There you see the barracks wherein we lived, the parade ground upon which we drilled, and drilled again. You see the fine new mess hall with its excellent equipment, and more praise to them, its excellent chefs. To the right of the parade ground you see the gymnasium, the football field, and the tennis courts whereon our teams strove for victory. In the immediate foreground, facing the parade ground, stands in peaceful splendor our chapel, whose influence we have all felt and respected. At the left of our campus you see Bond Hall, wherein we attended classes and wherein the destinies of our school are ably guided by General Summerall. our President and our friend. In the rear of Bond Hall, looking toward the river bank, you will see, clustered in the trees that shade them, the homes of our faculty members. Beyond flows the stately Ashley River, on whose waters our nautically minded cadets swiftly sailed their sleek craft. Far beyond in the background those who know Charleston and its surrounding country can recognize the country club on Wappoo Cut. where many of us have enjoyed a round of golf. Within these confines we have lived, have carried on the routine hap- penings of our cadet life and experienced much that is dear and important to us. You have seen the location; may the pages of this book, from this point forward, recall to your mind the kaleidoscopic events which made up our life as cadets. Insofar as the atmosphere of a military school permits informality, that far have we gone to present the story of this year at The Citadel.

We do not know exactly how we can pay due tribute to those men who have been so near to us, but we shall attempt to immortalize them throughout the follow- ing pages. Many of us have often looked upon them with misgivings and ire when they greeted us with those Monday morning quizzes and those monthly tests which we were never able to find the answers to, even in the book. However, as we take a quick glance backward upon the past four years, and then meekly turn towards the future, we only see darkly and unintelligently and realize that, maybe, all of these hardships were really for our own benefit. We have only expressed the views of the Seniors, but there are three more classes at The Citadel who always like to look back upon their year or years at The Citadel and recall those pleasant, or at times some of them might be unpleasant, things concerning the men who have endeavored to aid them in securing a liberal education. There will be underclassmen who will never return or see The Citadel again, but they will have copies of this volume. These men will delight in turning these pages and gazing once more upon those faces that have been immortalized by a little printer ' s ink. However, printer ' s ink, or whatever you may name, will never immortalize these men as they have immortalized themselves in the hearts of the corps. As we began this volume, the question arose in our minds, what does The Citadel consist of and whom should this annual be edited fori ' Suddenly we became aware of the fact that The Citadel is the if Faculty and the Corps of Cadets. The annual is to portray the life of a cadet at The Citadel for one year; but it would be incomplete if due space would not be given to the faculty. We deeply regret that we are unable to give each faculty member an individual picture, but we truly hope that this following section will play the part if. that we desire for it: and, as every alumnus or cadet glances across these pages bringing back sweet memories of college days, he might say, Now we greet the faculty, those men who labored so diligently for us. ¥ Col. L. Knox Col. N. F. Smith Department of Chemistry Department of Physics Woe unto those cadets who sign up in the Department of a Thousand Smells. For four years we tinkle with the Periodic Table, Dal- ton ' s Atomic Theory, electrons, metathesis, titrations, valence, atomic weight, H S, that ever hoped for precipitate, etc. These may be called the tools of the chemist. That awful Pre-Med. section. That is what they call us. We are forced to weaken our eyes squinting through the scope. Cats to the right of us, cats to the left of us. With scalpel, scissors, and tweezers we explore and learn the secrets of existence. Awful is the odor, but sweet is the reward. In the east end of Bond Hall, on the first and second floors, dwells the dread of Citadel Sophomores — the Physics Department. Kine- matics, thermodynames, electrostatics — such names impress the most fearless. Comparatively few cadets are brave enough to major in Physics, but those few who do are fully quali- fied to enter the leading universities as full- fledged graduate students. We are well equipped with good apparatus, laboratories, lecture rooms, and professors; the department functions well. Both pre-medical students and civil engineers receive adequate and competent physics preparation in this depart- ment. May it long endure! Seated: Byrd, K.nox. Watkins. Staitdiufi: Metcai.f.

Holliday Department of Civil Engineering Let us give way for just a moment of reminiscence to a group that for four short years, it now seems, guided a small number through the entanglement of facts and figures known to you folks as engineering. After leav- ing that period of adolescence, under the tutorage of Papa John, Colonel Bub assumed the task of enlightening the boys on the liberties enjoyed under our democracy, the fruits of which still hang unshaken on the t ree. As yet, no theorem has been suggested, of a printable nature, amply to describe the antics of the department during the senior year. Eventually the fatal day arrives when with dip in hand you venture forth to seek your fate. Alas, you find that Bub and John weren ' t so bad after all. Department of Military Science and Tactics Here we greet that rugged band of instructors who attempt to teach us the Tactics and Tech- niques of two branches of the service. Never wearying in their efforts, even after several re-quizzes, these men are to the military life of The Citadel what the Infantry is to the Army. Supervising Doughboy Drill and artillery gun drill, holding classes, keeping individual records, and making out appoint- ments are parts of their full routine. The longer that we remain at The Citadel the clearer becomes our perspective of what the military department strives to accomplish. But as a whole, we see that it strives to develop officers and gentlemen in fact as well as by Act of Congress. Scaled: JIaynes, LeTellikr, Anderson. Standiiui: Nettles, Williams Taylor.

Not contented with this, we also agree to subject ourselves to the deep politics and law that the Quizzem pushes out in incomprehensible lectures and unwanted Monday morning quizzes. Facts, dates, governments, and states- men, all dazzle the brain of the History student as he burns the midnight oil in an attempt to prepare for those quizzes and work up reports. However, this department gives liberal courses for the broadening of the mind toward the point of an educated man. Col. S. J. Williams Lt.-Col. C. L. Hair Department of Mathematics Just a word about the gents who insist on taking the joy from life and replacing it with a dash of algebra, a jigger of geometry, and a dab or two of this foreign substance they call calculus. We don ' t know exactly where it all leads or what it all means but we do know that the trail they blaze is no path of roses. Taking everything into consideration, with- out mentioning any names, Bunny and his boys have had a lot of patience. Maybe they still remember that they too traveled over the same road. Anyhow, we appreciate their efforts, but we hope the seed they have planted will not flower with some new theory to bring despair upon our children. Seated: Coleman. Williams, Skipper.

Wiles Department of Business Administration Our first experience with the Business Administration Department was to be informed by Lieutenant Bernfield that he was going to put us behind the eight ball. With the help of pop quizzes and long assignments by other members of the Department, he almost succeeded. But most of us were able to stay in the race by using such tactics as showering the instructor with questions whenever a stack of yellow paper foretold a quiz or by being able to list all important points in Captain Tibbetts ' courses, and by discussing trading on equity whenever we couldn ' t give Colonel Lewis a more specific answer. Department of English English!. . the cultural calamity of indiffer- ent freshmen, and the dreaded, though enjoyed requirement of sophomores. The hectic begin- ning of the Survey relegated some of our unfortunate classmates to depths which terrified, from which few emerged. We became familiar with the deeds of Beowulf, the romance of Gawain, the tales of Chaucer, and the works of Milton, Spenser, et al. Though some of us could not expand our knowledge of the musical, the fascinating, and the philosophical as Old Chap would have us, some of us could. There- fore, some of us went on to higher courses, finally attaining the goal of erudition for which so many have striven and failed. Scaled: Debnam, Tibbetts, Lewis, Whitman.

Long shall be remembered Doc ' s research and pop quizzes; they did a lot towards keeping our interest. Oftentimes the Colonel gave us an example of pure wit, while Doc told us of his rough and ready escapades. We delved into the understanding of our fellow man and his reactions to certain stimuli; likewise, into the problems of teaching. Lt.-Col. L. a. Prouty Maj. J. H. Wilson Department of Modern Languages It was an unfortunate stroke of fate, a verit- able ill omen, when many members of the Class of ' 39 were subjected to French. We have never seemed to be able to shake off the shackles of that subject, especially those members that were exposed to it for three or four years. Likewise, Spanish and German have persisted among many of us. We experienced much as we became accustomed to the hustle and bustle aux tableaux to release our bulging (?) store of words, idioms, and sentences. We cannot help revealing that hearing ourselves and our classmates express themselves in Frog or Spic, although at times boring, was for the most part extremely fascinating. Prouty, Ralya.

Or as it may seem to those with whom the thoughts of home have overpowering possession . . . wish I were at home . an ugly place my stomach feels funny .. These and many other thoughts pass through the minds of all recruits as they arrive at The Citadel. So is it with the centennial class . . the Class of 1 942. So that ' s what they call a ' training cadre ' . . . look at that short fellow . . how does he expect anybody to do what he says. . .I ' m bigger than he is . . .1 reckon the boy with the two chevrons is a corporal . .hell! I was a captain at Triumphant. And night falls . do they expect me to live in rooms like this . why can ' t I go down town . . wonder what kind of rugs they ' ll put in my room . . . those bags must belong to the fellow who ' ll live here with me . gosh! I ' m tired . and the sleep of the innocent descends upon the recruit. This is the end of the recruits ' first day at The Citadel. The following day seems to them to be a round of endless activity. Always moving sign- ing papers drawing strange and fascinating equip- ment. Some are disappointed because they have no rifles. Time will tell. But gradually the confusion becomes ordered in their minds: they quickly fall into the everyday rou- tine of learning. Endless time becomes all too short. And so the days pass, and the recruits gradually become cadets. Two bits, please! Dudes, eh! What ' s that! Lines, Lines, Lines . . . Sign here. Mister. Goodbye freedom . . . Freshmen will not . . .

Ralph Cadot Holliday Infantry, Professor of Military Science and Tactics • • • . . as we hear the commands of squad and company drill, but best of all, recall. The military life of The Citadel is to a cadet what water is to a duck — they are inseparable. The Citadel is essentially built around the discipline and rules of military law. To this discipline and these rules every cadet must conform, and each has a definite place within its structure. Obeying orders, touring the quad, marching wherever you go, dressing in a set way, and being skinned for all breaches of discipline are all a part of the life that the cadets must lead. To the Freshman all upperclassmen appear as ferocious monsters who delight in watch- ing their victims suffer as they grind out weary miles, while to the mighty sophomores all seniors appear as vicious dogs which remain quiet until some- one trespasses on one of their cherished bones. The second and first classmen realize the true purpose of the military life and in most cases try to profit by the lessons taught. Some cadets look upon the military life as an added burden, while others think it a nuisance, but the greater majority realize that this one feature plays the greatest part in making every cadet a True Citadel Man.

Kirk, (Inf.), B.S., The Citadel Assistant P. M.S. and T. Coach. Rifle Team Sergeant Thomas R. Sanders, (Inf.) Sergeant Instructor Sergeant Talmadge D. Ashworth, (Inf.) Sergeant Instructor . The Infantry unit has at its head this year Maj. William C. Moore, whose assistants are Maj. Roy C. Hilton and Maj. Robert J. Kirk. A rather unique fact concerning these officers is that they were all classmates and graduates of The Citadel Class of 1915. Being graduates of The Citadel enables them to know and under- stand the problems that confront a Citadel Cadet. During the four years training, the Infantry unit takes up the following courses: drill and command, rifle marksmanship, automatic rifle, machine gun, sanitation, first aid, scouting and patrolling, musketry, map reading, map sketching, field engineering, howitzer company weapons, tactics technique. Infantry weapons, methods of instructing, military history and law, administration, motor trans- portation, and orientation for the reserve commission. This train- ing is conducted in two-hour periods for basic students and three- hour periods for the advanced students per week. Also, the students receive two hours practical outdoor training and two hours drill per week. The training taken up at The Citadel is supplemented by six weeks of practical training at Fort McClellan, which is located near Annis- ton, Ala. The cadets are given instruction there by regular army oflicers from the Fourth Corps Area. Camp gives the cadet a taste of regular army life. This year every Junior eligible for R. O. T. C. is a member and will attend camp this summer. The R. O. T. C. was first established in 1920 under the National Defense Act passed by Congress. The Citadel was one of the first units to be established. At Federal inspection this year. The Citadel was given a classi- fication of excellence by the Army officers who inspected it. This is the highest rating obtainable and is an honor which speaks well for both the training staff and the Corps of Cadets. In. isSi ■ ; I . m [39] COAST ARTILLERY UNIT SN Lt.-Col. Gooding Packard.

This branch of the service is increasing in importance as more and more coast artillery- men are firing the anti-aircraft and the large field artillery guns. Lieutenant-Colonel Gooding Packard, who has been stationed at The Citadel for two years, is in charge of the unit. Major George A. Patrick and Captain Joseph S. Robinson are his assistants. Both Colonel Packard and Captain Robinson are graduates of West Point, and Major Patrick graduated from The Citadel in the class of 1916, Located at The Citadel are two 155 mm. seacoast guns, two 75 mm. anti-aircraft guns on truck mounts, and complete position- finding equipment for both seacoast and anti-aircraft weapons. At the noon drill period on Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of the regular infantry drill, the artillerymen participate in artillery drill. Under the supervision of the seniors, the freshmen and sophomores receive practical instruction. The juniors receive additional classroom instruction during these periods. In the summer following the completion of the junior year, the coast artillery cadets who have been selected by the military depart- ment to enter the advanced ROTC attend a six-weeks camp at Fort Barancas, Florida. At this training camp the future Reserve Officers receive practical experience in handling the various seacoast and anti- aircraft weapons. [40] Cadet Colonel Thomas A.

In this unit one will meet the men who aid in setting the standards of discipline for The Citadel and who keep up the esprit de corps. This is no unit to be passed by with a mere nod; it must be recognized as the backbone of any man ' s army, for what general can win a battle without that group of determined Dough- boys which he must push to the fore? With that same determination the Infantry Battalion at The Citadel has kept up the battle to make The Citadel what all alumni wish to see it become. Because of an increased enrollment this year, the Battalion was enlarged to six companies. This is an unorthodox number, but it provides an oppor- tunity for a few more officers to get experience in leadership and command. As the reader turns these pages, either in a nonchalant manner or with an intense interest, he will see before him the immortalized members of the First Battalion, The Infantry Unit.

COMPANY Nllll 1 I THE COAST ARTILLERY UNIT SECOND BATTALION • • • Behold, the second line of defense! Here we greet the Coast Artil- lery Battalion, the future officers of Uncle Sam ' s coast defense units. These boys stand behind the big guns and send whirling shrapnels over the heads of those brave Doughboys out in front. Their sup- port is necessary in battle: likewise, it is necessary here at The Citadel. It is through the cooperation of this Battalion with the Infantry Battalion that the morale and standards of The Citadel are upheld. Similarly, this spirit of cooperation has made The Citadel what it is today. Also because of an incr eased enrollment in this unit this year, the Battalion was enlarged to six companies, thereby presenting an opportunity for more officers to get experience in com- mand and leadership. In this manner they hoped to step forth and assert themselves in close order drill as well as gun drill.

Richardson Rifles One of the greatest attractions to Citadel football games during the past season was the performance of the drill platoons known as the Richardson Rifles. The Senior platoon or Summerall Guards performed between halves of more than six games. Usually this platoon was the only unit participating. However, on several occasions the Junior platoon, known as the Bond Volunteers, accom- panied the senior unit. The two platoons participating together form the Richardson Rifles. The Citadel drill platoons have popularized the Corps of Cadets wherever they have performed. Every performance has enhanced the Cadet Jack R. Lyons Commander, Summerall Guards Cadet Charles O. Fortson Commander, Bond Volunteers reputation of The Citadel. Among the alumni there is always a gratifying response to the exhibition. The exhibition drill, known as The Citadel Series, consists of various close order drill movements. In the drill are included a rifle manual, the German Squad Move- ment, the flank by rank, obliques, successive peeling movements, and various individual squad maneuvers. This drill is silent and automatic. Upon completion of the drill, the platoons march in line to each side of the gridiron, and stand at present arms while the two school ' s Alma Maters are played. The Citadel Scries requires much practice and perfect coordination, and every cadet considers it an honor to be a member of the Richardson Rifles. This colorful drill always causes favorable comment, and adds to The Citadel ' s military reputation. • • • • • Summerall Guards Bond Volunteers GLIMPSES OF MILITARY LIFE Atten-shun! . . .

McAlister Major McAlister maintains his posi- tion of Director of Cadet Affairs in a manner satisfactory to all. Through his experience and wisdom many cadets have been aided in solving some appar- ently hopeless problem. His duties make him one of the busiest and most im- portant men on the campus: his accom- plishments are so numerous and con- sistent that many people take success for granted. When one needs advice, Major McAlister is the man to ap- proach. He handles his position with ability, dignity, integrity and under- standing, and is immune to confusion or excitement. Only through work on one of the cadet activities is one able to appreci- ate the Major fully. His efficiency and geniality cannot be overly praised, and his sincerity makes the picture just a little more complete. At times a person may be too en- thusiastic in praising a person, but in the case of Major McAlister, it appears impossible. He has proved himself master of every situation, and has yet to disappoint those who believe in him. In athletics and extra-curricular acti- vities with which he is connected, the Major has succeeded in initiating pro- gressive steps which lead to continu- ous and constant improvements. The staff of The Sphinx welcome the opportunity to express their apprecia- tion for his guidance through the year. BOARD IN CONTROL OF ATHLETICS Lt.-Col. Ralph C. Holliday Chairman Lt.-Col.

