citadel. Liked by everyone, the pleasant laugh and pleasing personality of this duck-b. have earned him many friends. An aspiring Ca¬ ruso, “Duck” is proud possessor of a boom¬ ing basso—worthy of one far larger in stature—and as a Sunday morning songster has caused “Zeke” no end of worry with his vieing vociferousness. His motto of “never trust a woman” stood him in good stead during his constant diddlings in Pensacola, and “C. E.” is all for going Black some day. “Fuzzy” generated many a worry for friend Clarence but his best effort ' s couldn’t shake our confidence in him, and along with “Poochie” we look forward to the day when DR. BLACK will grace a Bambergian shingle. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. E; Glee Club. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co. D; Glee Club; Prize Co. ’34-’35 Sgt., Co. D; Junior Platoon; Glee Club. ’35-’36 Pvt., Sgt., Co.

La” is another of the lads from Green¬ ville who has made of his four years at col¬ lege a period well worth remembering. Pos¬ sessing a sense of values along with a never- failing cheerful disposition, he has first made friends—many of them—and has next turned his efforts to burning up the cinder path as miler on our track team and to serving on Hop Committees. La is a physicist; so, of course he has had his sleepless nights worrying about specific gravity and, inci¬ dentally, about specific gals in Pensacola, but those things don’t matter much to a phi¬ losopher. We don’t know what La is planning to do in the cold world, but we are confident in our expectation that he will do it well. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. D; Greenville Club. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co.

Jack” seems to be capable of enjoying him¬ self even if the situation isn’t the best that might be asked for. Truly a scientist of the better variety, this member seems to figure it obligatory that he should determine the whys and wherefores of every situation with which he is confronted, and as a consequence has developed a knack of seeing things in their true light. A Bolshevist of the old strain, the rare things in life stay his at¬ tention rather than the commonplace. Jack’s” always ready to go when the word is spread and more than usually it’s to Camden. The interest is quite evident. Prob¬ ably his only dread in life is that some day he may be reduced to teaching. Let us hope not. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. F. ’33-’34 Pvt., Co. E. ’34-’35 Pvt., Sgt., Co.

Wade may best be described by saying, “He took the bull by the horns.’’ For indeed, this he did to the extent that there seems to have been a place carved out for him here into which he exactly fits. A “D’’ Company man of the old variety, he served in the capacity of captain with distinction. In the squared circle he also held sway and was one of the mainstays of the Bucks for three years. It can’t be figured whether his boxing devel¬ oped his dancing, or vice-versa. At any rate he pursued both pastimes with equal intent. “The Bird is also fond of the ladies and more than always has been known to have some little number on the string. He’ll get along, this lad, and we ' ll hear more from him some day. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. F; Fresh. Council. ’33-’34 Guidon Cpl., Co. D; YMCA Cabinet; Boxing Team; 2nd. Class Gunner. ’34-’35 1st.

C. “Pete”—genial, likeable—Belton product, entered The Citadel in ’31 but transferred to Clemson the following session. One year of “Worst Pointing” was all he could stomache, however, and so the opening of our Junior year found him back home—one of us. We accepted him dubiously at first, but almost immediately succumbed to his irresistible af¬ fability, wit, and sincerity, and accepted him whole-heartedly. “Pete” did well by him¬ self in other ways too, sporting rank both years, being a member of the football squad, and cutting quite a figger in the world of tall glasses and lovely lasses. A struggling B.A. lad, he fought the good fight, avoided the active axe by his own good acts, and came home under the wire. A whiz at accompish- ing something with the least possible expendi¬ ture of effort, “Pete ' s” nonchalance and de¬ pendability should stand him in good stead in later endeavors. ’31 -’32 Recruit, Co.

Burns Artillery—Engineering Camden, S. C. We wish there was a table in the picture above so that we could get off a fast one about Julian being under it. We also wish there was a pedestal on which we could place the “cutest member of the class’’ and the one for whom the saying “little of stature, big of heart” is most applicable. “Duck” has served on The Standing Hop Committee for years and has fanned many a battered physiognomy as manager of our champion boxers. We are confident of two things: that some day he is going to tie up with that “slip- stick ' ' of his and come out a real engineer; and that just because he is diminutive is no reason he should be having miniature trouble. However, that will clear up when all recognize him as we do: a gentleman— a true friend. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. F. ’33-’34 Pvt., Co. D; Varsity Boxing; Bull Dog Staff. ’34-’3S Pvt., Platoon Sgt., Co.

Billy Carr is a living refutation of the adage that “human nature doesn’t change.” Four years ago he was a Damnyankee—now he is a Southern Gentleman of the first— could we say water? He came to the South and to The Citadel on one of five First Division A. E. F. Scholarships, and remained to do his military well and his making of friends superbly. We have never known a more thorougly likeable fellow, nor few as capable. His splendid job as Chairman of the Class Invitation Committee is evidence of his ability. We hate to see the “Yanks” reclaim him; count having known him a privilege; and look forward to future, mu¬ tual visits when we may reminisce of Folly and of the Half-Way House. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Page Forty-two Frank M. Castellow Infantry—Business Administration Georgetown, Ga. Weldon Van Cole, Jr. Artillery—Business Administration Asheville, N. C. Note! Never ring a bell in the vicinity of this celebrity. “Punch Drunk” truly de¬ serves the full connotation of his title! The opening of our Junior year found this bulky lad amongst us, and from the very outset his peculiar antics, combined with his athletic prowess commanded attention. His medi¬ ocre performance on the football field was pleasantly eclipsed by his surprising ability in the “squared circle,” where friend “Shell Shocked” acquitted himself nobly as the school’s light-heavy representative. For some reason his strange idiosyncrasies were benev¬ olently disregarded by the military gods, and in view of his broad military knowledge our “Shell” was peculiarly honored by being made a Sergeant shortly after his emergence from the status of recruit. Frank, for all his strange characteristics, is an ace-high fellow, and those who were fortunate enough to make his close acquaintance full realize the good qualities which abounded within him. “Pee Wee” may stutter a little when he gets excited, but when it comes to rapping off a few pages on a typewriter he tears along without a hitch. A man of rare ability, he knows his work and is able to do it with speed and dexterity, a trait well known to the Military Department. Last year Van spent most of time worrying over his charge, The Bulldog while this year he has been busily engaged in running the school’s pub¬ licity department for “DrPop.” To top it all off. he sports gold stars—in itself mirac¬ ulous, since he’s one of “Gerstenberg’s” boys. ’Tis said that coming events cast their shadows before them, and this record of “Pee Wee ' s” is unmistakenly a very distinct shadow—all of which shows to go you that some day we’ll be hearing from this young John Pierpoint. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Cous hasn ' t changed much during his four years ' stay, but we’re glad. We like him as he was and is. He hasn ' t left any wide meteoric path behind him, but he has been unusually competent and has done things in his own way and his own time. Fat Lady has led a well rounded life at The Citadel: a gay social whirl was his, and he kept on the go; in his studies he has sustained his cranium above the proverbial HsO; his military stock was high until his Senior year when the depression hit it, but he managed to salvage a little from the debris. These bits we won ' t forget about “Cous,” particularly his “camp car,” how he used to look down at McClelland, and his slow, sure grin. 32- 33 Recruit, Co. A; Fresh. Council. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co.

Ever a man to speak his mind and to follow his own convictions, Alvin has al¬ ways commanded the respect and admiration of all who know him. His frankness, com¬ bined with his strength and capability, have stamped him during his four years here as one of the most able men in the corps, while his ready laugh and ever present desire to lend a helping hand have earned him in¬ numerable friends. It is indeed unfortunate for the Geeche pulchritude that this lad spent most of his leave moments either journeying to or from his native heath, Camden, or in learning how to build bridges and the like. Never a shark at extra-curricular activity, Alvin devoted the greater portion of his time to studying, FERA’ing, or taking care of the duties assigned to him by the military authorities. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

John Donald Dial, Jr. Artillery—English Columbia, S. C. Big Ed upholds the reputation of the more generously proportioned of us for hav¬ ing a good temper—the coaches are inclined to believe that he is even too filled with the cream of human kindness. It would sound both paradoxical and ominous to say that he is the most dreaded cadet in the corps, but we must relate the facts—it has been his onerous duty to collect certain outstanding obligations from fellow cadets, and great is the scurrying and the sounding of the tocsin when his slapping footsteps grow noisier in the distance. He has footballed for four years and tracked in his odd moments—when equipment of sufficient magnitude could be secured. He possesses a very keen mind, which he sometimes uses in confounding conversa¬ tionalists and occasionally in study. Chief among his claims to fame lies in the fact that he has long been associat ed with the physi¬ cists and still not become fuzzy. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. H; Fresh. Football. ’33-’34 Pvt., Cpl., Co.

Wbimp and his nimble wits have engi¬ neered more hell during his four year so¬ journ here than Jackson did in his entire Valley Campaign, and as for the ability to get out of a tight spot—friend Stonewall wasn’t in it with this lad! A firm adherer to the theory brains overcometh brawn,’’ Don is also unexcelled as a fixer!” Twice, however, costly slips almost proved his undoing and on both occasions a lesser personage than The Whimp would have succumbed to the the combined attacks of the Dough and his two henchmen. His exploits in this direc¬ tion have been rivaled only by his activities in the social whirl. Truly a connoisseur of the various delights to be encountered at Henry’s, Folly, The Half Way House, and similar establishments, Don will apply his high IQ to the pursuit of criminal law. ’32-’33 ’33-’34 JL A ’34-’35 ’35-’36 Recruit, Co.

If you succeed in ruffling the calm de¬ meanor of this slender Orangeburgian, you will have accomplished something we haven ' t seen done in the four years that we have known him. Wortham is so quiet and re¬ served that we simply accepted him for two years without suspicioning the championship qualities abounding within his wiry frame. Imagine our surprise when Dib” suddenly popped up from the clay court wars with the State championship in singles dangling modestly from his belt. The military dema¬ gogues suffered the same shortsightedness, and so Private Dibble quietly made his way through the first two classes—when, lo, Worthless suddenly found his collar fastid¬ iously decorated with silver discs. One of our best Engineers, Wortham has created a perceptible sigh in the world of white gloves and lovely ladies, and though once falsely accused of bagging little birds on the ground. we are confident that he will more than match his court-ing accomplishments in the world of steel girders. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

When Dave enters the ring there is always a perceptible sigh of relief. We know that we can depend on his bout for that sorely needed point. Then if The Diamond hasn’t his gloves on he can usually be seen handling a slide rule with the same preci¬ sion displayed in handling a doughty op¬ ponent, for he is one of ‘‘Bub’s” boys, an engineer, and from what we hear a good one.

John proved to us that his knowledge of things military was practically unbound in our Freshman year. Consequently we were not in the least surprised when he was ap¬ pointed Color Corporal at the outset of our Sophomore year. Nor did he slip, for he has been the ranking man in his class in the Ar¬ tillery Battalion since then, which is no mean accomplishment. Rather retiring by nature, John felt his oats during our last two years and proved to be a regular jelly. He per¬ formed worthy services on the Cadet Activi¬ ties Committee and the Cadet Committee. Being one of “Bub’s” boys, we will count John among the most prominent engineers some day. Morgan D. Dubrow Infantry—Engineering Manning, S.

This spinner of great yarns, this pride of Manning this shining ex¬ ample of manhood, thinks independently and acts accordingly. An ardent admirer of Na¬ ture in the raw, Morgan took up Engineering, vowing to “bridge from New York to Paris.” One of our easy going 1st Lieutenants he sprang to the fore in the middle of his Senior session when a staff captaincy was unsuspectingly thrust upon his lean frame. Likeable, witty, and popular, “M. D.” looks likely to climb well up the ladder of success. ’32-’3 3 ’33-’34 ’34-’35 ! 35-’36 Recruit, Co. H. Color Cpl.; Reg. Staff; Rifle Team. 1st. Sgt., Co.