Playing for East Aurora (Illinois) High. Sabados made all-state guard in football for two years and was all-conference for three years. Freshman football proved that Andy deserved recog- nition. In his sophomore year he continued to improve. During that season, he played center, guard, tackle, and blocking back on the varsity. For his efforts he was awarded all-state guard and also given the Jacob ' s Block- ing Trophy for South Carolina. Sabados settled in the center berth his junior year and made all-state and all-southern center. Also, he was voted the best linesman in the state. Further honors were heaped upon him when he was listed as the seventh best center in the country and attained All-American mention. Despite the fact that, due to illness, he was out of the first five games his senior year, Andy played a remarkable game. It can be said that this man deserves credit for his loyalty and ability, for Sabados was an important cog in the machine that rolled along this season. The team, with Andy as its captain, defeated all state comers and won the right to be called State Champions of South Carolina, Sabados made the alternate All-American team on Williamson ' s scientific rating for the 1938 season. CITADEL 6; DAVIDSON 12 The Light Brigade opened their 1938 season with only two regulars in the line-up, Stubbs and Harsh- barger. After losing twenty-two lettermen from the 1937 edition, the cadets presented an inexperienced squad against an inspired, fighting bunch of Wildcats from the smaller college. It was an even game, but the David- sonians just wouldn ' t concede defeat. The visitors pushed the ball over the goal line in the first quarter and led at the half by the score of 6 to 0. In the third quarter. Graham Edwards started a drive from the twelve yard line and completed three out of three passes to place the ball on the Davidson eleven yard stripe. The last pass was the most spectacular play of the game when Graham passed to David who lateraled to Stubbs, resulting in a hip-swinging display on the part of that artist. Citadel failed to convert the extra point and the score was tied at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Davidson con- tinued to drive down the field in the last minutes and made the score twelve to six in their favor. When the game ended, the Davidson linesmen were successfully breaking through the line to rush Graham Edwards in his attempts at passing. The cadets were defeated, in a heart-breaking game, by a smaller fighting machine that couldn ' t be denied. [82] Cadet Tom Carey Manager Cadet Alex Oliphant Manager GEORGIA 20; CITADEL 12 The Light Brigade went to Athens literally shaking in their shoes. It was Coach Joe Hunt ' s debut at Georgia and rumors were that he was determined to show the ' crackers ' what a team he could produce. A ten-second backfield, averaging over 185 pounds, was the statistical threat facing the Brigadiers. Newspapers called it a breather for the Georgians, and even past contests between the school revealed that the cadets had never scored against their southern neigh bors. Georgia ' s ragged but forceful eleven marched down the field on several occasions, only to be stopped when they were in scoring position. However the bigger boys were able to run one across at the beginning of the second quarter. Immediately after receiving the returning kick- off. Acting Captain Graham Edwards started his passes that quickly made the score six all. Within five minutes, two successive passes from Edwards to David accounted for another touchdown. The score at the half stunned 7500 people with the cadets leading 12 to 6. In the second half, superior reserves and power enabled the shaken Georgia squad to push the score to 20 to 12, their favor. Running out of centers in the third quarter. Tatum Gressette spied a reserve player in the grandstand. He called J. C. ' Welling, too light to make the squad at first sight, to the bench and sent him in the game. Result was that Welling played a great game and the news- papers had a good feature story. A small band of cadet cheerers displayed a spirit of appreciation towards their team that has seldom been witnessed by any group. The game resulted in an empty victory for Georgia, and greater prestige for The Citadel for spirit and courage. Third rmv: Oliphant, Carey, Leach, Knotts, Ferris, McIntyre, Welling, DesChamps, Stewart, Payne, Shealy. Second row: Koob, David, Werden, Kennedy, Spain, McClellan, Browning, Stubbs, Burrows, Gamble. Front ro!v: Peebles, Southard, Eichholz, Maxwell, Gibson, Edwards, Foster, Sessions. WAKE FOREST 3 1 ; THE CITADEL The nightmare game of the season was played against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Charlotte. There is no excuse for the exhibition. The Light Brigade fought, but those Baptists just wouldn ' t stop. It was a rough, fast game, and the North Carolinians showed that sopho- mores can dish it out. Throughout the game, the ball went as the Demons willed. Never was The Citadel in a good scoring position, and it was by far the biggest defeat of the season. The Deacons succeeded in scoring 19 points in the first half, without showing any signs of tiring. In the third quarter. Graham Edwards reeled off runs of 1 6 and 21 yards on two con- secutive plays. However, that was stopped im- mediately by the bruising Demons. In the last quarter, the Wake Forest machine riddled the cadet rank for two more touchdowns to make the final score 31 to 0. Edwards and Stubbs played well, but never had an opportunity to get started. Although miserably defeated. The Citadel gained a great reputation in Charlotte by an exhibition immediately after the game. Over one hundred cadets who were witnessing the encounter swarmed the field when the final whistle blew. Every football player in a Citadel uniform was placed on the shoulders of heart- broken, fellow cadets who realized that The Citadel had been represented by a fighting, cour- ageous eleven that just couldn ' t stop the on- slaught. A great spirit of Citadel pride and respect for a man who tries was demonstrated to the advantage of future generations of cadets. PRESBYTERIAN 0; THE CITADEL 12 It was a cold night when the Blue Stockings invaded Charleston for their encounter with the Light Brigade. It was also the time for the cadets to break into the winning column, but it wasn ' t easy sailing. Presbyterian was the pre- [84] Southard, End Edwards, Back David, End dieted winner by many so-called wise sports writers. The Presbyterians had a heavier team than the cadets, and promised a real threat with a score of veterans on the squad. Gressette prom- ised the sporting world that The Citadel would take to the air against the avoirdupois. Throughout the first half the teams played on even terms. Everyone wondered when the pass- ing attack would begin, when the score stood nothing to nothing at the rest period. In the third period Gressette gave the signal for Edwards to uncork th passes. A pass to Southard from Edwards netted 15 yards; an- other forward from the same hurler to Stubbs gained 20 more yards, and the Blue Stockings were up in the air over the cadets taking to the air. Presbyterian took time out, and at that psychological moment the greatest roar ever to emit from the cadet cheering section arose. Andy Sabados, the sick captain, came into the game for the first time during the 1938 season. Edwards immediately drove to the one-yard line, and Stubbs plunged across. The fourth quarter saw Andy Sabados, play- ing a great game, intercept a Presbyterian pass. Immediately the Light Brigade started rolling down the field again. A long pass to Burrows failed, from P. C. ' s 23-yard line. Again, Ed- wards tried the same pass and the score was 12 to 0. The game, with all its excitement and razzle dazzle, ended with a satisfied corps return- ing to barracks before another score was possible. FURMAN 6; CITADEL 9 It was The Citadel ' s fate to play Furman on their Homecoming day in Greenville, and a con- fident and revenge-seeking group of Hurricane supporters eagerly awaited the day. Furman was predicted to win by several touchdowns, with their heavier and more experienced squad. How- ever, the Brigadiers were anything but afraid EicHHOLZ, Tackle BuRKOws, End Peebles, Back [85] of the whirl-wind on that day. The Light Brigade dug into the turf and actually advanced in the face of the Hurricane. No one man deserves all the credit for that game. Every player fought for yards at every minute of the game. Precision and cooperation saw the lighter team to victory with Graham Edwards passing and punting in remarkable fashion. The first score was made when The Citadel ' s forward wall swarmed over a Furman back who was trying to punt from behind his own goal line. The referee ruled it a safety for the cadets. The crowd was treated to an unusual spectacle when Furman elected to put the ball in play from their twenty-yard line by a punt. Receiving the ball on the Hurricane ' s forty- seven yard marker. Edwards faked a reverse to Stubbs and then flipped him a short pass into the left flat. Stubbs ran for almost thirty yards before being downed. In a beautiful end-around play, David took the ball to Furman ' s twelve. Edwards and Stubbs used the same fake reverse to score. Edwards scored the extra point on an end run play. The half ended with The Citadel leading 9 to 0. Furman came back in the third quarter but the Light Brigade kept them in their own terri- tory until the last quarter when Furman finally pushed a touchdown across. The cadets then started another passing attack which went to Furman ' s six yard line where the Hurricane was saved by a fumble. The game ended with a tired but happy squad of cadets winning by the score of 9 to 6. After the game, the players made Gressette the happiest man in the world by presenting him with the winning football. It had been many years since a Citadel team had defeated Furman two years in succession, and this coach was a pleased boy. TENNESSEE 44; CITADEL This Tennessee team of 1938 was without a doubt one of the smoothest machines in the [86] Harsh BARGER, Guard Spain, Center Stubbs, Back history of collegiate football. The game was not exciting at any moment, for the Light Brigade was completely outclassed by the heavier and faster eleven. The Volunteers finished their season without a loss against some of the strongest teams in the country. However, there is no reason to alibi for the loss. Its also super- fluous to state that the best team won. That ' s obvious. Only two cadets accompanied the squad, out- side the members of the football team. It was a lonely feeling that the players had as the opening kick-off sailed down ' the field. Never was the value of an organized cheering section so effectively impressed upon the Brigadiers; never will they crave support more than at that time. The Vols were a clean, hard group of gridiron stars that were more interested in per- fecting plays than running up a score. After the first half, both teams stopped trying to win, and settled down to practice the preachments of How to Win Friends ' . It was a game of experi- ence for the Brigadiers, and only a newspaper write-up hurt. However, the Vols wouldn ' t have been 44 points better under different circumstances, it is readily conceded by many authorities. They just had eight good teams, and the Light Brigade had two good teams. WOFFORD 0: CITADEL 27 The Brigadiers had little trouble in trampling a game, fighting group of Wofford Terriers at Charleston after being trampled the week before by Tennessee. The cadets were out for a score and they ran it up. Edwards was used sparingly in this game as Hank Foster was called into action. The cadet ' s first score came on a pass late in the first quarter when Edwards threw to Southard who lateraled to Stubbs. It was Parent ' s Day at The Citadel, and a large crowd saw the Light Brigade mov- ing smoothly and rapidly down the field. Dan Stubbs reeled off several long runs and little Ozzie Maxwell proved he could do almost any- . A. : ji-:CJi%£U M ■-• ' . i Sad Sabados, Center DesChamps, Guard Maxwell, Back [87] thing with a football. In the second quarter, the cadets rolled another touchdown up on end runs and line plunges. Foster and Edwards kept the Woffordites back with long range punts. The third quarter saw an ever-fighting group from the Spartanburg College continue to offer determined resistance, and the cadets had to wait until the fourth quarter to score. The ball began to move towards the Wofford goal and through a series of passes and runs, the Brigadiers scored two more touchdowns. Gressette sent every man in uniform in the game, which was exciting despite the lop-sided score. RICHMOND 0; CITADEL 6 The Richmond squad was a tough Southern Conference obstacle to hurdle but the Light Brigade came through in fine style before one of the smallest Homecoming Day crowds in years. Only a handful of grads were present to witness the under-dog Brigadier eleven win the game in the last half. The Spiders, smarting from a 26 to defeat of last year, came to Charleston expecting to see a dazzling aerial attack and hoping that they had the remedy. They saw the attack, and they couldn ' t quite stem the tide. However, they did offer much resistance, and proved a great problem to the cadets. David, Southard and Harshbargcr played their best game of the year against the Spiders, and it was a timely performance on the part of all three. Richmond started the game by a sustained drive which was halted only when they were within five yards of the cadet goal line. Then the game gradually shifted to the other end of the field. In the second quarter, the Brigadiers muffed an opportunity to score when there was a fumble almost on the Spider ' s goal line. The half ended with the score nothing all. Throughout the third quarter, the ball remained near the midfield stripe with both teams [88] Kennedy, Tackle Gibson, Back BxowNiNG, Back playing flawless, spectacular football. Early in the fourth quarter Graham Edwards set the stage for a touchdown when he heaved a forty yard pass to Bob David down on the Rich- mond ten yard line. A Spider back interfered with David and an official ruled that the ball was in The Citadel ' s possession at the spot of interference. It took four tries for the cadets to push the ball over for the only touchdown of the game, but the play was completed by a pass from Edwards to David who lateraled to Maxwell. It was a beautifully executed play that brought praise from all ' who witnessed its execution. Richmond started a drive but the cadets held, and the whistle blew with the ball at midfield. During the half, the corps of cadets pre- sented a series of card spelling tricks for the spectators. This coupled with an exhibition by the drill platoon brought much praise from the few alumni attending the game. OGLETHORPE 8; CITADEL 26 Oglethorpe had a fine drilled squad to present against the Light Brigade when the two teams played at Johnson-Hagood stadium. It was a hot day, but there were many people witness- ing the affray. There was little doubt through- out the game who would win, but the Petrels made a courageous stand against the superior cadets. Gressette used his best men throughout the game, and the Oglethorpe eleven, employ- ing a dipper-dipper shift, often made impressive gains. In the first quarter, Graham Edwards placed the ball on Oglethorpe ' s six in a spectacular gain, in which he hurdled several players before finally being caught from behind by a fast Petrel end. Browning ran the ball across on the second play, behind perfect interference. It was late in the second quarter before the Brigadiers broke into the scoring again, when Sabados intercepted a pass on Oglethorpe ' s thirty yard Foster, Back Stewaut, Guard Wehden, Tackle [89] marker. Stubbs went around end for ten, Max- well hit the center of the line for eight more, and a pass from Foster to Stubbs carried the ball across the line. On both occasions, the Light Brigade succeeded in the conversion and the half ended 14 to 0. Oglethorpe displayed power in the third quarter and drove down the field to score. How- ever, Southard smashed through to block the attempted kick for the extra point. The cadets came right back to score another for The Citadel when Edwards ran twenty-four yards around end. This was followed by a short pass to Bur- rows, who lateraled to Browning. With the ball on the Petrels six yard line, it took the cadets four tries to push it across. Stubbs ran it across on a reverse play, going through the center of the line. Again the Brigadiers scored, when David raced thirty yards with a pass to score standing late in the fourth quarter. The cadets became careless in the closing minutes and the stormy Petrels succeeded in obtaining a safety, when a cadet fumbled the pass from center. When the final whistle blew, the Light Brigade was marching down the field toward another goal. ERSKINE 13: CITADEL 33 The cadets took the Flying Fleet from Erskine a little too lightly and those fighting Seceders made the game most interesting for the cadets. The Seceders had only eighteen men on their squad, and deserve credit for displaying a great fighting spirit that was downed mainly by superior numbers. The first half ended with the score tied at 1 3 points each. In the second half, Gressette sent In Edwards, who had been held out because of injured ribs, to pass the team through. Immediately. Graham hurled one to David far down the field who was finally brought down on Erskine ' s twenty. A series of line plunges and end runs resulted in a score for The Citadel. The cadets again started down the field against a rapidly tiring Flying Fleet but the quarter ended with the ball ten yards from the goal. In the last quarter. Graham personally skirted the left end to score with two opponents trying to pull him down. In the middle of the period. Browning intercepted an Erskine pass to place the ball again in scoring position. The Erskinites were des perately trying to score when Elmer snapped their sustained drive. A short pass to Southard followed by another pass to Maxwell placed the ball on Erskine ' s eleven. Foster scored by an end run beginning with Browning who lateraled as he was being downed. This play was followed by the conversion when Jake Burrows booted the ball through the poles. The game ended with no further scoring. N. C. STATE 14; CITADEL 6 The last game of the season, played in Wil- mington, North Carolina, was one of the most exciting games of the season. State possessed a heavier, larger squad and was the heavy favorite by experts. A slight rain, hampering the cadet passing attack, made things appear even more in State ' s favor. The outlook was gloomy at the beginning of the game. The game started with the cadets immediately marching down the field with Dan Stubbs mak- ing a sensational run. State halted the drive and promptly drove down the field, to be resisted successfully on the cadet ' s twenty. Through a series of punts. Edwards was able to keep the ball around midfield throughout the first quarter. Most of the second quarter was played in the middle of the field. However, towards the end of the second period. Edwards shot a short pass to David who was downed on State ' s thirty- five yard line. Another pass to Southard placed the ball on State ' s twenty-two. Two plays advanced the ball only a few yards. David came from nowhere on an end-around play to elude desperate State tacklers and score standing. The half ending with a hoping, fighting cadet eleven ahead 6 to 0. In the second half. State ' s great back. Art Rooney returned a punt 65 yards to place the ball in scoring position. The State ace pro- ceeded to pound through the line eventually to score. State made the conversion and the score stood 7 to 6 in favor of State. In the fourth period. Citadel marched to midfield. and Ed- wards completed a pass to David to place the ball on State ' s thirteen. David was roughed at this moment, but there was no ruling. Citadel ' s threat died there. Ty Coon. State guard, crashed through to block and recover a Citadel punt to lead State to its final score. Rooney, in three plays, pushed the ball to the four yard mark. It took four more downs to give the Wolfpack another touchdown. The Carolinians succeeded in the extra point and the score was 14 to 6. The game ended and the cadets were again in possession of a moral victory against a far superior eleven which had received all the breaks. 11 rf.o-- ' , , ' ri WE ATTEND THE THANKSGIVING HOP STANDING HOP COMMITTEE The Standing Hop Committee this year is the largest in the history of the school. The need for a large committee was real- ized when the promotion of all hops and messhalls was entrusted to this group. The committee is representative of the three upper classes, consisting of eight seniors, four juniors and three sopho- mores, all elected by popular vote in their respective classes. This new arrangement, of one committee for all dances, seems to have accomplished the purpose for which it was intended. It tends to bring about a more systematic and efficient promotion of dances. Taken as a whole, the current school year has seen the finest array of dance orchestras ever to play at Citadel Hops. The Standing Hop Committee, under the capable leadership of Ed Black, has done much to promote better dances, and through a careful budget has provided the corps with a maxi- mum entertainment at a minimum expense. We realize the impossibility of pleasing everyone and we know that the com- mittee has received its share of criticism. In view of the fact that criticism this year has reached a new low, we assume authority, and for the whole corps we highly commend the Hop Committee for the work it has done. h ' runt rent ' , left to riijht : Jknkins, t,li.i., Mkaks, Kilir.ici.r., iU.M:K, i tutirman, liKNNKii-, llAi.i., IIahki Back row, left to right: Erness, Worrill, Davis, Elliott, Gorham, Willahu, Oliveros.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARRIVE THE CHRISTMAS HOP It came upon a midnight clear . . . Carols and a Christmas tree signify all that make up the most eagerly awaited season of the year. It ' s the beginning of a holiday that carries with it the true feeling of Peace on Earth. Good Will Towards Men. Whether in school, city, village or some remote corner of the World the spirit is the same. It creates a feelmg of reverence that cannot be missed, but along with this feeling is the thought of a round of gay social functions. A combination of the two is exemplified on these pages . With the spirit of the holidays in the air, the Christmas Hop gets under way. Perhaps only second to graduation for the Senior, this occasion announces the beginnmg of a new era. The Senior is presented with his class rmg. and with it goes the realization of the approaching end of four eventful and happy years. ' Silent Night, Holy Night . . JUNIORS BECOME PROMINENT With the passing of the Christmas holidays and the beginning of a new year, members of the Junior Class emerge from the obscurity of underclass activities to attain prominence on the campus. In every phase of cadet life the juniors are closely watched and tutored by Senior Officers and campus leaders to prepare them for the important positions for which they are destined. By the end of the school year, editors and staff members for all publications must be chosen, cadet officers for the following year are appointed, captains for athletic teams will have been elected, and all of the many necessary posi- tions connected with the efficiency and prestige of The Citadel must be filled. According to customs and traditions, all of these places must be filled by members of the rising Senior Class. The senior leaves a hard place to fill, and before leaving he must be sure that his successor will carry on with the same unselfish, determined spirit that enables The Citadel to retain its rightful place among the colleges of the nation. For this reason, much care is taken by the seniors in their selection: they endeavor by care- ful analysis to select the best cadet possible. Military officers place responsibility on the non- commissioned officers to determine their reaction; editors of publications carefully weigh the merits of their staff assistants, and athletic teams, at the close of the season, turn their eyes toward the juniors for leadership during the coming year. Not all of the stress should be put on school activities. At the beginning of this new era a change takes place within each member of the Junior Class; he begins to realize the import- ance of his responsibility and becomes more mature in its meaning. Truly the juniors inherit a degree of prominence and they will ever strive to make it more pronounced. E. G. Eason J. E. Burrows • [96] Edwin M. Adams Clio, S. C. History — Plat. Sgt., Co. B.

A small pocket-size volume of valuable information, its primary pur- pose is to give the new cadets a complete, though brief, picture of the college, the corps, and the traditions and customs which make The Citadel what it is today. Although it is essen- tially a volume for freshmen, it holds in store a supply of concise facts and valuable information for all cadets. This is the last year that this publication will be known as The Palmetto, as its name has now been officially changed to The Guidon; however, the basic form and thought of the publication will remain the same.

Since its organizations in 1927, it has been a prominent institution on the campus. In recent years, because of the high calibre of its membership and because of its activeness, it has become recognized as a most meritorious society. To become a member is considered by the Corps to be quite an achievement. As originally formed the primary function of the society was to hold regular meetings for the purpose of discussing intelligently questions of current importance. That is still the primary purpose of the Society. The topics dis- cussed are quite broad and of diversified interests. They include such spheres as college activities, politics, sociology, and philosophy. Another function of the Society, and one which has been accomplished by the enviable achievements of its members, is to stimulate scholarship and leadership among the cadets. The Society ' s membership is limited to twenty-five cadets. There arc usually ten men from the Senior Class, six from the Junior Class, and four from the Sophomore Class. Five other members may be selected at random from the two upper classes. To become a member one must be approved by a faculty board and then voted in by the society. Qualities considered in choosing members are scholarship, leadership, forensic ability, and personality. Each year several faculty members are elected to membership for that year. They take an active part in discussions and prove very beneficial to the ScKiety. This year the Society has been especially active. Bi-weekly meetings have been held regularly, and all of the members have shown much interest in the Society ' s activities. First row: Ellison, Oliveros, Drum MONO, Bennett.

Prevost, Curtis, Midkiff, Barron. The Calliopean Literary Society is the only literary organi- zation of its kind on the campus which is easily accessible to all cadets. At the same time, it is the largest literary organiza- tion on the campus. Any cadet who shows an interest in forensic activities, attends three meetings in succession, and is satisfactory in his academic work is eligible for membership. The meetings of this Society arc held bi-weekly, and there are three ways in which they are generally conducted. The first is by the use of debates, which are conducted with unusual vitality; next, by regular speeches, with several cadets present- ing talks on designated topics: and lastly, by panel discussions. Every member has an opportunity to offer his bit to the dis- cussion after the prepared talks have been rendered and the floor has been thrown open for discussion. Therefore, every cadet who is interested in forensic activities has an opportunity to develop himself in public speaking and debating. The society annually reserves its first meeting in March for the purpose of selecting the cadet who will represent The Citadel in the South Carolina Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest which is held each Spring. Any cadet is allowed to participate in this contest. Then too, a debating team is sponsored by the society.

CADET ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The Cadet Activities Committee, the central governing body for the improvements of the several activities relative to cadet life at The Citadel, has a place of definite importance in the organization of the college. This Committee, appointed by the President, is composed of five cadets, one of whom acts as chairman, the Commandant of Cadets, two faculty officers, one tactical officer, and the Director of Cadet Affairs. The com- mittee has supervision over cadet publications and general cadet activities under which heading fall the following: supervision of all dances, the pressing club, canteen, glee club, cadet orchestra, recreational facilities, and the janitor service in barracks. The chief duties of this committee lies in the auditing of the accounts of these various activities, authorizing expenditures for the various publications and some of the activities, and the authori- zation of the appropriations for these named. It is not uncommon for the committee to be called upon to make investigations into certain phases of cadet life and activities. Recommendations are made as to how improvements in the efficiency of the swimming pool, track, gymnasium, tennis courts, golf course, and other activities that it controls can be made. Therefore, one readily sees that this committee is an essential part of the college administration. N [114] The disciplinarian of the corps and a vital factor in the maintenance of the estabHshed codes of Citadel men, the Regi- mental Cadet Committee has won for itself a high position in the corps. Standards of honor and integrity in any large group must be self-imposed and must be accepted by a large majority of the individuals composing that group. Allegations of infringements of these established standards and, frequently, reports of serious violations of cadet regulations are investigated and acted upon by this cadet tribunal. The findings of this com- mittee, with appropriate recommendations and suggestions are submitted to the Commandant of Cadets for necessary action. This committee is ably supported by the college officials and its findings are always recognized. Immediately under the Regimental Cadet Committee are the Battalion Cadet Committees which have jurisdiction over the more serious offenses in barracks, but not the type of such grave importance that action must be taken by the Regimental Cadet Committee. Next in line of organization are the Com- pany Cadet Committees which have jurisdiction over minor cases which arise in their respective units.

A. again sails a smooth course that is featured by Christian service. Once again, under the expert guidance of its general Secretary, J. M. Leland, it renders its invaluable service to the Corps of Cadets. These services are so innumerable that it is impossible to attempt to name them in so short a space. Among others, these listed below are best known to the Cadet. With Mr. J. M. Leland and his assistant secretary, George Pridmore, and assisting cadets in charge, the Citadel Post Office is efficiently operated. Often throughout the day can the cry of Mail up, Zeke? be heard at the Post Office. In connection with this is the Y Bank. This is a place where a Cadet is sure that his money is safe. An important program sponsored by the Y is its Bible Study Course. This course was given during the first semester and all Cadets were invited to attend the classes. The dassses were conducted by ministers of the Charleston churches and by members of the Citadel faculty. On the completion of a course the Cadet is awarded a certificate. Every cadet at The Citadel is a member of the Citadel Y. M. C. A. and every cadet sup- ports it and its programs with his full strength. First row: SrRi ' GGS. Plowdrn. W ' eston, I, eland.

Through the combined efforts of the Citadel ' s coaching staff, the college authorities, and the Corps of Cadets, a program of Intramural athletics was inaugurated in 1936, and has since developed into one of the finest programs of its type in the country. Governing the activities of this program is the Intra- mural Board in Control of Athletics, composed of the Chair- man of the Athletic Board, the Director of Athletics, the Direc- tor of Cadet Affairs, and several cadet members appointed by the Director of Athletics. This selection is made with great precision and care, since the responsibility for the success of the program lies mainly in the hands of the cadet members. It is the duty of this Board to publish all regulations gov- erning the contests, and to require all participants to abide by them. If protests from any party arises, the Board reviews the case and hands down its decision. All complaints are heard and ruled on accordingly. After the program has been completed at the end of the school year, final computations are made and the Board announces the place winners. Trophies are awarded the winners by a member of the Board at a special ceremony held during Senior Week.

GLEE CLUB Whenever music is in demand, call on Mr. Princeton Dauer. If he is unable to furnish it personally, he will certainly call upon the well-known and well-liked Citadel Glee Club. This organization is very popular on the campus, for it is through it that the corps is often entertained. Long will be remem- bered the special selections that it has offered during Chapel exercises and other special services. Mr. Dauer is doing much to uphold the standards of Mr. Ivar Skougaard, last year ' s director, and, at the same time, add much more to them in an attempt to have the best organization in the history of the college. With Cadet Herman L. Singletary as special soloist and Cadet Hap Hwozdewich as master of the violin, the Glee Club offers to its audiences two special features that are seldom sur- passed. Aided by. the Cadet Orchestra, the Glee Club is able to present a concert that is comparable to the best. Annually this organization makes a tour of various colleges and cities throughout the state, presenting its interesting and varied programs. Besides this, it often performs at the neigh- boring churches and other special ceremonies. [118] The Bulldog Orchestra, one of the most completely equipped college bands in the South and the best orchestra The Citadel has ever had, was under the capable direction this year of Ed Louden. Besides entertaining the Corps at mess halls with its soft rhythm on many of what would have otherwise been rather dull week-ends, this talented and versatile band played for numerous dances in the Southeast, and has become very popular throughout this section. Last summer the orchestra took an extended tour to Europe, playing at several of the larger night spots and also furnish- ing the music aboard ship on its voyage to and from the Old Country. The Boys in the White Mess-Jackets featured as their vocalists this year the Girl in Blue, Miss Marguerite Neece, and Hap Hwozdewich. Special arrangements, which were to the delight of all listeners, were done by Ed Baldwin. All members of the Orchestra were talented in their special lines: Louden on the trombone: Albritton, Anderson, and Christeson on the trumpets: Thomas, Peatross, Baldwin, and Patterson on the saxophones: Martin on the piano: Evans on the drums: and Hwozdewich on the violin and the bass fiddle.

[119] RING COMMITTEE Due to the near catastrophe that met the immediate predeces- sors of the Senior Class, a new system was devised for the adoption of class rings. A committee of five seniors was elected by poular vote of their class, and to this group was entrusted the sole responsibility of the selection of the ring. Mears as chairman, with Cobb, Jackson, Lott, and Padgett composing the remainder of the committee, were to select a design, material for the ring, and then award the contract to some jeweler. Naturally, the findings of this committee were presented to the Senior Class for approval. After testing rings, interviewing jewelry company representatives, and tentatively making changes in the make-up of the ring itself, the coveted contract was awarded in March, 1938. With the consent of the Senior Class, certain specific changes were made in the ring design. The hilt of the sword was turned down instead of up, as in the previous rings, the old design signifying defeat. The rings were pre- sented at the Christmas Hop, but without the individual osculatory ceremonies that marked the presentation of the rings to the Seniors of ' 37.

Although several cadet and faculty members of the Depart- me nt of Business Administration had contemplated organizing an honor society within the department since the beginning of the school year, it was not until March 10, 1939, that eight cadets met with the faculty members of the department at the home of Colonel Lewis to discuss plans for the society. By the end of April the constitution and by-laws had been drawn up and adopted and the society given the official approval of the President and the Board of Visitors. The membership of the society consists of the Business Administration faculty and cadets specializing in Business Administration who have attained a high scholastic standing. The purposes of the Economics Honor Society as set forth in the constitution are as follows: To give recognition to excellence in scholarship in the field of Economics and Business Administration; To promote and stimulate scholarship in this field of interest; To encourage the investigation and discussion of economic and business problems; To encourage students to enter graduate schools and to assist in securing scholarships; To aid in the placement of its graduating members.

PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY The Citadel Chapter of the South Carolina Association of Junior Biologists was formed on the night of May 23, 1938 by the members of the Junior Class taking the pre-medical elective. This chapter is a member of the South Carolina Associ- ation of Junior Biologists, which has as its nucleus the mother chapter at the University of South Carolina, formed in the spring of ' 38. It is the purpose of this organization to pro- mote and stimulate interest in Biological and pre-medical work at The Citadel, and at the same time to create contacts among those engaged in this field of work in South Carolina. Such a plan tends toward greater unity and more cooperation among members of the profession. The society has meetings at least once each month, and has as its members those students of The Citadel who have taken a course in Zoology. Members present talks on appropriate subjects, and from time to time visiting speakers are invited to address the society. To culminate the year ' s work a state-wide meeting is held in the spring of each year. The society has rounded out a successful year led by H. L. Singletary, the president, whose efforts led to the society ' s organization. It is an established fact that the society is doing much to prepare the pre-medical student for the study of medicine. [122] The International Relations Club, limiting its membership to students in the Department of History and Political Science, purports to stimulate rational interpretation of events occurring in public and international affairs. To be eligible for member- ship, cadets must maintain satisfactory grades and evince par- ticular interest in public affairs. These eligibility requirements make the club a select group. Organized in 1938 under the presidency of Cadet W. C. Crawford, the club has since become one of the most active organizations of its type in this section. During its one year ' s existence it has sponsored delegations to the conferences held at Chapel Hill, N. C, in 1938, and at Williamsburg, Va., in 1939. The faculty of the History and Political Science Department and selected faculty members of the Business Administration Department hold honorary mem- berships in the club. Major J. K. Coleman, Professor of Political Science and adviser, has been largely responsible for the creation and activity of the organization. Officers for the 1938-39 school year are Cadet M. A. Parrott, President; Cadet W. M. Murphy, Vice-President: and Cadet N. A. Terry, Secretary. The club has approximately thirty-five members.

[123] Until November, 1937, The Citadel lacked one of the most popular of the usual college organizations — a camera club. In its place among the most picturesquely situated colleges in the South, The Citadel has always afforded excellent opportuni- ties to those cadets interested in photography. The purpose of The Focus has been not only to help furnish cadets with the proper equipment to process their own pictures, but also to act as a medium of exchange of ideas for those interested in the hobby. It provides a means for conducting organized print exhibits and competitions, and for enabling its members to participate in excursions to the gardens and other places of photographic interest so numerous near The Citadel. It has also been able to obtain for its members illustrated lectures on various phases of photography which have aided them in improving their pictures. Much interest in the popular hobby of photography is present at The Citadel, and The Focus has grown from about a dozen members at the first meeting in 1937 to nearly fifty active members in the spring of 1939, and it promises to continue its progress in succeeding years.

Although there were a number of cadets flying prior to this academic year, January, 1939. witnessed the first official meet- ing of cadet flying enthusiasts as an organized group. This was brought about by a small group of cadets led by Bob David with the aid of Coach Tatum Gressette. The Aero Club rapidly grew and at the end of the year there were over seventy cadets who had either obtained their solo license or were receiving instructions toward this end. Several had qualified for their pilot ' s license, and two had been admitted to the U. S. Army Air School. At the time of organizing, the sixty-five members elected Bob David as president. Cadet Billy Graham was elected vice- president, J. R. Wiley, secretary and treasurer, and Jerome Eichholz as publicity agent for the remainder of the year. These men succeeded in piloting the club to a prominent position on the campus, and interest was maintained at a high level. Coach Tatum Gressette consented to be faculty adviser, and it was not long before he was soloing. The club has given evidence of its usefulness and has an active, interesting group of members who are determined to continue as a progressive organization.

[126] BASKETBALL William K. Toby Holt Captain The Citadel quintet successfully completed the 1939 season and won the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP with eleven wins out of twelve contests. The cadets were a close second last year, and lost the crown that year by a margin of only one game. Since the 1938 championship was so close at one time and lost in one of the closing games of the season, the prognosticators were reluctant to predict the cadets the present year champions. Even members of the corps of cadets breathed a sigh of relief when the final game was ended, and the squad was awarded a well deserved rest. It takes more than luck to become STATE CHAMPIONS, and especially can the honor be appreciated when one knows that one of the teams towered over by the cadets was Southern Con- ference Champions. Much credit must go to Coach Rock Norman who consistently tutors excellent teams that are always near the top in the state race. This year Rock had to produce an exceptional squad, for there wasn ' t a weak team in the state. Every squad was eager to defeat the cadet quintet, and it appeared that some squad would finally oust The Citadel from the number one position. However, Rock played his men well, and maintained the lead throughout the season. He was wise in his selection and use of men, but credit goes to these cadets who were available and responded to the call. Norman played seven men carefully, and by using them in such a manner as to keep them from becoming listless or tired he was able to pre- vent any great slump. The seven men were Holt, Gilbert, Propst, Wilson, Burrows, Freeman and Sims. These men were all stars, and every one can be cited as the spark for some game during the season. These were supported by other talented basketeers who lacked the experience of the first seven. With such an aggregation and a good coach The Citadel possessed a consistent winner that plowed through a stormy, suicidal schedule to be awarded the laurels of STATE CHAMPIONS. Miss Francis Jennings Sponsor Charles M. Champ Gilbert Alternate Captain [127] Norman and his men took a northern trip just before the Christmas fur- lough, and met Duke University in their first encounter. The outcome of the show was 49 to 37, the Bulldogs losing. It was a slow game with all the players tense. Fouls were numerous and both teams made every mistake possible. Jake Burrows vied with Swindell of Duke for top honors with 1 3 points. However, the next night gave the cadets an opportunity to show their power. Coming in contact with Richmond University, reputedly Virginia ' s best, the Bulldogs surprised everyone by giving the blue-bloods a fast game that ended in a complete rout. Citadel ' s victory gave Richmond their first home defeat since 1936. The score was 39 to 24 with Burrows scoring 16 for the military college. Moving from Richmond to Washington, Holt and his squad met George Washington University on a Saturday night. The capital quintet won a fast game. The cadets were never in the lead, and the final score was 46 to 35. Burrows was high scorer for the game with 1 2 points. The squad remained in Washington over the week-end and staged a fast battle with Catholic University on Monday night. In this encounter the cadets fully redeemed their defeat of the week-end by running away with the game. At the middle of the second half The Citadel was 17 points in the lead, and Coach sent the reserves to the floor. This failed to slow the team, and the final score read 48 to 37. Burrows scored 13 points. In the first home engagement, which was played in early January, Alumni Hall was packed with 2,000 spectators. Furman was the unfortunate victim that night, but the team had to fight for a 28 to 32 victory. The entire team played well, but Furman was functioning smoothly. Burrows scored 16 points, while Holt distinguished himself by his defensive play. The team then entertained South Carolina ' s Gamecocks. In the first few minutes of play the cadets had rolled up a score of 10 to 1. However, the University squad fought back and the half saw Citadel leading 18-16. South • PROPST, Guard Holt, Forward Gilbert, Guard Carolina surged ahead in the second half by 7 points. Burrows started ringing them and the final gong found the score tied. In the extra time, the cadets made the score 40 to 37 to eke out a much-needed win. The next affray was with Wofford ' s Terriers who boasted of a strong team. The accolades just, and the cadets trailed at the half by the score of 21 to 15. However, Norman talked his squad out of their early-game lethargy and two minutes after the second half started the score was tied. Burrows, Wilson and Holt were outstanding in the victory which ended with the score of 44 to 32. Burrows was high scorer with 15 points; Flynn of Wofford was second with 12 tallies. Newberry was the next team on the schedule, and the Indians were just as good as Wofford. Both teams were extraordinarily strong. The cadets won 43 to 36. Over 1800 spectators saw the Bulldogs jump to an early lead that they never lost. The Bucks led at the half by 1 1 points, and the whole squad saw action before the end the game. Norman ' s ' shock ' troops surprised the spectators as well as the opposition. Cuppola of Newberry was high scorer 14 points. The team took to the road and met Presbyterian College at their first stop. The Bucks started slowly and things looked gloomy at the half. They came back in the second half to squeeze a 39 to 37 score out of the Blue Stockings. Burrows and Holden tied for top honors with 14 points each. The next stop was Davidson and the cadets met their second Southern Conference defeat by the score of 46 to 32. The Wildcats were slow in finding the basket and The Citadel was far in the lead at the end of the first 12 minutes. However, it didn ' t take Davidson long to tie the score, and the half found the cadets trailing by 2 points. Davidson never faltered through the second half, and a late spurt on the part of the Bulldogs was futile. Clemson came to Charleston and the crowd came to Alumni Hall. Nearly 3,000 fans jammed the gymnasium to see one of the most exciting games of the Burnett, Guard Wilson, Center HOCKENBURY, Forward season in which the cadets practically cinched the championship by winning 42 to 38. Spectators favoring both schools cheered their champions. Bedlam prevailed, but the cadets weren ' t nervous. Both teams handled the ball well, but Clemson had to rely on long shots for their tallies. Burrows was the man of the night with 20 points. Banks McFadden proved himself a man and won the admiration of the cadets by continuing his performance after painfully wrenching his wrist. By trimming the Gamecocks in Columbia by the score of 50 to 38 the Bulldogs kept their state record of no defeats intact. The cadets took an early lead and left the floor at the half with the score 3 2 to 16. Alexander and Hutto started sinking them in the second half for South Carolina, but Burrows matched their points and the game was never in danger. Burrows made 1 7 points while Propst scored 13. The team then ventured to Spartanburg where they encountered Wofford ' s team for the return engagement. It was a slow battle, and the lead see-sawed throughout the afl ray. The cadets started sinking shots in the late stage of the game and the final score read Citadel 31 — Wofford 23. The Bucks played their third out-of-town game in as many nights the next evening when they trimmed Furman ' s Purple Paladins by the lop-side score of 56 to 34. Burrows made 15 points during the affair, but Captain Toby Holt tallied 21 to be the leading scorer. After the Furman game the team returned immediately to the campus, and entertained Davidson ' s great team. The cadets got revenge in their own back- yard for the beating the Cats administered to them at Davidson. A smooth, well-timed and straight-shooting quintet toyed with the Wildcats for a few minutes and then deluged the visitors with shots from every direction. The final score was 45 to 30, and Jake Burrows contributed 19 points for the squad. However, no one man stole the show. It was a perfect combination from Burrows, Forward Freeman, Forward Sims, Guard irsf- Propst to Holt, Holt to Wilson. Wilson to Gilbert, Gilbert to Burrows and then, consistently, a goal. After the brilliant performance against Davidson, the squad journeyed to Clemson to face the fast-shooting Tigers. The Clemson aggregation was faced with the possibilities of a Southern Conference tournament bid, and came out with the determination to do-or-die. They succeeded in completely routing the cadets and The Citadel lost their first state game of the season by the score of 51 to 36. Although defeated, the Bulldogs were still in the lead in the state race. However, Newberry stood in the way of the title, and almost threw the team out of the race. It was a slow game, despite the high score. The cadets were trailing at the half by the score of 1 9 to 25. Rock Norman pleaded with his boys, and they came through in the second half to win by the margin of one point. The final score was 49 to 48, and Norman was a nervous wreck. The cadets had one more game before the state race was finished, and they moved into Clinton for the encounter. The corps of cadets back home anxiously awaited the outcome, and 2,000 spectators witnessed the game. Presbyterian was the team predicted to knock The Citadel out of the race. Norman ' s boys surprised everyone, nevertheless, and took an early lead. The half score was 28 to 18 in favor of the cadets, and the final score found the Bucks winning the game 55 to 39. It also made The Citadel State Champions with only one loss in twelve encounters. The cadets were seeded number three in the Southern Conference tourna- ment, but struck a snag in their first encounter. North Carolina State ' s aggrega- tion proved to be Citadel ' s nemesis and eked out a 40-38 victory from the cadets. The team was slow in starting and the half found State leading by 7 points. The score w as tied late in the second half, but State jumped ahead and the Bucks were never able to catch them. It was a close game and it was a guess throughout the second half as to the outcome. • LOCKWOOD, Forward PEDERSEN, Guard Benson, Manager BOXERS GO INTO ACTION H. L.

Lyons Sponsor CITADEL 5 : NORTH CAROLINA 3 Opening their 1939 season with the Tar Heel squad in Charleston, the green cadet squad surprised spectators with their ability. In defeating the North Carolina pugilists, the cadets won over a fine squad which later had a fine season. Clarence Peeler started the ball rolling for the cadets by defeating McFalls in a close match. Peeler lost the first round and came back to whip his man in the other two rounds. Dick Bagnal lost the closest fight of the night when Andy Gennett was awarded the decision over the cadet midget. Bagnal won the second round, and both fighters were rather tired and cautious in the last two minutes. Jack Padgett, fighting his first varsity fight for the cadets, won an easy victory over Jones, to place The Citadel again in the lead. The fight showed Padgett ' s whirlwind tactics which always caught the man with a hard right. Henry Carrison, fighting for the first time, was out of his class when he opposed the ring-wise Tar Heelian. Carrison, a sophomore demonstrated game- ness and calmness throughout the three rounds, despite the fact that U. N. C. was awarded every round. Dick Ulrich, another inexperienced sophomore making his debut, had to extend himself to win over his opponent. However, the decision was not close and Dick surprised the spectators with his powerful right. Captain Jack Lyons, displaying his experience and ability, was complete master of the show for three rounds against Farrist. A slow, uneventful bout with little doubt as to the outcome. Linwood Duncan, a junior fighting for the first time, displayed coolness and fierceness in his assault. Duncan employed rights and lefts from the first round to the end of the bout and was awarded an easy victory. Roger Harshbarger, another neophyte, gave Ed Hubbard of North Carolina three rounds of hard fighting. Roger started off fast to win the first round; Hubbard, easily the more experienced, won the other two rounds the hard way. CITADEL 51 ; P. C. IVi Clarence Peeler started slowly in his fight against the Blue Stocking fighter to lose the first round. Coming out in the second round. Peeler changed his tactics. Decision was a draw. Presbyterian offered a fast, hard-hitting maniac in the second round. Jack Leonard, fighting in Bag- nal ' s weight, put up a game fight, but failed to stop the onslaught. An easy P. C. victory. Jack Padgett continued his whirlwind methods against his opponent, and successfully defended his record. Padgett ' s right continually landed on the left ear, and the fight was a slaughter. Kerrison fought against P. C. ' s Knockout Artist Sutton desperately, but in vain. Midway of the thir d round Kerrison was dropped momentarily and the fight was conceded by The Citadel. Dick Ulrich won an easy decision from his adver- sary. Although Dick was too tense, his form was perfect when one considered his lack of experience. Bush Peebles Manager [133] a Jack Lyons drew a forfeit to cop a much-needed point for the Bulldogs, to place the cadets in the lead. Linwood Duncan continued to amuse the spectators with his nonchalant manner. However, Duncan showed aggressiveness and power in gaining a technical knock-out in the second round to place the team securely in the front. Harshbarger came through to decision Buie in one of the surprise matches of the evening. To offset reach and height, Roger employed a smashing over- hand right that kept his opponent dazed. CITADEL 4; TENNESSEE 4 Tennessee offered an improved team against the cadets a nd scored a major upset by drawing with The Citadel in Knoxville. Peeler continued his undefeated record by battling through three rounds of hard fighting to decision Campbell. It was a slug fest and kept the fans yelling throughout the affair. Dick Bagnal broke into the win column by decisioning Love, a fast and experienced Volunteer, Another fight that was decided by the third round. Jack Padgett ' s flying fists flew into Wood of Tennessee, but seemingly to no avail. However, it was a close fight in which Tennessee was awarded the decision. Martin of Tennessee won over Ulrich by a close decision. Martin was a cagy, cool fighter who out-pointed the cadet with harmless but effective punches. Jack Lyons pummeled his opponent around the ring for three rounds to continue his winning streak. At times it appeared that Tennessee would have to throw in the towel. Molinski of Tennessee found Harshbarger a problem in the first round, but used his superior reach to good advantage and won the decision to make the match a draw. CITADEL 3: CLEMSON 5 The most exciting boxing match in years was dramatized at Alumni Hall, The Citadel, when Clemson ' s Southern Conference champions met Citadel ' s • Lyons, 5r. Middle Weight Harshbarger, Unlimited Ulrich, Jr. Middle Weight ' If lirff i runner-ups. Clemson was the heavy favorite, by press predictions. People were turned away from the door and an S. R. O. sign was hanging from the ticket office long before the first fight started. Its impossible to portray the scenes in writing as the fights were enacted. Needless to say, the cadets gave Clemson a battle and the fights were the talk of the town for weeks. Citadel proved itself a team stronger than any person could have imagined. Peeler fought Berry to a draw. Berry opened a cut over Peeler ' s eye in the second frame. Peeler came back strong in the third to tie up the points. Bagnal won his fight over Bradley to give The Citadel the lead. The cadet was awarded the first and third rounds, and the second was called a draw. Bradley was wobbling at the end of the third round. Ross of Clemson was awarded the decision over Padgett in the third fight. Both boys were aggressive, and Padgett ' s whirlwind kept going throughout. Ross, who had a reputation for his string of victories was given the referee ' s nod on points. Bradley of Clemson put the A. i i E. squad in the lead by hanging up a victory over Worth. This was another close fight which kept the crowd on its feet most of the time. Both boys showed excellent form: Worth displayed a well-developed left. Another decision won on points. Tension was high in the gymnasium when Dick Ulrich stepped in the ring against Rion of Clemson. Both men came out fighting, and it was a slug-fest for three rounds. Ulrich went to his knees in the second but came back to off ' set the points lost by the count. Rion was awarded the decision on points, although it was evident that his opponent was less impressed by the effects of the exchange of blows. Bill Cason, the Clemson captain, won a clean and decisive victory over Jack Lyons, Citadel captain. Cason ' s crushing right got to Lyon ' s head in the latter part of the first round and from then on it was a pure show of power against evasiveness and nerve. Duncan drew with Warren Wilson, considered one of the greatest fighters in the country. With the advantage of reach, Duncan kept his opponent off with a sure left. PADGETT, Light Weight Peeler, Bantam Weight Duncan, Light Heavy Roger Harshbarger literally flew into Covington when the initial gong rang in the heavyweight bout. By continually pressing his man, Roger kept him on the defensive. Smashing rights had Covington dazed at the end of the first and third rounds. A decisive victory for Roger. CITADEL 3: SOUTH CAROLINA 5 The final match of the season took place in Columbia before a packed house. The cadets provided ample opposition to the Gamecocks, and lost nothing in prestige for their gameness and sportsmanship. It was a thrilling climax to a successful season. Peeler won a decision over Harrelson by a wide margin. The cadet chalked up many points on counter-punches, and beat the University fighter at his own game. McCready won a close decision over Bagnal in three action-filled rounds. Bagnal took the third round but lost the first two frames. Carleo decisioned Padgett to place South Carolina in the lead. However, Padgett surprised scribes and spectators by his performance against the veteran pugilist. Legate of South Carolina put the match on ice by decisioning Worth. The two fighters fought on even terms throughout most of the fight, Worth employing his certain left: Legate throwing a devastating right. Experience was just a little too much for The Citadel. Dick Ulrich scored another point for the military squad by winning a clean decision over Beall. It was a slow fight for the most part, although the third round found things revolving rapidly. Hughes won by a default for South Carolina, as Lyons was withheld by doctor ' s orders. Linwood Duncan did the expected when he defeated McCarter. However, few people would have predicted a technical knockout in the first few seconds of the second round. Duncan proved he had a left and a right, which was effective against the best fighters. Roger Harshbarger lost one of the closest fights of the season to Dirflinger of South Carolina. It was a slug-fest throughout. BAGNAL, Feather Weight Worth, Welter Weight KERRISON, Welter Weight BOOSTERS The number of cadets and Charles- ton basketball enthusiasts who flocked to the games during the past season were ample proof of the excellent support the Bulldogs received. The quintet had seven state or Southern Conference games in Alumni Hall and won them all. Local newspapers commented on the fact that the cadet five could defeat any opponent when it was playing on its own court and before the local crowd. The spectators played a part in the games, as that comment states. Every game found an excited crowd, a group cheering the five throughout the game, that lent color to the con- test. Such scenes as students, girls, or alumni standing or sitting on the edge of the seats was a common sight dur- ing the suspense filled occasions of almost every game. Scores reveal the close contests, but there was no score sheet to show how the spectator fared. However, the fact that the same people came to observe game after game acted somewhat as a barometer to their interest returns. Occasionally the game appeared one-sided, and in these few moments of monotony the spectators would converse. During the rest periods The Citadel Band would blare forth with some lively march to contribute more color to the affair. Every game left some memory with the cadets who participated as spectators, and the squad found Alumni Hall its Hall of victory with Nemesis sitting on the visiting team ' s bench.