Arthur William Ferguson Infantry—Engineering Macon, Ga. From the rock bound coast of Reedy River to the sun-kissed strands of Pensacola Beach—there are longing hearts, the last sad vestiges of the voyage of The Great Earle and his notorious machine, “True Love.” But the Class of ’36 is not only proud of Perry as its most sombre equestrian, but it will ever remember him for his sterling good fellowship and as our veteran member of the Standing Hop Committee. His ever amiable greetings have become inseparably associated with our receiving lines. And though few suspect it, he knows his Gerstenberg from G to G, which, along with the executive ability he displayed in that onerous position of Business Manager of The Bull D ' og, assures us that he shall be successful in busi¬ ness. Incidentally, we also wish him luck when he Sallies forth on another more ro¬ mantic venture. The Blond Blizzard has dashed all over the gridiron for four years, goaded on by the incessant “Come on, Fergie!” of “B2,” and as co-captain was to be reckoned with by all Citadel opponents. “Whitey” further acquitted himself by captaining the Rifle Team, and as commander of Co. “C” made an enviable record. Possessing a disarming grin and an amiable disposition, Dad proved himself something of a fire-fly by his shine-at-night antics, and seldom a social occasion passed that he could not be dis¬ covered in some secluded corner dish-corshing on various topics. Whitey” struggled with Bub and co-horts with the same tenacity displayed so strikingly on the football field, and, consequently, we’re giving odds that many moons won ' t elapse before he’ll be a shining light in the biz. world. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Ralph might justly bear the caption of “our mightiest atom,’’ for though small in stature he has, indeed, been big in deed. Three years of varsity footballing demonstrated his manhood and guts, while his accomplishments on the cinder path was recognized when he re¬ ceived the alternate-captaincy in his last year. But “R. P.’s’’ versatility does not stop in the realm of athletics. Quite a Don Juan his ex¬ ploits among the fairer (thank you, Ralph) element were of such a quality as to establish his candidacy for dark horse honors, and we are quite positive had he been less quiet con¬ cerning his conquests he would even now wear that covetous crown. One of “Louie’s” lads, Ralph suffered little difficulty in garner¬ ing high grades, and should he decide to con¬ tinue in this field, we have no fear that this likeable, all-round good lad, will push to the top. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

With such a moniker we naturally expected big things of this quiet Easley product—and we were not disappointed. His sojourn here has stamped him as an unpretentious, retiring sort of lad, and it was not until well toward the middle of our Junior year that we got to know him. Now, after a pleasant acquaint¬ ance we see him clearly—a capable, steadfast friend. Thomas’s sudden meteoric rise in the military world surprised both the class and Tom, but the manner in which he has ful¬ filled his staff captaincy justifies his position. As an Engineer he is well versed in the in¬ tricate maneuvers of the “slip-stick,” and his grades seem to assure us of his later success. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. G; Fencing Team. ’33-’34 Pvt., Co.

Spencer, Raleigh’s (?) contribution to the class is peculiarly marked by his inherent stiffness and cynical nature. Wont to hold in smirking disdain any and everything, “S. B.” is regarded in some quarters as per¬ sonifying the inference of his initials, but his numerous friends stand in silent refuta¬ tion of the misapplication. For four years he has been a silent power in the “Zekeian hierarchy” and his worth in that field is justly reflected by the capable manner in which he handled the advertising for The Palmetto. A recognized socialite, this worthy has graced (?) many a gathering, while his work under “Gerstie” has borne fruit, and consequently we look for him to succeed as he journeys on. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

There he presides with great dignity, pomp, and ceremony over the thesaurus. Elowever, he is a real fellow and has a propensity for making the best of any situation. Whether or not the ability to spout out a superfluity of polysyllabic words on the slightest provocation is an asset, we must re¬ cord the fact that “Edgar” beams inordinately while discoursing at great length on any topic which may rear its head. He is a writer and speaker of no mean proportions. “Beau” enjoys life to the fullest and is occupied with many interests—he has evolved that long- sought ability to make himself happy what¬ ever the circumstances. ’31-’32 Recruit, Co.

Bill” is one of those fellows that we like to count among our friends. Slightly serious- minded, this native Charlestonian has made a name for himself here at The Citadel. His military career was fittingly climaxed when he was appointed ranking captain, being com¬ mander of Company “B.” Button” has gotten a lot more out of school than what was furnished by the Academic department. Although he was one of Louie’s” students, he entered into many outside activities in which he was outstanding. Our stay at Fort Barrancas was a most enjoyable in¬ cident to Gres,” excepting his stay (?) in Pensacola. In les affaires d’amour, Bill is anything but fickle, and he should make a prominent home-loving dairyman before many years have past. Clifton LeCroy Hair, Jr. Artillery—History Charleston, S. C. This easy-going low country contribu¬ tion, is an ace-high fellow and a true friend. With him sleeping is a passion to be pursued with equal ardour both in and out of class, and when he isn’t peacefully dozing through one of the venerable Karl’s” lectures, he can usually be found curled up on a mattress in barracks. Clif” it seems is quite a blade, too, and from what we hear of his Charleston, Arizona, and what¬ not, exploits, we sincerely regret that we had to forego the pleasure of seeing him in ac¬ tion in Pensacola. To C. L.,” military has been a trivial thing—something not to be particularly bothered about, so he has been well pleased and contented with his 1st Louie” on the Staff.

Coming to The Citadel from the metrop¬ olis of Pinopolis in the “Hell Hole” swamps, “Monk” has made innumerable friends and an enviable college record. Without hesita¬ tion we nominate him the most innately gentlemanly person we have ever known, and one of the most capable—especially at getting work done with a minimum expenditure of effort. As a trackman and as Varsity Bas¬ ketball Manager, he has done outstanding work in athletics; as a student and as a vet¬ eran member of The Round Table, he has accomplished much intellectually. It is prom¬ ising to the future of our state when men of J. C.’s calibre go into public service. He is going to be a politician (probably a baby kissing one). We hope and are confident that some day we can cast our vote for him for governor. Good luck, “Monk.” Specifications: age 16, years; blond. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. G; Fresh. Football. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co.

While “Drum Major Hatzfeld slowly pumps his closely trailing organization across the green, gnat infested sward, audible sighs of “ah” and “oh” can be heard to echo from all sides as admiring lasses cast approving glances upon his stately stature. But from available reports, it seems that such covetous admoni¬ tions are completely ignored by our hero, and he reserves the zenith of his apprecia¬ tive powers for a certain number in Tampa.

Needless to say, many a “wise one” fell by the wayside, but not Thomas. Four years of soldiering has changed him quite a bit, but for the best. Good natured, sincere, and helpful, he meets all with the same frank¬ ness and cherub smile and is liked by one and all.

We will long remember him for his serious, con¬ scientious ways, but more than that, we’ll never forget his subtle wit, his incompatible absent-mindedness, and his inherent polite¬ ness. “Nick” spent most of his spare mo¬ ments either worrying with the Shako, his pride and joy, or worrying “Schnozz,” Perry, and Johnnie with his laugh defying puns.

He has an artistic eye which he occasionally turns to the production of modern masterpieces for local consumption, but more frequently it ' is used in critically evaluating the world of woman. Recently overheard remark made by a blessed damozel while scrutinizing our John: “Ain’t he cute!” One of our foremost “three disc” boys, Zeke” is quite a hustler, as evidenced by the excellent work he did on THE SPHINX and the capable manner in which he con¬ ducted the Q.

The above photo might ' quite appropri¬ ately bear the word “hermit” thereon. Soli¬ tude to “Jim,” is liken only to the Teutons’ love of beer, and rare indeed is the occasion which can evoke from him more than a few terse syllables. But “out of silence oft comes an unexpected spark;” so it was with this lad when he recently sallied forth to indulge in a slight bit of “stirring ’round,” as much to his own consternation as to ours. Jim’s industry and stick-to-it-iveness have earned for him many high grades, while his help¬ fulness and unassuming airs have won the respect of those few of us who were able to encroach upon his reservedness. One of the Q. M. stoogies, he has further accredited himself by his ability to remain on the staff without acquiring a perverted outlook. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. B; Fresh. Council. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co.

Herman held his own in the way of rank until along about the middle of his Senior year, when he was sud¬ denly thrust onto the staff, which was indeed an ignominious catastrophe. However, he braced up under the strain and made an ex¬ cellent “1st Louie” for the Infantry Bat¬ talion.

Never a social occasion passes that this spry 130 lb. Romeo isn’t found in attendance with his “one and only,” and on leave days, Jimmy can always be located in the neigh¬ borhood of the old Citadel. “Tiedy” and “Gerstenberg” have been the source of much worry and trouble for “Jimmy,” but his determination and diligence have proven quite sufficient to pull him over such ob¬ stacles. His ready laugh and good natured- ness, more than offset his fiery temper, and have earned for him innumerable friends. Al¬ ways willing to back a friend to the last ditch and to stand up for what he thinks is right, “Jimmy should some day place his star on a high pedestal. ’31 -’32 Recruit, Co. E. ’32-’33 Cpl., Co.

And although one of the rank¬ ing men in school, he has throughout re¬ mained “one of the boys,” quite an accom¬ plishment.

Don’t think that Ed ' s” interests were con¬ fined to College activities, since he was al¬ ways ready to be counted in on any party that was being planned.

One has only to glance at his record to find that Don ' s accomplishments have been fully realized dur¬ ing his stay at The Citadel. In academic, social, and military circles, Mac has been a veritable satellite, and for four years he has been an important cog in the Bull ' s foot¬ ball machine. Although few of us were for¬ tunate enough to know him closely, D.

Emm Gilmore Simms McDowell, Jr. Artillery—H istory Charleston, S. C. Snozz” is the beak on light of our class, a constant reminder to us when we are gloomy that life should not be taken too seriously. A man of parts, Simms is not only very popular with the boys, but, we hear, is somewhat of a Casanoza as well. His physiognomy fairly beams with a hale, sound philosophy of taking things as they come and with a smile. And any man who can greet one of Major Karl’s quizzes with a smile has our profoundest respect, especially when he turns in consistently good papers. This is evidence of true ability which has been further indicated by the valuable work Simms has done on The Standing Hop Com¬ mittee, The Senior Ring Committee, and as Regimental Personnel Adjutant. His ability and personality will see him far as an ex¬ ecutive. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. G. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co. F; Senior Hop Comm. ’34-’3S Pers. Sgt., Maj., Reg. Staff; Pvt., Co.

A major cog on the hardwood court for four years, he further acquitted himself by piloting the baseball nine through a strenuous season. “Maggie” has found that the adamative qualities of “Gerstie” and his swabs can be shattered and though some¬ what jolted he succeeded in pushing through their fatal cordon. We have enjoyed “Mag ' s” practical joking for four years and will miss him, but we are certain that a high pedestal awaits him in the Insurance Business. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. F; Fresh.

Truly a ladies ' man he always appears with some charming young thing at all social func¬ tions. It is said that of all his experiences at The Citadel, “Jim best liked his Annis¬ ton vacation, or at least certain phases of this sojourn. As First Lieutenant, this lanky one made Company “A” an excellent officer until his “two and nothings” began to amount up and he was once more a front rank man. “Jim’s” betrothal to the medical profession should produce some day an out¬ standing doctor. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Hughes is known as the boy with the good temper. He is a veritable ray of sun¬ shine cast abroad to spread happiness. De¬ spite being of late bereft of that gruesome task known as rank (due to his own strong desire), he has helped maintain the ususa! standard of discipline by serving as a model for underclassmen to emulate. Especially is he noted among the corps for his manly posture—malcontent has steadily grown be¬ cause Colonel Lang failed to recognize his true qualities and crown his efforts with the rank of captain and adjutant. But he is a long-suffering soul and is unperturbed by chance winds of adverse fates. Recently pub¬ lished autobiographical sketches of Hughes state that he is, in addition, not one to be considered lightly in matters of the heart. Probably the most climatic moments of his college career have been those when he tripped lightly across the quadrangle and returned those cheery halloos of “Hello, Mazo de¬ livered by his fans on the galleries. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Summer camp at Fort Barancas brings many pleasant mem¬ ories to him, for he was on the go the entire six weeks.