In the next few pages are the twelve girls selected by The Corps of Cadets of The Citadel as the most beau- tiful of the 126 entered in a contest sponsored by the SPHINX to determine what pictures would adorn the Beauty Section. All types are represented in this section . . . not because it was planne d that way, but because the cadets voted that way. Some cadets preferred gorgeous blondes with exquisitely formed features: others liked brunettes with a dash of sweetness thrown in. Some men found vivacious and wistful expressions more to their liking. But all demanded beauty. That is the one characteristic of a girl that never changes, except with time. A woman may be as fickle as a spring zephyr, but she can ' t change her beauty as she does her mind. The beauty in these pages will never change. It has been captured from life, and it will live as long as these pages last. We can always look back, when we sit before the fire with grandchildren on our knees, to these pictures of the beautiful girls we have known: for most of us do know some of these girls. We have danced with them, and we have laughed with them. Here are twelve soul-warming and eye-opening specimens of pul- chritude that would gladden the heart of any man: may they never sadden any.

Peoersen, Stoddard, Sims, Thrash, .Matthews (Coach), Kerrison {Mgr.}, As soon as Matty could get away from the boxing team, he issued the call for all aspirants for the baseball team. Coach Matthews dis- covered a record number of candidates for positions, and immediately began weeding out the neophytes. No time was lost in preparing for the heavy schedule of fourteen games which the team hoped to win. The squad had a reputation to maintain, passed down by the men of ' 38. The squad missed two of the finest baseball players the cadets have had in several seasons when Leroy Bessinger and Jim Owens graduated last year. Also, Ossie Maxwell, classmate of the graduat- ing men, was an invaluable man who ' sparked ' the team on many occasions. Matty built his team around Captain Graham Edwards and alternate-captain Charlie Gilbert, and succeeded again in construct- ing one of the best college infields in the South. The season was not completed when this article had to go to press, and prognostications are not in order, but the starting line-up was as follows: Catchers, Mclntyre and Browning; first base. Wall and Freeman; second base, Gilbert; shortstop, Edwards; third base, Mitchell. Outfielders were Ed wards, Shortstop Gilbert, Second Base Wilson, Outfield Freeman, First Base t -: numerous, with the candidates appearing as follows: Wilson, Hill Hughes, Ellerbee, Berry, Williams, Banny Jones, Haile, and Johnnie Howard. For the pitching assignment, Matty had his pick from a list beginning with Griffin, Thrash, Kendrick, Joe Hughes, Stod- dard, Claywell, Sims, and Bill Jones. As utility men, King Kong Shealy and Covington were the dependables. Pop Rainey, senior manager, and Rusty Kcrrison, junior manager, assisted Matty and Graham in caring for the squad. It was the opinion of the coach that Citadel was superior in the infield and outfield — the season depends largely on the improvement and con- sistency of the pitchers and catchers. The baseball team was built this season around four seniors who had proved their ability in the past season. These men, serving as a nucleus, devoted their time, energy and ability to the sport during their last semester at college, and recognition of this service is deserved. Graham Edwards, the mighty mite of the gridiron, is one of the best football players ever to run with the ball for The Citadel. At throwing passes to an end Graham had no peer in the South. How- • Hughes, J., Third Base Williams, Outfield MClNTYRE, Catcher SIMS, Pitcher I ever, his true love in sports has always been baseball. Undoubtedly, he could go far in the professional game should he elect this vocation after graduation. Charlie Gilbert, another veteran and also a man of versatility, is better at baseball than he is at basketball, and his ability to guard a sharp shooter was recognized as perfect. Charlie ' s infield play produced many rounds of applause from the spectators, and his bat was always dangerous to the opposition. Joe Hughes is one man that could never be analyzed by a sports writer. He ' s good in so many fields of sport that one would think it impossible for him to excel in any one. However, he strikes them all down, and is The Citadel ' s best candidate for a decathlon. In golf, tennis, football, basketball and track, Joe could always give any varsity man a good game. John Wilson, the fourth dependable, is strictly a one-sport man, but he travels rapidly enough across the outfield to qualify in any dashes held at inter-collegiate track meets. Major, as he is popularly called, was one of the big sticks of the squad, and probably the most dependable hitter on the team.

The Citadel cinder team had to be constructed from the bottom by Coach Rock Norman. The track mentor was confronted with the task of taking a plethora of inexperienced enthusiasts early in March, and develop a squad which could compete against strong opposition in every meet. This was accomplished by thorough drills in the fun- damentals, followed by daily work-outs under his direction. The cadets missed Clipper Morton and Allan Jones, last year ' s co-captains who burned the cinders on all occasions, and started the season with no aces. Despite the fact that ' Rock ' s ' charges didn ' t win every dual meet in which they participated, much credit goes to the men for their ceaseless efforts in preparing for the tournaments. Considering the uphill climb undertaken by the squad, one appreciates the progress and success attained by these stalwarts. SABADOS, Weights Burrows, Dashes Brown, Dashes FAUCETT, Distance Approximately forty cadets answered the first call for practice early in the month of March, but this number gradually dwindled as the days became longer and hotter. However, by mid-season, there were enough men in each event to make the practice interesting and competitive. Norman kept his men on the run, and their tough five-meet schedule was enough to justify incessant grooming. Besides the dual-meets, the team was entered in the State Meet. The team was composed of inexperienced men, and the majority were underclassmen who will be able to represent the college next year. Norman depended on Burrows, Graybill and Gardner for the sprints, while David, Brown, Norris and Mann answered the 440 call. In the 880 there were a number of candidates led by LaGarde, Knapp, McDaniel, and Franklin. Fawcett, Zobel, and Leonard • Wilson, Hurdles LiNEBERGER, Hurdles HOBGOOD, Dashes Graybill, Distance . ■t ' handled the mile nicely, and Bagnal, Hobgood, and Vann demon- strated their ability in the two-mile run. In the hurdles, Wilson, Reid, Hugh Smith, Lineberger, and McClellan were the main performers. The weights were handled by Captain Andy Sabados, Rucker, and Payne. Duncan and Mclntyre threw the javelin. Booth and Wilson took the pole vault assignment when Joe Hughes decided to sign up for baseball; the jumps were covered by men doubling up on assignments with Wilson, Burrows, Duncan, Foster, Gardner, and Graybill shining. Assisting Rock Norman in caring for the squad was Cadet E. K. Butler, manager of the track team.

Pot Sterghos Captain Miss Helen Sterghos Sponsor Realizing that inexperience would again hamper the Citadel racquet wielders in their quest for state recognition this year, Coach Lewis put his squad through an extensive training period during the winter and early spring. A large number of enthusi- asts reported for the initial practices, and from every indication, prospects for the coming season became very bright. Besides the returning letterman. Pot Sterghos, captain, Jack Millar, Lawrence Beaty, and James White, several outstanding members of the freshman team, Bubber Stogner and John Harris, former state high school champions. Jack Linder, and Bill McCauley, showed promise of adding the necessary spark in making the competition for berths more severe. Opening the season against Wofford the cadets went down in a 5-2 defeat only after seven very strenuous matches. Returning from spring vacation with renewed energy, the Citadel netters blanked the team from Erskine, 7-0, but this spirit was low- ered when the University of South Carolina netmen came to Charleston and won another hard fought match, 5-2. As the season matured the local netters competed against the state champion Presbyterian College team, Clemson, Furman, Wofford, Erskine, and the University of South Carolina again, and culminated the season at t he state tournament in Clinton. Since only two lettermen graduate and with an- other year of experience to its credit, the Citadel net team should become one of the strongest teams in the state next year.

GOLF Weldon Doe Captain Miss Betty Rossell Sponsor The cadet golfers found the toughest opponent in the academic unsatisfactory Ust. For the first half of the season, two of the first four regulars were unable to play. When the state tournament started, the squad was ready for the field and easily won the State Championship. Co-Captain Weldon Doe, one of the best golfers The Citadel has had in years, won individual honors at the state tournament as low score man in the state. Close behind Doe was Tommy Thorne, fell ow senior and co-captain, who played a consistently excellent game throughout the season. Outside of winning the state championship, the cadet squad had little to prove its ability this year. During the first half of the season, the squad dropped two close games to Davidson and Hampden-Sydney. However, they came back to defeat several squads and made a fair showing in the Southeastern Inter- collegiate Tournament. By the time the Southern Conference tourney arrives, the cadets should be on their game and end with another championship. The squad this year had a number of candidates who challenged the ranking four each week. If the number six man decided he could play a better game than the number five, a game was called. In the event the number five man was defeated, the two players, challenger and defender, changed positions until another challenger. This system was installed throughout the squad. Usually Weldon Doe was number one with Tommy Thorne a close second. These two positions were secure, but Francis Chap- man and John Martin fought each other all season for the number three position. The two alternated, and these two places for the four-man team were decided. Other members of the squad were Jack Jenkins and Jimmy Lee. Left to riffhf: Doe. Chapman, Martin. I.fe. Jenkins, Thorne. RIFLE TEAM Harold Chandler Captain Miss Elle Carswell Sponsor The Citadel ' s 1939 Rifle Team was the most suc- cessful squad the college has ever had on the range. H. B. Chandler was selected to head the squad that showed up so well in every match and tournament of the season. Major Robert J. Kirk was again coach for the squad, and his tutoring was a great help in shaping the team at the beginning of the year. His concen- tration on constant practice, and his securing a train- ing table contributed greatly to the final results of the matches. Not a single college team defeated the cadets in dual meets, and the Paris Island Marines, one of the best service squads in the country, barely eked out a victory by the slim margin of 17 points. The cadets started the season early in January by defeating the Charleston Navy Yard Marines and Porter Military Academy with little effort. Their next opponent was the University of Georgia, and the cadets won by a wide margin. However, when the Citadel journeyed to Athens to repay the ' Crack- ers ' visit, the Georgians almost defeated the local sharpshooters. Then the Paris Island Marines came to Charleston to demonstrate their slight superiority, and the cadets received their only defeat of the sea- son. In fine stride, the squad succeeded in conquer- ing both Davidson and Clemson in the other two matches. Both affairs were fired at Charleston. Out of twenty-two teams, Citadel ' s riflers were fourth in the Fourth Corps Area intercollegiate matches. This was two places higher than last year. In the William Randolph Hearst Trophy match, which was fired from February 7 to March 13, the cadets came out the leaders. The second team finished eleventh out of 22 teams. At the time of this writing, the squad is firing in the National Intercollegiate Match. Basing predic- tions on their consistent firings, one should surmise that the squad will be one of the ranking teams in the country. Knccliny: Forbes, Wooten. Barnett, Steele. Mostei.ler, Moses.

Fraser Commodore Miss Peggy Miller Sponsor m. The Citadel Yacht Club was organized in the spring of 1938 by a group of cadets who set out to make the Citadel boat-conscious. In less than a year the club had accomplished its purpose, and its mem- bership had grown beyond the wildest ideas of the club ' s founders, as over one-fourth of the corps have become members. The Yacht Club has become one of the most active clubs on the campus. Members built a dock and marine railway, dug a channel from the Ashley River to the dock, and have done many other things to improve boating facilities at The Citadel. Each week a group of members go on a cruise to some local point of interest. The club sponsors annually an eleven-mile race down the Stono River to Kiawah Island. Not contented with confining their efforts to sail- ing activities, members of the club decided to erect a monument on Morris Island to the Cadet Battery which fired the first shot in the War Between the States. This monument was dedicated on the ninth of January, 1939. The club was fortunate in obtaining the use of the forty-eight foot schooner Jahala for a flagship. The club owns two eighteen foot Seagull class sloops, and the remainder of the fleet consists of about eighteen boats owned by individuals.

[161] FRESHMAN SPORTS FOOTBALL The largest number of men ever to report for the first practice of recruits assembled when Rock Norman announced the initial appeal. However, this number dwindled rapidly, and the first practice found the mentor with a small, light group. There were several outstanding players who were inelig- ible for service that may be valuable next year. Despite the outcome of the games played, the Bullpups revealed several men of ability who will help to fill the shoes left vacant by grad- uation. The freshman team, however, did not compare favorably with material of other colleges in South Carolina. The cadets were defeated by Furman ' s frosh in their first encounter by the score of 19 to 0. The Furmanites won this victory on the eve of the varsity tilt, and considered the overwhelming victory a good omen — one case where over-confidence was fatal. Citadel ' s recruits retaliated against Erskine to win easily 26 to 6. Belmont Abbey brought a championship-calibre squad to Charleston to win 18 to in a game which was more excit- ing than the score indicates. In their final game, the Pups were held scoreless by the South Carolina Chicks whil e their backs chalked up 26 points. A number of the satellites who helped the cadets in tight spots were: Shuler, Stoddard, Jenkins, Jackson, Murrell, Williams, Boykin, Manning, and Spann. Many others showed promise, and it is hoped that these men will prove valuable to the varsity next year. BASKETBALL Joe Handrahan did a fine job in whipping his green candidates into any organization during the court season. With no outstanding players, the mentor found it difficult to train his men in the fundamentals of the game. However, the recruits managed to break even in their games. The best freshman players were Lempesis, Robertson, and Newell. Lempesis was prob- ably the best, but he will be out for boxing next year when the basketball season rolls around. From all appearances, the varsity will have to look elsewhere for replacements. TRACK As in football. Coach Norman was bowled over by enthusiasts for the first spring prac- tice. However, as soon as a man would dis- cover he was not the best in his event, the squad would notice his absence. Nevertheless, Norman succeeded in discovering several out- standing cinder-performers who will more than fill the vacancies left by graduation. Norman took a number of his frosh to Presbyterian College for the State Meet, where they won distinction and praise. TENNIS Colonel M. S. Lewis, tennis mentor, was as gloomy as a football coach at the beginning of the frosh tournament. Over 80 cadets entered the contest, and it was the duty of Cadet J. M. Lyles to see the affair to a finish. This was accomplished admirably, and from the top men. Colonel Lewis selected his squad. During the season the squad met Peddie Prep School, Porter, Presbyterian Frosh, and Charleston High. In every encounter the cadets performed smoothly and displayed some fine tennis. Although there were no experienced men on the squad, there are possibilities for the future in the number of tennis enthusiasts among the freshmen. [162] INTRAMURAL SPORTS Every Cadet an Athlete becomes a true slogan as the curtain falls upon the third full year of the standard intramural program. From the rough and furious football games which opened the pro- gram, to the fast and hard-fought softball games which ended it, the entire plan of sports moved with a competitive spirit seldom surpassed. Each organization fought hard for the number one position. The most difficult problem encountered during the current year was the result of the military training system which caused each freshman to spend part of the year in each branch of the service. But, soon after the mid-ye ar change, the organization commanders overcame this difficulty by instilling an unswerving spirit of loyalty to the new organization. The corps gave full support to the program as evidenced by the fact that 96 percent of the cadets participated and that each organi- zation entered a full team in each of the 14 sports. Taken as a whole, intramural sports have become an essential part of a cadet ' s life at The Citadel. The success of this year ' s pro- grams leads to the prophecy that the program has a successful future ahead of it. Much praise goes to the four senior managers who have worked so diligently.

LOOKING BACKWARD I ' 35 - ' 36 Wr-rr-ap yo ' neck back, mister! Suck up ' at gut! Chin in, chest up, shoulders back, heels together! Where do you think you are. Ashley Hall? As every class does, we content ourselves that we were the first recruits really to catch it. If life was a bed of roses for us, the roses were certainly of a thorny variety. Our largest yet freshman class swelled the ranks of the New Citadel to nearly seven hun- dred, and supported the last full year of the Detail System — which we afterward appreciated. Entrance tests, physical examinations, and assign- ment to the three recruit training companies were soon achieved. Then we were run through an academic orientation period, to help us decide in what fields lay our greatest ability. Meanwhile, we were being subjected to a rigorous recruit training period, under a training cadre. Squads right, about face, and left turn soon became force of habit instead of confusing mysteries. Accordingly, when we had become suffi- ciently proficient, we were received into the Corps on October 16, 1935. The Corps of Cadets was then composed of six companies of two platoons each, with three com- panies in each battalion. Our increase in enrollment was accompanied by a Federal Loan: a P. W. A. grant of $541,818. With this money a greater Citadel was to be built. The campus was consequently graced with our new chapel, the new mess hall, and six four-family officers ' quarters. President Roosevelt visited the Citadel, and was generous in his praise; his visit occasioned the famous Kelly Decree : all punishment was cancelled. On our Orangeburg excursion, we were painfully introduced to the University of South Carolina jinx, but even that failed to mar our pleasure. The Bulldogs played well, but Lady Luck was Miss Fortune to us. Citadel athletics began that year to assume a prominent place on the sports pages of South Carolina newspapers, and to achieve wide publicity. All of our various teams were good that year. We were admitted to the Southern Conference in February, 1936. That was the year of the Artillery ' s Ash Can Incident, and of long restriction of the corps because of an influenza epidemic. Academics, cadet commit- tees, week-ends and hops, inspections. Folly Beach, and furlough were the chief factors in life. But time passed swiftly; hops followed hops in rapid succes- sion: Jimmy Poyner for the Christmas Hop, Tommy Tucker for the Senior Hop. By now, the novelty of uniforms had worn off, and we longed to be free in civilian clothes once more. Examinations, company i ' ' «.i.T vV • • competitive drill, Government Inspection — all marched past, and we rated well in all. Finally came Commencement, and freedom from freshman regu- lations — we were upperclassmen at last! II ' 36 - ' M Our greatly diminished class returned in Septem- ber as the lowest of the low, self-esteemed high- and-mighty Sophomores. But the number we had lost was more than made up for by the new rats, whom we promptly proceeded to heckle. The Corps was reorganized into eight companies. Three assist- ants now aided the Commandant, and the teaching faculty was increased. Buildings began rising on all sides: the chapel, the new mess hall, and the engineer- ing building rapidly took shape. On September 25, the whole corps was formally welcomed back to Charleston by Mayor Maybank — after we had marched to the Old Citadel for that purpose. The recruit training period — now mean- ingless to us upperclassmen, except for the unfor- tunate few on the training cadre — terminated on October 4, and we settled in our permanent barracks for another year. Although we were used only to substitute in vacancies in the regular drill platoons, the Sophomore class organized an exhibition drill platoon. Every- one was anxious to accompany the platoon on foot- ball trips, as the Citadel had a very good team. But, our traditional Orangeburg excursion repeated the triumph of the Carolina jinx, 9-0. In 1936, for the first time in the Citadel ' s history, a cadet, Andy Sabados, won the William P. Jacob ' s Blocking Trophy. With the passing of Parent ' s Day on November 14, football was soon over, and Bob Pope was playing for the Thanksgiving Hop. Then the pleasing practice of Thanksgiving Furlough made its debut. In a very short time, featured only by reap- pointments, we danced to the music of Wesley Kay, prior to Christmas Furlough. When we returned, the detail system was officially abolished, February marked the memorable parade through Charleston on Washington ' s Birthday, accompanied by copious cavalry, corns, and cursing. Also, Febru- ary marked the last basketball game between Citadel and the College of Charleston. Sinnett, the magician at the movies, predicted our downfall — and was he wrong! Shep Fields and the Senior Hop, the visiting French Naval Cadets, the Azalea Festival, and Spring Furlough soon passed. Colonel Villaret left The Citadel for Jugoslavia, and was replaced by Colonel Packard. With the advent of Spring came Folly Beach, Government Inspection, and final examina- tions, resulting in numerous academic failures — our class was reduced still further. Half way through, Sophomores no more! Junior Year, here we come! ,.1A , ' S atoF-i v.lv LOOKING BACKWARD III ' 37 - ' 38 Came autumn and we were once more in harness, this time under the respectable title of Juniors. The Citadel had grown at a rapid rate: the new freshman class numbered four hundred. This increase resulted in eight companies of three platoons each, and a bigger, better band and drum and bugle corps. The new mess hall and the engineering building were in use: construction commenced on a new bar- racks, an administration building, a new wing to the hospital, and additions to Bond Hall. Coward Hall, the old mess hall, now contained the Com- mandant ' s Office, the canteen, the post office, the recreation room, visitor ' s room, publi cations room, tailor shop, and the barber shop. Also, we employed two new football coaches, Brackett and Handrahan, and increased the teaching faculty. The Citadel fast grew in reputation and in size: in November, 1937, our school, already notable among South Carolina Colleges, became a member of the Association of American Universities. In October, a portion of our class was enrolled in the Advanced R. O. T. C the remaining members being taken in at later dates. October also witnessed the last Citadel-Carolina football classic. This time, the corps made the Orangeburg trip via special train. The jinx still held. Our luck was better when we beat unbeatable Furman on Homecoming Day. Our football reputation was even more enhanced by our creditable showing against Navy. The basketball team was unusually good, too: Citadel placed high in the Southern Conference Tournament. The beach, week-ends, hops, and holidays were even more integral parts of our lives. We now could take week-end leaves, and take advantage of privileges not available to the two lower classes. The hops were featured by better known orchestras, such as Red Nichols, Jan Savitt. and George Hall. As we returned from supper, on January 26, we saw the aurora borealis. the Northern lights; the last time that sight had been seen in Charleston was in 1897. Again we were restricted because of an influ- enza epidemic, but it was soon over. In February, a new anti-aircraft unit from Fortress Monroe, Vir- ginia, was stationed at The Citadel for several weeks. In March, Governor Olin D. Johnston attended the parade given in honor of General Summerall ' s seventy-first birthday. In April, at the time of the Senior Hop, a parade was held in honor of our vari- ous sponsors. Commencement past, the Junior class set out for points south, for R. O. T. C. encamp- ment: the artillerymen to Pensacola, and the infantrymen to Anniston. Seniors at last I One more year, and we ' ll be through! • • • IV ' 38 - ' 39 School reopened under a new regime. Colonel Holliday, P. M. S. K T., replaced the retired Com- mandant of Cadets, Colonel Gaston. With the new commandant came a new set of Assistant Comand- ants, Major Kalloch. Major Sinkler, and Captain Alexander, replacing Lieutenants Graves and Keith. The new Commandant ' s Department wisely realized the futility of functioning without the Corps ' back- ing, so the Senior Class ' cooperation was secured. We were given more responsibility and more liberty, the things for which all Citadel senior classes have striven. We feel that this administrative change has done more for our college than any amount of physical growth could do. Our growth this year has bee n tremendous, both in enrollment and in buildings. In addition to the completion of the new buildings already begun, a new wing to the mess hall and an armory have been started. The increase in enrollment justified the reorganization of the Corps into twelve companies, of two platoons each. This year proved an outstanding one for our ath- letic teams. In football, our Wilmington Excursion against N. C. State promises to replace the U. S. C. classic at Orangeburg. The Light Brigade ' s signal victory was the second successive defeat of Furman, which paved the way for the annexation of the state championship. In basketball the Southern Con- ference victories and the state championship have marked our brightest year. The pugilists threatened, and nearly made good that threat, to capture the Southern Conference boxing championship. Track, tennis, baseball, golf, and fencing — good men plus the Citadel spirit — have won us even greater renown. By now, the novelty of our class rings has worn off, and we begin already to look at them with pensive eyes reminiscing. With the passing of the Senior Hop (Jan Garber) and the coming of Senior Week, we realize more and more that all good things must come to an end. Strangely, we no longer look forward to graduation and summer, and are reluctant to go. Commencement has a new meaning for us. Finally, we have begun to appreciate our Alma Mater, and to realize what it means to us. This year we have lived to the fullest, realizing that hops, parades, general leave, and Citadel regu- lations will govern us never more: we shall begin a new life, once we take off the gray and black. Folly Beach and white uniforms are here once again: all that remains for the Class of ' 39 is to wait for Final Examinations and Commencement. Our class had witnessed the growth of the New Citadel ' to a Greater Citadel. Although our col- lege has almost reached its physical capacity, let us pray that the Greater Citadel of alumni will con- tinue to grow greater, and that we shall live always as true Citadel Men. ,4) Ml i Km OUTSTANDING SENIORS Tom Kenan Jack Jenkins yL- Punk Jackson y Jamie Cobb 5 - Jack Millar Bill Henderson Jf )f 5f Ham Walker Jack Lyons Andy Sabados ' Cecil Shuler j Charlie Fortson J TOBY Holt Henderson, Millar, Jackson, Shuler Sabados, Holt, Walki-r, Lyons, Kenan, Cobb, Jenkins, Fortson f THE GRADUATES Charles A.

Never one to worry and always following the course of least resistance, he lived through the week only for the week-end and Folly Beach. His devil-may-care attitude and unusual gift of bull shooting have won for him many friends and a reputation not to be forgotten. In spite of several moments of high rank, he was never affected by it. and came out unscathed with a high-ranking lieutenancy. Joe ' s ambition is to make a lot of money, buy a big yellow automobile and to have a wonderful time. Our predictions are that if Joe is as successful in life as he was in college, then look out Hollywood! Samuel Pickens Anderson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charleston, South Carolina Pick is a true Charleston lad. Although short in stature, he entered The Citadel with a high aim and determination which have carried him far. This blond-haired, blue-eyed fellow gained the affections of many girls along the coast and in Pensacola, Fla. Pick was always present at the various social functions, never missing a dance. By hard, but practical work, Pick Anderson made good in his academic and military grades. Somewhat handicapped by his size, he never excelled in athletics; however, he loved sports and could be found nearly every afternoon making his usual rounds on the track or working down at the dock. Pick was one of the most conscientious and hardest working cadets in our class. Without a doubt, his efforts will be rewarded in future years. JOE Ret., Co. C (4); Cpl., Co. D (3); 1st Sgt., Co.

[174] Barrett Barron •■BILLY Ret., Co. C (4); Cpl., Co. C (3); Pvt., Co. C (2); F l., Co. D C). William Robert Barrett Infantry — Modern Languages Florence, South Carolina During his time with us. Billy has made himself known as a searcher for knowledge for its own sake and its own reward. Always the gentleman, he never lacked time to be courteous to his fellow cadets. While at The Citadel, he was too much of a philosopher to be attracted by the blandishments of military rank, and too much of a lover of his fellow men to wish to be set up over them. In the social life of Charleston and The Citadel. Billy was never a spectacular Personality Kid. but instead associated himself with those in whom he was interested and attracted. Whatever his achievements in later life may be, and whatever titles may be bestowed upon him, none can exceed the one given him in the hearts of the Corps of Cadets — Billy Barrett, gentleman and scholar.

Caldwell Alexander Barron Coast Artillery — Political Science Rock Hill, South Carolina All right. ' Sonny ' , second call has blown! We sincerely hope that when Gabriel blows second call Barron won ' t turn over and face the other direction. Though a few may think Barron a dope, that complacent exterior of his conceals a heart that is all for his friends. The question of rank has never bothered him at The Citadel, as his name has been officially written with a Pvt. in front of it for four years. Many are the Monday mornings that he has been greeted with a quiz from Quizzem, who disagreed with Sunday night leave. Being one of the deefecult one ' s boys, it is probable that Barron intends to use the diplomacy learned in Political Science in the hardware business. If so, we wish him all the luck possible. [175] Beattie Bennett Samuel Marshall Beattie, Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Greenville, South Carolina All cadets place ciifferent importance upon need for a good appear- ance. To Sam, this was greatly desirable. His uniforms were always immaculately clean, well-pressed, and perfect fitting. His efforts to have them this way brought many headaches to Sgt. Alslev and Mr. Rughcimer. Whenever Sam decided to try something, he worked dili- gently to see that his goal was accomplished. His conscientious atti- tude and his strength of will won for him the respect of all who came in contact with him. and the friendship of those who came to know him well. Since his arrival at The Citadel, he has ranked well, and has left behind an enviable record. His personal qualities and his ever-present, sincere effort to develop perfect self-control should prove invaluable to a successful career. SAM Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Cuidon Cpl., Co.

James Robert Bennett, Jr. Coast Artillery — Chemistry Rocky Mount, North Carolina Hailing from Rocky Mount. N. C, this cadet will always be remembered for bis courage and determination. As a junior he received a special order which was rather stiff. However, no one could have taken his punishment any better. He walked every one of his tours and served his restriction as a true army man. He spent a little more time on his lessons, and thereby earned gold stars. Thus, by his hard work and plucky spirit. Jack won the admiration of every member of the corps. He has also taken part in numerous activities on the campus. Jack has been one of the most influential members of the Calliopcan Literary Society. In fact, he likes to talk so well that probably his main fault is in shooting too much bull. Keep up the good work. Jack, and no one could better deserve the title of a true Citadel man. [176] JACK Ret.. Co. D (4); Pvt.. Cpl.. Co. E (3); Pvt., Sgt.. Co. E (2); 2nd Lieut., 2nd Bn.

James Edward Black Infantry — Business Administration Beaufort, South Carolina Proper adjectives are lacking when it comes to describing this handsome lad from Beaufort, who has won such an enviable place in the admiration of his fellow cadets. His capability was rightfully recognized when the Military Department bestowed upon him the rank of color sergeant his junior year and lieutenant adjutant his senior year. What his classmates think of him was evidenced last September when he was elected chairman of the Standing Hop Com- mittee. Ed was in love when he first came to The Citadel and his consistency is manifested by his title in the senior superlatives — Most in Love. Ed ' s ability to handle a situation, his resourceful- ness, and dependability, not forgetting his fine personality, are sure to make his, a life worth living. B. J. Ret., Co. D (4); Cpl., Co.

B. J. had much trouble with the profs of the Business Department during his stay at The Citadel, but he always came through, much to the wonder of Nub and Dead Man. When we think of Butch, we can- not help but remember his admirers of the fairer sex. The one whom he liked best seems to have been a lucky lassie from Winthrop . . . more power to you, Genis. Now, as the last Taps sounds to the Class of ' 39, let us say goodbye to a mighty fine cadet and friend. Farewell, B. J., we wish you a happy voyage on the sea of life. [177] W. Blackwell Bliss I William Lester Blackwell, Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Canton, Georgia During the four years that Billy has been one of us, he has shown that he is capable and dependable, both as a private his freshman year and as a cadet officer the other three years. He has stood high both scholastically and in the military field ever since he enrolled at The Citadel. But. in spite of all this. Billy has never made a noise about it. Although his accomplishments have been great, his modesty has dominated, and, if left to him. one would never know of his attainments. With his ability, honesty, and ambition, we predict that Billy is certain to make a huge success of his future life: however, we sincerely believe that he will do so quietly, efficiently, keeping both feet on the ground. Leonard John Bliss Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Greensboro, North Carolina Here is Leonard Bliss, a true Citadel man from Greensboro, North Carolina. Buddy always gave the impression of being a serious and business-like fellow, but his intimate friends knew him to be good- natured and a great lover of fun. He was one of Bub ' s boys in that he majored in Civil Engineering, and he planned to engage in steel design work as his life ' s employment. Buddy took his work seriously and worked hard during the week days. But he was never found in barracks over week-ends unless serving confinements. Buddy could find little time for athletics and extra-curricular activities: nevertheless, he was a good all-around fellow, a loyal friend, and was admired by us all. On parting after four college years together, let us say that we wish you much success and happiness in your future years. BILLY Ret., Co. A (4); Cpl., Co. A, Color Cpl., RcRt. Staff (.i): Sup.

John Keller Brandenburg Infantry — Business Administration St. Matthews, South Carolina Never overly ambitious towards his military life, this chap from the sandy soil of Calhoun County has always toiled diligently in his academic work. Keller made himself known through his ability to get full time on the NYA with the least possible work or worry. (We often wondered about his conscience.) Kellers personality and likable traits were his chief assets, and we very seldom heard him griping or fussing about things that could not be bettered by these methods. His chief obstacle was a course some call Business Adminis- tration : however, those who took it gave it other names. What about that, Colonel ? Anyway, to St. Matthews, which four years ago put shoes on this lad and sent him here, we give back a young man of whom it might well be proud. JACK Ret., Co. F (4); Guidon Cpl., Co.

(1), Jackson Wilbur Burnett, Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Greenville, South Carolina The first day that Jack Burnett entered The Citadel, he wore a broad smile, and never have we known him to lose it. Jack seems always to be in a jocular mood and never too busy to swap yarns with any of us. Needless to say, his good looks are exceeded only by his friendliness and good nature. Jack was first sergeant of his company his junior year, but owing to a skirmish with the Business Department, the military office doubted his ability his senior year. He emerged victorious academically, and we all felt that some company lost an excellent commander in him. Here ' s to you, Jack ! May your path in life be happy and prosperous. You will ever be looked upon by us all as a true gentleman and an ideal Citadel man. [179] BURNEY Carey Jack Towler Burney Infantry — Chemistry SwAiNSBORO, Georgia Although a bolshevist, the maestro managed to breeze through The Citadel without any great amount of trouble. We believe that Jack could have made gold stars every semester had it not been for the fact that he hated to buy them from the Q. M. Military did not interest Jack in the least, and when the P. M. S. T. gave him a corporal during his sophomore year he gave it back to them. Another of our young Chemist ' s interests was bull shooting. and he has won quite a name for himself in the best of our bull shooting circles. His one particular delight was attending senior meetings where he could always take the negative side to any matter that came up. We can safely predict a brilliant and successful future for this fellow. JACK Ret., Co. A (4); Pvt., Co. A (3, Knox Chem. Soc.

Throughout his four years, Rennie has displayed qualities of leadership, initiative, and enterprise, and has accomplished many difficult deeds during his years as a cadet. ' Wherever you saw him, Reynolds was wearing that winning smile which was very typical of his personality. A true friend to many cadets and considered a handsome Carolinian by the weaker sex, this man has given much to the class. In return he has taken advantage of every opportunity given him at the college to accumulate a greater knowledge of his subjects, experiences, and a host of friends. Rennie. keep that win- ning smile and that determination to win, and we arc certain that you will go to the top. [180] RENNIE Ret.. Co. A (4); Cpl., Co. A (,1); Staff Sgt., 1st Bn. Staff, Sgt., Co.

Harold Bradford Chandler, Jr. Infantry — History Augusta, Georgia Harold, more familiarly known as Hobbleskizuski, did not join our class until our sophomore year. Entering The Citadel as a sopho- more recruit from Richmond Academy, he was not slow in mani- festing his interest and ability in military affairs, nor was Bobbie slow in recognizing his military worth. Skizus ' has been a member of the rifle team and Glee club ever since his arrival. This year he rated a trip to Camp Perry. Ohio, for the National Rifle Matches after R. O. T. C. Camp. Hobble has let the fair sex cause him considerable worry, but his studies have not suffered. Harold ' s easy- going and affable manner has won him many friends at The Citadel. You have ability.

Fred DeMass Clarke, Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Anniston, Alabama Fred Clarke and Mutt Gee were the Damon and Pythias of the Class of ' 39 for three years. However, when Mutt left school to go to West Point, Fred continued to hold the fort with us. Fred ' s friendly disposition and accommodating manner have placed him as high in the esteem of his classmates as high military rank could have. In his academic work Fred has been steady and per- sistent. In performing his duties as assistant and later as head circu- lation manager of The Bull Dog, he devoted his time to an extra- curricular activity that involved much work and little glory. How- ever, this efficient Alabamian executed his assignments conscientiously and satisfactorily. [181] JL. Cobb COFIELD James David Cobb Coast Artillery — Business Administration Spartanburg, South Carolina J. D. was truly one of the outstanding graduates of the Class of ' 39. He was as versatile as one could hope to be, and he has taken part in almost every activity on the campus. The Calliopean Literary Society was especially sorry to lose such an excellent President. The Bull Dog and the Round Table suffered greatly from Jamie ' s gradu- ation. In addition to extra-curricular activities. Cobb has certainly been most prominent in military and scholastic circles. As Major of the Artillery Battalion, and voted the Most Intellectual by his class- mates, he held a position which could well be a goal for any future senior. The Citadel lost a scholar, a gentleman, and a soldier. The world gained a citizen who will soon make his mark. Eugene Park Cofield, Jr. Coast Artillery — Chemistry Anderson, South Carolina Here was one of the best liked guys in the senior class. Characterized by his good nature, his friendliness, and his keen wit, Eugene has attained an excellent academic and a fair military rating. Eugene majored in Chemistry, and he planned to make a graduate study of the subject. Jug has really been a busy fellow during his four years at The Citadel. One has only to glance at his record to understand why. Although he never associated much with the fairer sex, we know that his heart had a soft spot for one, Joyce. Jug served his senior year as an intelligence officer on the 2nd Battalion staff and later Regimental staff. Everyone admired this conservative, but frank, little fellow who never hesitated to help any of us. At this last farewell, let us with sincerity wish him a happy and prosperous journey through life.

Bill was well informed and had a mind interested in what ' s going on. Easy-going and care- free. Bill has spent most of his time entertaining his classmates in bull-shoots of high grade. He was never at a loss when wit was the order of the day. Bill is entering law school next year and will undoubtedly be outstanding as a man worth knowing, as he has been at The Citadel.

Auley McRae Crouch, Jr. Coast Artillery — Pre-Medical Wilmington, North Carolina There is an old saying that everybody loves a fat man, especially a friendly one, and Auley is a good example of this. Since his recruit days this rotund bandsman has reduced noticeably, but this has not tended to decrease his popularity. A great lover of music and a scholar devoted to the medical profession, there are few cadets at The Citadel who can discuss medicine or music more capably than he. His ambition is some day to become a great benefactor of mankind through diligent research in the medical field. However, all of us History students will never forget his short sojourn with us under Butch Skipper. With his great amount of energy, which never seems to fail him. Auley will make an impressive attempt to accomplish his ambitions.

This Guardian of the Drum and Bugle Corps ' left the folds of A Company during our junior year in order that he might be nearer the organization that he loved best. Good work, Graham, you have produced an organization of which we are all proud. Never adorned with gilt, this country boy just tooted his way on through Bub ' s courses. Always having a good time, taking advantage of the majority of the leave that was granted, and giving the fairer sex a break was his motto. Oh! How well he kept it! KILLER Ret.. Co.

David Samuel Daley Infantry — Business Administration Augusta, Georgia The first impression David gave at The Citadel was that of a dig- nified, friendly, efficient fellow who would be heard from. He has proved that first impressions are right in every way during his three years at The Citadel, from sophomore recruit through senior. David is easy-going, speaks with a pleasant drawl, and has a way with the ladies. He is as gentlemanly as he is courteous and has made many friends by these two traits. He has taken an interest in several extra-curricular activities, and he has always shown himself to be capable and dependable. David has been one of Nub ' s proteges and is, therefore, well fitted to ascend the steps of success with a quick and sure step. Here ' s luck to you. Dave. 184 ' DAPPER DAVE Ret., Co. A (3); Plat.

William Stuart Davies Infantry — Business Administration Barnwell, South Carolina Gub, as he is known below the Mason-Dixon line, is about to emerge, with a dip in hand, upon this hard and cruel world to seek his fortune. We have reason to believe that he has things pretty well lined up, if time is any factor. This is one cadet we ' ll really miss, but we have enough experience to know that good things can ' t last forever. Colonel Nub looked on him with much pride and joy, and after five years sent him out to make his mark in the world. Since we have known Gub, we cannot remember a time that he has failed to give his whole-hearted cooperation to the ideals and advancement of The Citadel. With this same asset we are expecting him to leave us and take his place among the ranks of men. WELDON Ret., Co. F (4); Cpl.. Co. F (3); Sgt., Co. F (2); Pvt., Co.

Weldon Williamson Doe, Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration MONTGO.ViERY, ALABAMA Weldon was one cadet who seemed to really enjoy his four years at The Citadel. He made good grades without troubling himself to study very hard. This easy-going fellow gained many friends by his good nature. He loved a good time and never failed to have one when the opportunity presented itself. Girls were never a bother to Weldon, but he always smiled that guilty smile if Betty was men- tioned. He preferred eating to anything else in the world. Weldon was number-one man on our golf team for three years. He intends to go into the machinery business with his father as Weldon Doe and Father. We shall never forget you. Weldon, and wish you a most happy and prosperous sail on the sea of life. [185] Douglas ' k DUSKIN John Thompson Douglas Coast Artillery — Business Administration Columbia, South Carolina Doug announced during recruit days that he was not wearing a hat because he did not like to wear one. Since then he has been in hot water continuously. His hard luck, however, has never ruffled his good humor. His quick wit and intelligence, though hidden by a curtain of humorous pseudo stupidity, are recognized by all since his successful clashes with Zerie Bernfield. Reports on the trip across the Atlantic bear out our observation of John ' s power with the ladies, but he also has time to be everybody ' s friend. Believe it or not. he docs have a serious side. Doug plans to attend Harvard, and he has ambitions, which we believe will carry him far. We ' re also certain that John is the type who will keep his many friends when he gets on top. 1 1 DOUG Ret..

Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Columbus, Glorgia DeWitt spent his first two years figuring ways of loosing himself from the bonds of military life and taking up instead that wild life of the University. As the old saying goes, Time will make its changes ; and so it did upon P-ootsie. He ' s still with us. and never was there a more enthusiastic, hard-working member of the Corps. A well-balanced reasoning power and the ability of grasping knowledge quickly have made academics easy for him. Many is the time that he has helped wayward students withstand the barrage of problems thrust upon them by the Business Administration faculty. A good officer, a likable nature, and a keen wit which crops out frequently are prominent characteristics of this Georgian. If his accom- plishments at The Citadel can be a measure of his success in the business world, Duskin will make the grade. [186] De WITT Ret., Co. C (4); Pvt., Cpl., Co. C (3); Plat. Sgt., Sup.

Jim has not only stood high in his class academically for four years, but he has always upheld the high traditions of the school and continuously shown conscientiousness in the performance of his military duties. The characteristically pleasing personality and accommodating manner of this easy-going fellow has won for him a host of friends among the boys here at The Citadel and brought him close to many feminine hearts, especially at such institutions as Randolph-Macon. Flora Macdonald, Winthrop, and Limestone — just to mention a few! In short, we have found him to be a good student, an ideal cadet, a gentleman, and a darn good fellow to know. Good luck to you, Jim. and we know you ' ll make a success of whatever you undertake. Augustine Dean Edwards, Jr. Infantry — History JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA Known to all here at The Citadel as just plain Gus , Augustine D. Edwards came to us from the red, rolling hills of Alabama and has won an enviable place in the hearts of all who know him. Characteristically steady and easy-going, Gus has managed to go through these four years without excessive deficiency. In his chosen field of history, his accomplishments have been good despite many a Monday morning quiz. In the Military Department he stood con- sistently high until, alas and alack, the shavetail bug bit him. Few of us will forget the humorous spectacle presented by the Bn. Staff with its lanky members and the inimitable Gus. Despite many an encounter with Dapper Dave, we believe Gus will do just as he pleases when he departs in June. [187- C. Edwards ElCHHOLZ Charles Graham Edwards Artillery — Business Administration Wilmington, North Carolina Stand up, Bucks, and salute a man. You will understand the mean- ing of this expression if you have ever known Graham Edwards. He has shown the qualities of being a man in a number of ways. Besides excelling in all the activities of a true Citadel cadet, he was known as one of the outstanding football players in the South, saying nothing of his being captain of the baseball team. During his senior year, he was one of the most popular two-button boys in our college. Graham proves that the love for one blonde is greater than the call for him to play another year of football. So, Dickie. we say goodbye to Graham; we know that we have lost a fine fellow, and that you have won a good man. GRAHAM Ret., Co. E (4); Pvt., Co. F (3); Sgt., Co. F (2); 1st Lieut., Co.

Probably every member of the cadet corps knows this likeable chap, either personally or by his reputation. The main reason for his popularity is that he always has a bright remark for every occasion. In the selection of the senior superlatives, Eichholz was chosen the Most Original and the Wittiest. This certainly proves that his classmates recognize his amicable traits. Another Civil Engineering student, he has always done well without having a nervous breakdown because of too much study. There is no need to boast of his powers on the football field. Many was the time that he kept an opponent back from gaining through The Citadel forward wall. Let us hope that next year will produce another Ike. [188] IKE Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Co.