Nelson Reuben Burton Pitts, Jr. Artillery—Engineering Artillery—Business Administration Charleston, S. C. Camden, S. C. Being the “stumpiest member of his class is by no means the only claim to fame of the gentleman pictured above. “Baby LeRoy brought with him to the institu¬ tion a pugilistic reputation worthy of one far greater in stature, and during his stay here not only convinced fight fans that he could “take it but that he was quite cap¬ able of “dishing out proportional shares on any and every occasion. Although Walter was more than able to match his boxing ac¬ complishments with his class room achieve¬ ments, his success at holding rank—for a month at a time—was unparalleled. Truly a private of the first water, but at the same time a sincere friend and worthy athlete, “Baby Face” will not only be missed by Coach Gabriel but by his many friends in the corps. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Every now and then one has the rare op¬ portunity of knowing a man who is thor¬ oughly a gentleman—in the best sense of that abused word. Such a man is Reuben, and The Senior Class is better for his cour¬ tesy and friendliness. We nominate him along with his noble machine, “Susabella,” to whatever reward comes to genuine worth. Many have accused him of being perpetu¬ ally sleepy, but having been subjected to his unexpected and ever-present sense of humor, we are inclined to call him just extremely nonchalant. He is another of the lads who has battled “figgers for four years, and with success which backs our confidence in his future attainments in business and, in¬ cidentally, in the Flying Corps. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Printu Infantry—Engineering Augusta, Ga. “Louie’ ' closely resembles the Sphinx— but behind his mantle of silence and his slow, molarfied grin there’s a brain of gar¬ gantuan proportion and clock-like precision. In short, we would say that “Louie” is quite brilliant. Evidently the gods intended to adorn his large frame with an excessive amount of weight but slipped up somewhere in the process leaving our friend only slightly burdened. Our “rat” year found him muster¬ ing enough steam to come under the wire sporting gold stars, and since then his pres¬ sure has steadily remained the same. “Fuzzy’s” pride and joy, this celebrated Staff Captain threatens some day to make us forget Thomas Edison. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

L.” didn ' t arrive at The Citadel un¬ til our Sophomore year, and then he came in such an unassuming manner that it was a long time before we knew that our class had profited by a worthy addition. Now we know him for the swell person he really is and will put our money on him anytime. He ' s as smart as a whip and without ' much study gets good grades. It was a hard job deciding whether he was nonchalant or “didn’t give a damn” or maybe just lazy, but we have decided that it is a combination of them all. No one has ever yet seen Damascus ruffled. One thing we like is his consistency—you can always rely on “Print” to be the same, and we hope that he will re¬ main that way-—-which is just another way of saying we like “D. L.” for what he is. ’33-’34 Recruit, Co. B. ’34-’35 Sgt., Co. B; Junior Platoon. ’35-’36 1st. Lt., Co. B; Senior Platoon. John Edwin Schachte Artillery—Business Administration Charleston, S. C.

Neither is he old, nor has he (yet) under¬ taken paternal cares—but perhaps his friendly countenance carries a disarming encourage¬ ment for confidences. He may be found almost any time with one ear glued to the Grey Job (honorable radio, please), accruing propa¬ ganda to be disseminated concerning your favorite or other program. A keen sense of humor and a nimble wit join with an at¬ tractive personality in making “Ed one of the most likeable lads in school. And still he insists that the angle of incidence between his feet is not gargantuan, that he does not like sauerkraut, and that his head was not shaped with a T-square. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

Being involuntarily relegated to our ranks in the beginning of the Sophomore year, this lad soon changed his tactics, became one of us, and quickly surged to the fore as chief aspirant for more sombre honors. “Jack ' s” scowling counte¬ nance and hard-boiled airs have caused many a Cadet to lose all interest in his meal, as The Sarge ' s Right Hand” suddenly de¬ scends upon him with unusual wrath demand¬ ing an explanation for some wrecked recep¬ tacle. His incompatible yearning for sleep evoked the wrath of Karl, Skipper, et al, many a morning, “Jackie” usually doing most of his recuperating in the class room. He found the simple tasks of stafF lientenancy much to his liking, and consequently had plenty of time to “bull” with “Oze,” “Dia¬ mond,” and “Tom,” his bunk mates. We don ' t know what “Jack ' s” planning to take up, but we’re confident that if he can stay awake, he’ll be darn good at it. ’32- •’33 Recr uit, Co. F; Bull Dog Staff. ’33- ■’34 Cpl., Co.

Page Sixty-seven Clif Seay Artillery—Business Administration Atlanta, Ga. “Clif” came to us fortified with the back¬ ground of having been a major in high school. Attempting to maintain this lofty beginning has caused him to commit ' many noxious deeds, but always for the sake of pure and unsmirched duty. It is rumored that his mere presence in the guard room causes the plaque bearing General Lee’s noble inscription to glean with intense brightness. He is indeed a man of mystery—many call him the silent spectator. He comes in as silently as the snow, looks about question- ingly, sits composedly, and later departs. Some say that he comes to Seay. But withal the boys show their approbation by promis¬ ing him a good time when he graduates. One of the Biz. Adm. Toilers, “Clif’’ should thrust his lean frame well up the ladder of success. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. H. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co. F. ’34-’3S Sgt., Maj., 2nd. Bn. Staff; Varsity Base¬ ball. ’ 3 5-’ 3 6 2nd.

Similarly this long-haired Georgian has for four years cleared the most difficult obstacles with equal grace and with¬ out excess effort. Coming to us from Albany, “Smitty” settled down, dug in, and made quite a record for himself, all while making a host of friends. His seriousness and know¬ ing airs haven’t hindered him the least bit, and his diligence and perseverance in his pur¬ suit of knowledge have earned the stamp of “Bub ' s” approval. Immune to the lure of night life, L. W. has spent a great many of his free moments either preparing himself for tests to come or participating in intra¬ mural events on the campus. Gold Star man, Company Captain, and trackst ' er, he has made himself useful in many ways and ' tis with saddened spirits that we see the Marines claim him. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. B; Fresh.

C. “Reverend” is one of those cool, quiet in¬ dividuals that remain unperturbed in the face of all happenings. The ravages of the Business Department moulded the “Rev” into a studious member during his Junior and Senior years and served to make him even more secluded. His ins and outs in the way of rank were climaxed with a second lieu¬ tenant in “E” Company. The only time “Rev” came out of his shell was during our sojourn at Pensacola when he did his share of stirring around. Always supplied with numerous pictures of the fairer sex we have been led to believe that this unassuming lad is the proverbial “devil in his own home town.” Vincent will make his mark in spite of his quiet ways. ’32-’33 Recruit, Co.

After a dis¬ astrous one point encounter with “Tip” in the spring of ’33, he set out with renewed vigor the next year and from that time on managed to avoid with regularity “The Dough’s unsatisfactory list. “Steve ' s” good- naturedness and affiability have made him many friends, and though never an outstand¬ ing socialite, his touch has not been entirely unknown to the multitude of “fair young things” in his own fair countree. Military rank has for some unaccountable reason avoided Richard, and with the exception of a half year’s experience as sergeant, he has been for five years simply “a good man on the pivot.” In addition to his scholastic worries under “Bub” and “Maj. John,” “Steve” burdened himself still further in his last two years by laboring as one of Sgt. Schellin’s protegees. ’31-’32 Recruit Co. E. ’32-’33 Cpl., Co. E; Glee Club. ’34-’3S Sgt., Co.

Coming to us pre-labeled “military man,’’ Rhett soon demonstrated his profi¬ ciency on the drill field, and likewise, his capability in lighter indulgencies. Innately a “ladies’ man” this Albamaian has caused many a thrill to course through the hearts of those possessing a weakness for big blue eyes. Indeed, Rhett has almost totally neg¬ lected his campus work for the sake of wider activity among the elite, and the many “throphies” decorating his press these four years bear mute testimony to the ability of our William. Always on the go—generally to Rock Hill or to Folly he has little taste for things academic or for extra-curricular activities, but his ready smile and politeness have earned him many friends. If we were to epilogize we would offer the following as a fitting tribute to Rhett—“He came, she saw, he conquered.” ’32-’33 Recruit, Co. D; Fresh. Rifle Team; Fresh. Football. ’33-’34 Cpl., Co.

Joining us in our Sophomore year he has proved to be an ally of true caliber. Always possessed with a broad grin, “Stumpy” has never been known to seem unhappy or to bear ill against any¬ one. More than his share of joshing has been accepted in good spirit. His main difficulty in life seems to have been keeping step with the Business Section, a fault which was not in the least reflected in his grades. Proprietor and Professor of “Zeke’s” Pool Parlor No. 2, “Stump” became indominable on the cush¬ ioned table and not many nickles were lost by the h ouse.

Ernest bears the nomme de guerre of “Top.” This we understand was originally derived from his beautiful titian locks, but we are of the opinion that this might well be applied to his position in our class. Rarely does one find a man as versatile. Com¬ pany Commander, gold star man, leader in discussion groups, writer, golfer, and withal an excellent fellow well liked by all the boys, to mention only the more important of his accomplishments, stand in evidence of the ability which has and will carry him far. “Top” has twice been the school ' s candidate for the Rhodes Scholarship, and is going on into graduate work, in which field he is sure to be outstanding.

He’s honest, and if you ask for an opinion, you’ll get it straight from the shoulder. Not brilliant but steady and dependable, he has made good in his studies and stands high in his military. We’ve never been able to de¬ cide exactly what it was, but “Lindsay” has a way—or perhaps several ways—with the women, but it seems that he is consistent even in his affections. He’ll be married soon to the beautiful brunette whose picture he has in his press. “Lindy” believes firmly in wearing his blouse on Sunday leave—for Sunday nights are long and lonesome.

Ralph is one of the most bril¬ liant men of our class and a gold star man. Well-read and having a practical knowledge of many things, he always has something in¬ telligent and worthwhile to contribute to any “bull-session,” Round Table or otherwise. “Hell on the freshmen,” they nevertheless respect and admire him, and he is conse¬ quently able to get the most out of them.

But we’ve got a feel¬ ing that he must be good, his work has won the Forum Prize of the Poetry Society of South Carolina and has taken top honors in statewide college competition. His pen has a special penchant for pricking holes in tin soldiers, a pastime from which he gets quite a bit of private joy. They say that he gath¬ ered material no end down at McClelland and that he had acquired as well the handle of “Pinky” and an understanding of the finer things in life. There he enjoyed pure uninhibited expression of his fluent emo¬ tions. Poetry from such experiences must be interesting. We are looking forward to picking up the Saturday Review some day, seeing Bob’s name on the mast head, and reading in poetry we can understand of those nights at Anniston.

To hear ”R.

If silence be golden, then ”T. D.” is worth thirty-two dollars an ounce; thus he has been for four years. Quiet and reserved, he is a hard man to know but a staunch and valuable friend once one has pried him from his outer shell. If we were to revise the Senior Statistics, we would most assuredly tab this Cracker the most mystifying. His actions on the rifle range, however, are not the least whit mystifying, for he is one of the best shots in school. “Gerstenberg” and his cohort ' s have been the source of much worry for ”T.