Alfred Gaillard Ellison, Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Lancaster, South Carolina Alfred Gaillard Ellison, known only to the class as Gill. was voted the Best Looking boy in the senior class. A shy, quiet fellow his freshman year, he gradually matured into a Don Juan and Casanova his senior year. His handsomeness is exceeded only by his personality. A good fellow and loyal friend. Gill has never been known to say a harsh word about anyone. He could not find the time at school for athletics, but at the R. O. T. C. encampment he engaged in all the sports. His free and easy-going manner has won him numerous friends at The Citadel and in Charleston. Gill always stood high in his class, being an excellent student. The Military Depart- ment recognized his ability by promoting him from corporal to supply sergeant, to regimental supply officer. His natural ability and friendly attitude will go a long way towards making his life a happy and successful one. HAYWOOD Ret., Co. A (4); Pvt., Co. A (3); Sgt., Co. A (2); Pvt., Co. A (1); Bull Dog (3); Aero Club (1). Haywood Renich Faison, Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Washington, D. C. Haywoodie is one of the quietest men we have ever known, and one of the best. He came to The Citadel after a year at Auburn, and he felt the change immediately: but he was determined not to submit entirely to the military life. Accordingly, his arm has felt the weight of the chevron very little, and he is none the worse for it. Faison has the ability to get along with new acquaintances, and that character- istic will carry him far along the road to success. He is highly dependable, and he has always held the esteem of his fellow cadets in the college. Being a Jewish Engineer under the direct tutelage of Col. Nub. we are certain that he will be a success in whatever position he finds for himself. [189: Ferris FiSHBURNE CONSTANTINE ANTON FERRIS Infantry — Civil Engineering Orangeburg, South Carolina Some members of the Class of ' 39 will be remembered for their extra-curricular accomplishments, others will be remembered for their success in academic work, but Buster will be remembered for his friendly nature and his smiling greeting to everyone. He took his studies with the Engineering Department seriously, always being able to pass his work with a comfortable margin. Being quiet and unob- trusive, he did not receive rank until the latter part of his junior year, but his capable performance of duty earned him the rank of lieutenant his senior year. Contrary to the expectations of some, Buster has weakness for the fairer sex. Mickey will make a good haul if she lands him. Buster. may you become the greatest engineer that has ever left the tutorship of Col. Bub. BUSTER Ret.. Co. A (4); Pvt., Co. B (3); Pvt., Sgt., Co. B (2); 2nd Lieut., Co. D (I); Am. See. Civil Engr.

Daniel Flud Fishburne Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charleston, South Carolina Dan is another of our Charleston cadets and is a credit to the name. Though some may think him quiet and reserved, it is only because he has the common sense to keep his private affairs to himself. To those who know him his reserve is only that which befits a true gentleman. Though he has never been a cadet who stood at the top of his class, he has not the dubious honor of being anchor man at any time. For Dan we predict a great success in the Engineering field. He has the necessary qualities and can use them. His departure will leave a hard-to-fill vacancy in the affections of his friends and acquaintances. To him we say. God speed you, and Good luck.

Charles Ogilvie Fortson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Augusta, Georgia Charlie came to us fresh from several years at McCallie Military Institute where he had already learned the fundamentals of rifle- ology ahead of most of us: hence, the agonies of 55 weren ' t too unbearable for him. He continued to stand out in military life and came up to our expectations when he was appointed Major of the Second Battalion: but woe is he. he enjoyed life a little too much at Pensacola: therefore, at reappointments he fell to the honorable rank of Cadet Captain of Company L. Friendly and possessing a pleas- ing personality, Charlie was always ready to render a helping hand to anyorie who needed aid. Being frank in his manner of speech and an interesting conversationalist, he has many friends who shed a tear as they part from him. George Hamilton Franklin Infantry — Business Administration MiLLEN, Georgia George entered The Citadel as a sophomore recruit, and the same day he began making friendships that have lasted and will last. George is very quiet and friendly. The Military Department never shed its glory upon his shoulders, or arms, until final re-appointments, but he didn ' t let that worry him. He went through The Citadel doing well academically and helping his less endowed classmates. He is the kind that wins one ' s heart at first meeting and it must be because of his clean, almost naive personality. The Nub smiled with approval on George ' s scholastic endeavors and thus marked him as a remarkable specimen. He has an air about him that assures him of success, and he is capable of distinguishing himself in the field he enters, regardless of what it may be. [191] Fraser FULMER Donald Sanders Fraser Coast Artillery — English Spartanburg, South Carolina It is the Hag who gets credit for the rapid steps taken in a new field at The Citadel. The field is sailing, and the steps arc the estab- lishment, officially recognized, of course, of The Citadel Yacht Club and the improvement of yachting facilities at The Citadel. It is not in this field alone that Fraser excels, for he has contributed valuable material, both pictures and tales, to The Shako. Donald was not well known by many boys, but those who did know him liked him well. It has been rumored that the Hag ' has a mate in mind for his future voyages. If this is what the well-worn road to Love Street means, then we wish him the best of luck in all his ventures. HoYT Leslie Fulmer, Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Florence, South Carolina At the beginning of his junior year Hoyt found that the Battalion staff was his natural habitat. He even gave up the rank of 1st Lt. in A Company this year in order to keep his much-prized position on the stafl . (We often wondered about that, but we hope that it was all on the level.) A very studious cadet, as evidenced by the fact that he wears the coveted Gold Stars. Hoyt can usually be found deeply engrossed in his books (or his afternoon siesta) during the week. But as soon as the week-ends roll around, he saunters out to have a date or see a motion picture. If Hoyt ' s success in college is any indication of his ability in future life, his prospects should be bright. SEA HAG Ret., Co. F (4); Pvt., Co. H (3, 2); Pvt., Co.

Jack Philip Geise Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Clinton, South Carolina Here we have a happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care cadet whose ready and careless smile has won him a host of friends. Jack held high rank his sophomore year but was soon on the outs with the tactical department and never quite recovered favor. Though rarely found in the depths of study, he was always able in times of necessity to quickly grasp the necessary knowledge and to make the grades. How he managed it. we don ' t know, but Jack certainly got more than his share of leave. Few week-ends passed that he was not seen leaving with a suitcase in one hand and a jacket in the other. It is with regret that we say farewell to this friend, and in parting we whole-heartedly wish him every success. BILLY Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Co. F (3); Sgt„ Co. F (2); Pvt., Co.

William Bentley Gibson Coast Artillery — Business Administration Sumter, South Carolina Here is a man who believes it matters not if you win or lose but how you play the game. These standards have been upheld by Bill on the football field as well as in the classroom. Nub and his staff attempted, but did not succeed, to smear him with that Jewish Engineering stuff. When Bill could not be found participating in sports or studying, he could usually be found holding the floor in a good bull-session. as there is hardly a damsel below the Mason and Dixon line that he has not courted. We are not asking you to believe this, however. It can truthfully be said that he is honest, persistent and clean. So it is with deep regret the Corps of Cadets bid a fond farewell to Billy. [193] Gilbert Gill Charles Max Gilbert Coast Artillery — Business Administration Florence, South Carolina Charlie Gilbert, the Friendliest Man in the Senior Class, is one fine fellow; a lot of us know him as The Champ, and a champion he really is. Charlie has done much to put our school on the map, chiefly through his athletic ability and his fine character. It seems that the fairer sex is also attracted to this handsome fellow, although he cares little for any particular girl. Charlie loves a good time, however, and those of us closest to him know that he has it. By virtue of his hard, conscientious study, Charlie has always made commendable grades at The Citadel. He throws himself whole-heartedly into those things he attempts to do. If any one of us succeeds in later life, it will without doubt be The Champ, CHARLIE Rct„ Co. E (4); Pvt., Co. F (3); Pvt., Co.

Robert Miles Gill Infantry — Business Administration Charlotte, North Carolina This lad with the curly hair and ready smile is familiar to every- one on the campus, well liked by all his classmates, and as true a friend as any one ever had. He was always glad to lend a helping hand to any other cadet. Bob has worked hard and steadily on his studies, but he also believes in getting a little fun out of life along with his work.

Georgia Simply to say that Jack makes all A ' s in engineering is hardly enough to introduce the cadet we know. The fact that Jack has applied himself is well evident from observation. He has acquired that power of being friendly and cheerful regardless of contrary factors. This fellow has always paid more attention to the engineering rather than the military department, but has always been among the top in rank. Certainly Jack could not be called the boisterous type, he is reserved and cautious, but never snobbish. He tackles a job with determination and when it is finished, all in unison can say, Well done, my lad. William Bryan Gillespie Infantry — Business Administration Effingha.m, S. C. Behold! the honor graduate of the Class of ' 39. Killdee has remained at the top of the ladder throughout his college life, proving that actions speak louder than words. Beneath this cover of quiet- ness and dignity. Billy is a fine gentleman and an ideal cadet. He prefers to stay in on the week-ends and spend a quiet evening at home. Killdee is no lady-killer, but he will make some lady a perfect hus- band. Although we ' ve never heard much concerning Effingham, we expect to hear plenty when this genius lets loose his abilities. So here ' s to you, Billy. We ' re counting on you to make a great success in the business world. Show them what a true Citadel man can accomplish, and we wish you the best of luck in doing it. 195] Graham GUNDERSON William Culder Graham. Jr. Infantry — Business Administration Rich.mond; Virginia Billy came to us from the little town of Sumter, although he was registered as a Richmond boy. Since he has been at The Citadel he has not only made a large number of friends but has stood well in his class. Unfortunately, during his sophomore year he did not stand so high in rank, but with a steady determination to reach the top, he applied himself diligently and has now attained the goal of com- pany commander. He attained this goal by true friendship and leader- ship and not by the report blank route. We have all enjoyed having Billy, a true gentleman and loyal friend, with us for four years. and it is with much sorrow that we bid him farewell. Best of luck. Billy. •BILLY Ret.. Co.

Edward Hunt Gunderson Infantry — Civil Engineering Perth Amboy, New Jersey Eddie ' s character is about as fathomable as a bottomless pool, and about as constant as a Model-T motor in winter. Possessed of a very brilliant mind. Eddie found mental discipline a distasteful quantity and contented himself with a broader range of intellectual develop- ment. As a matter of consequence, he has found, like Byron, that his record is besmirched with a liberal amount of failure, but bolstered with an even more liberal quantity of accomplishment. Witty and flippant in the parlor. Eddie ' s chameleonic character facilitates an easy transmutation to thought with depth. Well travelled, an accomplished reader, and a connoisseur of good music. Eddie ' s education is as com- prehensive and diverse as it is erratic. With proper vocational orienta- tion he should become a successful producer.

The question came from a neat, curly-haired recruit who had to learn the ways of the States as well as of The Citadel. For Scott had lived fourteen of his sixteen years in the land of Bacardi ' s and Sevontas. Someone had to toot a bugle: so, he spent his recruit year in the Band, resigning his corporalship to join H-Mob the beginning of his sophomore year. Interested in his N. Y. A. work, dancing, baseball, and dozens of other things to fill the hours to retreat time, he lived the life of a well-rounded cadet. Today, we give to the world a young American gentleman who has scores of friends to attest to the friendliness, courtesy, and frankness that have made him a well-liked cadet. JULE Ret., Co.

Julius French Haley Coast Artillery — Business Administration Greenville, South Carolina Hooley holds the distinct honor of having worked his way into more hearts than any other member of his class. One of his victims says he does it by his adorable dumbness. George Land, his room- mate and usual eye-witness, says this should not be taken too seri- ously because it is only a part of a very good line. A slight slip of the tongue caused him to leave us his sophomore year, and he then enrolled at Furman. The next year he returned to his first love again and continued his wrestling with Nubbins and the boys in the department which trains future business failures. Next year he plans to put into practice that which has been preached to him and become an executive in a furniture firm. We hope he has more luck in this than he has had in other ventures. [197] N. Hall S. Hall Natt Augustus Hall Coast Artillery — Business Administration AsHEViLLE, North Carolina Nat, Beetle-brow, (or any other such cognomen) will bring this serious-faced cadet to the front. But don ' t let this serious front fool you, because Nat is a cadet who has a disposition which is marked by optimism. He is one cadet who has an excellent sense of humor, being able to both give and take a good joke. Though he has not shone scholastically and has never been recognized by the Military Department, he has borne up bravely under his burdens of misfor- tune. Nat is an expert when it comes to recognizing and criticizing popular songs and orchestras. This ability was recognized by his being placed on the Standing Hop Committee, and manfully has he strived, in the face of nearly undefeatable odds, to bring the best orchestras to the Citadel Hops.

His friends, all of us, have tried to think of some- thing wrong that he has done, but we must conclude that he is too slow to stray from the narrow path. We do know, however, that those frequent trips to Agnes Scott college can mean only true love. George is somewhat retiring, never pushing his way into the spot- light, but. nevertheless, his ability was recognized when early in his junior year the P. M.

Bill has the capacity for having a good time wherever he goes and for making those with him have a good time. He possesses an unexcelled sense of humor and a wealth of droll sayings which have afforded us endless hours of laughter and enjoyment. Despite his comparatively short stay with us. he has formed many lasting friendships. So as Bill pulls the last beat-out of his cadet career, let ' s wish him every success in med ' school next fall. [199] Harris Harrison Herbert Kent Harris Infantry — Political Science Birmingham, Alabama From the moment this flower of the Alabama mountains put on the gray, we saw but one thing written all over him: a military man. His neatness and trim appearance made him the envy of his class- mates. He will be remembered long as one of the Quizzem ' s boys. He has, along with several others of the same group, struggled over deefccult situations. Many are the Monday mornings that King Karl has smeared him and the others under a barrage of questions. The King objects to Sunday night leave, eh Kent? Those years of continuous neatness were not spent in vain, because Kent was chosen Neatest in the senior election. Liked and respected by those who knew him best, he will long be remembered after he has left The Citadel. KENT Ret., Co. C (4); Cpl., Co. C (3); Sgt., Co. B (2); 2nd Lieut., Co. D, 1st Lieut., Co.

John Douglas Harrison, Jr, Coast Artillery — Pre-Medical Greenwood, South Carolina John is a boy whom the teachers found to be an earnest and capable student. He earned the distinction of being a gold star man his fresh- man year, and continued his good work in the Pre-Medical Department. Not only was he an able scholar, but also he took part in many extra- curricular activities. Military attainments came easily for John. He advanced through the usual stages of corporal and sergeant to the rank of captain his senior year. John, with his pleasing personality and friendly ways, won for himself a host of friends. He always wel- comed the opportunity to lend a helping hand to anyone in academic or other difficulties. We can only hope for Harrison that he makes as good a doctor as he has a cadet.

Roger Winters Harshbarger Infantry — Chemistry St. Albans, West Virginia This chubby lad came to us from St. Albans, W. Va., just a few miles from Charleston, we have often heard him say. We who know Junior will all agree that he is a real friend with a heart of gold, likable and cheerful, and one who always takes things as they come and makes the most of them. As well as being a steady member in our class, he has been one of the main cogs in the Light .Brigade forward wall. Junior ' s call in scholastic work has been Chemistry, and he has done well in it. Many is the time that he and the Colonel have entered into a deep discussion of the fundamentals. If he plays this game of life as hard and as consistently as he has his football, he will be hard to stop. Luck to you, fella — happy landings. BOTTLE B Ret., Co. C (4); Cpl., Co. D (3); Pvt..

Paul Godfrey Hass Infantry — Business Ad ministration CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA The command, roll your buttox under. Bottle has consistently contrived to ignore. But, as a matter of fact, he never heeded the regu- lations of authority anyway. Paul has pursued a quiet life, inter- rupted only by mischievous excoriation of his friends, antagonism of his boisterous roommate, and an occasional sortie into the social system — with Minnie. Impervious to insults about his physiog- nomy and physique. Bottle has always countered with something more devastating. Ambition never obsessed him. and a consistent maintenance of high grades has been satisfactory. But this very con- stancy is the most commendable quality in Paul ' s comprehensive personality. His intimate acquaintances always reserved him as the one dependable quantity in a chaotic and flippant society. If Paul fails to make a million it will be due to Charleston ' s incapacity. :2oi] H. Henderson i( W. Henderson Hugh Howard Henderson Coast Artillery — Business Administration Charlotte, North Carolina Hugh will always be remembered for his dry, humorous expressions. His slow drawl and nonchalant manner have made him almost a legend among his classmates. Never seeming to care for rank, he has been a private all the way through. If he had really set his heart to the task, Hugh would probably have made an excellent officer. The height of his ambition was to be able to know more songs and recognize more orchestras than his crony the Beetle-brow. Therefore, if anyone wanted any information in the musical circles, Hugh could always oblige. No one ever saw this lad from Charlotte studying, but he met the demands of the Business professors. His keen intellect and friendly personality will no doubt be as useful to him in the business world as they have been at The Citadel. HUGH Ret., Co. F (4); Pvt., Co. H (3, 2); Pvt., Co.

William Herman Henderson, Jr. Infantry — Political Science Wilmington, North Carolina Bill was perhaps the busiest man in this year ' s Senior Class. Recog- nized as one of the most versatile of our number, he has a finger in almost every pie on the campus. He chose his course wisely when he majored in Political Science because he likes nothing better than a discussion of political or governmental problems. He worked miracles as director of the Athletic Publicity Department in spreading the fame of the Light Brigade. Seldom did he meet a formation on time: he made every minute count, whether sleeping or working. Bogus Bill will certainly succeed in life if he remembers well the things that King Karl attempted to teach him in the Quizzem ' s deefecult subjects. To Wilmington, wc give back a true Citadel Man.

Other than his time taken up on the court, he has been able to survive four years of the Nub ' s course. Not caring much for social activities, Don has, however, been seen with several of the local girls during his college career. The Military Department smiled on Don during his sophomore and junior years, but somehow or other the smile was withdrawn in his senior year. Not too quiet, but not too loud. Don has managed to endear himself to all of his acquaintances. He will be up North in some business soon, but we know that he will be back to see the fellows on some future Homecoming Day.

William Knox Holt Coast Artillery — Business Administration Spartanburg, South Carolina Hailing from Spartanburg, Toby entered the Business Administra- tion course with utmost nonchalance and has proven that the Nub and accounting could not waver his upward progress. His career at The Citadel has been one to be envied. We all knew him as a good fellow and a stellar forward on the basketball court. However, he surprised us all when he turned up with a first sergeant at the end of his sophomore year. Then, as a senior, he became Captain of M ' Company and commander of the crack drill company, Squire ' s familiar face is known to everyone on the campus, and he is especially in his glory in a good bull session. This easy-going, fun-loving cadet will probably be as successful in the insurance business as he was in college. [203] Hughes ' : undert-Mark i Joseph Herman Hughes Infantry — Business Administration MoNTicELLO, Florida Joe came to us four years ago as a freshman and has continued on through the years, making friends with all he meets, which, in itself, is a valuable asset. He made it plain from the beginning that rank was not his main desire, and it seems that rank is not neces- sary, after all, to complete what we term a successful four years. Joe has seen action in nearly all of the various athletics. He began with freshman football and continued with track and basketball. This cadet has always liked his fun as well as any one. and we will never forget some of the trips we ' ve taken with him. On top of all this, we predict that he is headed for success in life, and also the altar, upon graduation. Conrad McTeer Hundert-Mark Infantry — Business Administration Yemassee, South Carolina Connie, one of the most beloved members of the class, has quite a number of amiable traits. He has won a place in the hearts of all who know him through his mild disposition and pleasing personality. While never attaining rank during his stay at The Citadel, he has made quite a name for himself in the academic field, which in our mind is all he has tried for. Those who meet him for the first time are given the impression that he is a shy and retiring fellow, but those who know him as we do, know that he is able to take the lead whenever he so desires. If his life at The Citadel is an example of his life in the future, we know that it will be a success. [204] STRAW Ret.. Co. A (4); Cpl., Co. A (.1); Sgt Co. B (2); Pvt., Co.

William Marks Hutson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Panama Bill is the true army Brat. Though he was handicapped by the fact that he entered The Citadel as a sophomore recruit, he has risen rapidly. He became a high-ranking sergeant his junior year and a higher ranking first lieutenant his last year. So has he risen in the esteem and affections of those who know him. He has the mind and qualifications of an Engineer, and well has he used these assets while at The Citadel. Bill has not lagged behind in the social field. On many week-ends he has been seen going through South Gate in a cloud of dust. He is a cadet who will make his way in the world and will fulfill the high expectations held for him by many.

Charles Austin Jackson Infantry — Business Administration Hartsville, South Carolina Many small towns have produced great men. and Hartsville ' s product is no exception. Rather lively, very modest, and possessing all quali- ties of a gentleman, is Jackson. Punk has proved himself a leader in the social, campus, and military phases of Citadel life. The first mess hall found him ready for the fray. Since that time he has battled successfully with the strong army of painted warriors. His election to the Presidency of the Senior Class and the Y, ' and his membership to the Ring Committee are indications of his popularity here, and he has made a steady climb in the military aspect. Judging from his past record we are sure that he will be successful in any venture that he undertakes. [205; Jenkins Johnson James Wiggins Jenkins, Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Henderson, North Carolina Here is a cadet who has certainly made a wonderful record while at The Citadel. As Lieutenant-Colonel he has had a hard job and has performed it perfectly. Although a little lazy, Jack is very capable and conscientious. This is evidenced by the way in which he has carried out all of his many duties, and. by the way. in which he has taken charge of Murray Barracks. Jack is one of the few cadets who have shown a great interest in extra-curricular activities. This young man from Henderson will be hard to replace in the cadet corps. We believe, however, that success will follow him in the business world as it has done while he was a cadet. Best of luck to a fine Tar Heel. Paul Erwin Johnson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering New York, New York P. E. joined our ranks in the fall of ' 35 straight from Hargrave Military Academy, and with this previous military training he has been able to remain a step or so ahead of us throughout our sojourn here. As a guide of the drill platoon for two years, he has particu- larly shown his ability to set the step. Although Paul has pro- nounced himself heedless to the snares of the fairer sex. we well remember how close he came to falling in love at Pensacola. Aca- demically, Paul has managed to survive several skirmishes with the T Square department, and now shows promise of being a success- ful engineer. We hope that Bub ' s efforts will not go to naught. We ' ll always remember the Yank for his ready smile and his irreproachable air of nonchalance. JACK Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Co.

We have found him to be quite a ladies ' man with a habit of picking them young, but perhaps that ' s the safest way. Studying with Bub, he hopes upon graduation to land an easy job in the construction business, and there is not a doubt but that he will go far. He has a mind of his own which even the poundings of the profs have not succeeded in changing at times. As he steps out into the cruel world he is backed by our wishes for good luck, and with his determination to do well we know that he ' ll succeed wherever his path may lead him. James William Keene Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Pensacola, Florida Four years ago Jimmie Keene, known to many as Shorty owing to his rather tall stature, came to The Citadel from those romp- ing grounds of the coast artillery juniors, the fair city of Pensacola. Jimmie has been able to make excellent grades all through his four college years without appearing to have done anything to obtain them. Although possessed of military ability he did not have good luck in his relations with some cadet officers. In spite of all his ill fortunes, Jimmie was not kept down. The college authorities recognized his qualities by trusting him with positions which required strong leader- ship and character. These characteristics, plus a brilliant mind and a desire to help everyone, assure Jimmie of a successful life in this world. [207] Kenan KiTCHELL Thomas Augustine Kenan Infantry — Civil Engineering ATLANTA, Georgia Whatever the nickname — whether it be Uncle Tom, Buck- tooth, or Tombstone — Tom carved for himself a peculiarly shaped niche in The Citadel ' s hall of fame — peculiar by virtue of its scintillating academic and glamorous military accomplishment unac- companied by the sycophantic, deferential qualities generally ascribed to those ascending the heights. As a matter of fact Uncle Tom gained his sovereignty the hard way — by assiduous study and almost ineffable efficiency. No Adonis nor hardly as paragon of parlance, not even gifted with an expeditious perception of the incongruous, Tom ' s are rather the qualities of the terrapin — an inexorable traveller of the paths of Ophir. Napoleon, too, was an engineer — an engineer of infinite ability and machine-like efficiency. A whiff of grape made him famous. William George Kitchell Coast Artillery — Pre- Medical GARDEN City, New York This Long Islander ' s ideals and sense of duty attained for him an enviable record during his four years at The Citadel. Quiet, friendly, and unassuming. Bill is known by his classmates as a good sport always ready for a good time. Active in the yacht club, he showed in several instances his excellent knowledge of sailing. Bill rode his motorcycle incessantly until the summer after his sophomore year, when he suffered a bad accident. However, he reported to school his junior year, ready to do whatever was expected of him. As a member of the varsity rifle team he has shown himself to be a good shot and one to be depended on. This sort of spirit will carry Bill a long way, and some day he will come out on top. UNCLE TOM Ret., Co. C (4); Cpl., Co. C (3); 1st Sgt., Co. C (2); Col., Regt.

Richard Bradly Knapp Infantry — Business Administration Charlotte, North Carolina Those of us who know him best may criticize him. but in the final analysis we must all admit that he is a Citadel man. Dick was frank with others and frank with himself, with the kind of frank- ness that builds up. but that at times almost got him in dutch. As a student of Jewish Engineering he stood well in his class. With his keen insight and natural inquisitiveness, Dick should go far in the world of business. He isn ' t interested primarily in the opposite sex, but in the art of woo, he ' s a picker of beauty. Local debutantes will miss this blond Romeo — so shall we. Dick will succeed. He works hard and has the character and strong courage of convictions to back it. Adios, to a staunch and loyal friend. DUTCH Ret., Co. A (4); Pvt., Co. B (3, 2, 1); Pre-Med. Soc.

Not because he is only too willing to share everything anyone has, but because for four years he has been the school ' s outstanding cham- pion of fencing. This year saw his dream come true, and now The Citadel has a fencing team. We only hope Dutch will be as success- ful in the world of medicine as he has been in college, and for the benefit of his future patients, we hope he will forget his fencing tactics when he starts operating. In Citadel lingo, he may be said to be one who is known as a bolshevik — A private born and a private bred, a private till he ' s dead I Good luck to you, George. [209] Land Latham George Rhea Land. Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Greenville, South Carolina George has suffered many losses and reverses during his career at The Citadel, but he has carried on in a manner which is a great credit to him. He is the type of cadet who forms the backbone of this institution. The fact that he has not been outstanding is no sign that he couldn ' t be if his desires led him in that direction. George has proved to be a friend to many cadets. He has a steadfast loyalty to everything in which he believes. During his underclass years here George showed himself as a night-owl and a dark-horseman of no ill repute. In his last year, though he took many week-end leaves, his reasons had changed from the lighter to the more serious. Though we are certain that he will not have much trouble in carving his niche, we wish him luck and much happiness. James Colson Latham Infantry — Business Administration Moultrie, Georgia Jim has a strong personality, will power, and much determina- tion, all of which will be used some day as a stepping stone to suc- cess. On the other hand, Jim loves his fun when it is time for fun. Many are the hours that we have listened to him sling the old bull. which is an asset in itself. Jim ' s rank was not quite what he wanted it to be, but that did not keep him from trying to help build the Band into an efficient military organization. In addition to his military, he was also one of the best musicians in the Band. We wish you all the luck in the world, ' Jim, and know that yours will be a successful life. 1 GEORGE Ret., Co.

Although he was responsible for considerable hell-raising, a goodly portion of his time was spent in study with the results that he made good grades throughout his four years. Being one of the disciples of King Karl we are certain of his success in the diplomatic field of love, for this short, curly- haired lad is quite a dancer and has won much feminine admiration by his ability to step. He could often be seen dashing about the country-side in his automobile to see his ' ' loved one in the Capital city. His ferocious attitude and ability to get what he wants will go far in making him a success in life. WILD BILL Ret., Co, A (4); Pvt., Co. A (3); Pvt., Sgt., Co. A (2); 2nd Lieut., Co.

Going on each annual tour of the Glee Club and taking part in many special programs. Bill was rewarded for his efforts by being elected vice-president of the club his senior year. Not until he became a junior did the Military Department recognize Bill ' s military ability by making him a sergeant. Upon becoming a senior, he was made a lieutenant in A Company. Only a genius such as Bill can sleep so much, take full advantage of all available leave, and still remain in good standing with Bub and his cohorts.

Although our first impres- sion was that Bill was quiet and reserved, he has proved himself to be an interesting conversationalist. His excellent ability as a listener, his ready smile, and his keen sense of humor proves the old adage still water runs deep. Bill has chosen the legal profession for his life ' s work. Owing to his repeated declarations of such inten- tions, he has been nick-named Lawyer by his intimate friends. He has stood high in his class in both his military and academic work.

But it was not his love for the sea that took him to the Navy Yard so frequently during the past four years. Women and song were the principal reasons for his oft-repeated visits. Although never holding rank, Jimmy prob- ably knows as much about military as any other cadet who graduates this year. He had one year at Porter, four at The Citadel, and will probably have four more at the Point. His winning and attractive personality along with a strong determination and excellent military training will no doubt aid Jimmy toward a brilliant army career. BILLY Pvt., Co. F (4); Cpl., Co.

He has always been well known for his conscientious attitude toward his academic work, his extra-curricular activities, and his faithful performance of military duties. A very popular and well liked cadet, he has carved a niche for himself in the ranks of his classmates and the Corps. Never a bolshevist, Will had his share of good times without falling into the clutches of the Dough ' s boys or their successors. He was a fine companion and a steadying influence.

Having hopes of entering the service after his stay at The Citadel. Jack continued to hold an enviable position in the eyes of the Corps. During his sophomore year the Savannah cadet won the Star of the West medal and in his senior year was elected Com- mander of the Senior Drill Platoon. He can be serious or care-free at any time and. consequently, was one of the most popular boys on the campus.

Friendly, considerate, and kind to dumb animals, are the characteristics by which we identify him. Some of us think that if it had not been for the influence of Duncan, which appeared in its full force at camp last summer, Bill would have done well in the ministry. However, he adopted Chemistry as his major and his alert mind has served him well in this course. For one who has such a ready wit and so many likable qualities, we wish only the best. MAC Ret., Co.

David Bee McFadden, Jr. Coast Artillery — Pre-Medical Rock Hill, South Carolina Mac survived his freshman and sophomore years under the great difficulties of having Casanova, J. R. Williams, for a roommate and of casting his lot with the Yacht Club boys. The latter probably caused Mac the most trouble. His first attempt at sailing was indeed a total flop, as Mac was finally rescued by two members of the opposite sex. Thus, he had two scores to settle before graduation, and he succeeded in both. Mac soon became an excellent sailor, and while he did not exactly leave a trail of broken hearts behind him, we are told that the score is two to one in Mac ' s favor. When Mac leaves The Citadel, the Yacht Club loses one of its most active mem- bers, but we shall never forget him. [215] • • • McKeithen Mager Jere Norfleet McKeithen Infantry — Business Administration Aberdeen, North Carolina Gentleman Jeremiah is what a few people call him, but most of us liked Mac best. He, too, struggled through that freshman year spending many a miserable Saturday afternoon on the quad. But Mac didn ' t learn what demerits were until his sophomore year when he tried to reform the Blue Book. One will always find him present at Hops and Messhalls, for he is at his best at social affairs. Along with his leaning toward the fairer sex, especially one member, he is a born enthusiast of smooth rhythm. With a mood for every occasion, Jere has a very level head, and his classmates have learned to respect him for his good judgment, high aspirations, and unsurpassable prin- ciples. Jere has never been one to live in a book, but he always managed to get by. MAC Ret., Co. A (4); Pvt., Co. B (3); Sgt., Co. B (2); 2nd Lieut., Co.

Always jovial and not letting the matter of chevrons worry him, he has for the past two years been seeing the town. During his ramblings he has come to have high regard for several of these Southern belles, but has not yet been securely tied down.

A plugger by nature, Ozzie stuck with football in spite of his small size with the result that he was outstanding in the Brigade ' s backfield his senior year. He also held down a first string berth on the varsity baseball team for three years, and he could really hit that apple. Ozzie excelled in the art of bull-shooting and brightened many an afternoon for the boys with his jocular tales. Lessons never worried him much; he always managed to pass. Cupid shot Ozzie his junior year, and he made many trips to see his one and only. As a loyal friend, entertaining companion, and hail-fellow-well-met, Ozzie will be long remembered in this world; he has won numerous friends by his straight-forwardness, determination, and friendly attitude.

Needless to say he possesses all of the requirements necessary for that exalted position. Even after a little affair of the heart during his sophomore year, which usually leaves one in a daze, he still swings along with that same duck stride. That ' s one of his many good qualities, he can take the worst without a change of pace. Ask those Furman boys. Frank was more interested in an European trip with Major Wilson than he was in Nub ' s Jewish Engineering. He succeeded, however, in coming through the rough and emerging as a promising business man. With his pleasing personality and sound judgment, he is assured of success. [217] I MiLFORD • MiLIKIN Charles Orrin Milford. Jr. Coast Artillery — Business Administration Greenville, South Carolina Gold stars have never bedecked this young Greenvillean ' s collar but many times have they cast their shadow on him. No matter whether he accepts a teaching position in some college or enters his father ' s insur- ance business, Charlie will undoubtedly be a success. Although stub- born and impetuous sometimes, he has won many friends by his quick thinking and efficient discharge of duty. Not a single vote did he receive for Most in Love, but in truth, he deserves this title as much as anyone in school. This same affection is drawing one of Nub ' s capable students to Harvard, the next-door neighbor of Wellesley. where he can continue his education along intellectual and romantic lines. Let us hope that he will be very successful in both enterprises. CHARLIE Ret., Co. E (4); Pvt., Co. G (3); Pvt., Sgt., Co. G (2); 2nd Lieut., Co.

Lindsay Baker Milikin Infantry — Physics Jesup, Georgia Looncy belies his name, which was conferred more for allitera- tive than practical purposes. Gifted with a virile and cynical mind, contemptuous of everyone but his intimates, and unwilling to yield to fetters, The Enfant has enjoyed his Citadel career in a rather negative way. Consistently making high marks in one of the toughest courses in school, Lindsay has salvaged the personal satisfaction of knowing that his record is garnished with the accomplishments of self and not by deferential agreement with the powers that be. Candor has troubled him more than once, on one occasion engendering the wrath of the military with all concomitant injustice. But The Enfant has always contrived to escape, by remembering the time-honored injunction of leaving passage for withdrawal. Frederick the Great, too, had a misanthropic perspective.

John Robert Millar, Jr. Infantry — English MARIETTA, Georgia We don ' t know exactly what these Georgia men have, but evidently it has driving power. Frequently we run across a person of Jack ' s ability, but we seldom find one that has the perseverance to amply apply this gift. Jack ' s determination to realize his ambitions have characterized his four years at The Citadel. The Round Table and Sphinx are two tangible results of his efforts. Jack has always had the knack of getting things done, which should reap him some degree of success out in the big pond. In an unassuming way Jack has made many friends within the Corps, and his friendship will be long remembered. Let us without caution indulge in the supposition that wherever Jack goes or whatever he does, if he will continue with the same spirit that he has shown here, success will be within his grasp. John Butler Milling Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Greenwood, South Carolina Butler, better known to his many friends as Mr. Bud, came to us as the pride of the fair city of Greenwood. Immediately upon his arrival here, for self-preservation, Butler gained the Band privileges. While never aspiring to the heights of having the gilt adornments on his collar, Butler has achieved much from his many dreamy hours in class and from his being the center of many nightly bull-sessions. Having never been overly ambitious, Butler has nevertheless succeeded in steadily acquiring his share of chevrons during his four years. With his nonchalant attitude, his ever winning personality, and his keen wit, coupled with a marked seriousness of thought, this one of Colonel Bub ' s boys is going to reach the peak of success in his chosen field. [219] MiLLON ■ Moore John Robert Millon Coast Artillery — Chemistry Long Beach, California High ideals and a strong sense of duty, coupled with considerable ability, have made this energetic little Californian ' s record one to be envied. John is a mean typist and his column on happenings at The Citadel appeared all during his junior year in the Evening Post. John has ranked among the highest in his class each year in military, and we who know him were little surprised at his appointment to the captaincy of the Artillery Ducks. A former resident of Charleston, John has a way with townsfolk, and seldom, if ever failed to eat a Sunday meal with some of them. With all his pluck and energy, John is bound to come out on top wherever he goes. JUG HEAD Ret., Co. D (4); Guidon Cpl., Co. E (3); Tech. Sgt., Regt. Staff (2); Capt., Co.

It seems that the girls feel the same as we do about him, considering his many visits to certain schools throughout the state. Need we mention Converse! ' Never let it be said that Jimmie believes in all play and no work. While at Pensacola at the end of his junior year, his military ability was recognized, and as a consequence, our senior year found him a cadet officer, modest yet inwardly proud. In his studies he has plugged hard and has been successful. With these qualities and the knowledge instilled in him by King Karl and his cohorts, Jimmie should go far in this life.

William Thomas Moss Coast Artillery — Physics Rock Hill, south Carolina Billy ' s four years at The Citadel have been very profitable, not only to him. but to all those who came in contact with him. Anyone who patterned himself after Moss would find himself with a host of friends, gold stars, and recognition of military ability. Moss ' s activi- ties have not been confined to The Citadel. Although quiet and unpre- possessive, he has made a dent in the heart of many a Charleston lass. Scarcely a Sunday passes that we don ' t see this sturdy mariner sailing up and down the Ashley, even after flirting with a watery death. If success in the world is as easy for this Rock Hillian as it was at The Citadel, he will stand out in his profession. George Franklin Moznette, Jr. Infantry — Civil Engineering Albany, Georgia Four years ago, as a bewildered freshman, we double timed and squared our way into a freshman bull session. Moznette sat quietly in the corner of the room. Immediately he impressed us with his neatness and clean-cut appearance. Today Moz is still the same quiet, unassuming fellow he was then. He holds rank, and carries it well. Although still being very neat, he is hampered slightly by an inferiority complex which is manifested in his extreme modesty. One of his distinguishing characteristics is his walk which combines all the advantages of free wheeling, floating power, and knee action, and is referred to by his classmates as the Moznette glide. Thus a straight line may be defined as the locus of Moz ' s head moving between the Engineering Hall and Barracks. [221] Murphy Murray William Milton Murphy Infantry — Political Science Orlando, Florida Bill comes from Florida; his nonchalant outlook on life surely is a reflection of the warm, pleasant land from which he hails. Bill has had a hand in many of the extra-curricular activities, and he has stil! found time to add his quick wit to numerous bull-sessions. He wins everyone over with his charmingly friendly and polite manners, and he holds his friends with his loyalty and manliness. Bill was never intended to be under close restrictions and, knowing that, he thought he would test himself to see if he could stand The Citadel ' s worst. He put himself to the test more than once, to be sure, and only he knows the answer. Being one of Quizzem ' s ' boys. Bill will succeed easily, and we expect to hear great things from him. Russell Evans Murray Infantry — Business Administration Fort Valley, Georgia Russ, C Company Captain, always considered himself as a per- sonal representative of the State of Georgia. Company commander and a good one. always eflicient and a hard task-master, he may not have run the company to suit everyone in it. but he did his job con- scientiously. He possesses a tenacity of purpose, an unflinching con- viction of what is right, and a quick resentment of all that seems unjust. However. Russell was always more interested in the Bond of Matrimony than Bond Hall, and was constantly looking forward to the day when he could settle down in dear old Georgia. How- ever, he was always faced with those Jewish Engineering assign- ments by Nub and Company. As a friend, he has been genuine, and it is with deep regret that wc sec him go at graduation.

This he succeeded when he acquired high rank his sophomore and junior years, but lo, his cockiness was soon noticed by the military department, and he ended up a third Lewutenant his senior year. However, he succeeded in making good grades in Louis ' s department, as he determines to make good in Medicine. Short Stride has a tendency to fall in love with a different girl every year, maybe two or three times per year, and claims each to be his O. A. O.. but she usually ends up as ours and ours too.

Edwin Karl Newman Infantry — Business Administration Winston-Salem, North Carolina Hailing from Winston, this jolly, good-natured fellow acquired the name of Benny from the Corps. Benny is playful and prank- ish, but he has always succeeded in becoming serious when necessary. This fact can be proven if we take note of the rank that he attained during his senior year. However, his ability for telling tales (we sometimes wonder about their veracity) and singing that good ole mountain music is surpassed by none. Benny ' s collar was never adorned with gilt, but he has succeeded in maintaining fair grades. He took a very little part in extra-curricular activities, but he was always ready to add his bit to a good bull-session. Never a big social hound, nor a lady-killer, he succeeded in maintaining his prestige in the privateers. Happy singing, Benny ! [223] - Padgett Palmer Jack Pershing Padgett Infantry — Chemistry Johns Island, South Carolina A fighter in scholarly things, a fighter in the ring, so, let us wish for hi s fight in life to parallel these. In his easy-going way Jack has succeeded in deeply impressing everyone that came in contact with him. His personality and his ability for intelligent conversation are his outstanding features. Jack never did allow the military side of his cadet life to affect him seriously, but he always succeeded in hold- ing good rank. We must admit that he had quite a little pressure upon him during his senior year when he decided to take the Chemistry course with the Wellford Flash at his side. Never over-studying or digging beyond reasonable bounds. Jack has consistently made good grades and a good name for himself. Walter Alfred Palmer Infantry — Business Administration WAYCROss. Georgia Walt ' s stock of tall tales gained for him supremacy among all buU- slingers. Backed by cold facts gained from an early period of living on his own. and embellished by an imagination inferior to none, his stories have roused many a lethargic session to the fever pitch of a raging battle. Smooth words and an astute business ability have gained Walt a Corps- wide reputation. He suffered his greatest delusion at The Rock when he allowed Nub to hitch-hike him into the B.A. course. Even this could not keep him down. Late in his junior year he received a severe setback at the hands of Royall, only after he had visited his OAO up in the Blue Ridge: and since recovering from this, Walt has walked the straight and narrow path.

Marion Arendell Parrott Infantry — Political Science KiNSTON, North Carolina You probably know him by the name. Hap. although his name is Marion Parrott. Hap has never been very much concerned with what he considers the less important things in life. Studying things that interest him takes up the major portion of his time. His social life is conservative, consisting mainly of Sunday evening jaunts to the Waffle Shop with Bill Crawford to escape the ineffectiveness of supper here. Though not a personality kid. he is a good mixer with a subtle sense of humor and a happy-go-lucky outlook on life. That ' s where Hap comes from. Wherever he goes, if he will see things as he sees them now and use his judgment as effectively as he has used it here, we are sure that he will make a dent in the world. Edward Bell Patrick Coast Artillery — Business Administration SAVANNAH, Georgia The end of our freshman year found this Savannah Geech well up near the top of our class in conduct. But don ' t be misled. It ' s just E. B. ' s inherent neatness which has earned him a good record in our military life. A good student, but never a book worm. E. B. has also proved bis worth in the academic field. During his senior year he served as President of the Savannah Citadel Club. Being possessed with somewhat of a journalistic knack, he served well on the staffs of the college publications. With his ability for doing his appointed task well, E.

He has as many girls as he has fingers and toes — blondes, brunettes, red-heads, ranging from the ages of fourteen to thirty. We have no fear that Peter will become a C.P.A.. and everybody please refrain from mentioning the name Whitty ' in his presence for he is apt to start raging and foaming at the mouth.

South Carolina Dave is one of those rare persons who is capable and efficient and yet does not broadcast his ability to the world. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be numbered among his friends were not fooled by his modest, unassuming manner. He always knew how to solve any situation that might arise, and many was the time that he was called upon for his opinion. Dave is another one of those business boys who never bother to study much, but always come through. On leave nights be was not one to be found hanging around barracks. and quite often stayed out after twelve.

From his first week at school, Bush has continued to increase the number of his friends within the corps. Few members of the class know as many people or are known by as many as this healthy graduate. One of the highest ambitions Bush manifested was to play football on the first team. For three years he plugged uncomplainingly. During his senior year his efforts were rewarded with a chance to play blocking back, and he showed himself to be one of the smartest quarterbacks The Citadel has had in years. Personality, perseverance, intelligence, and journal- istic ability will undoubtedly contribute to the career Bush selects. CLANCY Ret., Co. E (4); Pvt., Co. F (3); Sgt., Co. F, Pvt., Co.

A champion chess player, a fencer of no mean ability, a quick-thinking, book-loving student, and a boxer of quite some ability is this slightly- built lad. He wasn ' t blessed by being enrolled in the R. O. T. C. his junior year, but he proved himself a man by going to C. M. T. C. camp and becoming a Bugaboo.

[227] ■ Perrin Peurifoy Lewis Wardlaw Perrin, Jr. Coast Artillery — Political Science Spartanburg, South Carolina Buck. one of Karl ' s boys, hails from Spartanburg and is proud of it. Being one of the boys he spent many pleasant week-ends at Folly, on football trips, and on the one-day jaunts to Savannah. His only vice, as we see it. is his disconcerting habit of losing his money in peculiar places on the afore-mentioned trips. Buck ' s military worth was soon recognized by the Moose and his cohorts, and he has held rank continuously since his sophomore year, spending the last two years on the battalion and regimental staffs respectively. It is with regret that we say good-bye to a true friend, and we wish him the great success he truly deserves in law, his chosen field. Hugh Owens Peurifoy Infantry — English Walterboro, South Carolina Hugh has worked hard during his stay at The Citadel and has maintained a high scholastic standing.

Quiet, unassuming, and displaying a great deal of interest in his field of work. Hugh, a major in English, is the leading light in Old Chap ' s corporation. Hugh never took an active part in extra-curricular activities of any sort, but those of us who knew him well, recognized his abilities.