He has a not- strange propensity for managing things—he is a business man to the core and has fought the good fight with Gerstenberg on the side. His true qualities were not recognized in military circles until well into his Junior year, but since then his efforts of lang stand¬ ing were crowned when he plucked off the diamond of success.

Page SeVenty-fioe Biography Class ’36 On a bright sunny morning in September long ago, 1932 to be exact, a motley group of inflated high school seniors swaggered through the iron gates of The Citadel, on across the spacious court that is the quadrangle, naively un¬ aware that their freedom was but a mere moment of short-lived glory. With military curtness, they were directed to the registrar; in long restless lines they waited before the quartermaster’s office; then back to the Commandant for assignments, and finally up the spiral stairs to the nakedness of a bare Citadel room. The queer crate contraptions were puzzling; heavy iron-grill windows were distastefully annoying; the cold black cots irritatingly reminded one of sinking Simmons springs back home. How did anyone live in a joint like this —bells ringing, horns blowing, men yelling, everything utterly bewildering. An epidemic of bitter home-sickness ate at our hearts as we diligently endeavored to adjust ourselves. Carefully we thumbed the mighty B lue Book; cautiously we ventured forth on the “porches” amidst the reproaches and threats of the upperclassmen. Slowly time slipped by as we were moulded into soldiers. Every afternoon found us, as during drill periods, on the parade ground striving clumsily to master “squads right” and “right shoulder arms.” Saturdays were days of travel; quickly we learned the significance of touring the quad counting and recounting the colored square blocks. Training period over, we split into Infantry and Artillery units and were conglomerately mixed with the dreaded upperclassmen. November gave us our debut before the public in our first parade. In the blackness of one bitter winter night we were instructed in the tactics of defending ash-cans from merci¬ less deaths upon the quadrangle and for hours we walked and froze our feet in their behalf. Christmas furlough came quickly and ended more quickly bringing with it the painful realization th at the semester exams were upon us. Eventually, the weather grew warm; proudly we donned our brass-button coats and milk-pail hats for full dress parades. Came Folly season and the corps moved to the beach every week-end for relaxation, moonlight, and—er— well, romance. More and more we were becoming seasoned kadets; gradually acquiring the mannerisms of the men above us. Time, fleeting past more quickly, paused long enough to inject us with springus fevorus, and we suc¬ cumbed. Over to Folly for the Picnic Hop. we enjoyed ourselves so much that we were two weeks recuperating. Spring holidays came and went like a breeze, and we found ourselves, for the first time in the clutches of the dreaded terror, federal inspection. A few squad rights maneuvered us through this, and as the year rapidly closed, we eagerly anticipated discarding our “sirs” and “misters” and becoming one of the uppers. A cyclonic turmoil en gulfed us late in May with exams, parades, more exams, drills, parades, dances, final dress parade, commencement, and then peace and vacation. September of ’33 we returned, less in number, but ostentatiously aware that we were now wise and learned Sophomores. With glaring memories, we reaped our revenge on the bewildered “rats.” Gloriously we reveled in the eminence of our position; at least we did so until the Seniors took us in hand and forbade us the right of running the institution. The year began with a new Commandant, Colonel Jesse Gaston, who had replaced the Big Stick; needless to say, we exerted our best efforts to put something over on “the Dough.” Early in October the corps was saddened by the death of Colonel O. J. Bond, a man whom everyone respected as a scholar and loved as a friend; he was a man of quiet brilliance and humble superiority, and his passing was a tremendous loss to The Citadel. October brought the annual gridiron clashes with trips to Orangeburg and Augusta for the corps. The Christmas Hop came and with it the holidays. Page Seventy-six Then cramming for mid-year exams, Folly season, and the Senior Hop with Art Kassel and his “Kassels in the Air” band to tickle our toes. Spring holi¬ days loomed before us and were gone. Constant drill for federal inspection gave us the usual excellent rating for the school. Newsreel companies sent their photographers to catch our capers on gelatin, and we strained our necks to get in the pictures that the home-towners would see. In weather hot as Hades, we sweated through exams, graduation parades, dances, and commencement for our second time. We had hit the halfway mark. A brief moment of a vacation and we were back in September flaunting 2’s on our collars. We found, however, that our positions carried with them far more responsibility, as well as numerous seven and twenty-fives from the moun¬ taineer, whom we had met with regret back in our “rat” days. Sallyport watches were initiated to annoy us. A flurry of firecrackers just before Christ¬ mas furlough almost resulted in restriction. Exams, Spring, Folly, Senior Hop, and Commencement eased stealthily past us and June 1st found us eagerly anticipating camp. The Infantry of us set forth for Anniston, Alabama, while the Artillery invaded the sunny tropics of Florida at Pensacola. For six weeks then we worked—struggling to keep up the pace at night and to stay awake by day. Gun, rifle, pistol, and machine gun firing were all tedious and exhaust¬ ing jobs, but we preserved ourselves with the best of spirits. If nothing else, we did teach the rest of the boys just what constitutes an expert technique in gold- bricking. Who of us will ever forget the early morning calisthenics and the farcical Saturday morning inspections. A great six weeks it was that ended long too soon. September brought us to the beginning of the end—our Senior year. With patient fortitude we undertook the task of orienting the “rats”—of drilling into them the military fundamentals which had been so essentially a part of our life during three years of kadetship. The task was a wearisome one, but with “Gene’s” aid and six weeks of constant tutelage we transformed them into mediocre products for consumption among the upperclassmen. With Shu Mate Choo, Slinking Sam, and a slew of faculty officers ever in our midst, it ap¬ peared that the year would be a quiet one; however, the infantry ventured in the silence of one night to blast the monotony with a few dynamite caps and because of their rashness, these “guttersnipes” took to quadrangle drills. Seniors as we were, we trucked up to Columbia for the State Fair—a cold, rainy day. Then to Greenville to see the Bull Dogs licked by Furman in a dis¬ heartening game. November brought Homecoming and Parents ' Day—oppor¬ tunities for the cadets to shine forth for the homefolks in their gun drills, wall¬ scaling, and parades. With the Thanksgiving Hop came the first Senior Grand March for us mighty ones. Jimmy Poyner dropped in to syncopate for the Christmas Hop. Holidays came with one grand whirl of Citadel Club dances, and the boys came back to jail in January to recuperate. Exam week reared its head before us and we shuddered as we skimmed through. Early in Febru¬ ary occurred the “cold” epidemic, and for two week-ends we did our courting via telephone while within barracks we vehemently denounced the medical profession. As a climax to the “cold” restriction came the trash-can catas¬ trophe which incited the altruism of the Senior class to investigate the mystery. Tommy Tucker, for the Senior Hop, lent his rhythm; Jim Fettis played a return engagement at the Spring Hop. Term papers began to pile up on our hands, and we realized that our Citadel career was nearing its end. Final parade was a sad occasion: graduation was sadder. We had lost over half our original number. Hard-hearted as we were, we hated to leave; grey uniforms, stone walls, bare rooms, bugles, rifles, and inspections, had grown into our life; they were parts of our being, integral factors in the moulding of charac¬ ters. Indelibly stamped upon our soul there shall ever remain these four years—-deep within our memory. —Ed. Lowman, ’36. Page Seventy-seven iiUiiir W. A. Carr Neatest E. C. Bigoer Sleepiest J. H.

Col. Ralph C. Holliday Major Arthur P. McGee The Infantry Unit j When The Citadel was founded in 1842, there was no R. O. T. C., no Morril Act which established military training in land-grant colleges. At that time the military training con¬ sisted only of basic Infantry drill. Since its inception the R. O. T. C. unit at The Citadel has come to be recognized as one of the most outstanding units in the whole country. At present the Infantry Unit is under the able supervision of Lt. Colonel Ralph C. Holli¬ day. His assistants are Major Arthur P. McGee and Captain George C. Stewart. The following courses are taken by the members of the Infantry Unit during their four years: Drill and Command. Rifle Marksmanship, Automatic Rifle, Machine Gun, Sanitation, First Aid, Map Reading, Scouting and Patrolling, Musketry, Map Sketching, Field Engineering, Howitzer, Company Weapons, Tactics and Technique, Infantry Weapons, Methods of In¬ struction, Military History and Law, Administration, Pistol Marksmanship, and Orientation for the Reserve Commission. Upon completion of this comprehensive four-year course, cadets receive commissions as second lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps. At the close of the session in June of each year, Juniors in the Infantry Unit of the R. O. T. C. attend the Government Camp at Anniston, Alabama. They go through theo¬ retical and practical training there for a period of six weeks. At the Annual Government Inspection last May the Infantry Unit received a rating of 94.3%. The Federal Inspector commented highly on, “Discipline, set-up, promptness, general military tone, seriousness with which the work is accepted and close order drill.” This is a rating which reflects credit upon the Infantry Unit, and one which the members of that Unit may well be proud. Page One Hundred Six Capt. Patrick Col. Villaret Capt. Dingeman The Artillery Unit The Coast Artillery Unit is a more recent one than its complement The Infantry. It is one of twenty-one in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and is composed of Companies D, E, F, and the Artillery Staff. In its comparatively short existence it has attained a high degree of excellence by its high morale, superiority of military training, of efficiency and excellent appearance. Lt. Colonel Eugene Villaret is in charge of the Unit, with Captains Ray E. Dingeman and George A. Patrick, as his assistants. The course given to R. O. T. C. members is broad and comprehensive in both scope and detail. Freshman and Sophomore years are concerned chiefly with a basic course in the prac¬ tical aspects of gunnery. The advanced course, taken during the Junior and Senior years is concerned with theoretical problems. The basic course qualifies the cadet to be a non-com¬ missioned officer, and successful completion of the advanced course gives him a commission as second lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps. In order to supplement the training received during the college year and receive training and experience in practical artillery work. Junior class members of the R. O. T. C. attend a summer camp for six weeks, usually at Fort Barrancas, Fla. The Citadel is well equipped for Artillery instruction having a plotting room, fire con¬ trol instruments, two 155 mm. G. P. F. guns, two 75 mm. anti-aircraft guns and the neces¬ sary facilities for observation and communication. Page One Hundred Seven Cadet Colonel A. L.

M Page One Hundred Thirteen Leonard Thorpe Britt Richardson Rifles The exhibition drill company, composed of two platoons each of which represents one of the two upper classes, is named Richardson Rifles in memory of Governor James Richardson. Bond Volunteers, so designated as an overt expression of the deep love and devotion with which the memory of the late Colonel Oliver J. Bond, former Dean and President of the Citadel, is held, is made up of members of the Junior Class. Summerall Guards, honoring General Charles Pelot Summerall, now President of the Citadel, is composed of mem¬ bers of the Senior Class. A rigid selection from the two classes for the best drilled men is made, thereby making it a distinct honor to be a member of the unit. The honor of commanding the company was bestowed upon Cadet Captain James Earnest Thorpe, Jr., of Aiken, S. C., who gained this rich reward by virtue of his proficiency in drill. The distinction of commanding the Sum¬ merall Guards went to Cadet Colonel Allen L. Leonard of Los Angeles, Cali¬ fornia, and the command of the Bond Volunteers was awarded to Cadet Cap¬ tain Wade H. Britt of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Citadel Series, which includes complicated squad movements, flank by rank formations, a silent manual, German squad movements, and a criss-cross maneuver, all done silently with snap and precision, was presented during the halves of football games with Carolina at Orangeburg, Davidson at Davidson, and Erskine at Charleston. At all of these places the exhibition platoons received unlimited praise for the excellence of the performance. Page One Hundred Fourteen Summerall Guards McCRACKIN . Leading Guide MORRAH .

Assistant Freshman Manager i A Erskine Stopped for No Gain CITADEL 18—ERSKINE 0 With a display of vicious tackling, hard blocking, and spectacular runs, the 1935 grid edition of the Bulldogs went into action against the Flying Fleet from Due West. Citadel s superiority was early evi¬ denced by the huge amount of yardage piled up by the light but hard running backs and the fact that the Seceeders were losing more ground than they were able to gain. Taking advantage of a blocked punt from behind the goal line in the second quarter, the Cadets scored in three thrusts. Ed and Andy Hall were standouts for the Blue and White, the former punting well, driving hard, and contributing some neat blocking while the flankmen of both outfits, Manly and Pierce for Citadel, and Gettys and Mann for Ers¬ kine, displayed fine all-round play, getting down under punts exceptionally well and continually break¬ ing up the interference to nab the ball carrier. I he machine-like precision and co-ordination displayed by the Bulldogs in their opening contest was indicative of a powerful November Cadet eleven. Hall’s Kick from Behind Goal Good CITADEL 20—WOFFORD 7 In defeating Wofford 20-7 The Citadel played one of its best games of the season. With a smooth co¬ ordinated attack the Bulldogs scored quickly and easily twice in the first hlaf, while the Wofford offense could get nowhere against an invincible Blue and White forward wall. The only serious threats the Terriers made in the first frame were when Hawes, hard running Terrier back returned the kickoff after the first Citadel touchdown to midfield, almost getting clear, and when flat and short line passes brought the Meth¬ odists to the shadow of the goal line where the whistle stopped the threat. In the second half Wofford’s offense grew stronger and the upstate lads scored late in the quarter on a flat pass. The Bulldogs then came to life and made repeated thrusts into the Terrier’s territory, the climax coming when McCredie returned a punt 50 yards to register the last Citadel tally and stow the game away. It was in this period, too, that Ferguson broke into the open on a line sneak and smashed 40 yards to score, but a penalty for clipping brought the touchdown back. McCredie, Ed Hall, Archie Jenkins and Mac Lowe led the Citadel attack, with Cecil Hawes and Bru” Anderson carrying the brunt of the Wofford offensive. f I 0 In i J Ford, Back Townsend, End i Derrenbacker, U. S. C., Gains Five Yards Through Tackle CITADEL 0—CAROLINA 25 With all indications pointing to victory, the Citadel Bulldogs entered its annual game with Carolina at Orangeburg a pre-game favorite for the first 1 time in a number of years. But an inspired Gamecock machine that gathered momentum as the game progressed, kicked over the dope bucket and decisively defeated the Bucs ' ' 25-0. The Citadel seemed superior in all departments of play but lacked co-ordination and a final scoring punch. On the first play of the game, McCredie returned the kickoff 65 yards down the sidelines, being caught from behind by the last Carolina man. The Blue and White machine seemed headed for a certain score as they drove on down the field to the 10-yard line. But the effort was lost as King dropped a pass in the end zone with no one near him. This seemed to break the team’s spirit completely, and without doubt, had they scored then, the outcome would have been a different story. Only once more did the Bucs” threaten, that being late in the third quarter, but their sustained drive failed in the very shadow of the goal line. The brilliant Clary led the Carolina touchdown parade, scoring their initial marker in the first half, and igniting the fireworks that enabled them to push across three more counters in the last frame. For The Citadel, McCredie, and Andy Hall turned in stellar performances in the backfield while Jenkins and Pearce performed well in the line. Coach Gressette used a galaxy of substitutes in an effort to instill some life in his team, but all to no avail. I King, End C. Croft, Back ' i Ed Hall Gets Eighteen Yards at Left End CITADEL 7—DAVIDSON 7 Under perfect playing conditions a light ' but scrappy band of Bucks tied a traditional rival—David¬ son to spoil a perfect Wildcat Homecoming before an enthusiastic crowd of 5,000 fans. As expected, the punting duel between Pittman, Davidson flash, and Ed Hall of the Bulldogs was a feature of the contest, while McCreadie ' s broken field maneuvers proved a constant threat to the Calvinists’ defense. The most spectacular and well executed play of the contest was a 65-yard touchdown jaunt for a Blue and White score contributed by Ed Hall early in the second quarter. Scythe like blocking enabled the hard driving half to cross the goal line untouched. The Wildcats tied the count in the same stanza just before the whistle, when two long runs and a short pass placed them on the Cadet five-yard line from whence they went over. Miller, Lowe, and Manly were the Citadel highlights in the forward line, and tackled with such vehemence that the Maroon-dad clan fumbled repeatedly. The light Cadet eleven, suffering from injuries sustained in the Carolina fracas, was further weakened by the loss of Croswell Croft who received a shoulder injury re¬ moving him for the remainder of the season. PARKS, Guard Keith, End I Kick for Goal Good Against Seceeders CITADEL 0—FURMAN 3 5 The score of this game is deceiving, suggestive of a one way track meet. But not so was it in fact. The Bull Dogs, realizing that they were up against the ponderous Purple Paladins, with the odds against them, decided to play for all or none. The first half was all Citadel; the huge Furman lineman were be¬ wildered at the handling their smaller opponents gave them; the fleet backs became more and more un¬ certain as they hit a line that again and again refused to give. But such going was tough for the Bull Dogs. Though they had completely stopped the powerful Baptist ball carriers and had slashed their line for gain after gain, they weakened as the half neared, and just before the closing whistle, Furman put over a sudden score. In the last half, the Kaydets, exhausted by the superior power of the Purple Hurricane, took to the air, but the Furman secondary took our passes again and again to put themselves into scoring position, where they opened up their offense. The line play of Manly and Jenkins, however, was excellent— They could not be moved and put a powerful shoulder into many of the spinners and end around plays of fast Furman backs. Ferguson and Andy Hall were our luminaries in the backfield, and of course Ed Hall was on hand with his customarily excellent punting, although playing with his left arm in a steel brace. The Blue and White lost, but gloriously, and because we like to see a team that is game and fighting to the last, we enjoyed this fracas immensely. WARD, Guard . SPEIGNER, Back McCredie ' s Pass to Pearce Good for Eight Yards CITADEL 20—NEWBERRY 0 The Citadel Bull Dogs proved their mettle the afternoon they encountered the Indians from Newberry College. The Blue and White team was clicking that day, and fast football was the inevitable result. The sixty minutes of play were punctuated with brilliant runs by Robinson, who started the Bulldogs’ first drive for a score by returning a punt for 3 5 yards; by Ferguson, who carried the pigskin through the line when the going was tough; and by McCredie who whipped around ends on spectacular ground-gaining plays. Ed Hall punted superbly, and, as we remember, Mac Lowe spent half the afternoon in the Indians’ backfield. The game showed up the individual capabilities of several men; demonstrated as well that these men could work together as a smoothly functioning machine. Good coaching was coming to the fore¬ ground. Although the score was very unequal, the contest was not a one-sided affair. All through the game, Newberry kept plugging away with a determined offensive. Beck, an elusive back, being a constant threat to The Citadel’s defense. As the game neared its close, a fumble gave the Indians an opportunity to score, but after driving forty-five yards in successive plays, they were stopped on our three-yard line by a final whistle. Outstanding in victory was the play of the entire team, which functioned well as a unit, and the brilliant, live play of Lowe, Smith, and King. McNeill, Back LEMPSIS, Guard Ferguson Skirts Left End for Eight Yards CITADEL 0—CLEMSON 6 On the day the “Bucs” met Clemson, the Corps marched to Johnson Hagood Stadium behind a band that was trying to play confidently “Good-bye, Carolina.” Hopes for victory were almost infinitesimal— in fact, comparative scores gave the Bengals a fifty-point margin on the Bull Dogs. Throughout the colorful, flag raising ceremony which preceded the game, the Cadets anticipated gloomily a track meet. The first whistle blew, and they suddenly began to feel differently. Manly cracked a ball carrier, and McCredie began slipping around the ends for neat gains. Toward the end of the second period, how¬ ever, after being stopped “cold,” The Tigers through the fleet efforts of their dimunitive star, Lawson, managed to slip over a counter f rom the 12-yard line. The half ended, the score standing 6-0, Clem¬ son. but the Junglemen were not near as ferocious as they had first appeared, nor as confident of their prowess. In the third quarter, their offensive attack was completely frustrated. Rogers and Lowe made the middle of the Cadet line impenetrable; Don McCree was giving the best performance of end play wit¬ nessed in many years, and Jenkins and Smith were dropping orange-clad ball carriers with regularity. The Blue and White backfield—McCredie. Ferguson, Ed and Andy Hall—opened up in the closing moments of play, driving and slashing to the Clemson three-yard line, where the Tigers luckily intercepted a pass to end the threat—and the best game seen here in three years! Robinson, Back BESINGER, End CITADEL 1 8-—PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE 7 The Citadel closed its “ ’35” season with a decisive victory over a stubborn P. C. eleven, 18-7. The game was hard fought throughout, but the Cadets ' superior blocking and teamwork brought them victory. At the beginning of the contest, the Bucs” were much stronger than their opponents and by straight football pushed across two scores in the first half before the Blue Stockings could score. But taking to the air, the Hoseman managed a score just before the end of the half. In the last stanza, Citadel held a marked edge and scored again, but P. C. was a constant threat with its short aerial game, one time pass¬ ing to within two yards of the pay-off land. Most of the game was played in the Presbyterians’ territory as they attempted to stem the Blue and White touchdown tide. P. C. weakened noticeably in its offensive toward the finish, and the game ended with the air being filled with their wild heaves in a vain attempt to score. Captain Lowe, Arthur Ferguson, Don McCree and Ed Croft, playing their last game for The Citadel turned in brilliant performances, while Claude McCredie, Archie Jenkins, Ed and Andy Hall, and Chester Smith played stellar ball.

Freshman Football With the advent of an unusually large freshman class, The Citadel was again favored with a “rat” team that performed excellently and compiled an enviable record. The ’35 Bullpup edition, although smaller in numbers than last year’s championship squad, was composed entirely of men possessing all the potentialities of first-rate athletes, and should prove of infinitesimal value to the 1936 varsity machine. After several weeks of strenuous training under Coach George Stewart, the Pups sallied forth and completely subjected a weak Erskine freshman outfit, the count being 28-0. A luckless band of Wofford first-year men met with similarily disastrous results when invading Charleston, they encountered a smooth, powerful Cadet eleven, and departed on the short end of a 19-0 score. P. C.’s reputedly formidable plebe aggregation was the next Pup victim, succumbing after a staunch resistance, 28-6. However, the Blue Hosemen enjoyed the honor of being the first team to cross the “rat’s” goal line. Newberry’s small outfit proved no match for Smith-Sabados, et al. and fell before a vicious onslaught, 25-0. With dubious expectancy the undefeated Pups journeyed to Columbia to take on a Carolina first-year team reputedly the best the institution had boasted in ten years. Suffering from injuries and lack of replacements, the hard fighting “Bucs” thrust over a score early in the initial frame, and for three and one half quarters throw up a vise¬ like resistance to completely thwart the best Carolina could offer. The injured leg of “Chet” Smith finally gave way, however, and the Biddies capitalized on a blocked punt to ease over a score. Intercepting a pass they managed to counter again, and in the last three minutes of play slipped away from the grasp of a tiring band of Cadets to push over another marker, making the final count 18-7. The work of Steve Sabados at center rivaled the best efforts of Billy Symmes, and time and time again he slapped down the ponderous Biddie backs to prevent a score. Outstanding on the squad was the work of Smith, Sabados, Harshbarger, Odom, Southard, David, Eicholz, Gee, Holmes, Howie, Farmer, Maxwell and several other ranking men. The entire team played well as a unit and will prove a great asset to next year’s varsity squad. ' . BASKETBALL A. W. Norman Coach J. C. Hare, Jr. Manager Page One Hundred Fifty-four Miss Eleanor King Sponor Resume of Season The past basketball season saw The Citadel represented by its best court aggregation n four years. Although the Bulldogs finished fifth in the percentage column of the State race, they lost only five contests and were prevented from attaining a higher rating due to the fact that just twelve college games were played. The excellent brand of ball displayed by the Cadet quintet throughout the season is evidenced by the fact that every game except one was undecided until the last few minutes of play, and in only once case was the margin of victory greater than seven points. The beginning of the season ushered in a new coaching regime with Red” Smith assum¬ ing the temporary duties of head court mentor. He was replaced after the season opened by the newly appointed basketball coach, A. W. Rock” Norman, who took over the reins and Page One Hundred Fifty-five McGee, Co-Captain Forward Morrah, Co-Captain Forward 4 Dibble Guard Walker Guard directed the team for the remainder of the schedule. Full credit is due both coaches, for the no¬ ticeable improvement in all-round play exhibited by the 1 935 outfit. Combining a fast break¬ ing, sweeping offensive style with a man-to-man defense, the team produced the type of basketball that not only appealed to the fans but brought good results as well. Paced by Co-Captains Bradley Morrah and Harold McGee, who were finishing their fourth year as regulars under Blue and White colors, the small but speedy Cadet five administered two defeats to Newberry and P. C., and won once from Myrtle Beach, Platt’s “Red Devils,” Furman, Erskine, and the College of Charleston. The play of Frank McNeill, all-state Sophomore guard, and Johnnie Walker, his running mate, was outstanding, while Archie Jenkins coverted to center from guard, also played well. A serious handicap was the loss of the squad’s two centers. Andy Hall, an excellent performer for two years, dropped out 1 of school in mid-season, while Lyman Eddy, brilliant Sophomore prospect upon whom much was being depended, was stricken ill after the fourth game and lost for the remainder of the schedule. The absence of these two men greatly lessened the team’s potential strength, and no doubt did much to prevent the Bulldogs from finishing higher in the state race. Inaugerating the home season with wins over Erskine, Presbyerian, and the College of Charleston, while dropping one to Wofford, the Cadets then took a disastrous trip north where they met defeat three times. After leading for four-fifths of the game with Furman, the Blues dropped behind and lost the first game 40-3 3. Wofford next handed the Bulldogs their second defeat in as many nights by ekeing out a 40-39 win, in a rough, fast, hair-raising encounter. Journeying on to Columbia, a tired, listless Citadel quintet was soundly trounced by a “hot” Carolina outfit 54-18. Page One Hundred Fifty-six McNeill Guard , - Jenkins Center Manly Forward Hai.tiwanger Center Meddin Forwa rd Returning to Charleston, the Bulldogs rested for four days and then again went north, where they defeated Newberry and P. C. but lost a close contest to Erskine on the latter’s small court. The next Blue and White foe was Furman at Charleston, and the Cadets brought their season to a close by smashing out a win over the Hurricane 39-37. The season was unexpectedly cut short by the forced postponement of the annual College of Charleston-Citadel series for the championship of the city. This was a blow to the Blue and White forces, who expected to materially better their state standing with a triumph over the Maroons.

Norman, the 1 935 rat” court edition ac¬ quitted itself nobly and came within an ace of winning the Scholastic League Championship, finally ending in runner-up position. Most of the squad was composed of small, speedy, accurate shooting men, but it was also blessed with several rangy freshmen who handled the tip and controlled play around the baskets. The Pups weren ' t quite able to match the calm, certain playing of last ' season’s A-l outfit but won a name for themselves for their teamwork, speed, and goal-shooting ability. Gilbert and Holt, the guards, worked exceptionally well, the latter especially being proficient in guarding and working the ball in. Wilson, slender center, was adept at slapping the ball in from under the hoop, while the two forwards, Propst and Bunch, rounded out a smooth working five. The Pups made themselves indispensable in whipping the varsity into shape, furnishing the desired amount of competition and combativeness, while at ' the same time picking up funda¬ mentals and team play from the instruction being received from their older brothers. Their play in the city loop was highly commendable, and except for two off nights,” proved to be the best of the outfits represented. However, Charleston High nosed them out in the final week of com¬ petition to cop the honors.

Composed generally of Seniors and Sophomores, the Bulldogs presented a well-balanced team of smart, aggres¬ sive fighters that only lost one close match in five engagements and tied with Clemson for the State Championship. Captain Wade Britt led his team in brilliant style, remaining undefeated during the season, while Alternate-Captain Dave Dillard, though absent part of the time, likewise subdued all opponents. In their initial fight of the year the boys got off to a bad start by losing to Florida at Gainesville 3-5. Britt, Dillard, and Lempesis turned in the Blue and White victories—Dillard by the knockout route. The team redeemed itself in magnificent fashion in its next meet, handily defeating the University of Tennessee in a one-sided match 7-1. All of the Citadel sluggers turned in excellent performances. Padgett, fighting with tem¬ perature and hardly recovered from an attack of “flu” was the only boxer to lose. In one of the best collegiate boxing matches in Southern ring competition, the Citadel scored a surprise win over the University of Miami 5-3 at Charleston. Returning from an extended northern tour that included a victory over the West Point Cadets, the Miami boys were no match for the strong, fresh Bulldogs. Cap¬ tain Wade Britt and Pete Lempesis put up superb exhibitions to earn draws with Tobias and Leonard, two undefeated Miami fighters. “Rip” Todd, Sophomore, Page One Hundred Sixty-one Britt Welterweight Dillard Featherweight Hughes Bantamweight Todd Junior Middleweight fighting in his first collegiate match scored a decisive knockout. Hughes and Deas also turned in victories, the former by a technical K. O., Castellow, light- heavyweight fighting in the heavyweight division, spotted his man twenty pounds and lost by decision only after a very close fight. Two bouts had to be forfeited, one for Miami and one for The Citadel. For the first time since the revival of boxing at The Citadel, the Bulldogs defeated their arch rivals, the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was a decisive victory 5Yi -2Yi • Padgett, Britt, Todd, and Castellow smashed out in wins, while Nelson earned a draw with his “jinx” opponent, Capt. Taylor of Caro- lina. The unlimited bout was forfeited to the Cadets. ' v Nelson vs. Taylor Page One Hundred Sixty-two Lempesis Senior Middlezveight Townsend Junior Middleweight Padgett Lightweight Castellow Light-Heavyweight Rogers Heavyweight In their last fight of the season, the pugs pounded out a 5-3 decision over the strong N. C. State team at Raleigh. Hughes, Todd, and Britt won on tech¬ nical knockouts, with Nelson and Rogers gaining decisions. The team was undefeated in the State and along with Clemson is the co¬ holder of the 1936 Palmetto boxing title.

McGee, Sponsor McGee Left Field Baseball Prospects The opening of the 1936 state collegiate baseball season will find The Citadel making its debut in the Palmetto League, which this year includes Newberry, Clemson, Erskine, P. C. and Carolina. Last Spring saw the Blue and White represented on the diamond for the first time in several years, baseball having been dropped from the institution’s athletic itinerary in 1932. Only four college games were played by the new cadet nine, but some excellent material was uncovered, a foundation laid, and preparation made to officially enter The Citadel in the 1 936 intercollegiate race. This year’s squad is under the capable tutelage of Coach Herman “Red” Smith, former Furman star, who inaugurated regular practice early in March. Since then some twenty candidates have been working out each afternoon at Stoney field in preparation for the first game, April 2. From all indications the new Bull Dog aggregation will prove a tough opponent for other state teams. More than half of the men out for berths are experienced ball players, having been members of fast textile or strong independent outfits, and possess a thorough knowledge of the game. Head- ing the list is Captain “Maggie’’ McGee, who held down second on last year’s nine, and Alternate Captain Henry Winn. Other starters are Jenkins, Ed. Hall, McCredie, McTureous, Spencer, Owen, and Speigner, while in reserve will be Rhame, McNeill, Helfeers, and Miller. Bessinger and Thompson will bear the brunt of the mound work, with Speigner and Winn supporting. 1936 SCHEDULE Mar. 30—Mars Hill College (here). Mar. 31—Same. Apr. 2—Presbyterian College (here).

The sport was resumed at the institution last Spring after a lapse of several years, and under the tutelage of Coach Charlie Willard the small Blue and White force ac¬ quitted itself well, collecting several points in the State meet at Clinton. This year the squad is being handled by Coach A. W. Norman, an outstanding figure in Southern track circles, and under his critical eye the team is progressing rapidly. The new track is in much better shape than in 1 935, the 220-yd. straight-away being in excellent condition, and should prove a great help in putting out a successful team. Lost to the squad are Elmer Wellons, sprint star who failed to return to school, and Jervey Dupre, last year’s Captain, but from the form dis- played by candidates in early practice, both the dashes and the distances will be well taken care of. Regular work began near the first of March, and since then approximately twenty-four aspirants have been working each afternoon in preparation for their first meet against Wofford on April 4. Captain J. C. Hare, who vaulted well over 12 feet last year, and Alternate Captain Ralph Ford, in the hurdles, are sure point-getters, and head such a formidable array of track talent as Morrah, Keith, Manning, Smith, L. W., Wadsworth, McBee, Aston, Croft, E., Therrill, Wads¬ worth, Brooks, C. M., Jones, A., Morton, J., Whitmire, Taber and Meng. SCHEDULE Apr. 18—Wofford College (here). Apr. 25—Carolina (there). May 1-2—State Meet (Clinton). Ford Alternate Captain Hurdles Wortham Dibble Captain Miss Elizabeth Holliday Sponsor Tennis The varsity tennis team coached by Major Marion S. Lewis begins the season this year with very bright prospects. Four lettermcn, Wortham Dibble, John Holliday, Donald Dial, and Perry Earle are back from last year ' s fine team. At a meeting of the squad early in the season, Wortham Dibble of Orangeburg, South Carolina, was elected captain. Dibble, the leading player in the state, should, as a player and guide, form a nucleus around which a strong team can be built. After a desultory start last spring, the team won two matches from Presbyterian College by the score 5-2 on both occasions, lost once to Furman 2-5, and was rained out in matches with Furman and Clemson. At the State Intercollegiate Tournament held at Clemson, Citadel ' s number one man, Wortham Dibble captured the State Intercollegiate Singles Crown. I he courts are in excellent shape, having been thoroughly conditioned in the early spring. A tentative schedule of eight matches has been arranged including the teams of Carolina. Presby¬ terian, Erskine, and Furman Universities. The season will close with the usual participation in the State Tournament to be held at Carolina in Columbia on May 7, an event at which the Blue and White was so excellently represented last year. Earle Walker Kilgore Dibble Dial Marshall Sims Holliday Coach Lewis Page One Hundred Seventy A. H. Ferguson Captain Miss Bettie Blitch Sponsor The Rifle Team Meeting just before Christmas, members of last year ' s rifle team elected Cadet Ferguson as Captain and Cadet McCown as Manager. Tentative plans were also made for building this year ' s team from the large number of prospective candidates. Because of the illness of Captain Stewart, the team coach, the team made a rather slow start after the holidays. Under the combined efforts of Major McGee and Col. Holliday, however, firing was begun in order to pick the members of the new fifteen-man team. This work was interrupted twice by two shoulder-to-shoulder matches, one with the Navy Yard Marines and the other with a Marine Team from Parris Island. The time for firing both of these matches being very short, scores were shot in only two positions, prone and standing. The Citadel, firing a temporarily picked team, was defeated in both matches. As soon as the new team had been selected, it begin firing in the Fourth Corps Area Match, a four position match fired on the regular fifty-foot indoor range. Now that the match has been completed, the team is doing practice firing in order to drill the members in the funda¬ mentals of marksmanship. All this is in preparation for the return match with the Marine Team at Parris Island on March 9. Also, this year The Citadel will enter a five-man team in the Hearst Trophy Match. The rifle marksmanship season is closed in the latter part of May by the Washington Light Infantry Match. This is a joint meet between ten-men teams from each of the Companies, the winning team receiving the Washington Light Infantry Trophy and each of its members a silver medal. The high scorer of the entire match receives a gold award. Rear —Mathews, Holloway, Hearndon, Glover, Kitchei.l, Branson, Battle, Dunno, Anderson. Front —Symmes, Risher, Riley, Spedden, Rosenberg, McCown, Lutz, Ferguson. Page One Hundred Seventy-one Swimming Since the swimming pool has not yet been inclosed, the impracticability of practicing in an open air pool during the current season for intercollegiate swim¬ ming events has prevented The Citadel from developing a team. However, intramural swimming meets will probably enhance the joy of swimming, as soon as the weather permits the use of the pool. A building to house the pool is contemplated and will be erected at the first available opportunity. In it there will be seats for one thousand spectators. From this we may infer that the project will prove lucrative as well as pleasur¬ able. As an excellent water heating and filtering plant has already been in¬ stalled, the only thing opposing the developing of a good team is the lack of a cover over the pool to keep out winter’s icy blasts. That there is no dearth of swimming talent here has been irrefutably proven by the fine showings made by some of the men at summer camps each year. The widespread pleasure derived from swimming and diving, as evidenced by the large number of boys who daily attend the pool in warm weather, is indi¬ cative of an interest in the sport which can do much toward producing a fine team in future years. Since the completion of the pool early last year many boys have profited immeasurably from their aquatic activities, and it is the hope of everyone that well organized intramural swimming events this year will promote the advance¬ ment of water sports even more than last year’s desultory program. Page One Hundred Seventy-two Golf Golf is striving this year to break the stagnation which has overcome it at The Citadel for the past few sessions and emerge from the shell of seclusion. As we go to press, the authorities are corresponding with all state colleges which have teams and with several out-of- state colleges to get matches. Definite teams—varsity and freshman—have not yet been selected due to the keenness of the competition. The chief contenders for varsity places are Daniel, Mayo, J. B., Meng, Thorpe, Buie, and Marett. Strange as it may seem, freshmen who are standouts for berths—Doe, Wortham, Thorne, Dudley, Smith, H. G., McDill, and Jenkins, J. W.—could probably constitute a team which would hold its own with any varsity in the state. These are all indications of a heightened interest in golf and at least will assure us of an excellent team next year. Gvmnasium j In 1923, Gadsden Gymnasium was erected from a fund of $50,000, which was subscribed by graduates and former cadets. Due to an insufficient amount of money the plans for a Greater Citadel in regard to gymnastic facilities were not completed. The original plans called for three buildings—one large structure and a wing adjoining each side of it. However, only the central building was completed; this was named Alumni Hall. Previous to last year, Alumni Hall had no gymnastic equipment and as a result many cadets were deprived of the advantages of an up-to-date gymnasium. However, funds were obtained last year for a rowing machine, Indian clubs, wall exercisers, parallel bars, horizontal bars, tumbling mats, climbing ropes, and medicine balls. With the installation of this new equipment cadets took more interest in physical exercise, and it is hoped that they will continue to avail themselves of this splendid opportunity. In addition, Alumni Hall contains an excellent basketball court, a rifle range, lockers, dressing rooms, showers, and a boxing room. Aside from its athletic use, the gymnasium is the center of a great deal of other campus activities, chapel services every Sunday morning as well as all dances being held within its spacious walls. Intramurals Previous to this year Intramural Athletics were held every Saturday morning with each cadet participating in some sport. However, due to the change in the academic schedule this year this program was discontinued. Under the new schedule the Freshmen were organized into physical culture classes in which each freshman was given individual instruction as to the proper care of his body. However, the need of a well organized athletic program in which all classes could participate in some sport was badly felt, and to remedy this Coach Tatum Gressette formulated a plan which was a possible solution to the situation. This plan proposed that Intramural athletics be held each afternoon between the hours of four and six. Each company under the supervision of Senior Cadet Officers, was to organize its own athletic team and com¬ pete with other companies, the winning team to receive credit for confinements, merits, or some other compensation. At the present time this plan is in the process of becoming a permanent feature of the athletic program at The Citadel. This set up will make it possible for each cadet to engage in athletic competition and as a result will add to his college life the intrinsic qualities of co-operation and fair play, without which a college education is not complete.

Associate Editor Spencer Glascock . Advertising Manager The Palmetto, or Student Handbook, is the official annual publication of the Citadel Y. M. C. A. Its purpose is to give new cadets a brief picture of the col¬ lege and the corps with their traditions and customs, and to inform the incom¬ ing freshmen of the regulations by which they must abide. The book is divided into seven sections, The Y, The College, Military, Athletics, Activities, Freshmen, and Miscellaneous. Each section is supple¬ mented with pictures and gives a short history of its phase, with additional information about the work to be done in he coming year. The small volume is invaluable to freshmen and upper classmen alike for it contains a list of Charleston Churches, a copy of the school calendar, with furloughs and holidays listed, a schedule of athletic contests for the year, and Citadel yells and songs, as well as other miscellaneous information which, though secondary, is essential. A worthy and helpful publication, I he Palmetto provides in condensed form information for the old cadet and an introduction to life at The Citadel for the Recruit. Credit for this year ' s excellent edition goes to Gordon Jones, Editor-in-Chief, who was ably assisted by Rhett Taber, Associate Editor, and Spencer Glascock, Advertising Manager. Page One Hundred Eighty-seven In Appreciation As Director of Cadet Affairs, Major McAlister holds perhaps the most important but undoubtedly the least enviable position of any member of the Administration. He is the hub of all extra¬ curricular activity, and his innumerable duties and indispensable ser¬ vices practically defy classification! Resembling a small three ring circus, his office is unceasingly besieged by complainant civilians, salesmen, alumni, coaches, FERA’ers, expectant cadets, and what¬ not, all of whom meet with like cordiality but not all with the same satisfaction. 1 he Major’s Simon Legare qualities are well known to all cadets, especially aspiring Hop Committee Chairmen and ambitious Editors, whose plans have more than once come to grief when faced with the cool logic of his acute business sense. However, his penurous characteristics are more than offset by his affability and pleasing per¬ sonality, as evidenced by his host of friends both off and on the campus. A capable executive—a true friend—and an all-round good fel¬ low, we look forward to the day when “Colonel D. S. McAlister” will adorn the front of a spacious office at The GREATER CITADEL. ORGANIZATIONS mrn The Cadet Committee The maintenance of discipline is an integral part in the make-up of a mili¬ tary college where regulation and order are ind ispensable. At The Citadel, the task of securing such a condition is in part delegated to a group of Cadets known as The Cadet Committee. The personnel of this organization consists of the twelve ranking Cadets in school and two members of the Junior Class, its function closely resembling that of a court. Through its jurisdiction, appropriate punishment is meted out for all major violations of Cadet regulations. For convenience, it is sub¬ divided, each barracks possessing its own Battalion Cadet Committee whose duty it is to maintain local order and try all minor offenders. The Cadet Committee is the official instrument by which Freshmen discip¬ line is maintained, members of the fourth class appearing before it and receiv¬ ing either tours or restriction or both, for any infraction noted by an upper¬ classman. Woe indeed to the Recruit, who is summoned before this august body and is unable to render a satisfactory explanation, for it is alike justly viewed with fear and respect by lower and upper classmen. The committee meets with due formality, dress with side arms being the prescribed uniform, and cadets appearing before it must be similarly clad and remain rigidly at attention throughout the proceedings. Familiarity of any sort during the procedure is utterly lacking, it being the duty of the Junior members to prevent such, inspect the indicted party, and to summon the offender. ROSTER OF THE REGIMENTAL CADET COMMITTEE Colonel: A. L. Leonard, Presiding Officer; Lt. Col: J. H. Dougherty; Majors: A. H. Weinberger, M. Lowe; Company Captains: W. H. Britt, G. Gwynette, A. W. Ferguson, D. M. McCree, L. W. Smith, and J. E. Thorpe; Staff Captain: W. V. Cole, Jr.; Junior Members: First Sgts. J. W. Marshall and McCown. Page One Hundred Ninety The Round Table The Round T able, the Literary Organization of the Citadel, was founded in 1927 by Captain Ralph Lyon of the Education Department in order to pro¬ vide a means for cadets to meet in an organized informal discussion of current topics of social, political, and scientific interest and to promote and stimulate interest in things cultural and intellectual at the Citadel. It is a select organiza¬ tion, membership being by invitation only and limited to twenty-five cadets and faculty members. New members are chosen for their interest in cultural and intellectual activities, sociability, argumentative ability, dependableness, scholastic achievement, and general attitude. Meetings are held bi-monthly on Thursday in the Library. Heretofore, all members have prepared short papers on the current topic and a general dis¬ cussion was held. Toward the latter part of this year, this was changed and discussion leaders were appointed for each program of the remainder of the year. These men prepare careful and complete papers on their topic in order to present a broad and comprehensive view of the subject. The last half of the meeting is given over to a general discussion. At the end of the year these papers will be edited and bound in pamphlet form in order to keep a record of the year’s work. A few of the subjects discussed during the year were: “The New Deal,” “Technolog Control of Industry and Agriculture by Congress, “The Effect of a Winning Football Team on the Enrollment of a College,” “Athletics at the Citadel and Proposed Changes,” “The Present State Administration in South Carolina and Proposed Changes,” “Contemporary Southern Literature and Modern Architecture,” and “The Architecture of Charleston.” The Round Table is a unique and distinctive organization, one of the finest of its kind in any American college. Its members are able to obtain an un¬ biased, deep, and intelligent view of current topics and to broaden immeasur¬ ably the scope of their social and intellectual life. To be a member is one of the highest honors a cadet may attain. Page One Hundred Ninety-one The Forum The Forum is now in its third year of existence at the Citadel. It was founded in the fall of 1 933 in order to promote public speaking and debating. Since then it has grown and flourished, and stands today as one of the lead¬ ing organizations on the campus. Membership is not selective, satisfactory grades being the only qualification needed to join. A definite program is carried out during the year giving every member an opportunity for public speaking. Debates are held on topics of current inter¬ est and a radio program is presented regularly over W. C. S. C., the Charles¬ ton station. The Forum inaugurated a debating team which began with one debate against the College of Charleston in its initial year, participated in eight de¬ bates last year against state opponents, and this year has received invitations from such schools as the University of Vermont and Washington and Jeffer¬ son, as well as a large number of South Carolina schools. Through the Forum the Citadel joined the South Carolina Intercollegiate Oratorical Association last year and sent a delegate to the State Oratorical Contest, winning second place. Plans are now being made to have a large representation at the South Atlantic Forensic Tournament next year. The Citadel was represented by Forum mem¬ bers at the Model Assembly of the League of Nations at Winthrop College this year for the first time, but hereafter will attend annually. A medal is presented each year at Commencement by Capt. James G. Harri¬ son, acting for the college, to the cadet who has done the most for the advance¬ ment of public speaking during the current school year. Although a compara¬ tively new organization the Forum has thus done much to widen the sphere of Cadet life and enable students to obtain valuable training in all types of forensics. Page One Hundred Ninety-two Young Men’s Christian Association The Citadel Y. M. C. A. is an integral part of the life of the Corps of Cadets. While it has for its definite goal, the promotion and encouragement of religious life for each cadet, it is essentially a service organization. The post- office is handled by the “Y” for the entire college, a service requiring much effort. A depository is maintained for the extra funds of the cadets, allowing withdrawals as needed. Other services are picture-developing, wrapping and mailing of parcels, sending of telegrams, and operating of recreation rooms. The Advisory Board composed of four cadets and six faculty members meets twice a year and looks after the budget and program of the Association. The “Y” Cabinet consists of twelve outstanding cadets, popularly elected, who head the various committees. Bible Study is one of the main programs of the Association, this year alone over three hundred men taking the course. These studies are arranged over a period of three years, each succeeding year continuing the course of the preceding one, completion and awarding of diplomas coming at the close of the third period. Vesper services and religious meetings are held Sunday evenings from September to Christmas and from Easter to Commencement. The Secre¬ tary cooperates with the Administration in conducting the Sunday Chapel Exercises, where the various ministers of the city alternate in speaking to the cadets. In addition Daily Chapel Exercises are conducted by the Secretary in the dining hall each week-day morning. Personal work is carried on ex¬ tensively among the students, while each year a Citadel delegation attends the religious conference at Blue Ridge. U I j! l ' i V Page One Hundred Ninety-three I Earle Sills . Miss Libby Roberts Bull Dog Orchestra When the 1 936 edition of the widely known Bull Dog Orchestra began practice early in September under the direction of Cadet Earle Sills, they were faced with the perplexing problem of filling the gaps left by the graduation of five outstanding members of the previous Bull Dog group. Maestro Sills had to replace men of the calibre of Herbert Allen, George Rhame, Sam Corpen- ing, Karl Hemeyer, and Simon Moye. His success in finding capable replace¬ ments is a matter of common knowledge and needs no elaboration. Within three weeks, the persistent and hard-working leader presented the new Bull Dog Orchestra to a large enthusiastic throng of dancers at the Open¬ ing Messhall of the Cadet terpsichorean season in the Gadsden Gymnasium. The opinion was universal that the genial Sills had molded together an organi¬ zation that equalled or even surpassed all former Cadet harmonizers. From that time on the Bull Dogs fulfilled as many state engagements as their duties would permit. Through the assistance lent by Major C. F. Myers, faculty adviser, the Bull Dogs blossomed forth with a complete change of new and handsomer equipment which compared favorably with that as used by the larger name” bands of the country. Among the recently acquired assets are included a new set of stands of modernistic design with lighting equipment, an automobile trailer, and one of the best amplifying systems in the South. The Bull Dogs were fortunate in securing the services of Miss Travis Smith, petite radio songstress, who was featured by the group during the annual series of Homecoming Dances at The Citadel. The presence of Miss Smith served further to add to the laurels and increase the prestige of the Bull Dogs. The unusually complete repertoire of the organization was enhanced by the distinctive arrangements by Jack Girard, member of the orchestra. His individualistic type of rhythms aided the Bull Dogs materially in satisfying the desires of dancing feet. The personnel of the 1936 Bull Dogs consisted of: Earle Sills, director; Allen Williams, Charles Courtney, and Wilbur Smith, saxophones; Jack Gir¬ ard, Dan Dukes and Gregg Causey, trumpets; Clif Brown and Hope Sandifer, trombones; Hilton Connelly, piano; Bill Benton, drums; and Guido Albanese, bass. The orchestra next year should be even more successful than the present aggregation as they are fortunate in not losing any of this year’s members through graduation. Director Sponsor Page One Hundred Ninety-four The Glee Club The Glee Club, under the skilled direction of Mr. Ivar Skougdard, ex¬ perienced one of the most successful seasons that it has had in several years. Mr. Skougdard came to The Citadel this year with a fine record behind him. He possesses a fine voice, and has trained and directed glee clubs, choirs, and acappella choruses at several of the larger universities. Major C. F. Myers, Jr., acted in the role of faculty adviser and business manager. To the untiring and patient efForts of Major Myers, who has gladly given much of his time to Glee Club work, we owe a debt of gratitude which we can never repay. Mr. Skougdard and Major Myers labored ardently together to perfect the Glee Club, and it is felt that their efForts have been rewarded by the fine show¬ ing and response that this organization has made during the past year. Cadet Clarence E. Black was president of the organization and carried out the duties of this office admirably well, while Cadet Paul F. Byther acted in the capacity of vice-president and chairman of the business committee. The busi¬ ness committee was composed of cadets J. E. Hart, Padrick, V. P. Warren, and Stone. The Glee Club has given several concerts during the year, both on the campus and over radio station WCSC in Charleston. At the present time, an extensive tour over the state is planned, with several local appearances a cer¬ tainty. A new cadet choir has been organized using the Glee Club members as a nucleus, and it is hoped that by next year this organization will have de¬ veloped to include some sixty cadets who will sing at all services in the new chapel. Page One Hundred Ninety-five The Cadet Activities Committee The Cadet Activities Committee is the outgrowth of the need for some central governing body for the various activities that are undertaken to make Cadet life more enjoyable. The Committee directs the work of the cadet pub¬ lications, as well as that of the general Cadet Activities. Included in the latter is the supervision of all dances, of the pressing club, and of the janitor service in barracks. The canteen and the barber shop, although operated by civilians are nevertheless subject to regulation by the Committee. The principal work carried on by the Committee consists in auditing the accounts of the several activities and authorizing all expenditures and appropriations made in their behalf, and it also makes investigations and recommendations to improve the efficiency of the gym, the swimming pool, the track, and the other activities that it controls. The Cadet Activities Committee is composed of five cadets (one of whom acts as chairman), The Commandant, The Assistant Commandant, two faculty members, one member of the military department, and the Director of Cadet Affairs. It is through this varied representation that the Committee achieves its effectiveness, since the problems which arise are viewed from many different angles and an agreeable solution is generally the outcome. It is thus seen that this committee serves the Corps in a necessary capacity and does so with distinction.

This onerous task includes the detailed arrangements and advertising of the messhalls in hopes that a larger crowd will be the outcome which usually isn’t. THE THANKSGIVING HOP COMMITTEE Bill Gwynette, Chairman J. M. Holliday J. S. Jones J. M. McClees R. J. Manning Red” McCord On Friday night, November 29, and Saturday afternoon and night, November 30, the annual Thanks- giving dances were held in Alumni Hall. Music was furnished by Freddy Johnson and his University of North Carolina Orchestra, featuring Miss Peggy Woods. Carrying out the autumnal scheme the gym was attractively decorated with alternating brown and yellow paper streamers, and the windows were rusticly draped with moss, vines, and smilax. The orchestra pit was flanked on either side by a large picture of a Puritan family celebrating the initial Thanksgiving Day No-break cards bearing the Citadel Seal were presented to all young ladies attending, with four regular no-breaks and one senior no-break during the Hop and three each and a Senior at the tea dance and messhall. In the receiving line were Cadet Bill Gwynette, Chairman of the Hop Committee, General and Mrs Summerall, and Colonel and Mrs. Lang. THE CHRISTMAS HOP COMMITTEE Wortham Dibble W. A. Carr Barry League, Chairman Bill Brockington H. H. Folk J. Walker On December 19, 1935, the Corps celebrated the beginning of the holidays with its annual Christmas Hop at Alumni Hall. Jimmy Poyner and his famous North Carolina State Collegians playing their first engagement at The Citadel, rendered excellent music for the occasion—completely capturing the dancers with their novelties, “swing ’ tunes, and smooth syncopation. The hall was decorated in characteristic Christmas style with southern smilax and grey moss while the orchestra played from a chimney. In the receiving line were General and Mrs. Summerall, Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. Gaston, and Barry League, Chairman of the Hop. Committee. at- i T u T at V e A the gening was the traditional ring ceremony. The Seniors and their dates paced by INick Hobbs, President of the class, wheeled around the floor in the customary Grand March, halted for a moment m mass formation as each girl slipped the class ring on her partner’s finger and lighted his life with a bashful kiss, then swung into the Senior No-break to the strains of “I Love You Truly.” Page One Hundred Ninety-eight tw Gwynette League Curlee Dougherty McGee THE SENIOR HOP COMMITTEE Tom Curlee, Chairman Henry Thayer John Stone L. M. McBee J. W. Anderson Henry McGhee C. W. Smith On Friday night, March 21, the long awaited Senior Hop was held in Alumni Hall. Tommy Tucker and his famous Californians furnished the music. Returning to The Citadel after an absence of four years this famous band, featuring a singing guitar made an immense hit, with its novelties, “hot” numbers and sweet music. The gym was beautifully decorated, blue and white paper forming a roof over the heads of the dancers. The orchestra was enclosed in a pit covered with a canopy of blue and white paper. No-break cards bearing The Citadel Seal was given to each young lady attending the dance, four regular and one Senior being held during the evening. For favors the girls received bar pins in the form of a sword with a sapphire stone, while cadets received a tie clip in the same design. At exactly midnight, the famous Junior Sword drill took place. After a series of intricate maneuvers, the Juniors formed an arch of swords at the entrance to the dance floor and the Seniors and their dates marched under. After the customary Grand March, they danced the Senior No-break. On Saturday a tea dance and messhall were held, bringing to a close the most successful and enjoyable Hop of recent years. THE SPRING HOP COMMITTEE John Dougherty, Chairman L. A. Blythe R. P. Ford N. H. Nuttall At the time of this writing it is known definitely that there will be a Spring Hop on May 1st and 2nd. Jim Fettis and his CBS Orchestra which made such a favorable impression last year when they played for the Senior and Commencement Hops have been engaged to furnish the music. This is the first time in several years that this Hop has been held, and advance indications point to one of the best of the year. A great deal of glamour and enjoyment will be added to the occasion as white uniforms will be worn to the tea dance and messhall on Saturday. THE COMMENCEMENT HOP COMMITTEE H. R. McGee, Chairman John Kendrick W. A. Carr J. M. Holliday J. E. Schachte, Jr. W. S. Weston Plans are being made now to have one of the biggest Commencement Hops in recent years. Due to an unusually large sum of money on hand, negotiations are under way for the leading dance orchestras of the country in order to end the ’35-’36 dance year in a blaze of superb music. As is the custom, the Hop will be held on Thursday night and a messhall will follow on Friday night. Before the Hop, the Seniors will attend the “Classi of ’36” Banquet. The Messhall will bring the graduating class together for the last social function, closing a most successful and enjoyable dance season.

Electives are offered in Civil Engineering, English, Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Modern Languages, Education, Pre-Medical, History and Business Administration. Its military discipline has received the highest commendation of the United States inspectors. For Catalog, with complete information, address THE PRESIDENT Charleston, S. C. Page Two Hundred Thirty-two A Few Facts— CONCERNING THE CITADEL THE CITADEL is an accredited standard College granting degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. It was established as a State College in 1842 by the General Assembly of South Carolina “to qualify young men for the business of life. The Citadel has a remarkably fine health record. An excellent system of sanitation and hygiene prevents illness and disease. All rooms are outside rooms. Physical examinations are required. Rest, recreational and work hours are nicely balanced. The Citadel has a well-arranged Intramural Athletic program in which every cadet is obliged to participate. The Citadel conducts a course in Social Customs and Courtesies as well as a course in Traffic Regulations and Courtesies of the Road. The Citadel is a democratic institution. The cadet stands on his own feet. He advances according to his merit and achievement. He learns under the system of military training, first to command himself, then progressively to command increasingly larger groups of his fellow cadets. Leadership and character development are stressed. The Citadel inculcates a correct attitude of mind, precision in work, and obedience to authority—prime requisites in good citizenship. The Citadel is inexpensive without being cheap. Expenses are kept to a minimum consistent with efficient teaching, comfortable living and a well- balanced, abundant diet. The Citadel’s graduates are eligible for commissions as Reserve Officers of Infantry or Coast Artillery. The Citadel’s graduates are eligible for the Army Flying School at Ran¬ dolph Field, Texas, if they pass the physical tests. The Citadel cadets participated with distinction as a military unit in the War Between the States. Over 200 of the 224 graduates living in 1861 were officers in the Confederate Army. The Citadel is the State Military College of South Carolina in which stu¬ dents live under military discipline much like that of the National Military College, West Point.