Billy is capable and means well; hence, we wish for him a more serious future. GENE Ret., Co. E (4); Pvt., Cpl., Co. E (3); Sgt., Co. F (2); Pvt., Co. I (1); Box- ing (3). Kenneth Eugene Powers Coast Artillery — Business Administration Meggett, South Carolina Say, ' Gene ' , could you do a pal a favor? No. He invariably says no. but he has never been known to fail a friend. He has his own troubles, but he seldom makes them known and will always crowd them aside to make room for those of his friends. Gene is very much at home on the dance floor. His academic battles with the Business Department never caused him great sorrow nor took much of his time, so he divided his leisure hours between working for Zeke and the study of air-conditioning. Such an industrious attack on life, we know, will carry Gene a long way on the road to success. [229] Pregnall jl Prevost Robert Richardson Pregnall, Jr. Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charleston, South Carolina Another of our Engineers is this handsome K-det. Though he has not shone during his career at The Citadel, he has those enduring qualities which push men forward in their quest for the better things of life. Friendly and affable. Robbie will leave a vacant place in the affections of many cadets. Pregnall has acted as a restraint for his hot-headed roommate and it is probable that on many occasions he has saved him from a reaming. Pregnall has been noted by the Military Department every year, and every year his name has been on the lists of appointments and reappointments. Few cadets will leave a better record at The Citadel than will he: we predict a happy and successful future for him. ROBBIE Ret., Co. F (4); Cpl.. Co. H (3); Plat. Sgt., Co. H (2); 2nd Lieut., Co.

Frank Keith Prevost Infantry — Business Administration Anderson, South Carolina Pre, as he is affectionately called by his classmates, is one of the best all-around fellows that we have known. With his combined characteristics of friendliness, dependability, and good nature he has easily won favor among the Corps. As a member of the Y Cabinet he has also exhibited his ability. The Pre is a good man to have around when one of those sessions for the advancement of education gets started. With his whole-hearted chuckle he makes the rest of the council of bulls enjoy even the worst attempts at wit. Frank has never had to bother about sewing on chevrons, but he is in no way lacking the requirements of an officer and a gentleman. Here ' s luck to a darn good soldier. [230] PRE Ret., Co.

Majoring in physics, he stood high in his class for four years, and at the same time held down a first-string berth on both the varsity and freshman basketball teams. Possessing a way with the women he acquired several nick-name s which sounded strangely like Love. Romance. or something along that line. His wit and quick comeback make him a master at bull- shooting. He ' ll never forget the Scenic Terrace nor Pensacola Beach, for he spent many a happy hour there with his buddies. A staunch friend, fine athlete, good sport, and all-around fine fellow, Julian will go to the top in whatever field he chooses to follow upon graduation. POP Pvt., Co. E (4); Cpl., Co.

William Robert Rainey Artillery — Business Administration Sharon, South Carolina Pop is, as his name implies, a Dorothy Dix at The Citadel. He is indeed, a fatherly soul. This fatherliness is founded, however, on his great desire to help the unfortunate. Have you ever been worried? Consult Pop. Bill ' s broad smile has boosted many forlorn boys out of the dumps. This country gentleman would rather talk baseball than eat. He loves to tell of the times he caught heap much big game, and of the time he hit the mule with his fist. Even though Pop has stuck close to his books, he is far from being a book worm. As manager of the baseball team he has demonstrated his ability to get things done in a business-like manner. Those who know Bill will always remember him as a friend to all. [231j Ressijac ■jl Rhame Louis Howard Ressijac Infantry — Business Administration Mobile, Alabama Leathcr-Iunged Lou, the Kaydet from down ' Bama way, has certainly made a name for himself since his entrenchment at The Citadel. Other than being popular with his mates, Lou was Busi- ness Manager of The Bull Dog, a varsity track man, and a Company Commander, which speaks well for anyone. Chump, a name he acquired on the Wake Forest trip, is the core of a glib social circle and a familiar figure at cadet cotillions. Infantrymen will never forget the quadrangle-length conversations with Bush or the after-taps whispers in the dark with Bottle. No future President is he, but a solid contribution to Mobile dcnizenry. This son of Nub has the ability to do well in whatever field he enters, so, to you, Lou, our best wishes for a most successful life. MONK Pvt., Co. B (4); Cpl., Co. C (3); Sgt.,. Plat. Sgt., Co.

He is leaving us as a well- developed, all- ' round man, with a store of useful knowledge to carry with him into his chosen field; Physics. He is leaving behind a host of friends, who will miss his ever present witticisms, his remarkable stories, his pleasing personality, and his practical — almost pessimistic — way of looking at situations and ideas. Robert has that exceptional quality of accepting nothing without first seeing it sans couvert. He is blessed with an abundance of common sense and reasoning power that will serve him well in the bright future we predict for him. [232] ROBERT Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Pvt., Co. F (3); Pvt., Co.

Florida. He possesses broad shoulders, curly hair, and pretty eyes. These features probably played no small part in his being voted in the Senior Superlatives, God ' s gift to women. He is not solely a ladies ' man, for he is popular with his classmates, as evidenced by his election as secretary-treasurer of his class, and his membership on the S. H. C. Although Dan is a charter member of the Gloom Club, every gathering or bull-session is notably bright- ened by his quick and keen wit. Gable must have enjoyed the mili- tary side of life, for he was leading guide of the Summerall Guards, and a 2nd lieutenant. Best of luck, Dan! Stanley Ross Roberts Infantry — Pre-Medical Cerulean, Kentucky This congenial, happy-go-lucky Kentuckian had always lived in a peaceful little village where the Golden Rule prevailed. He left a Jewel there and came all the way to South Carolina just to be a soldier. Being rather green, he poked around quietly until he became enslaved to the Rowdy Riley from whom he learned many tricks of the old school. Stanley learned to dance and didn ' t lose much time in becoming acquainted with several Charleston lassies. Never being the type to study too hard or worry about anything, he has found much time to keep the fairer sex of this city thanking him for his attention. We know Stanley will have no trouble getting along in this world because of his quiet, unassuming attitude and case of getting along with everyone. [233] • Sabados X Shaw Andrew Alex Sabados Infantry — Business Administration Aurora, Illinois , . There ' s Sabados going out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage with that ' circus-horse trot ' . . .. Many are the times that we have heard the radio announcer say this during a Citadel football game; and, this is the activity by which we shall all remember Andy best. Andy stood out in other sports as well. Some claim that Damn- yankees are different, but this Illinois lad can not be called that, for he is as fine a fellow as has ever entered the sallyport. He came here with the determination to do good, and this he has done, even though Nub and his cohorts attempted to smear him under a tackling of Jewish Engineering. Andy, we wish you as much luck in your chosen field as you have had on the athletic field. John Corwin Shaw, Jr. Infantry — Cit iV Engineering Fort F. E. Warren, Wyoming The Dog ' s are not the qualities of a glamour boy, being neither ostentatious nor devoid of sincerity. Conversely, his tastes are rather simple, finding satisfaction in an occasional visit to the House of Slick, a physical and verbal joust with his roommate, or a Sunday afternoon ' s soliloquy while pacing the waterfront. Regarded by a not inconsiderable group of friends as loyal and dependable, and certainly among the most moral and principled of cadets, Corwin has made a substantial if not spectacular contribution to cadet life. From the out- set of his college career his oKsessive vocational desire was a salient feature of his character — to be an army officer. Each succeeding year has but strengthened his decision, and the crowning achievement of officialdom has brought consummation. An army brat by breeding and proud acceptance. ANDY Ret.. Co.

Cecil Woodrow Shuler Infantry — History Elloree, South Carolina Conscientiousness is the keynote of his character. If you want a job to be well done, ask Cecil, and whether manual work or super- vision be required, he can do it and do it well. Deliberate and precise, he never offers any unwanted advice or opinion, but when you ask him for his judgment it is usually as sound as Gibraltar. Gifted with a keen mind and possessing unlimited will power, Cecil has conscien- tiously applied himself to everything he has undertaken. His genuine good nature and his willingness to help his friends have gained for him the heartiest esteem of all his classmates. Cecil has played his part well. He has been a good soldier and a fine friend, and whatever field of endeavor he chooses, we wish him success. Joseph Wynne Simmons Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering TlMMONSVlLLE, SOUTH CAROLINA Josie is one cadet who believes in taking it easy. Never in a hurry and seldom excited, this cadet finishes his term at The Citadel. Though some think him stupid, this is not true for he has managed to get by without much trouble. He nearly got rank his junior year but did not know how to operate a typewriter. Joe, who by the way, once went to West Point as a cadet, will always be remembered because of his well-shined shoes. None were brighter than his. He also appeared on a radio program. In fact, Joe has led a life that has been full of variety. As he leaves with tears in his eyes we wish for him a future that will be more happy and fortunate than has been his past. [235: SiNGLETARY H. Smith Herman Lamar Singletary Infantry — Pre-Medical Lake City, South Carolina Here we have Single-Cell, Pop-Eye, The Brute, Skou- gaard, etc. Herman has doubtlessly suffered more from nick-names than any other member of the class. He swore that he would leave after his sophomore year, but our senior year still found him here. Singletary soared high as a disciple of Skougaard. He began his vocal career as a freshman, and his ability and excellent voice culminated in his being president of the Glee Club his final year. Medicine is the chosen career of Singletary, and a splendid choice he made. He was outstanding in his class being one of the foremost members, and president of the newly inaugurated Pre-Medical Society of The Citadel. His steadfastness, character, and his dependability destine Herman to utmost success in the medical profession. POPEYE Ret, Co. A (4); Cpl., Co. A (3); Plat. Sgt., Co. A (2); 2nd Lieut., Co.

Tennessee In writing such a character sketch, it is necessary to look for some one trait which stands out above everything else, and with Smitty it is bull-shooting. In fact, word of this young Tennesseean ' s ability in such sessions has spread throughout barracks. One of Bub ' s boys, Smitty has had a fairly easy time of it, at least his studies have never caused him to lose any sleep. Not much of a social hound, Smitty has been content to settle down to one Dorothy he re in the historical city by the sea. For his last two years Smitty has been a staff man, occupied with aiding The Major in Citadel publicity.

He has proved his ability to master the tasks in his path, and his scholastic achievements have been pleasantly blended with a keen sense of humor. We look with envy upon Wilbur ' s smooth convincing way of expressing himself both in speech and with the pen. There is no doubt but that this ability will aid him in finding his place among outstanding business men. Having had his turn with the girls, he was finally captivated by the winsome smile of a home-town blonde. However, Wilbur acted and lived his best as president of the Edisto-Citadel Club.

Your time will not be wasted: this big fellow can speak on almost anything. Characterized by his good nature, his keen judgment, and his argumentative ability, Bubber has made a host of friends both at The Citadel and in Charleston. As right end and alternate captain of the football team, he has made quite a name for himself i n football annals. Upon graduation, Bub plans to study law, and if his career at The Citadel is any indication of what he will do in later life, his success is inevitable. -■% i- [237] ■ SOUTTER Charles Henry Soutter Infantry — Civil Engineering Minneapolis, Minnesota During his four years at The Citadel, Chuck never showed any great amount of interest in the military phase of the schooi, and, therefore, has gone through with a clean sleeve. It is a mystery to us how he was able to succeed academically with such a minimum amount of studying, but nevertheless, he did. and we ' d say with flying colors. Very few cadets really knew Chuck well, but those who did were well rewarded for their efforts by gaining one of the best friends that a man could want. He was another of those men who slighted the society of Charleston because he preferred the company of his fellow cadets. Quite accomplished in bull-shooting, Chuck was ready, willing, and able to talk on any subject, and spent much of his time in this way. He will probably carve a name in the field of engineering that will be envied by many. Here ' s to you, fellow! Spann I CHUCK Ret., Co. C (4); Pvt., Co. D (.i, 2); Pvt., Co. F (1); Am. Soc.

Charles Lewis Spann Coflsf Artillery — Pre-Medical Bamberg, South Carolina Charlie, the only senior from Bamberg, has been a happy-go-lucky cadet and one of the best liked men at the college during his entire four years here. Always smiling and friendly, Needle has made many true friends among both sexes but has thus far avoided Cupid ' s dart. His willingness to help others has increased their admiration for him. He never had his collar adorned with stars, but he did put forth determined effort. Desiring to serve humanity in the capacity of a doctor, Charlie has taken the Pre-Medical course at The Citadel and will continue his studies elsewhere next fall. Knowing his determined and energetic spirit, we sincerely believe that we will be calling him Dr. Spann in the near future. All of our best wishes go with you, Charlie. [238] CHARLIE Ret, Co.

Emanuel Ignace Sterghos Infantry — Pre-Medical Greenwood, South Carolina Pot is best remembered by us for the splendid record he made in tennis. Starting this sport as a member of the freshman squad, he climaxed his success his senior year by leading the team as its captain. With the possible exception of the truly Citadel pastime of bridge, there was nothing he loved so well as his tennis. Rank was the least of his worries, but we can not think of a more loyal Citadel cadet. He was outstanding in all intramural activities for his company, and never failed to co-operate in any way with his fellow classmates. We hope that graduation will not mean losing contact with Pot, because he has grown to mean everything that a true friend could be. STIMP Ret., Co. F (4); Cpl., Co. H (3); Pvt., Co. H (2); Pvt., Co.

But don ' t infer from this that Stimp has spent most of his col- legiate years studying. Being a firm believer in the theory that a pleasing personality means more than book-learning. he has never let lessons interfere with the bull-sessions in barracks. Stimsons love for bull-sessions is only surpassed by his love for the fems. Although frequently swearing vivaciously at the opposite sex. almost every week-end found him breaking some girl ' s heart. A firm believer that sleep knits up the raveled sleeve of care, S. C. has met Morpheus in every phase in Barracks. [2391 I. ■ SUHRSTEDT Thomson Carl Louis Suhrstedt Coast Artillery — Physics Charleston, South Carolina Carl is one of those Charlestonians who has stepped from his low country grandeur and mixed with the crowd. From his freshman days Carl has ranked with the best, finally securing the command of K Company. Let us not forget that he also wears the coveted gold stars, which are sought by many, but won by few. A City of Charleston scholarship man, Carl has proved to the satisfaction of all that the city fathers made no mistake in their selection. Car l has been one of the few to endure the trials of Fuzzy ' s course for four years, for most of us were fed up with one year of it. From what we have observed in the past four years, we predict a bright future for this young Geech. James Henry Thomson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charleston, South Carolina Rock is known by all as a genuine pal, one who has contributed much to bull sessions of the past. As a five-year man. Jimmy has had time to acquire much grey matter on the subject of Engineering that cannot be fully grasped in four years. One who speaks little but who says much when he does speak, Jimmy has endeared himself to his classmates. Other than clapping two cymbals together, he has not had much time for anything else, except being out with his one and only, which was often. Man y are the afternoons that we have seen her waiting for him. Certainly Jimmy is one who carries the good- will of all his classmates and friends with him out into the cruel world.

Thomas Jackson Thorne, Jr. Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charleston, South Carolina Bucks, this is Tommy Thorne. another one of those boys from Charleston. A trifle ambitious it might be said of him. but certainly he has accomplished much in his four years at The Citadel. His ambition has gained much for him in his studies and gained good rank for him during his senior year. As campus editor of The Bull Dog he found an outlet for his military talents, and the golf links have provided for his athletic aspirations. One of Colonel John ' s boys. Tommy, with his ambition and ability, will go far in the engineering field. He will always be remembered by his classmates for his ability to get things done. He mig ' it go down sometimes, but he won ' t be out. and above all, he will still be in there fighting. Francis Eugene Tiller Infantry — Business Administration Aiken, South Carolina If it takes an interest in classroom discussion to get an education, Tiller should be one of the best informed men in our class. Many have been the times that his timely questions have saved his section from an impending quiz. but he still believes it would have been easier for him to make the tennis team than a B under Nub. Tiller will always be remembered for his playful nature, especially his shadow boxing exhibitions. His social life at The Citadel has been confined chiefly to the hops, where he stands out as being one of the smoothest dancers on the floor. And why is it that a romantic mood always overcomes him whenever he hears the song. Margie .

Although not a star among Nub ' s Jewish Engineers, S. J. has been conscientious and serious in his work. Hot Foot never toured the quad, but he did several things that never reached the publicity department. Though not a Casanova with the Charleston girls, he has his dream. Not being stamped by the IVlilitary Department as one of their favorites, Hot Foot has a unique and distinctive touch that only he can give that rifle, and takes pride in holding down number one, rear.

Though many have taken advantage of John ' s willingness to help others he remains everybody ' s friend. Vann continues in his bold attempt to master that complex musical instrument — the harmonica. Even as John reads this last remark he will demonstrate his most predominat- ing characteristic, namely, that of arguing. His desire to convince his friends of the truth in the unbelievable talcs he tells is terrific. This characteristic will without doubt push the smiling Monroeite to the front. May his life be as the sword he has lugged: long, bright, and straight. [242] JOHN Ret., Co. E (4); Cpl., Co. G (3); Plat. Sgt., Co. G (2); 1st Lieut., Co.

Prank had the determination and will to succeed in his chosen field of Chemistry under the tutelage of The Colonel : but we sometimes wonder about his getting transferred on the N. Y. A. under Lt.

As to conquest — a dozen photographs of females line his press, chevrons of captain ' s weight adorn his sleeve; and the editorship of The Shako provides the necessary drug for an excellent case of insomnia. Formerly a lit- erary white elephant. The Shako was converted by Happy Ham into a readable publication. Ham ' s tastes are quite satiable, being neither compelling nor diverse.

Some of us know him as Mack, others know him as the Judge, but we all know him as one of the finest fellows that has ever worn the grey of our uniform. He never attempted to attain high military rank, for he was more interested in the business aspects of life. Mack likes a good time, but he has never let this interfere with his work in school. He studies hard and takes his work seriously. Mack is one of those fellows who believe that work and play do not mix.

Though Tucker is probably one of the busiest men in the senior class, he still found time, but it was hard for him to escape his literary work (selling magazines and papers), two or three times a year to run up to Converse to see his adoring (! ' ) public. Even though he is one of Zeke ' s boys. Tucker strings along with the other fellows on the week-ends. Tucker held rank until late in his senior year, losing it in a universally deplored unfortunate incident — may he accept all losses as easily. Whether he becomes a doctor or not, he will be a success in whatever situation he is placed, for Tucker is a gentleman and a true friend, and he will never be forgotten by those who know him.

Harry Marion Williams Infantry — Business Administration Chester, South Carolina We have found Harry to be truly a man of character, conscientious and efficient in all his undertakings, and possessed with an ability to rank high in his class and pull down those mighty As and B ' s with a minimum of academic effort. This fellow ' s amiable personality, pleasing manners, and effervescent wit have won for him many friends, not only at The Citadel, but also at such feminine institutions as Winthrop. Converse. G. W. C Agnes Scott, etc. Does he tell them all the same thing? We wonder, for he certainly knows how to pick ' em and get their pictures too! Harry, may you always enjoy life as much as you do shining to that old Benny Goodman and Glen Gray swing, and may we say — Happy shining in the life to come! James Gordon Williams Infantry — Business Administration Newnan, Georgia We have heard any number of times that college life changes one ' s whole pattern of life. If this be the case, let us present one very good exception to the rule. Gordon is one of those rare individuals who have managed to sail through four years of cadet life in the same serene manner of living common to his native Georgia hills. Although this senior has not been as ambitious as some for military rank, he has taken the worst the business department had to offer without a whole lot of visible effort. Possessing the two chief qualities necessary in life, a good sense of humor and an ingratiating sincerity. Gordon has made many friends at The Citadel; so let us wish him unbound success in his new adventure. [245] ■ H. Wilson J. Wilson Harvey Edgar Wilson Coast Artillery — Civil Engineering Charlotte, North Carolina This tall, lanky fellow from the Queen City might have gone through four years with us as a complete nonentity, had it not been for certain characteristics and abilities that naturally brought him to the forefront. Chief among these was his appearance on the basket- ball court. For four years Pap, ' as the Corps knew him. has been tossing them through the hoop, and as a mainstay on the varsity five, he well deserves the block C ' he proudly wears. In military activities Pap has ranked well. A veteran of both staff and company organizations he has proved his ability to handle any task assigned to him. Behind th at mask of reserve and quietness we who know him are fully aware of that ready smile and willingness to help that are characteristics of H. E. As a future engineer we wish him success. John McLean Wilson Coast Artillery — Pre-Medical Darlington, South Carolina J. M.. The Darlington Flash, is known throughout the school for his pleasant smile and his willingness to help people. John has done excellent work in the journalistic field as is shown by his fine sport column which appeared in The Bull Dog. He has also shone in the field of sports. The Major has demonstrated his ability as a convincing prevaricator by keeping all the girls in a whirl. Converse, Winthrop. Salem, and other girls ' schools within thousands of miles know this Casanova. If the Major is as successful in medicine as he has been in other things, he will certainly prove to be a man who will be quickly recognized by the A. M. A. Luck to you, J. M., and may the world be at your feet. PAP Ret., Co. F (4); Cpl., Co. H (3); Color Sgt., Regt. Staff (2); 2iid Lieut., 1st Lieut., Co.

In 1910 the name was oificially changed to The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. 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 progres- sively to command increasingly larger groups of his fellow cadets. Leader- ship and character development are stressed. 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 OBSERVER PRINTING HOUSE INCORPORATED College Annual Department CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA f A WORD OF THANKS Here is the end, not only of the book but also of the school year, and for many of us, our school career. We have watched this edition grow from seed to flower, and now we are ready to pluck the bloom. But before doing so we must give a word of thanks to the few individuals through whose efforts this SPHINX was made possible, the men who have burned the mid-night oil with us many nights. We have attempted to make this the best book in the history of the college, and we leave you, the reader, to be the judge. First of all we wish to express our sincere appreciation to the few staff members who have remained loyal and have performed their duties well throughout the school year: To Major Wiles for his advice and assistance; To Major McAlister for his willingness and expertness in handling the budget; To Gordon Brightman and Al Gage of Jahn Oilier Engrav- ing Company for their excellent ideas and criticisms; To Bill Crichton and Harry Curlee of Observer Printing House for their untiring efforts and excellent printing; To the Misses Dawson of Marion Studio and Howard Jacobs of Jacobs ' Studio for their splendid photography and many favors; To the Advertisers whose loyalty helped make possible this publication; To Cadets Slade and Worthy for their fine cadet directory which was used so frequently by the Staff; And last but by no means least, to the Faculty and the Corps of Cadets for their excellent cooperation and patience with the Staff. We leave you this, the 1939 SPHINX. Jack Millar, Editor. Frank Prevost, Business Manager. - ' -•♦ s r ' l:. - TMH [ ii),y ' L a ;,; co u i G p Q ' y ' ' n-[ c uu, : :.f.:
