We have been prone to consider that she lacks in tradition. Hence it seems altogether fitting that the events in the history of the school should be recounted in this book. Mr. Henry Harrison Culver is the man to whom must be accredited the inspiration for the wonderful Academy that bears his name. Mr. ,Culver was born at London, Madison County, Qhio, August 9, l84O. He was philanthropic and it was his penchant to help young men to rise under difficulties. ln H383 he decided to build a home on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee. This decision marks- the actual begin- ning of Culver Military Academy. A F or many years it had been Mr. Culver's desire to found a school. In 1894 his ambition was realized and this school 'was begun in a tiny building formerly used for chautauqua purposes. During the first year the students were housed in a hotel built by Mr. Culver and in several nearby cottages. The thirty-two cadets who began the next year, however, were destined to have new quarters. On February 24 the hotel was burned. Within a very few days plans were drawn up for a new and modern building, construction ,:,,,':S 7. ig, I-,. .,-g-dk. An Early Football Team G actually begun, and on the momentous day of May lo, 1895, the corner stone for the new edifice was laid. ln September, 1896, the Qvlissouri Military Academy was destroyed by Fire. Mr. Culver heard of this and the idea. of uniting the two schools prompted him to send an offer to Colonel A. F. Fleet, Superintendent of the former institution. This offer was accepted and on Qctober 5 of the same year the seventy-two cadets of the Missouri Academy, together with their instructors, came to Culver. Colonel Fleet deserves a ,great part of the credit for this school. 1-le instilled in the cadets who were here under his rule a certain spirit and instinct for right which has become a feature in the life of Culver. ln january, 1897, L. R. Cignilliat, a Lieutenant Colonel in the national guard, joined the faculty. He was a young and exceptionally abQe man. During this time in the Academy's exis- tence it was growing steadily-so steadily that new barracks were 1 The Old Dining Room in What Later Became the Trunk Room The Olds Library and Reading Room required. First came East barrack, then West and lastly South. Shortly after Major Cignilliat had begun his work as commandant of cadets the school gained special recognition from the War Depart- ment. I n the course of tenyears, from a corps of thirty cadets, quar- tered in a small frame building and an institution hardly known within its own state, the Academy had developed until it had an enrollment of over four hundred cadets, double the number attending any other military institution in America. During the same short period it had acquired also a splendid riding hall, a large gymnasium and a thoroughly equipped hospital. Even at this date Culver had a more completeQy equipped plant than any school of its class in the United States. In l9lO Colonel Fleet retired and was succeeded by Major-who then became Colonel-Cignilliatg Captain Creiner stepped up to fill the position left vacant by Colonel Cignilliat and Captain Clascock was made l-lead Master. The administration of these three men has been one of unbounded success, and under them the school has increased in numbers and in name. ln 1913 the in- fantry battalion and the Black l-lorse Troop escorted Vice-President Marshall in the inaugural parade. Such was the impression made upon Washington and in all other cities in which the Culver men appeared that frequently opinion varied as to whether West Point or this school should be accorded first rank. It was in this .same year that the school answered Logansport's cry for help and ninety of the cadets rescued one thousand four hundred people from the flood which devastated that city. Inasmuch as this is one of the most important events in the annals of Culver, it may be well to give a brief account of it. Word came to the Academy toward night that most of the city of Logansport was under Water. The converged rivers were running in a torrent in which ordinary craft could not live. The moment word was received here the mar- velous efficiency of the school was demonstrated. T The large naval cutters were immediately loaded on flat cars and- the older men who had received naval training in the summer school were sent with these boats to the distressed city. Then began twenty-four hours of heroic service, an service Which, when it became known, made this school the cynosure of the entire nation. From house to house the cadets Went, saving men, women and children, and for the greater part of the time Worked in the dark and against a terrific current which almost defeated their efforts. 'ln recognition of this service the people of Logansport erected the now famous gate so familiar to us all at the entrance of the Academy grounds, and on the day of its presentation thousandsof Logansport citizens came to 'Culver to express their gratitude. 4 ln N09 the plans for Greater Culver were launched by the trustees. Since that time thousandspp-on thousands of dollars have been spent in the beautifying of the grounds and the addition of new buildings. And yet these plans have beengreatly enlarged on and even now X . many new projects are underway. Since 1916 several new structures have been built. The arsenal, the first of these, is for the accommo- dation of all the government property, our own artillery equipment, naval cutters, etc. The new riding hall, the second, is modeled after the old fortification at Antwerp. The dimensions of the riding hall are one hundred and sixty-five feet by three hundred and seventy-a larger building than any similar one in this country except the cavalry building at the United States Military Academy and the latter is far less completely furnished. There is no possibility of a catastrophe such as occurred two years ago lastifall in the burning of the first troop. This has been the only serious setback to the plans men- tioned for Greater and Greatest Culver. ln the fall of 1915 the sta- ble in which the Black Horse Troop and its equipment were kept was burned to the ground and everyone of the beau- tiful animals perished Undaunted by the dou- ble shock and inconven- ience of such. a disaster, : -' .lf 'nm' the authorities immediately commissioned the cavalry instructor to' buy new mounts equal or superior to those lost, irrespective of expense. The present cavalry organization gives fitting proof of the manner in which that mission was fulfilled. The most recent building to be completed is the new swimming pool which has pro- vided much enjoyment to the corps and faculty. lt is the largest known, being one hundred -and twenty by sixty feet with a capacity of three hundred and seven thousand gallons, and filled with lake water which passes through a series of filters and an ultra-violet ray process. T ' v T An unfortunate event that occurred this winter was the burning of the trunk room. A blizzard had been raging for a day or two before the fire, and as it was about 30 degrees below zero, it was impossible for the fire department to reach the building, which was burned to the ground. The Htrunlc rooms' was here even before the Academy itself, and has had an interesting history of its own. lt was originally built as aftabernacle on the site of the present mess hall,iand in it Chautauqua meetings were held by the famous evangelist, T. DeWitt Q Laying the Corner Stone of the Mess Hall GE Talmage. Vxfhen the school was started the building was used for the Academy gymnasium, and in it were held all the social func- tions of the school, such as dances, entertainments etc. At the time the pres- ent gym was erected, the dining room in Main bar- rack was transformed into - a reading room, and the old gym was converted into a mess hall, remaining as suchiuntil the present mess hall was completed, when it was moved back of the hospital, where it remained the rest of its -days. Until the time of its destruction, the building was used as a trunk room, carpenter and manual training shop. This ire was another great loss both to cadets and school, as hundreds of trunks and suit cases, and hundreds of canvas tent walls used in Summer School were destroyed. This, briefly, is the material history of Culver, aschool which has grown to such great prominence in so short a time, and among mili- tary schools it has taken its place at the very top, rivalling V. lvl. l-., and excelled only by the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. But now we are in a period' when more than mere history, more even than fame-tradition of the most glorious kind-it being made by the Culver men who i , have answered the call to arms, who have rallied to the defense of nation, honor, liberty and d mocracy, and to the glory of their Alma Mater. Al- ready we see more than a thousand stars in our ser- vice Hag, and one of them -so soon-has turned to gold. And daily we hear PAGE 6 I i l I The Burning Qf the Old Troop PAGE 17 tales of heroic valor of the Culver men in France. l X Not only this, lout We hear of those in this country-how they are making good everywhere, at T the Naval Training Stations and at the Camps throughout the country. 5- This is the real history of Cul- ver, summed up in the deeds of her men at the Nations greatest ta crisis.

R. GIGNILLIAT, LT. COL, N. A Superintendentf Now on Active Duty at Camp Taylor A PAGE 22 g Present and Absent QRDINARILY SUCH an event as the departure ofthe head of any insti- tution will cause it irreparable harm. When Colonel Cvignilliat left the Academy last May, the school was fortunate in having as his successor Major Glascock, whom a term of service here as long as the very existence of Culver, for most of that. time in the capacity of Headmaster, made peculiarly fitted for the duties- of the superin- tendent. The year now closing owes its success in great measure to the ability and the efforts of the former Headmaster. Compelled to replace, previous instructors with new men, facing' problems of re- organization and obliged to cope with 'many war measures-all of which were heretofore unheard of, Major Glascoclc deserved unstinted praise for his pains in keeping up to the standard of other years. At the same time it would be grossly unfair to deny to Colonel Gignil- liat the credit that is his for his great work while here' and his powerful influence' even while actually absent. That Culver and the things for which Culver stands are the result, and in many cases the conceptions, of an indi-vidual, no one familiar with this school and its record will deny, and that individual is Colonel Leigh Robinson Gignilliat. - J PAGE f www.

The aviator was mortally -Wounded and died shortly after he was taken to the hospital. The last Words on his lips were ul: or France- for France----5' u r Very' naturally in past years the mind of the young military school graduate just rolling up his sleeves to tackle some of life'-s larger problems, has been Hlled with thoughts not so much of country as of personal achievement and success, and the best means to this end. lt is needless to say that his ownthought now should be l-low can l put in the best licks for this great country of mine which in the past has done so much for me and mine and has asked. so little in return? XV hat can I best do at this time, not formyself as an individual, but for America? T - P ' X l have had considerable opportunity of observing Culver men in the service. l have felt great pride and satisfaction in the waythey are making good and in the large number that have Won commissions. Cf course, the real test comes only in action. 'But that they will measure up to the highest standards in meeting that test l have not the slightest doubt, for they are starting out with the fundamentals of military'success--discipline. . The precision, the click of the drill, the strictly regulated life, 'the cheerful and unquestioning obedience they hafve observed during the impressionable years of their cadetship, all these things are a great asset and give them an advantage in the beginning over the man not so trained. lt is an advantage, however, only to the man who does not presume on it. It is after all only the foundation, and on it an elaborate super- structure of specialized training must be reared that requires every ounce of devotion and energy that can be given to it. It is to be regretted that the splendid material of eighteen and nine- teen years of age in this year's class is not yet eligible for admission G to the officers' training camps, not by any means that they are too good for the ranks, but because the country needs such well grounded material from which to fashion its company officers. Those who enlist, however, may End opportunities for commissions while yet under twenty-one in the lvlarine Corps or in the Air Service, and no doubt later on in our own army as in those of our Allies com- missions will be given men under twenty-one who have distinguished ,themselves in action. - Men too young for commissions will make excellent N. C. Gfs, and it should be remembered that these are the backbone of the company. l-lowever, while military service is naturally uppermost in our minds, we must not lose sight of the fact that there are men in the class who have qualincations which will be of greater value to the country if further developed in the University or Technical School. Whatever be his decision as to the next step after graduation, I am sure the first thought of each graduate of the Class of '18 will be for America--for America. Affectionately, t L. R.

Therefore we deserve some history. And we certainly have soME history. We come, as the chapel orators say, from the hide-bound shores of Maine, from the foggy slopes of California, from the 1-lun struck coast of Canada and the sunstruck coats of Florida. ln short, we are from all over. And we are about all over, as a class. When Ma jor Cwlascoclc extends in his learned mitt a coveted calf skin, or what ever it is,we have done with C. M. A. ln general our life history runs about thus: ln September of 1914 there was a strange disturbance in the heavens. Bunkus was too close to Bullus, Mars was jumping 'around and Venus was on her ear and the' Coat was butting in. The stars knew we were coming. And we came--with a rush, again the First Class-for we were certainly the first class to come with a rush on the Vandalia. Seriously, we feel that we have combatted. morexwhile here than any other graduating class and we feel too that we go out to do more. lf our Culver years are well spent we hope to prove such men as the world needs. Not all of us will be here for the closing scenes of our school career. War has no sentiment, and the brilliance and verve of commencement week will be- missed by some whose R. O. T. C. obligations have compelled them to leave earlier than the others, but they are recompensed in the thought that they have gone for country and for Culver. 1 There is little to record of our achievements thatdistinguishes us from any other class. We came as raw, dissatisfied plebes, fright- ened, grumbling, longing to be away. Came another F all and we came back 'with our share of the pleasures and responsibilities of Hold men. Few people become as im- portant as we felt ourselves, strutting-about the campus that autumn in the glory of our new service stripes. Some of us were actu- ally non-commissioned officers, not the highest of that grade to be sure, but never- Tammy , President' theless ofhcers.

Thus Went another year and a third September found us some sadder, some gayer, some of our more mature members first classmen,, some first sergeants, all glad to be second classmen, but none realizing what lay before us. We helped make history on the Washington trip. Last Spring we saw our Superintendent and then the caddies, and finally our fellow cadets go into the nations service and then for the first time there came not in egotism nor in braggadocio but with the thrill of a revelation, the knowledge that We were privileged as no class has ever been privileged, as perhaps no class will ever again be privileged, to bear Culvers name and fame into the world. We came back last Fall as boys. We are leaving now as men-better, We are leaving as Culver men, real Culver men.

He is like his more or less well known prototype, Alex the Great of yore, al- though he has not done quite as much., At that, he has done so much with and for us that he refused flatly to compile a list of his own accom- plishments and since no one else could do it for him, his record is lost to posterity. Those of .us who know him, however, do not need facts and figures. I-Ie has served well for two years-in D last year, the past one in and has gone out, with ideal spirit, for every branch of school work, athletic and otherwise, that he has stood the slightest chance for, or that he thought he had an opportunity to learn. l-le has utilized this same spirit-in the way conspicuous here by its 13 . a sence, 1. e., supporting others in their work on is is merely one of the many rea- sons for which we regret losing him. the teams.

Ralph refuses to disclose where he will go to college, but wherever he goes, he will probably continue his classic course with a view to studying law. If he does, he will probably enter the U. of Wisconsin, and we all hope he'll distinguish New Richmond there as he has done here. l-le has attracted attention here as the most loyal supporter the Varsity teams have numbered among their rooters in years and years.

He has the enviable faculty of doing pretty nearly everything well, and he comes closer to the much-plagiarized all-around type than most. I-le has displayed in his three years of service the best traits of the real Culver man. Possibly his greatest feat has been his suc- cess in proving to the world in general and to us in particular that joliet, Illinois, is more than a haven for homicides, hair tonics and health foods. l-le likes girls, jazz music, Robert Service, chem- istry, the movies and military work. He dislikes crabbers , trench-digging, E. D., loud non- coms, highbrows and knockers. I-Ie hasn't de- cided where his next scene in the seven stages will occur, but wherever, whenever and whatever it may be he knows that Culver and those of Cul- ver are all for him for all time.

Ordinarily, a man is a good this'5, or a good 'ithat . i'Bick is better than good-he is nearly a star, and he has taken part in everything. Thus we find that he has been a football player kept from varsity only by lack of weight, one of the best basketball players in school, a crack in swimming and divingg one of the foremost trackhmen of the Academy, a base- ball and indoor player, a wrestler, a boxer and a gymnast-not at all a bad list for one individual with one years service, Militarily he has made ag thoroughly capable and efficient non- com. Socially, he is a dancer, a copious corre- spondent, and all that makes up our criterion of the beau idealn. And personally-which is most important-he has made more friends than the average, in every class and in both divisions, old and new. PAGE f?ff'f'f- . - .,,.

Who can put into numbers and dates the feeling of the school for him, or his regard for it, what record, for instance, can tell adequately of his years on the 'Varsity football team going through grueling work day in and day out for the good of the team and the reputation of Culver?

In athletics, although not a star in any one thing, he has been a steady man on all company athletic teams. Tactics being Georges long suit, it was in no Way surprising that he stepped from a 'company private to one of our highest ranking Lieutenants. However modest he is as a member of the 1-lop Club, or other social affairs, he is largely responsible for the success of our dances for the year. In his management of the baseball team George literally shone, and it is doubtful that the team could have played at all without him. ln losing Brodnax, we lose a man that will not be forgotten after he passes through the gate, but who will be re- membered as everybody's friend and one of the leading men in school.

He is after the well known life on the rolling deep , being deter- mined to enter Annapolis as soon as they let him.

HHAPPY HUBERTH came crashing noisily into the Academy from the Michigan woods in the Fall of 1914. He decided within two days that the life military was all right--for somebody else, but not for him, and he exited as carelessly as he had entered. Forcible persuasion, however, kept him here, and now he is glad of it. Needless to say, so too are we, and were thoroughly sorry to see his course here drawing to a close. For three years he has labored for a Varsity emblem, and this past Fall he went into Big time on the gridiron, and he earned the coveted Culver that he displays all the time.

LITTLE FALLS was 'also little known until Dick Burton breezed into the Commandants office, pushed aside the pompous waiting 0. D. and registered on the latter's carefully prepared page. Nobody would recognize in the resourceful presi- dent of the hikers the self-same individual who committed that classic of bones . He has worked incessantly for two years to put his com- pany on top athletically. The same willingness and pep have made him valuable to the Ve- detten, the hikers, the Y. IVI. C. A., the battalion at large and anybody who had need of his as- sistance. As side issues, he sports a silver star and lozenge and a membership in the somewhat exclusive Spanish table. He is going to put into a business career what his commercial training at Culver has taught him. If he brings to his work into after life his Culver qualities, his for- tune is made.

If we had cooks and majors, doubtless he would have attempted to be a cadet cook and cadet major, but he has had to finish up by con- fining himself to a captaincy. D has been the gainer thereby. lt is hard to select the most prominent feature of his Work. He made the Troop his second year out, played tvvjo years at football and baseball with the companies, and leaves with theurank of captain in the battalion and corporal in the Troop. For an obligato, he is secretary of the Hop Club and has been game to stand a iot of kidding on that score. His course here, both in theory and in practice, has been scientific, and as soon as he can, he is going to apply it in the navy. All told, Harry has had an unqualifiedly Well-rounded term of service in C. M. A., and he goes out with the undivided congratulations and regrets of the battalion and of the faculty.

I n spite of the initial velocity of his name, Lars has made a success out of everything he has handled. A mild young rhiney, he returned for a second year of military life as a private in Toward Easter of 1917 a shortage of sergeants gave Lars his chance. They put the double bar of the line non-com on him and he made good with a rush. So capable did he prove as a sergeant that he was given the hospital lieutenancy in june, and as a little indication of his value they raised the rank of the hitherto despised sick commish to one of the highest lieutenancies in the corps. A spell of illness that kept him out of this year for a while didn't bother him a bit and he is graduating as one of our very best bets.

As CAPTAIN of Varsity track, Clare has made himself a great reputation, but he is known equally well as First Lieut. of a medal win- ner in wall scaling last year, and astar of inter- company football. Few men have .made good so thoroughly in as many different phases of the Academys work. 1-le hails from Lexington, Ky., and his loyalty to that state is inducing him to attend its university to complete the scientific course he has begun here. 1-le is rounding out his fourth year as a cadet, and it is Ifot easy for him to go. We have all learned his worth and value, ohcicially and as a friend, and it is going to be hard for the school to replace him. Especially will we miss the sight of his medal- bedecked full dress blouse. The two he won at the lvliami walkaway, or, better, runaway, alone would well-nigh cover his chest, but in between these he has managed to sandwich in several other medals, Red Cross buttons, Bible Class ribbons, and such, which all greatly add to his appearance. b PAG it it f Qf 'P ,M 1-J' k , i!, ,gs-V i' , . --ff U LLL, -.At-3 Quai: V f f2uLL.,.L.w. .4 A M, I' Q .-- 1 A p' E X gb? f 7' -' 'l I ,rf-W I f' Af- .i,,-I'-Eta , - H .1-2 gl--A fail-pf f 5' .,-f .--. ,',J'4l,,.- , fi ll 1-5 Cl an It-n' I 1 'HX-4-.- -Q? --, N Q ,,.ir,:-of X z?5,.,zWW . -:if -fe ' .

This last year he distinguished himself by annexing another pair of like letters and now he is labeled by virtue of his membership in the Troop, CCCCC -meaning to wit, Cavalry Crazy C. C. Cravern C? This is the only eccen- tricity he has revealed, though. His record shows him for one year a private in UD , then a corporal in a fervent Trooper and infantry man in the R. O. T. C., and a member of the Cflee Club. As a side issue he holds daily clandestine conver- sation with Lieutenant Smith at the Spanish mess. Quite as a matter of course, he flashes a silver star. This last term he made good with Captain Crawley and appeared in the Dramatic Club's productions. Unless the War or something else should intervene he will go to the University of lylissouri next year.

That is a mighty ambitious program for any one man to follow but Paul has followed it mighty well-so well, in fact, that in the battalion, to say nothing of the band, which latter is his first love, he is liked and admired by all. His one weakness is a profotfnd failing for femininity-not an uncommon ailment here- abouts, at that. I-le declares that the business training that he has had here will bring him into business life after graduation, but if he doesn't finish up as a bandmaster--a second john Philip Sousa-we are all away ohf as oracles. Paul has endeared himself to us, every one, as a gentle- man, a musician, and a friend, and we all regret losing him. Wherever he may go, whatever he may do, those who have known him here as one of the best will be pulling for him to get what the best deserves--i. e., the best.

EDWARD NEWELL of Detroit and New York dropped in on us casually as a Christmas plebe .in january of 1916. 1-Ie has been making himself deservedly and decidedly prominent ever since. 1-le has weathered all the ups and downs-a trifling bust and so forth, but never worse than the misfortune which overtook him just before his basketball trip. As he himself ruefully put it, here 1-have worked for two straight years, trying to get a trip somehow somewhere, and now a couple of days before we go,' l 'get the measles. 'S a fine life! But Eddie bore this cheerfully as he has born other disappointments, taking them as they came. He played Varsity basketball, com- pany football and was especially efficient in man- aging company athletics in general. Perhaps his most distinguished position here is that of art sub-editor, cartoonist and pictorial critic on the staff of this annual. ln this capacity he has been merely indispensable to the editors in producing the book. When time has permitted, he has done some clever cartoons for special issues of the Vedette and in particular the midnight Vedet- lette ', in preparation for which he was one who spent several whole nights in working.

As THE year progresses, and the leaves of this book are again turned by the members of the Class of '18, we will realize again as We realize now that the conhclence We placed in Denby when we elected him lvlanager of this years 'iRoll Call was Well founded: he has proven his ability as an editor, he has shown himself to be a genius of efficiency and management, and has illustrated his tenacity by dogged work. To him is due the balance of credit for his effort and achievement in making this the most accurate and most complete class work ever published. If it werent for some inconsistencies in his nature we would say that some day he will be greatg but how can any man ever become great when he persists in quoting Kipling, says that Plato is his favorite author on Civil Government, contends that he is one of the few who appreciate cubist art, and insists on arguing philosophically on the Riddle of the Universe? Charles has been a good friend to us all, and is a man who is willing literally to work his head off whenever he can do anything for any of us.

By golly, the trouble in writing about Denton is to pick out what to write about. 1-le has done such an awful lot and it is all so important that it takes an oracle to know how to separate the facts that he wants published f romthose that he wants kept quiet. CEditorial note: there are few of the latter.D He has been a trooper ever since the first troop tryout four years ago. l-le was senior color sergeant most of last year, survived a modest bust and has made good with his commission this year since the day'he was appointed to a lieutenancy in Right after his return from the holidays he was jumped from a second lieu- tenant to one of the highest firsts . 1-le was one of the real stars on last fall's football team and had no trouble winning his Culver. Finally, he managed one of the finest basketball teams that ever represented us. Socially, personally and every way we are proud to claim Frank as a friend.

He won his football Culver last Autumn after a hard year's work as a plebe on the scrubs. He is also famous locally for his addiction to the wandering practice. Every chance he gets he beats it off into the sylvan depths and there are mon? blamed pictures of Dorn in various Woodland places than of anyone else anywhere else. He has guzzled all that Captain Vv'ilson, Captain Eisenhard and the other litterati of science can give him, and he's all set to spring it on a perfectly unsuspecting World.

C., where diplo- macy is supposedly the watchword, but appar- ently he never .absorbed much of it. During a learned dissertation by our acting sup., Donald horrified his mates by bursting into strident laughter that echoed with ghastly force through the chapel throng. He was immediately ejected, while the astonished battalion watched him out. Such a stunt was never associated with him. This, however, was merely a temporary lapse. He has no bad traits except an uncanny dislike for girls, and an abhorrence for the customary usages of society, especially at dances. Now and again he has burst forth into rough-houses, no- tablyfin East and Main, but he has always had a weird ability for evading the consequences. No one has ever taken wilder chances in cavalry and got away alive therewith. But, on the soberer side, he has done good work in all he has at- tempted here, and his general popularity shows that he has the stuff in abundance. llll llll Wllllllldlllllwlllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllsiiim u1M,, ..

Ellis, the biblically inclined rhiney, there is no call for anything apologetic. I-le has accomplished what it is given few new men to attain-the respect and admiration of the eter- nally dubious old man . .lt may be that like the late R. H. Davis, he draws his literary talent from Swarthmore, whence he comes, but irre- spective of where he gets it, he certainly has it. Cenerally, he has distinguished himself in pretty nearly every line of cadet activity. Specifically, he is noted for playing company football, con- tributing a very pointed editorial-essay to the quarterly issue of the Vedette , receiving gold sleeve decorations, and, lastly, being the first Culver graduate to enter Haverford College.

Coleridge's poem about Frost at mid- night might well have been taken from an epi- sode of jacks life here when a slip on the stairs as he was going out for night guard brought down an enraged barrack on his head. When it comes to the list of his achievements it is actually hard to know not what to mention but, instead,what to leave out. When a man has distinguished himself to an unusual degree in every single thing he goes after he gets credit for it. But it is not possible to give Frost credit for everything he has done in a book the size of the Roll Call. lt would require a regular lexicographer to list everything he has done. The most noteworthy feat of his cadet career was securing his basket-ball Culver. Came, fast, and heady he was one of the chief factors in this years victorious season for the basket-ball team. Taken altogether jack has no superiors and few equals. PAGE 66 Wllwllwlll lllllllmlw ' lllllllllllllllllilllllllllll llll ll1ll llll lllIllllllllllll1llllWlI lll l Oliver F.

Ever since the battalion organization was introduced here Cates has been one of the hrst Culver men to declare himself in favor of it and if he can do as an army man everything he has done here and do those things equally well his success is a sure thing. Pep and constancy and cheerfulnesshave made him a favorite here with everyone. C Company owes him a big debt for his untiring etfofts to put them on top athletically and in every other respect. His term of-service at C. IW. A. has been a long and faithful and Well rewarded one. If ever we get to the peace that he says he hopes will never come Oliver will become a scientific farmer. I-le has gone through with flying colors in all respects. As a plebe he came near discover- ing a self-planting potato and although they regarded him as a nut for a long While Cates stuck to it, pointing out that Christopher Colum- bus, too, was ridiculed and made a butt for jokes. The potato never materialized in growing but Cates did. PAGE 67 Ya' , i , x . .

Varsity basketballfvarsity football, and the social world are his greatest interests here. Elsewhere he is interested in the epistoleer of so many tender missives that this annuals iron clad rule to mention nobody's correspondence has had to be shelved for S. K. This is due in part to his statuesque manner, his grecian profile, and his dancing ability. Whisper -a real secret. When the rush of patrons became too heavy this Winter he acted as Mr. Ciaynors assistant for a while with great dis- tinction and success. A native Californian, he's a stickler for his own state. The navy will get a good man in every way when Cvibbie goes into sea service. . fx PACE GB lfllllllwlllwlllllll lllllllllllllll llWW mtllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllli lll 'Illl llliiWllllIlllllllIllllll Il llllI'l lillllIlllil ' l llllll LL Stuart B.

For a long while he showed wonderfulsagacity in dodging the usual plebe's pitfalls until he refused to salute a caddy because the officer was in cits . It took the sentinel on the post, then the corporal of the guard, a little later the O. D., and hnally the 0. C. himself to quell Stuarts insurrection. He may have got his revolutionary ideas from his study of socialism, for he is a bear in political science. Both years he has spent in playing basketball for them each year. He has learned all that the scientific course here can impart-amd he is bound for the University of Michigan to continue his studies there. His service here has been mighty good-for the school, for himself, and for those of us who are glad to be his friends.

But he differs from the hero of romance in that he secured everything he went after. Ex officio, he is known for his efficiency. Privately, we have all found him a good friend in every way and a man well worth knowing.

The medals, pins, badges, decorations, i'rEignia and what-not that adorn his full dress garments are really astonishing. lt is the ambi- tion of his life to get at shooting out on the new rifle range where he'll have all the latest appliances and devices of his art- to assist him. If ever he does get that chance, let us predict, vernacularly, Good Night . Sweet dreams to the slow and rapid fire records, both here and elsewhere. Edwin Carlo will set a standard for some years to come-until, that is, his equal comes again. No one has done more nor become better known within this present graduating 'generation' than he. l-le has done his share in the building up of a good company, has made good in every way as a cadet, and best of all his success has left him quite unaffected. May he find outside all the good fortune he so well deserves-such is the unanimous wish of his class.

Someone shoved a blank form toward him and before he realized it, he had signed up as a cadet. lt was nearly time for the Washington trip, and he had to burn the midnight oil drilling, but learned enough to 'conduct himself creditably on that critical trip. I-le also attracted lots of attention by his penchant for what he himself calls upunching the piano , and he used to entertain a crowd in the Y nightly until C. He continued this - until a variety of other interest made him give it up. All his Culver time has been spent in and his record there, in the batt generally, and in other Work has been of the first class- like himself. His one faux was an attempt to incarnadine his hair. But the fatal juice be- trayed him, and his fellow cadets nearly col- lapsed when he removed his cap, in mess and displayed a shock of scarlet hair. And thats about all for I-lageu.

HENRY CAME a long way into the Academy but he has taken every advantage of being with us, and never, even as a plebe, has he longed suffi- ciently for his native heath-Tucson, Arizona- to consider the pangs as nostralgia. He has been steadfastly of Culver by Culver, for Culverhand rarely has a man made his presense and work more felt within the space of time that Halbert has spent as a cadet. The editors of this present ROLL CALL are much.indebted to him for the greatest of efforts which he put forth constantly to make the annual a success completely. He has worked in a similar manner for his class and his company and whatever else he has been connected with. This is his most noteworthy trait, but there are many others that make him a valued member of the class of '18-he is a cavalry member of the R. 0. T. a representative of his section at the Spanish table one of the general committee of the Y and the possessor of both merit decorations-star and lozenge of silver.

C, ,L l-IARRAH ENTERED the Academy with the usual splash. But it was not long before he began to raise his head and enlighten the cadet world with his experiences and his knowledge. Nor was it long before we found him in the ring as an instructor in astronomy he played his chimes that gave an individual interpretation of cast iron dancing as it should be done. Since that mem- orable evening no men have been allowed in the gymnasium on Saturday night without tennis shoes. lt is regretable that the grounds will lose one of our greatest' assets of beauty and that Niles has again claimed the smiling face that has entranced so many a rhiney. 'lDon't fight unless you have to-but when you have to, be ready . That is the motto of our nation and of the Boy Scouts-and l-larrah is something of a Boy Scout in this detail himself. He is known here primarily for his ability in the Queensbury game, but he is far more than a cadet pug . Not many yearlings do more than he has done. He is game right through-as proved by his en- tering the Aviation Corps, which he will do im- mediately after this commencement.

I CHARLIE CHAPLIN beat Dewey by a very little bit in getting into this W. K. vale of tears. Otherwise Dewey would now be drawing the former's fat salary instead of toting and tooting a funny shaped horn in our band. There is no trouble in locating Dewey's footprints in our local sands. He is known to everyone-partly by reputation, mostly in person. No one who has ever seen his caricatures of different celebri- ties in school and out, particularly his imperson- ations of the Powers that Be will forget them or him. l-le has set the band laughing at all times, right and wrong, and once- especially, wrong, when he violated the austere atmosphere oi Sunday chapel by mimicing the speaker. What Dewey was told in a private conference that followed, he has never revealed and neither has he ever repeated that stunt. But withal, he is more than a mere imitator. Aside from his trifling tendencies, he is irreproachable. Three years in our cadet musical organization have taught him to beat the band.

No, he isnt very tall, but then neither was Bonaparte.

Also, take it from us, when he says jump, you'se guys! , you'd better perform a regular spring.

As A fair haired young trooper an efficient corporal and one of the very few officers of the guard who havent made any errors at guard mount before the grinning crowd that always come out to watch that ceremony, Hopkins is particularly famous. I-Iis career here came dangerously near an untimely end in the spring term of his first year when he warbled his native wood notes wild in a bellowing voice that echoed all over the campus and awoke the denizens of South and West. Most of the said inhabitants of these barracks were old men and the shower of boots, shoes, bricks, bottles and profanity that poured forth nearly drove Hopkins out of his senses. But the same zeal that he displayed in his favor when the more important non-com- missioned officers were awarded, and he has done more to raise the standard of his own rank m the COTPS than any corporal in a long time. lt is too bad that he cant continue with us for we d all like mighty well to see what he would do as a commissioned officer.

He has done so much to distinguish himself that it is hard to divide it into even the three natural divisions, good, bad and indifferent, for he has done little that is in- different and nothing that is bad. He once yelled Hey you at a caddy, mistaking him for some- one else, and it nearly ruined him. But it takes more than ordinary discouragement to set back a man of Howes type. Nothing can ever ruffle his absolutely serene disposition. lf he goes into fighting as he has gone into everything else he has tackled here he is going to put more pepper into this international stew than anybody ever thought was possible. He is as a side issue a writer and distributor of the Vedette and he has certainly helped make that journal success- ful. Academically and in athletics he has made good with the same ease. And yet he has the nerve when asked for his record to reply that he doesnt think it is worth talking about. His ambition is first to put the bee on the Kaiser and then to throw an egg into an electric fan and see whlat happens. All told, he is as unusual as he IS oyal and true and exactly the kind of man that we are proud to know. PAGE 82 .Ei 51 nf N1ll.lT3l Pvt, l Nilscrzl. Sxur.

Is DISTINGUISHED as a linguist, a talkist and a trackist -about equally in all three re- spects. Especially has he achieved fame in one way locally and uniquely. He never refers to his girl as my woman . I-le has acquired SoME reputation as a Mercury here-so much so that nis life became a burden during tactical problems, wherein he was always requisitioned as the gal- Qant messenger. I-Iis experiences as a cadet have been many and varied, and it would take a book -arger than this entire annual to record them all. Many of them-most, in fact-center around his activities in the mess hall. Cn the serious side, he is noted for his Huency in French and his dis- fike for Latin. I-Ie hasn't fully decided which he prefers to enter-the national army or some col- ege-as yet. I-le is thoroughly fitted for either.

He was assigned to some company that he didn't care to join at thenbegin- ning of his life here-why the dislike he has never explained-but at any rate, he calmly walked along the battalion and looked over the compa- nies until he saw something that he liked in and there he stayed. At the beginning of his second year he was rewarded with a corporalcy in this same company, and no one has ever re- gretted it. As 'vice-president of the I-Iikers he has put that organization on a better footing- no joke intended-than it has ever known. As one of A's baseball team, he has kept that company in the running for two seasons. And so on ad infinitumg that being what johnson calls Uhighbrow for bunk .

I-le drew down a corporalcy in D this year and he has held it down in mighty good shape. Also, he has made the Troop, played company basketball and baseball, joined the l-liking Club. The schol- astic pace got a little fast toward the close of this term, and his star showed silver threads among the gold , but the aureate luster of his other decoration has never been dimmed. In conclu- sion, his tour de force consisted in running O. A. when the annual crop of busts was harvested. lt required a cadet Napoleon to run things then, and Kellers proved the boy Nap.

Then he rants, raves, and rages. l-le lost one roommate and put another all duty before the academy came to respect his little sectional ideas.. l-le is going to Yale if he can, and the only thing than can prevent is a series of examinations. lf he gets by these as he has at Culver, our loss will it -5 be Yale's gain without a doubt.

It is a far, far cry back to the September afternoon in '14 that Lewis chose for his birthday in cadet life. The intervening space is thick with medal awards, promptness and what not-in fact, they are so numerous that it is ridiculous to try a description of them. Briefly, he rose, as a result of consistent work, from an ordinary rhiney to one of the color corporalcies, then to the first sergeantcy of E and a captaincy of D in the High School Camp, and now, Hnally, to the cap- taincy of C , which he has welded into a strong capable company. Football has been the most noted of his activity athletically. In other lines he has risen to a variety of offices and has ac- quired all kinds of reputation. For example, he has been president of the Clee Club, member of the music committee, member of the Service Club, is adorned with silver ornaments for study and discipline. No one knows definitely just what he plans to do, and how he will utilize his training in the the future, inasmuch as he declines flatly to say. It is rumored that he will be a Marshall Field of Britt if he follows his present intentions. PAGE 89 I V. f'.?irC'F iw. ffl f w zwfwr 5 .Y mag, ,fa .ra 2 ' 4, J f 2' 2 4 ,af ft . h V ' 1 ix ff.

LIKE I-Irs famous predecessor of the same name, Livingston did a lot of exploring. I-Ie broused around for a long time before he could decide what prep school deserved to be his alma mater. l-le finally choose Culver. We're glad-and he's glad-that he did. l-le has done a great deal more than the average yearling, even of the First Class, can lay claim to. I-Ie played com- pany basketball and company baseball and made the Varsity tennis team. He served capably on two committees of the Y. M. C. A. and took a prominent part in all his companys activities. l-le has been able to pass the Dartmouth examina- tions so far and expects to enter that college next Fall. l-le has been able to do a great deal here because he has entered into everything in the right manner and has given Culver of his best whenever and wherever Culver has asked it of him. More than that cannot be said of any Cul- ver man.

In scholastic work and in athletics, he has made good more than satisfactorily. Socially, he has avoided the common pit fall of plebes, i. e., inviting mythical persons to the dances, or escorting some fair Nemesis from our village . In military work, he suffers the fate of all one-year men whose brief course makes any comment on their military ac- tivities impossible. Accordingly it is impossible to record his achievements as a soldier. If his Work as a private can be relied on as any indica- tion at all, he'd have gone high, given the requis- ite time, ofhcially. But these are 'Saddest words of tongue or pen . I-Ie has nothing to regret or lament-nor have We, except that we'd like to have known him more and better. He has made a good Culver Cadet - he will make a good alumnus. PAGE 91 l l i 'SY Wil .

Only a few of us understand why, and we are too charitable to disclose the secret thus openly. Chauncey is a Knight of the O. A. R. I-I. -which is the unwritten society of Open Air, the UR. I-l. representing the trite but true attri- bute to be expectedg to wit, Rough-Housersn. One Spring afternoon in his last year he almost revised the strategic principles of the world by attacking a company single handed. He ex- plained it pretty well. Theoretically, he declared, he was right. If the company had been right, it wouldn't have been there at all, therefore it was wrong. So if it was wrong, he was right. I-Ie has been an outstanding figure in some of the most spectacular mix-ups the staid academy has ever witnessed and he is always immerged unscathed, grinning and rubbing his glasses. Elsewhere, however, he does no trifling. I-lis record here is a good one in every way. l-le has displayed great spirit in working for his company, his teams and the school. These are some of the reasons for which Culver will miss him.

Alto- gether, he has done well in everything he has undertaken, and it is to be hoped that he will be equally lucky elsewhere. It would be unfair not to mention that he is a charter member of the Eels of East -a cadet organization devised to attack by force any recalcitrant bathers in the barracks. He will enter the U. of Minnesota after he graduates. Let's hope he makes good there as he has here.

In that time he has been able to judge Company for four of its five years from the inside. For two of those years he has buffaloed a squad into abject obedience and has wheeled many a rhiney into acquiring a heroic set-up. We are counting on knowing his future rep by reading articles on minerology to be written in highly technical magazines of the country. And will if he don't remain a cabin boy too long. 1-le has an idea that he would be a good and con- tented cabin boy. Well all keep track of him by means of maga- z1nes and pull for his luck.

LOTS CAN be written about Nippert, but anyone who knows him will recognize him best by a refg erence to Virgil. james is a lexicon of Latin all by himself. And he made a rep for substituting words that even the classic old authors hadnit thought of using. He is also a First class corporal, and infantryman in special R. O T. C. work and one of the varsity football squad. When the Y. lvl. C. A. reorganized its plan of campaign this year it hit upon jim as a committeeman. It was a good opportunity and he made the most of it. Possibly he is better known than anyone else because of his proclivity for barefoot dancing. I-Ie yearned to dance one night after the movies, but lacked the requisite dancing dogs . But was james the Resourceful daunted? Halha! Not he! Like his Scotch forebears, he thought on the run, and shortly emerged from the dressing room shoeless. And he got away with it. This is an example of his ability to get away with whatever he will. May this ability stay with him!

Entertainment Committee. I-le was our choice cheer leader last Fall and he made a great success of it. I-lis original Yell, C-C-Cul- V-V-Ver is one of the best cheers Culver has had in years. As Mark Twain wrote of Tom Sawyer, he wasn't the best boy in town and Dave hasn't been the most model cadet in School, but he has made a host of friends. Dave has many honors, but the greatest of these distinctions, is being an honorary member of the O'Keefe-Wolfe Aggregation, which has neared bankruptcy many times this year, but has weathered the storm.

He couldn't quite decide which of the five classes he wanted to -join, when he entered, and for a while he pendulumed back and forth from one extremity-the fifth-to the other-the first. At length, after the acting sup., the head- master and the C. C. C. had all been called into consultation, he acted on their advice and joined the class of 'l8.

Nevertheless, he leaves a good record-three years' company football and basketball and steady effort for every varsity team that would give him a chance. I-le finally got into fast company in baseball, appearing as a regular on last year's varsity team, and he would undoubtedly have played regularly again this year. I-le served in the High School Camp a year 'ago and made good from start to finish as a non-com. ln fact, he was one of those who kept his company in the com- petition right up to the end in spite of the lack of a company commander. Lawrence is the best of fellows personally and officially, and if he is as capable at Annapolis as he has been here, he will make good as a midshipman before very long.

This last scion of a notable race has done much to uphold the other of his family escutcheon-and he him- self, consciously or not, pulled a classic in refer- ring to it as his lVIcCutcheon . This and his presidency of the Pop-Corn Club have been his most noted and notorious accomplishments. Too. he has had an unusually distended life, even for one of his build-geographically, that is. He has ranged, in rooms and roommates from Qpen Air to Fleet and from Roost clear to East. A life, as 't were, in extended order. It is as a trooper, perhaps, that Parker has been especially con- spicuous. He made the society of the mounted elite his first time out, shone prominently with them in NVashington last year, and ever since has been one of their most distinguished members. For the rest, he is fair-passing fair, in his studies and also in appearance, aided and abetted in the latter feature by an inimitable pompadour.

THERE ls nothing Paxton has done that he hasn't done well. 1-le has never had the opportunity to decorate his quarters here, but he has ideas about decoration that make Urban look cheap. 1-le sings, dances, likes to sleep, hates to go to bed, thinks Cicero is the greatest of all authors, ex- pects to go into the movies as a scenic director after his college course is over and has a most wonderful faculty for making friends and fast friends than any man in his class. I-le was one of the very first to secure a gold star as a reward of academic merit and he is one of the rarer few who has managed to hang on to it. From start to finish Pax, though he is not as peaceable as his name abbreviated would indicate-for he is literally wild to go into the service-has been a successful cadet, a strong asset to the Academy and a real friend.

Rifle lam Silver Service Club i WITH THE birth of the class of 1918 came Ted Cecil Peters of Tulsa, Qklahoma, to take up ' his abode in Main and with F company because of his shortness of height. Pete is very small, but indeed he has done great things during his four years at Culver. Little Pete worked hard and got his reward in the shape of a lieutenancy. When Ted is not working over his Virgil ', 'jXVil- liam Tell , i'Sombrero de Tres Picosu or French for Soldiers , he takes great delight in strolling . through the orchards in the near vicinity of Cul- ver and partaking of the ripening fruits. Now time has come when Pete, as the rest of us, leaves his friends behind him. But we all send him away from Culver with full hearts. Good-bye, Pete, and good luck! We have wanted you for your work, we have liked you for yourself and we justly proud of you as a friend.

HJOCULAR jERRY , also known as the Battler , landed in B four years ago, and he has re- mained therein right up until the very' last mo- ment of his Culver career. I-le has no marked likes or dislikes and no eccentricities-except a. habit of sitting, more or less unconsciously, like Rodin's Thinker . No one has ever absorbed more of Capt. IVliddleton's obiter dicta than has jerry, and he has even risen to a pitch of audacity whereat he has disputed points of military science with the instructor. Few cadet chemists have ever approached him for knowledge of the whys and wherefores of Capt. Wilson's subject. He has fairly lived in the chem. lab. He is a four- year Trooper and a member of the Clee and Service clubs, and an all-around good fellow. PAGE 104 1 l 1' illlwill lllllllllllliiiiliiillli. .

His lvlilitary and'Troop records are self-eXplana- tory. jim was a hard communion worker as a private, made good as a corporal and was given a first sergeantcy for this year and in recognition of his good work was made a lieutenantywhen he entered the First class in November. jim made the Troop his plebe year: There is no better indorsement than that, as to his ability as a horseman. 1-le has been one of the mainstays of the E Company football team for the last four years. His worst habit is being in Company. jim has been a man who has refused to recognize fortune and has been a friend to everyone and everyone has been glad to call him their friend. What better recommendation can be given?

His accomplish- ments are varied, being 2nd Lieutenant in the Black l-lorse Troop, 2nd Lieutenant A Com- pany, Treasurer First Class, Secretary of the Service Club and was manager of the Culver whirlwind basket ball team of 1918. These spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S and we all envy him his genial smile and never say die spirit. When he passes through the Iron Crate , Culver will lose a true friend and real man.

Vice-Pres. lst Class IF IT were possible, this write-up would be en- trusted not to anyone in the batt , but to some good reliable and conservative statistician who knew figures and nothing else. Looking at .Joes record is dizzying-terrifying-bewildering. lt is not easy to realize that one person can achieve so much. Shortly after Christmas of '13, he en- tered as a plebe in the company commanded by the-then-Cadet Captain Strole. The Acad- emy didnt realize it, but there was a new force in its cosmos. Baseball, football, track, basket- ball, boxing, dancing, rowing and bowiling he conquered one by one, and then sighing for new realms to conquer he was attracted to cavalry. The rest reads like a rhapsody. To those who have seen him ride comment isn't necessary, to those who havent, it's impossible. Private, cor- poral, first sergeant and first lieutenant-he held these ofhces in the Troop as rapidly as time and a penchant for temporary reduction would per- mit. lvleantime, he was completing a like Hcursus honorumu in the battalion, and he hnishes up as captain of and, for the Fall term, Senior Captain. No one can record in print Reds standing here. l-le goes out, in most respects, the biggest man in his class. PAGE 107 ,LL X i ri xglbj x ,f r 3 lf':::4 f jflflff -it sw ..

I-Ie soon be- came the official minstrel of Main and all the old men in the barrack fought for his services. I-le has favored East wvith his merry madrigals all this year.

North has resounded many a time to his sten- torian tones as he argued on some point or other in philosophy. l-le is also a star in the art of interior decorating. l-le has developedffhis gift exceptionally and ' has a taste for the beautiful that is absolutely aesthetic. l-le has been some- thing of a pastoral poet, too. He is intensely loyal to his friends and in his plebe year almost got into a fist fight with a group of old men who were kidding one of his pals. l-le has made and kept a host of friends because of this and his other good traits and no one has ever made a better impression in the same space of time than smiling jay of lvlemphis.

His present residence outside of here is in Bethlehem, Pa., and he is so fond of Pennsylvania that he expects to go to Lehigh University for a degree in science. Frank over- came an enormous handicap when he came back after being forced. to omit a year on account of sickness. His talents are many and varied. Per- haps his strongest point is pulling down awards for marksmanship. ln fact, he made the most re- markable shot ever recorded here when he blew the cap off one of the workers on the Vonnegut farm.

I-le's also a leading light in the Service Club, and he belongs to a number of the Hunwept, unhonor'd and unsung organizations that add so much vim and verve to the batt's existence. Chiefest of these is the group of which he is the recently made president, known as the Big Busters . I-le is also a reader in the Wizzards of West .

Tommy has crammed an awful lot into his three years and we all hate to see him go.

Putting it prosaically, he is best known as a tennis and range shark, and has won his'Culver On the latter squadj May we have more in the academy of the future who'll be like Madison R. Turner.

He drew down a well-ranked corporalcy after his first year with the 'academys musicians and he has made good with it as he has with everything else which he has undertaken.

At one time in his career he was to he the central figure in a snappy musical play entitled 'Tut Tut, Tuttle but somehow the production never panned out and the battalion was deprived of an opportunity to see H. T. as a singer and Thespian. He is a Spanish artist of some note, according to those in his class in that language-whether or not this is a sarcastic reflection on his tendency to relate tales in English as well as in the foreign tongue, cannot loe said. He himself smiles a superior when questioned about it. He will enter the University of Minnesota next Fall, if nothing happens to prevent.

Vivian one of the most prominent men in the entire school. And it took him only two years to go this high. Destined by fate and nature to be successful and blessed with better looks than any one man has a right to-, he would have made an equally brilliant record wherever he went, and it is Culver's good fortune that he happened to choose this as the locale for his training. He wants to be a lumber man after he has had a crack at the Hun. If ever he gets to France that perfect bearing and those wonderful features are going to create havoc somewhere. I-le was a corking good sergeant last year and one of the very few men who were given commissions last june. He returned in the fall as a lieutenant in the line and made himself watched within a month. When one of the commish was unable to return after Christmas A. Vivian, of Laurium Michigan, was read out by unanimous chance as First Lieutenant and Adjutant. And finally he is a Sergeant and one of the rough riding squad in the troop and in every way a wonder.

HSHEEPN is a friend who takes the good side of an argument whenever he gets a chance. And he has never been known to listen through an opponents entire point without interrupting him. Rumor has it that the debating prodigy accoun- ted for himself in senatorial debates before he ever mopped the floor with a cadet. An interesting point about B. lvl. Webster. jr. is that every one who knows him has a nick name to apply. The Varsity football brotherhood first called him Sheep . A certain member of the faculty who gives nick names premiscuously calls him Daniel, giving the name a peculiar accent. These two names have become the most common. But whether the class calls him i'Sheep'y', l'Daniel , Webby , Bethlehem , iVIormol or lVlate they have the same high regard for him. For the last two years we have seen him at work on an ofhce and we are confi- dent of his success at his work in Colorado. PAGE 119 V , ,:.,f . M A7 '74 LEW hi X . f ' 3 . S ff I .

Glance at his record and you will find it all littered here and there with so many different honors that it is no use repeating them. And if you wish to know of his other and greater accomplishments we are sorry to inform you that he'll tell you nothing. I-le was interviewed for this writeup and asked what he had done, and he answered that he hadnt done anything much. Do. you call that list of doings, Nothing much ? Nope-and neither do we. To make it biographical he likes: Pretty nearly everybody here, Doug Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, soft collars, vacation and math. l-le dislikes: Getting up at reveille, going to bed at taps, night guard, studying, red ink, plebes, dances, war politics and full dress. No man here has more friends than Wedeles. We hope to hear great things of him yet, and believe us we ll realize those hopes.

Vv'eil. Lets see-what has NVeil done, or rather, what hasnt he done. I-le stood out in the army of new men last year because of his poor habit of getting up and arguing with the flower of our faculty and on one memorable occasion he grew so heated in a war argument that the instructor put him outside to cool off. I-le's also very well known for having been the only man in the history of Culver or any other institution to advertise bull ring. I-Iis path through our Academy has been of the well known primrose type and he has set his little Tootsies on few thorns. ln fact the sole thorn as his friends know, is his thirst for vengeance on the gang who caught him one night and made him do a toe dance. Weil is as good a cadet as he is a pal and thats saying a great deal. PAGE 121 Q21 346536 W! ssl-Q iq ,.

And this same loyalty has made him a valuable man here-valuable to his friends, to his com- pany and to the academy. I-le began in the Fall of '16 as a plebe in made the troop, landed a silver star and a silver lozenge, joined the Y on the publicity committee, and, lastly, developed into a genuine bear in Cicero. All of which might be called, conservatively, SOME introduction to the academy for james of Georgia! Last Autumn he returned as a corporal in switched to managed the latter basketball team, warbled sweet Southern mad- rigals so appeallingly that they just had to put him in the Glee Club, and changed his silver sleeve stuff for the l:airer, rarer, gold .

Somebody once referred to him as the 'Wlifhitt of South , and rotten as the pun is he has undoubtedly done a whole lot to enliven that staidyand dig- nified carravanserai. l-le has been one of the mainstays of B Company and one of the chief reasons for their championship in football and in basketball. l-le has taken more hard falls as a cavalryman than any one that has ever ridden and yet he has always come up smiling, which is a wonderful characteristic and epitome of his character. ln a military way he has been one of the best all around corporals in the batt . l-le hasnt quite made up his mind as to what course to follow, college or aviation. Which ever he chooses, heis sure to be successful in-we who know him will vouch for that. PAGE 23 ' V WN09 99 W?-11 . Z . sv' WLM X 4 ahh, ,? ..., E 1 ,5 In ' ' 4421- ?'fL'Ti1?

Thus doth greatness descend on an unappreciative world. R. W. has had a great time running back and forth between South Bend and school and frequent leaves of absence and no one knows just why he has gone either. As usual, it is rumored that there is a woman in the case. But to cut the kidding, .seriously, Williams has won out in every respect. l-lis record shows that he has been as good as we know in everything that he has had a chance to do. The entire battalion loses a mighty good friend and a man we have all come to know and like a whole lot more than can be expressed in this brief sketch of him.

I-le grabbed off a Varsity Culver with ease last year and his improvement this year is one of the big reasons for the Track Teams strength. l-le is about as modest an individual as ever struck the school. Solicited by the track coach at the beginning of his plebe year as to his ability, he replied Yeh, l can leg it a bit . I-Ie was invited to come over to the gym and leg it under the critical eye of the instructor. He came over in full uniform without a minutes preparation. There was a giggle when the big, gangling rhiney walked out onto the track. They didn't laugh after he had won hands down from the varsity men. Every since then he has been a pillar of strength to the Track Team. incidentally he has a corporalcy, some silver ornaments, and the good will of every- body who knows him. Indianapolis lost an asset when he came hereg we lose one as he goes.

Consider for-a moment the obstacles that T. W. has had to surmount, clamber, over, push aside, burrow through and otherwise make way with before he could become one of the battalion. lt is no wonder he has adopted Excelsior which he is fond of reciting for his personal motto. lt is hard enough to come as a plebe at 21117 and harder to come as a first class plebe. Health wasnt always in hisifavor either and for a while it looked as though he would have to quit but he stuck to it gamely and finally fortune smiled on him so that now he is pulling through and out with flying colors. These obstacles never phased him a bit. Plebes in the '18 class are rarer than gold stars in the study hall and Wright has had to stop some academically to keep up with the pace making graduates. But he has done it and done it as he has everything else. We never had a man here for the same length of time who was better liked. G f L I 1: A I 'fun' 7 . ,fu Sw l fl if Q- I. U- ah- 3 . --L' 5?

The salient features of 1917-1918 have been'its practicability and its changes on the military staff. The first is discussed hereafter. The second is worthy of some note. Colonel L. R. Cignilliat, Superintendent, was one of the very first to leave the Academy and the tactical staff as soon as possible to a man followed their head. Captain Rossow, Captain Bays, Captain Miller, Captain Rockwood, Captain Kennedy, Lieut. McKinney, Captain Elliott and others going into the army to be commissioned, in most instances, with grades higher than those held here. Their places have been filled most capably by new officers, several of whom are recent Culver graduates. The past year has differed widely from others. The display drills and close order work hay e been com aratively slighted and the greatest emphasis has been ' P . put on the variety of practicability of field work and the year closing contains a minimum of company drills. The great distinctions of this year's work are five. The application of the R. C. T. and its prin- f the work, the building of the new rifle range, the inauguration of specialization, i. e., the detailing of one particular officer for one particular class of instruction and finally Captain lVIiddleton's combat exercise, as the skirmish run is termed. lt is with these five divisions of the year s work that this review deals. ciples, the greater scope o I l ne into which Culver is The Reserve Gfficers' Training Corps is O admitted almost entirely through the efforts of Colonel Ciignilliat, who secured the passage of a bill authorizing the admission of Culver and the few similar institutions which, while not actually colleges in name, are doing as much as, or often a great deal more, work than the universities and land grant colleges can accomplish. The tech- nical details of the R. 0. T. C., its workings, standards of eligibility, etc., are commented on, a little later, by the Commandant. lt has proven less complex than was first feared and through the skillful h dl' of it here by Major Creiner and Major Adams, Culver has an ing ex erienced no difficulty in meeting the requirements. A number of P men are not enrolled mainly because of age or lack of service as dis- qualifications, but the greater majority of the corps belong to R. O. T. C. ln May of this present year, when the Fourth Qfficers' training camp was begun, a severe test was applied, inasmuch as six men, Behler, Bowers, Cates, l-laskins, Thompson, C., Vivian, and Wack- nd instruction limits, were required to man, coming within the age a leave the Academy on the very eve of graduation and to report to the camp, but every man, after some little contemplation, joined and l The First B.

C. course is divided into separate classes-the basic course, then courses ive and six, and lastly courses seven and eight. Nlajor Creiner, Commandant of Cadets, has issued for the pupose of general information this state- lTlCl'lllf RESERX'E OEE1cER.s' TRAINING CoRPs There are two units of the Reserve Dfhcers' Training Corps main- tained in the Academy-an Infantry and a Cavalry. When the units were first established, a year ago last December, the War Depart- ment gave permission for strictly military schools in the Honor Class to complete the course prescribed in three years. A later ruling of the Department required that four full years be spent in order to complete the course. Cadets entermg the institution are automat- ically in the Reserve Dfficers' Training Corps, but are under no obligation to the Government. After spending two years in the Academy, the complete courses one, two, three and four, otherwise known as the Basic Course, and are then eligible to sign the Crovern- ment contract for further training, providing they are first or second classmen. According to this ruling cadets must be in the institution at least two years before they are eligible to draw any pay from the Cwovernment. They must also be at least first or second classmen at the end of these two years. Garrison Parade The Practical Subjects in the Basic Course are as follows: Bayonet Combat, Combat Firing Comparison of Ground Forms Equitation and I-Iorsemanship First Aid Gallery Practice Entrenchments Nomenclature Range Care of Saddlery Sand Table to Scale Semaphore and Flag Signaling Sighting, Position and Aiming Drill Stable Management Care of the Horse Fire Control The Practical Subjects in Courses five, six, seven and eight: Duties of Rank and Sketching Theoretical Instruction for the Basic Course: Camp Sanitation for Small Commands Camp Sanitation and Camp Expedients Combat Field Orders Marches and Camps Map Reading Nlilitary History and Policy Recent Military I-Iistory Theoretical Instruction for Administration Court-Martial Proceedings Elements of International Law Methods of Obtaining Supplies Map Maneuvers h linor Tactics I Courses Pillai Military Organization Military Policy Personal I-Iygiene 'Service of Security and Information Theory of Target Practice Tactical Problems U.

Not within the service of any cadet now in Culver ,--in all probability not -since the very beginning of the school---has there been a Government inspection such as this years bat- i talion underwent. Bombing Toward the middle of March, long before the time set by precedent for even preparations against the Government inspection, word was received of the inspectors presence at various nearby military schools in this department. Gulver's former tactical officers, notably Gap- tain-now lvlajor Rockwood-awired what they had learned to be the inspectorls requirements. Emphasis, lX.4ajor Greiner learned, wasto be placed on close order drill and upon discipline. l An idiosyncrasy of the inspector, the Gommandant learned, was a comparatively minor point. l-le was opposed to the practice of calling step and was eager that it be done away with. Vxf ith this meager note of warning, Major Greiner and the tactical staff set to work in earnest to prepare for the inspection which was to .take place at any time. When Easter week came and no announcement of the dreaded inspector had been made officially, the battalion felt relieved, believing that there would be nothing to fear until after the holiday anyhow. And then, like a bolt out of a clear sky, came the announcement on Friday, March 28, that lklagjor lvljax Garber, the governmental Bayonet Exercise PAGE The next item in the sum- inspector, would arrive the following day. A large crowd for the Easter festivities had already begun to arrive. There was a general air of laxity noticefable. The Com- , T- 1 K l d e a- ' ' mandant assembe p Tent Pitching rately the commissioned and non-commissioned officers and the more advanced R. 0. T. G. ' d d ribed the diffi- men and asked what they w1s.hed done an esc culties of the inspection. On the morning of Saturday, March 30, in time to see the breakfast formation, came the Government 'l b t ct inspector. The men marched perfectly, the step was si ent u exa and the appearance was as a whole most commendable. The 1n- spector then saw in succession guard mounting, garrison review, escort of the colors and inspection of the corps and the cavalry. f h rnmental inspection, which This last was extremely short or t e gove makes it by far the most difficult type of examination, inasmuch as the slightest error might cause a prejudiced and erroneous impres- sion. After the garrison review Major Garber inspected all the bar- racks and cottages, in which his only expression was a remark as to the number of phonographs as excess furniture. Immediately after the inspection the inspector asked to see a close order drill 'in a con- fined space. The troop drill and rough riding passed off extremely well and, while not a cavalryman, Major Garber was familiar enough with that branch of the service to pass favorable judgment. The battalion was turned over to the senior captain for a short battalion drill, this was followed by a simultaneous company drill. The con- templated maneuver was omitted and in its place was substituted a bat- talion parade which the inspector requested and in which B was honored by securing the most coveted line of the year. The Fffsfflid inspector remained over PAGE l - . to see the Easter play, Un Sunday morning he departed. lt is interesting to quote from a recent Vedette the following General Remarks from Major Garbers official report: Inspection con- sisted of all ceremonies, close and extended order drill, cavalry drill and exhibition riding in riding! hall. The Work was very Well done. Field problem omitted because of lack of time. The heads of this institution have been at this kind of work for so long a time and have made such study of military matters that the detail of an officer of the army is not in any Way necessary to the continued success from a military standpoint of the institution. The school is run as a strictly military school-and, judged from this standpoint alone, is a success. ' Qfficers of the army might well be ordered there for a short inspec- AGE S tion with profit to the service in general. I 1'CCO1'Y1mCHd that ENS institution be continued in the il-lonor' class.

The split drill hour devised by the Commandant and used from the first part of the present term until two months ago gives opportunity for every man to secure both theoretical and practical instruction. lnstead of the customary ' ' ' ' ' hort l nd lon eriod the drill time has been divided into two s sing e a g p , periods, giving each cadet equal opportunities for recreation. A new plan has been followed, too, in allotting to each of the tactical officers individually a specific duty and instruction in which to spec- ialize. Thus, one instructor taught trench work, another bayoneting, a third tent pitching, a fourth signaling, still another theoretical work exclusively. The system worked very well., The trenches, in the construction of which the invaluable spirit of com- pany competition asserted itself, are remarkably well and carefully made. Each company was first assigned a certain portion of sector of the entire trench and some rivalry sprang up to see which of the companies could accomplish the most and the' best ' work.

Captain Middleton backed the men all the time, too, and helped keep them on their toes from first to last in everything they did. Like all the companies, A had to endure its share of tough luck as to busts, but these left the company unshaken and the new and old men alike worked all the harder. In the military work was right up among the leaders all the way and did not finish far from the top in the fall competitive drills. 'Lines came pretty easy for the first company and they were second in May in number of lines won. In athletics A was one of the first companies to grab the banner, and they held it for a long while. Partly on account of their size and partly because they drew an unusually athletic bunch of rhinies, A sent a big gang out for varsity athletics in just about everything and most of them made good. Socially, too, A shone. They put up a strong fight for first place in the Y. lvl. C. A. campaign of November, contrib- uting enough to put them third. All told, everything went well for during the year l9l7-l8 and each man who was in it has good reason to feel proud of the showing his company has made.

About everything they could go after they got. and that is saying a great deal. The whole company worked as one man and that accounts for a lot of their winning. C finished second in the fall military competition. They were dormant in athletics until after Christmas when they suddenly woke up and copped off the indoor championship, having the honor to be the First company to win in this sport, which is new here. That seemed to give them fresh life and they astonished every- body by winning a couple of athletics days, and then a couple more and then another, and the First thing we knew C was proudly car- rying the athletic banner. Much of this change was the result of new and better managing, but the work of the company as a whole was the more important factor. C was forced to endure a little hard luck in the way of changes in tactical officers, too, losing first one and then the other of the tacs who were assigned to them. They took their troubles smilingly, however, and made themselves strong with everyone by the way they lost as well as the way they won. Looking over the three terms, fall, winter and spring, it is hard to see just where C company could have been or done much better.

And 'ADH gave a good demonstration of both by their pluck in Fighting against some bad breaks. Ted Logue was unable to return after the holidays and Camden was moved up from adjutant to take his place. lt was a big job, but Camden has put it over in good shape and we are all glad to see him make good as he did. Reviewing the year, we find that D did pretty well in everything considering certain handicaps they had to work against. They were right up among the foremost in every sport and competition and always took defeat with a grin. There were lots of men outside D who were pulling for them and that is certainly a good sign. Their tae and cadet officers appreciated this and worked their hardest to do their share. This spirit of co-operation when it finally came was the biggwt help the company had. ln ath- letics and miltiary work alike D kept after them all the time and were right up in the matter of lines. ln contrast to their bad fortune in other ways, D was lucky in getting by the entire year without losing a single one of its comish except Logue, and he withdrew from the school. Summing it up, D company can well be proud of itself, and no company has ever tried more. GE I m 721 PAGE 165 ursg f AL- ' ...u, ,.. , iw' zezfrwvme , -- -ii!

Forced to rely on rather small men, E is always a little bit at a disadvantage in certain ways, but everyone in the company worked hard and was afraid of no one in the batt., big or small.

They kept right on in football right up to the last minute, even though they never had a chance and they knew it, and they showed this gameness in everything else. When they won they deserved to and when they lost they said nothing, but showed themselves to be good losers.

CSRAWEORD I-IAMMERSCHMIDT MOSHER STORY, N. IEHL mf-1- SOfTU?vQ The t Band THE REVIEW of the band can be summed up in two words-Captain 0'Callaghan-. To him are due the in- creased ability, the musical improve- ment and the general development of the cadet band. The Academy may consider itself very fortunate in hav- ing such a manas CaptainQ'Callaghan at the head of its musical department. Up until Christmas the band was under the direction of Lieut. Kutsch- inski, at one time a cadet here. His work at the difficult post of band- master washighly efficient and every- one regretted seeing him leave. Im- mediately after the holidays Captain Q'Callaghan, whom the Academy had . secured with all possible haste, reported and took charge. The band has never enjoyed so prosperous and thoroughly successful a year. The concerts given each Saturday night in the mess hall and which at one time were regarded as something of a bore are now the great amuse- ment feature of the week, and Saturday 'night is the most crowded of all, few men caring to use permits to absent themselves and thereby to miss the concerts, which are composed of selections to ,satisfy -all tastes and at the same time including enough of the uhighbrowu to make the concerts really of a high order. ' Capt. O'Cc1llaghan But not only on account of their activities as a whole is the Band popular with all, but also because they have contributed the majority of the members to such organizations as the orchestra and jazz band, whose performances have come more and more to be part of the school life. Un such occasions as Thanksgiving, Easter and Commencement the Band is indispensable, not only at parades and reviews, but also at music rides, calesthenic exercises and so forth. , On account of the war, and the incidental R. G. T. C. activities, the Band has had to contend with heavy losses to the various companies E of men who would prefer to benefit by the more practical military work. Thus, these men are attached to companies for drill, and the practice thus lost has to be made up at night. This indicates the fine spirit in the Band. Athletically, the Band has been quite unfortunate this year in the loss of men. They had a corking good basketball team running for the intercompanv championship, but had to drop out of the race at about Christmas time, though they were in the lead at the time, not yet having been defeated. Q And, in conclusion, most encouraging is the fact that Captain O'Cal- laghan will return to be with the Band again next year. 1 The Troop in Wizsliington, 1917 The Troop T . T HE TRoUP is a distinct feature of the Academy for three reasons- its reputation, its spirit and its activities. These are perhaps the best answer that can he given to the question as to why every man in the school is eager to 'imake the troopf' - - The Black l-lorse Troop of Culver, as the cadet cavalry organization is formally known, first came into existence in l898. The nature of the horses and their appearance, the skill of the cadets, the value of the exercise and the character of the instruction given them soon made the troop known throughout the State. lt was not, however, until the spring of 1913 that the national prominence now enjoyed by the Troop was gained. Vice-President Marshall, an intimate friend of the Academys superintendent, while on a semi-official visit here was shown the troopers in action. l-le was at that time a candi- date for the Vice-Presidency of the United States.. ln his enthusiasm he exclaimed to Colonel Gignilliat that if elected those splendid horsemen should accomjoany him in the inaugural parade. Mr. Marshall was elected. l-le recalled his promise and sent hisfinvita- tion to the Academy. The entire school went. to Washington and made a very remarkable impression.

The is spirit everywhere, but nowhere as in the Troop. The cause of this is readily determined. Primarily, it is the atmosphere of intense success which the Troop possesses, due, as stated, to its reputation. Secondly, it is the competition which is the price of membership in the cavalry aristocracy. The great majority of cadets are enrolled in the cavalry course and at january, Easter and in the latter part of May there are held competitive examinations - try-outs -for the Troop. There are vastly more aspirants than there are vacancies and the resulting competition and work entailed are the chief reasons for the Troops truly wonderful spirit. , I '! i - ' . v.: -I - . .

The rough riders of the Troop are the envy of it and to become one of the rough riding squad is the ambition of every individual in the Troop. ln daring and skill they are perhaps the superior of any riders in the entire country.

Culver ath- letics are unmistakably a part of Culver and bear its stamp. Why? Primarily the school is noted for its successful teams. Coaches are engaged, equipment furnished and every possible assistance is given the members of the several teams. The spirit manifested by the corps in supporting its varsity and company representatives is inde- scribable. And yet. that the Academy can have any teams, much less winning teams, is to those familiar' with Culver a marvelous fact. The incongruity of these statements requires some explanation. All military schools worthy of the name are essentially military. That is to say, the military system extends throughout the entire day. Save in name, many institutions claiming the title are totally unmilitary except for a brief drill period in the afternoon. Not so here. Conse- quently, then, with a full program extending to the beginning of the recreation period-the only time available for athletics-the cadet is bound to be somewhat fatigued when he finishes his drill and reports for practice to his particular team. Many times guard duty, special assemblies, academic delinquencies, the performance of extra duty or physical disability must prevent men from taking part with any regularity in the practice. Again the recreation time referred to is comparatively short. And lastly, theyre are countless activities besides athletics which are equally alluring and well known. To these likewise only the recreation. period can be devoted. Such are the difficulties --very real difficulties-to be overcome in the preparation of victori- ous teams. And notwitstanding such handicaps, the school has been 'noted always, since the very beginning of the institution, for the clean play and the strength of its athletic representation. This may be attributed to two causes, viz.: the said spirit of fair play incul- cated in Culver men from the moment they are admitted, and of equal if not greater importance, the physical condition of the men-a fact which has become axiomatic in discussing Culver's athletic record.

T -0- -...... - I l---l---- The Gymnasium PAGE 134 So much for the atnletics themselves. lt may he well to dwell briefly on the nature of athletics here within the Academy. For many years there has existed at the school a species of inner athletic competi- tion. Qther schools have their Hhousesw, their Uhallsu, their fraterni- ties and their 'iclulosw playing against each other, lout unorganized. Some years past the different educational institutions of the East, both collegiate and preparatory, introduced what was then known as the intramural system of athletics. This consisted in athletics not indulged in merely by one picked team chosen from a selected group to represent the entire school, lout rather in a series of games between different units within the school itself. The idea is to make of every student a participant in the different games instead of a mere indolent spectator. Culver put into. execution this very idea for the whole period of its existence, and with this difference, that while the repre- sentative teams of the Eastern schools invarialoly were weakened hy the sudden impetus given atheltics in general, Culver suffered nothing. ln effect this singular feature of Culver athletics is likewise one to loe The Cheer Leaders found only at Culver-the system of inter-company competition. And this brings us to the final subject to be considered. The company in the cadet battalion is a unit in every way and no- where is this so exemplified as in the athletic contests in every branch of sport. The rivalry is intenseg indeed, so much that men will go to any legitimate length to gain victory for their companies. This excep- tional and admirable spirit is fostered to a great extent by what is known as Athletic day. Une afternoon each week is devoted to athletics instead of the customary drill. This is the source from which the Varsity teams draw their strength and it explains in great measure why in athletics as in all else the entire country has come to regard as synonymous, Culver and success . AGE Robert D. Peck' MR. PECK has achieved signal success in his position as coach general of athletics. l-lis collegiate record and his ability have made him such a director of athletic Work as the school has long needed. The foot- ball, basketball and baseball teams were very strong and all went through good seasons in spite of the general depression in sports, under his tutelage. The policy of using one coach for all or nearly all major sports is a good one, provided a capable man can be found. Bob Peck is the man and if he can return in the same place another year, aided by his experience he will almost undoubtedly repeat, or even improve on, his success of this past year.

Mr. ll call A Resume of the Season NoTw1THsTANo1No the loss of the final contest, the football season of l7 will go on record as Culver's greatest in every respect. The sole draw-back was the defeat by Kiskiminetas Springs Academy, in the Thanksgiving day game, before a huge assembly of cadets and guests: And this game, though it involved the national prep championship, is relatively unim- portant, in view of the crushing victory over our his- toric rivals, Lake Forest. W T ln l889, the year in which the great academies of the West began their athletic relationships, Culver tri- umphed, with 40 to Lake Forests O. With occasional , lapses, the two schools met almost regularly, and the statistics this year showed that since l9OO each team had won five' games. Accordingly when the two teams faced each other that last Saturday in November spirit was-higher, on both sides, than ever beforep Captain I-foster Inability to stop the Cfrangemens star back made the game a close-up during the first half, but the coach's inimitable faculty for arousing his men between halves did the trick, - 4 lt is customary to mention, in such reviews as this, the teams person- nel. This privilege, ordinarily an editorial one, has been yielded to Mr. Peck. The latter was very successful in coaching football and as coach-general of athletics. More men turned out in response to the call for candidates than ever before.. The spirit in the battalion was l I Signal Practice PA Early Practice The Bleachers PAGE 190 A Snake Dance Manager Logue The Coaches exceptional and the team was exceedingly Well supported throughout the year. The schedule was a long and ambitious one--to take on 'iKisl4i was to go a little out of our class, but the season was completed with great credit to the regulars and L'sulos of the 'l7 squad. With a hit more of speed and another hack to aid Holmes, the score of that Kiski game would have shown another claimant to the na- that Kisl4i game would have shownj another claimant to the na- tional 'iprepu title.

The Lane Tech Game THE SEAsoN opened with Lane Technical High School of Chi- cago. Save for the line which it furnished on the team, and the injury which benched Perry Thompson, thereby depriving the team of the services of a fast loack, the game was colorless. As is customary against Lane, Culver won easily - this time 34-O. Holmes, Howell and Hos- ter stood out from the army of players who entered the game. Holmes scored two touchdowns and Hoster, Howell and Denton, one apiece. , A For the first time in his three up Red ear at center.

Dorn Scoring: Lane Tech Came AG l Hungry The Elgin Game IF THE initial game did not pro- phesy a great season for the team, that which succeeded it was convincing enough for the most, skeptical. Touted as a stronger eleven than any of its class, Elgin Academy came here as the proverbial dark horse. Press accounts of their prowess fairly glowed, and one Chicago daily predicted that Elgin would win. Some uneasiness prevailed until the first kickoff . From then on it was a question, not of how, but of l-low MANY. Time after time, the powerful Culver backs Q Babe swept around the ends or tore through the line for sulostantial gains. Despite the absence of l-loster and some other regulars 69 points were scored to the vaunted Illinois team s none.

There was an abun- dance of confidence in the bleach- ers and plenty in the team, too, until some Blue back shot thru us for a touchdown not five min- utes after play beganj They could not kick the goal, which was from a bad angle. The Cul- ver eleven fought like devils, but the South Bend team added an- other before the half was up. Peck, as Sheep says, must of give 'm Hell between halves, raving and played in that spirit. George We got the ball in mid-field. Hoster shot around Stearnes' end for twenty-five yards. The stands went crazy. Notre Dame was slugging with their charac- teristic Celtic abandon and Culver was slugging back right merrily. Holmes, his jersey ripped half off, yelled to Swift, Gimme that ball -In m comin' through. Yes, you are-not , came back. F or answer Swift snapped the ball to Holmes and the Htankw went over the top.

We could not beat their freshmen because we started too lateg their Walsh Hall bunch trimmed us because we started too soon. When we scored a touchdown and kicked a goal right at the beginning of the second quarter, it looked like sweet revenge for the defeat of a week previous. Then something happened. Two brilliant forward passes worked, and both times their kicker put the ball between the posts. For good measure one of the visitors drop- ped a field goal over, shortly before the whistle ended the tor- ment. There was no further scoring. Fred Hester Kicking Goal MJD? G Iligxu Printzq T The Kalamazoo Game Two STRAIGHT losses had discouraged team and battalion somewhat, and an atmosphere of gloom, figuratively and literally-for it was pouring rain when Kalamazoo arrived-prevailed. The down- pour made a bog of the field and handicapped both teams tremendously. The game was-marred by one incident, as someone went across for Culver's sixth touchdown, a. Michigan player lifted him to his feet, saying 'Cood work, old man . That is all right in the movies but it looks, in life, like rotten football. t The coach got his results at last. The backfield, composed of I-lolmes, Denton, Swift, Smiley and Dorn, all showed up strongly. Moorei was as valu- able as ever on the line. Qld reliable jim Borland helped out a lot. Webster broke into the 'Varsity's lineup in this game. Criss-Crossj Kalamazoo Game Evansville Starting Around End The Evansville Game u lVlALEY IS a bum prophet. He declared for a week in advance that Evansville, his home-town team, would 'fstart something . They certainly did--a stampede. It looked from the stands like a garrison review, at double time. Holmes was nursing an injured leg and Moore was ineligible in studies. Gtherwise the team lined up just as they faced Kalamazoo. The game was a dreary, monotonous runaway. Why weschedule 'games with teams H as young, light and inexperienced, as this one is a perennial enigma. They played a hard, plucky game, but were annihilated. The score shows that Denton made four touch- downs, Hoster three, Dorn two, and Stadtfield and Langworthy one a piece. 1 Rulh Being Tackled Packer Gordon The Loyola Game OH, BOY! There have been some big celebrations here, but seldom anything to equal that given the squad when they returned from trimming the Chicago cham- pions-Loyola-3 5-7. I-lad Cul- ver's first team remained in the game, the score would have read, some hundreds' to nothing. Be- fore a hostile crowd, tricked into entering the field and completing their practice half an hour before game time - an old device to make a visiting team cold and nervous-playing a team thus far unbeaten, the Maroons put up, according to F. A. Bowers, M one of the few real football critics Om ' in the West, The greatest 'prep' fight ever staged in Chicago . ln the very first quarter Culver led off witha touchdown, Denton and I-loster followed Holmes, who made the opening score. Langworthy made two touchdowns in this game. Every goal was kicked. France PAGE 2 o k Packer Around Right End, Morgan Park Game Q The Morgan Park Game TIME WAS when to lick Morgan Park would have been an accident. This year it was an incident. The team played football such as the coach had been after all F all. Langworthy and Packer excelled, par- ticularly the latter. The teams greatest need, the season long, was a reliable quarterback who could relieve l-loster and permit him to return to his normal position-end. Packer seemed, in the Morgan Park tilt, to be the man. As usual there were few individual stars. ln consequence of careful coaching the team relied on co-ordination rather than on single handed brilliance.

A game fight against odds-that summarizes the game with Kiski. Culver's strongest team in many years lost--but it took the cham- pions to beat us. Almost every paper in the country picked Kiski for the national championship. From the First kick-off it was merely a question of time. Cutweighed in the line, outrun in the backfield, out- generaled and outlucked but not outfought, the Culver team went H down to defeat scrapping. ' No one .ffpf dared to 'expect a score, and when We ' got the held goal that spared the ig- nominy of a shutout-the crowded stands had cause- just cause - for their juloilation.

Vxfhen they heard that the Academys team was fast, they said they ate speed. They were Well fed. This contest Wasnlt like other Lake Forest games. To begin with, it was here. Then, I-loster won the toss. And finally, our team was different from last year's-a lot different. The first half was ordinary. There was great excitement when We scored three touchdowns, but they were close behind us with two. Then, during the entr'acte, the coach adressed the men. I-le must have told them a number of things, for they took the field again, snarling. ,By the time it was all over they had added twenty-eight points and Lake Forest had added nothing. .

Although. he was some- what handicapped by having to play several different positions, George developed into a star halfback. l-le was a good kicker, and accurate in throwing forward passes. Culver will miss this athlete greatly. STEARNS, L. E.-Playing his 'first year on the varsity, George was a first class end. Only rarely were gains made around him, as he was a sure tackler and covered punts well. - BORLAND, L. T.-Although jim played a new position this year, he developed into a stellar tackle. Both on the offensive and defensive he outplayed all his opponents. jim should make a great college player. FRANCE, L. G.-One of the three plebes on the team. France played a hard game all the time, and when a few yards were needed the backs could rely on this big, charging forward to open a hole. DRURY, C.-joe was one of the best men on the team, and although he is not a heavy man, every pound is available at the right moment. I-le is all over the field as a rover, and a good passer and sure tackler. PRINTZ, R. Q.-Printz was a small man for guard, but played a hard, stead ame Y 3 at all times, and was in every play. RUTH, R. T.-'Babel' was an ideal tackle. l-le knew the game from A to Z and could use his weight and speed to great advantage. The college that, gets .this player will be fortunate. lVlOORE, R. E.-Although this was lVloore's flrst year at football, he stepped right into the varsity and soon developed into a great player. l-Ie has all the qualities to become a star, lacking only experience. HOLMES, F. B.- Hungry was a hard line plunger and could always be relied l upon when a few yards were needed. l-le is captain-elect of next year's team.

Great things are expected of this player next year. SNVIFT, SUB.-GOTdOH could play almost any position, and was used to great advantage on many occasions. HATTAN, SUB.

BURT, SUBQG.-Drafted from the A Co. team, Burt developed into a good lineman later in the season, his size and weight making him a valuable guard. 1 DORN, SUB. F.

B.- Mike was injured early in the season, and could take part in only a few games. But his performance 'in these proved that Culver could have used this player to great advantage. ' LANGWORTHY, SUB.

Spring- like weather ruined the ice of the outdoor rink, but a huge public skating arena was engaged at the last possible moment. This was not available until after the public' skating was concluded, which necessitated a delay until after ll o'clock. The men left their down- town theater party early and hurried out to the north side. ln spite of the late start and the general discouraging circumstances, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a hockey match in Chicago saw the game, fourteen hundred people crowding 'LThe Arena . ' - Vivian won the toss and from then until the final whistle the Culver team played as they had never played before. It was significant that Vivian was playing his last gamefor Culver. The fast captain-center sped up and down the ring fighting all the time until the crowd, though a Chicago crowd, was pulling for the cadets. During the first minutes of play it was almost impossible to see the puck. Then a fast com- bination gave Vivian the rubber near the goal, but at a wretched angle, and he slammed it in for our first score.

They did so, however. No introduc- tion is necessary-a brief study of the games shows why. , Laporte ' The first of the long schedule of A A games came with Laporte here at Culver, Crane Tech. of Chi- cago failing to keep its promise when a storm intervened. The game was uninteresting except for the idea it gave of the teams strength. We won, hands down, Laporte showing nothing save a forte in free throws. Farwell, Frost and Hoster featured the contest with their all-round play. ManagerlSmiley Captain Denton lndianapolis ,Normal t The second game of the year and the second Saturday of the year seemed a bad combination for us. Remarkable team play and superior size gave the State collegians the edge. At that, the Culver quintette came back wonderfully in the second half and pretty nearly staged a HC1arrison finishu. If we'd had another five minutes of play we'd have tied 'em. At one time a single basket would have tied it up, but the visitors were too strong on the defensive and time was up before we could overcome their fresh lead, scored after the beginning of -the last period of play. , Culver High c Culver High was substituted for Kalamazoo when the latter school wired their inability to beat a big blizzard here, and the local put up a vastly better game than was to be expected. We ran true to form and beat them, but only after they had put up a plucky fight. I-loster and Borland stood the brunt of the work in beating the villagers. Interlaken b T 'fa ,, ' We just about annihilated lnterlaken, 68-21. The pro- gressive farmers were no match for the Academys well-rounded team, which by this time was develop- ing into the perfect machine the coach wanted. After a very few minutes of playing, it became apparent that the regular line-up was totally unnecessary and the entire team was withdrawn, substitutes filling all the places satisfactorily. There were no particular features of the game except the unwonted ferocity of the crowd in bellowing at the timid team from -down-state. Decker appeared to better advantage, perhaps, in this game than any of the other men T substituted. I a V ..,43.,,5z, 2,19 1 - r Kalamazoo Borl nd a The Kalamazoo team postponed and deferred, and put off its game with us until it began to look as if they feared Culver's team, and then they suddenly put in an appearance when everyone was least expecting it, and after the game it was unanimously agreed that we wished they had never come at all. They were es- pecially out for revenge, this Michigan bunch, on account of the trimming we handed their football team, and they got it, although no one thought from looking at them as they warmed up that they would prove anywhere near the equal of the cadets. Vv'e got off to a moderately good start, 7 and kept going until l-loster was yanked out for too much close work on his opponents person. Then we seemed to collapse and the half ended with the Culver team apparently bewildered. The second half was a regular runaway for the lvlichiganders, and they piled up point after point. The final count was 31 to 19 against us. fl Crawfordsville February ninth we crushed Crawfordsville by a score g of 40 to 21. We used practically two complete teams 'T ' Howell, Lucas, Davis, L., and Gignilliat coming in Hom, as substitutes. The very first play of the game gave us the lead and we were never headed. A rangy for- ward eluded Hutchinson and the other Culver guards and scored five baskets, but except for this one man they were helpless. lt was interesting in that it was Culver's all the way. As usual, the attendance was poor. T Faculty Thursday, the fourteenth of February, the faculty took on the burden of athletics in addition to their pedantic woes. Lieut. Foster, Lieut. Cignilliat, Wiley Miller, Coach Peck, Lieut. Smith and lvlr. Thessin s ' T made up their team, and it was a corker. We walked on them, to the boundless joy of the mob who thronged to the gym in glee at the double opportu- nity of avoiding drill and aiding the Red Cross, for the benefit of which the game was staged. But the trimming-wasnt handed out as easily as the score would indicate. Most of the cadet's points were scored late in the game after the -teachers 'had begun to tire. All ,round, it was a bully good game and the visitors enjoyed it as much as did the batt. '.l', Gignilliat, F. Grand Prairie i . The biggest team, physically and in strength, that has ever appeared on the school floor, came down There from Crrand T . Prairie the night of the sixteenth. Gignilliat made our first basket in the very first minute of the game, if and from then on it was nip and tuck. Falling, foul- ing and fighting the Culver team stujck to its heavier opponents like a real bunch of fighters. Time after time a pair of players would go to the floor with a heavy thud, but always, so far as Culver was con- cerned, to bound up again. The first half was a thriller. We ended it two points to the goody The second period started well for us, and when it came . down to the last actual minute of the game everyone felt safe, when the visitors suddenly got a belated , rally under way.

' A T i Brownson Hall Decker ff Indiana Dental College Doug Fairbanks, a local idol, delighted with a version of the Three lvlisketeersm and between the reels the team reeled off a little comedy of its own. The absurd runaway that gave us a vic- tory in the contest with Brownson Hall of Notre Dame can scarcely be termed a game. We certainly got an abundance of revenge for the two beatings we suffered on the hands of Notre Dame aggrega- tions in football. By the end of the second' half the cadet team was throwing baskets backward, left-handed, over their heads and every other way. They made 70 points' before the farce ended and could have -made 70 more without any trouble. i Lake Forest , March ninth Captain Bennett took the coach, the squad and divers of the 'icommishn with him to play Lake Forest. They were loud, in expressing what they'd do to get revenge on us for our triumph in football of last November, but that and the strange fioor and fatigue of the weary trip didn't affect the Culver team a bit. Borland, Hoster, Denton, Cignilliat and Frost opened for Culver. At the beginning of the second half Howell went in for Cignilliat and Hutchinson and was substituted for Frost. The combination proved a winner all the way. Vile were neck and neck right up to the last quarter. Then a series of fast passes and the now legendary 'iconditionn of the cadet team won out, the final score reading 27-20. 3.'f,:' There was no particular star. The i- ' E! men worked hard and smoothly 5 and deserved the victory. Xl. . Wheaton I 1 , The season of 1918 ended happily with a win over Wheaton College of Illinois, Saturday, March lb. Ross made his first bow in this game and put up a clever exhibition. Borland was the only man for whom no one was substituted, Howell relieving Hoster, Ross Cignilliat, Howell Hutchinson Frost, and Lucas, H., also a first-timer , going in for Frank Denton. After a slow first half Wheaton came back strong and tied it up. Howell got into a fist fight with his peppery antagonist at this moment and the referee had to end a mighty interesting scra.p. Both players were removed. . Vxfhen play was resumed the Illinois team couldn't stand up against the Academy's attack and it finished 42 to 31. . Post Mortem Hutchinson FIRST OF ALL, Coach Peck deserves unbounded praise for his efforts to make the season a success, and the team under his steady guidance was one of the best in years. ' Fred Smiley managed the squad after the departure of Hughes and although he did not participate in the actual playing, his efforts and time were given willingly. Denton, Captain, was a perpetual star, and was, perhaps, the biggest f u 1 H5 19 actor in the team s success. He was sure death on fouls. Ho score. He was exceptionally fast, and kept his guard busy to the utmost. ' ' ster, the fleet forward, can account for a large part of Culver's jim Borland, the old reliable center, was one of the most important factors of the Culver machine. His height and reach favored him in the jumps. Accuracy made Freddy Gignilliat a wonderful forward, and his un- tiring efforts wonmore than one game for the Maroons. Frost, conscripted from D Coat the start, was all that could be hoped for as a guard. The Denton-Frost combination was unsur- passable. L I , Hutchinson, as a guard, was able to step into the shoes of either Denton or Frost with .an ease and grace' that made him a valuable man. No fear 'could ever be expressed about Davis as a center. He was also a reliable point-getter at tossing fouls. V. Howell, forward, was probably the biggest point-getter of the squad. He starred in practically all the games in- which he had a part. Decker, although beaten out of' his trip by a few measles, had always the class and style that makes the strong alert guard. Lucas H., a swift and talented forward, could dodge around the floor and toss baskets to perfection. His services were often of great value.

THE REVIEW of the past track H season, both the indoor and the K outdoor, is not so much a sum- mary as it is a comparison with the season of 1917. Last year's I team was considered the greatest in the history of the Academy. ,Q Naturally this had a tendency to make things decidedly more diffi- cult for this present squad. To follow a World-beater in any activity, and particularly ath- Capzam Clare letics, is 8111 U1'161'1Vl3lDlC TlE1Sl4. It fManager1Qenned3i is not unlike succeeding the 'istarv act of a vaudeville bill. All this is noted by way of preparation for the somewhat unexpected assertion perhaps that the l9l23 squad not only equalled the standing of last years runners, but even excelled it and them. There are cited in the following resume of the year a number of facts to prove this. l-lere it will sufhce to mention one. As a rule a teams success is judged and determined to a great extent by the brilliance of its individual members. That is, by the number of records broken. During this season the following men established a precedent by breaking not some nor many but all of the indoor records. Thus, Kieferle tied the school record for the 35 -yard dash by making it in four seconds flat and in that same meet-against l-lyde Park-he broke the Academy record for the 220 finishing in 2611, and he com- pleted his day by running on therelay team composed of himself, Clare, Wood and Craver-the team which broke the indoor relay record with a mark of l 329 23. In the same meet Clare broke the school low hurdle record, his time being 4:2, and he also tied the localhigh hurdle record, his time being 4 14. Coodell broke two records also in this same meet, going around the 880 at 2 20613, and making the mile in 5 :Off These are prominent for beating Hyde Park as We did, 7 O-lo. Another meet distinguished for the number of marks shattered was that with Evanston, whom Culver defeated handily, 73-13. Kieferle broke the school record in the 220, Clare tied the highest previous mark in his pet event-the high hurdles-and the f relay team again set a new record-for the same event as before-but the mark was lowered on this occasion to l :Z9 instead of l 2913. These were the exceptional features of the season. On the tenth january, very soon after the battallion had returned from the Christmas vacation, the coach issued a call for candidates. About thirty men at- tended the first meeting. Training was then officially begun. A week later, or to be exact, the twentieth, there was held a meeting of the old men on the squad to elect a manager. This was hardly more than a formality, inasmuch as Kennedy, T., whose excellent work last year was invaluable to the team, was prac- tically assured of the job. lt may be remarked in passing that no man ever has handled the track Goodall managers difficult work with more care and ability than Duke , and he has realized that nearly meaningless phrase, efficiency. An inter-company meet was held the second of February. Allthe companies were unable to compete, but a great deal of good material for the Varsity squad was disclosed. Early in Febru- ary the schedule was announced definitely and in the middle of the same month we met our hardest oppon- ent, University l-ligh of Chicago. We lost 47 to 39, mainly because of the services of an unusually strong individual point winner on the visiting team. This one man won three Hfirstsm for the Chicago team. Two weeks later we met and swamped Oak Park ol to 20. l t is merely just to record that Qak Park was deprived of the presence' of five men who were ineligi- ble on account of studies. The following Saturday was the date of the Hyde Park meet and the orgy of record breaking mentioned in the introduction. lt should not be thought that these marks are joke records .

The Culver team took the meet with 505 points, while the nearest competitor made but 23. Clare lowered the Miami interscholastic record in the 220-yd. low hurdles by 3X5 of a second, and the cadets took six gold medals, four silver medals, two bronze medals, and five ribbons. This was the first outdoor meet of the season, but, judging from the results, this year's team promises to have a season equal to that of the indoor squad. .

The departure of Mr. Peck, the Varsity coach, early in the season was a serious loss to the school and to the squad in particular, but his place has been ably taken by Mr. Loper, now Lieut. Loper, who recently played on the Ann Arbor baseball team. The following is a resume of the games that have been played so far: Crane Tech Won, 2 to 1 A The first game of the season netted. a victory for Culver against Crane Tech of Chicago. The game was good and fast, and, especially as it was the first of the season, was quite free from errors. Heidt, hurling for the cadets, was the mainspring of the occasion. He allowed but four hits, struck our thirteen men and accumulated a triple and a double out of his three times at bat. - 1 Wendell Phillips , Won, 8 to 5 The Wendell Phillips I-ligh School game was the last to be witnessed by Coach Peck before his departure for the service. The cadets honored him by another victory, although the game was one of the mediocre variety, except for the first five innings, which were fairly good. Borland started the game, butwas superseded by Packer in the sixth. J A Senn High School Won, 17 to 5 A terrible slaughter, as the score indicates. Culver batted around in the first inning, collecting five runs all told. Scoring three more in the second, and two in the fourth, we again batted the circuit in the sixth, running up six more tallies. In the seventh the Senn pitcher hit five men in succession, forcing in three runs. The game was woe- fully one-sided. E The Varsity Baseball Squad MR. PECK . . Coach HOWELL .

'A Inauguration of lhe Swimming Poo! g Swimming T THE NATA'fORIUM, appropriately. dubbed Hlvlaxinkuckee Annex , was finally completed after a year of trial with labor troubles, short- age of material, etc., and was formally dedicated as part of the Thanksgiving program. ' The addition of this, the finest pool in the country, gave opportunity during this past Winter and Spring for the introduction of swimming -the sole sport of importance that the Academy has lacked in pre- vious years. The progress made during this first year as a school sport foreshadows great things for the future of swimming at Culver. This year it has been handicapped by a number of unprecedented adverse conditions: particularly the measles pestilence, and the lack of fuel, country wide, which frequently necessitated the closing of the pool entirely. But the men in the corps have responded with great enthusiasm and in large numbers to the attempt which the school has made to introduce and to encourage swimming as a company and varsity sport. The Tennis Team GIGNILLIAT I . . ,. . . . V . . Captain DENTON . . . . . . . . Manager GIBSON, K. bflULLIKEN NEWCOMB RUPERT HOWELL Tennis I UNKNOWN A few years ago, tennis has risen in prominence and in popularity here until it ranks officially as second of the minor sports and with many in the corps it stands first. Forced tO contend with two strong rivals in baseball and outdoor track, tennis has neverthe- less held its own this year as before. The constant trouble i. e. lack of practice, has been fairly Well removed this spring by the re-arrange- ment of the track and basketball schedule to permit the many who are in these to take part also in tennis. Q The practice and matched contests are played on the clay courts on the north shore of the lake just behind the open air theater. A careful process of rolling and refinishing the courts has put them in excellent condition ancl the games are uniformly well played. The high schools of South Bend and Chicago and occasionally a hall or fraternity team from one of the nearby colleges are brought here with a trip to one of these same opponent schools-the almost regulation incentive -as the climax of the season. INTER- COMPANY C OPIPETITION PAGE 237 Inter-Company Competition ONE OF the distinctive features of Culver is the inter-company com- petition which exists between the several companies and the band. This rivalry finds expression in every variety of the work, especially the military and the athletic. The former is dealt with elsewhere. This summary of the inter-company competitive records will have to do only with the athletic. ' y As for the varsity squads, there are three major sports for the company teams-football, basketball and baseball-although track, heretofore, and recently a new game here, indoor baseball, have attracted more attention than in former years. B company coachec. by Lt. Foster and displaying spirit and ability superior to thoseof any rivals, won five consecutive games in the inter-company footoall championship season. Their total of points scored, one huncred and fifteen, is greater than any similar total in any other year and they set a second record in going through the entire schedule without their being scored on, much less defeated. F which finished as runners-up had its usually strong eleven. The only other distinguishing mark of the '17 football season was the record of E company which exactly reversed B's season and went through its schedule without scoring a single point. I ' ln basketball the season established a record for interest and enthu- siasm that has never been approached. in This was in great part on account of the equality of the teams. The marked disparity in strength between two of the companies and all the others in football was not found in basketball. Each company workedwith a two-fold ob ject-to win the championship itself and to prevent B' from repeat- its triumph of football. The schedule was divided by the athletic director into two parts, the first being made up of all games played prior to the Christmas holidays, the second composed of those played after the vacation. The competition was decided on the composite record of the two schedules. The band, F., A., C. and B. were about on a par before the furlough, with the band having as light advantage. Varsity took a heavy toll from each team however, and the band was particularly hard hit. The musicians soon dropped behind and F. Dv. c0 ESONE INTER if , Ava MPANY and B. were left to Hght it out. ln the deciding game B won easily by their superiority and team play and in speed. Baseball is well under way as the annual goes to press but it is impos- sible to delay it until even a reliable prophecy can be made. Thus far A, B and F have won two games apiece, but the defeated companies are not entirely out of the running. B is forecasting a championship in this the third sport-an achievement that has never been possible for any one company. The remainder of the battalion declares against the monopoly. The result is in doubt but B's success has instilled throughout the battalion a spirit of competition that is unprecedented. The so-called minor sports-track, swimming, rifle work, etc., were also more widely followed by the companies as well as the varsity teams. The academy's wonderful pool developed great talent among the swimmers and both school and individual companies were well represented in this new athletic activity. Mention of the athletic day competition is almost compulsory for it is here that the real 'icompany against company competition is fostered and developed. In addition to the orthodox forms of athletics-baseball, basketball, football, track and swimming+there are devised a number of field and gymnasium events in which large numbers can take part at the same time. Among such events are the army relay, the medicine ball relay, volley ball and others of a light nature. The interest in these games is sustained partly because of theinherent desire towin but more especially because of the fact thatthey wget points for the company . Athletic managers are elected or chosen from each of the companies and the skill of the managers in arranging the athletic day sheets is responible to a great extent for the companys success. ' Such has been the inter4company competition of the year l9l7-l8. By way of conclusion it may be well to summarize briefly this past term and to venture a forecast for the next year. From an unknown quantity the inter-company spirit in athletics has grown to be almost a dominant feature of the school's life. Men in the various companies to whom military and academic awards make no appeal will come out and work devotedly to help their company win the banner to be P E carried by the one Whose total of points for two succeeding athletic days is the highest. The demand on the department of athletics has become, almost too great. Every academy officer not oflicially engaged elsewhere participates in athletic day as referee or umpire. It is remarkable to observe how every individual in the academy is playing, not Watching, the game, faculty as Well' as cadets. With the Academy's enrollment steadily increasing and the inter-company rivalry keeping pace with it, it is safe to predict that the years to come willdwarf even this the keenest and best year thus far for inter- company competition. , J E , Q PAGE 242 Q The Champions The only company team that has ever passed through a season Without once being scored upon.

This may quite naturally be attributed to the total lack of. spectacularity in rifle team competition, active interestin which is probably confined to the men shooting only. Nevertheless, like-in major sports, perfection is gained only after constant practicef lt is due to this that this yearf-s team, -,ably coached by Capt. Robinson, has become one of the best the school has .ever had. ln April consent was gained from the Trustees to take a trip to Chicago, where the team competed against the brilliant aggregation of Chicago University, with the result of a close victory for Culver. The score was972 to 968. I In the weekly competition of the National Rifle Association of Washington, D. C., and in which almost all the schools and colleges in the country take part, the Culver team has made a good showing, and, to the present date, has placed, sometimes second, sometimes third, among the military schools of the country by scores averaging about 950 out of a possible 1000.

Instructor THE GLEE CLUB, began Aa successful year with unlimited material, there being some Hfty men at the original tryout. By a series of eliminations this number has been sifted down to fifteen men with exceptionally good voices. Soon the club was organized, and Lewis elected president. One of the big features of their work this year has been the singing at Saturday night entertainments. This has established a precedent which will probably become a custom. Also numerous solos have been given at various times by members of the club, and the excellent quartette. These activities have helped the club lend itself more to the school life than ever before. To Mr. Donath must be given a great deal of credit for his untiring efforts in the developing of individual talent, and also the corps must voice its appreciation for the very fine Friday afternoon concerts he has given. ' Eiiiiiwiri it H ,,', l-i. i f gn 55 ii Wi ' V The Quartette GE The Grchestra THE ORCHESTRA has always been regarded prior to this year rather apologetically, more or less as a goo is a cadet organization. , and otherwise as inferior to professional h h musicians. When Captain O'Callaghan came, he broug t to t e orchestra that same gift for conducting and that same musical genius that made his work with the band so markedly successful. Very few in the school realized the terrific handicaps under which the cadets of the orchestra have to work. Their greatest difficulty, first of all, is in the fundamental but essential matter of securing sufficient practice. Every moment of the day being occupied, recreation and Call to Quarters at night are the only available occasions. To sacri- fice this time for the pleasure of others and the name of the school is a real tribute to the caliber of the men who make up the orchestra. d orchestra, ' considering that it The work of the year has consisted in the usual programs given at the presentation of the dramatic classes' plays and also, as an innova- tion, a number of chapel concerts at regular intervals. Realizing that a program to appeal to everyone is out of the question, the director has included in the list of pieces throughout the year an equal number of the more sober classical selections for the faculty's tastes and a generous amount of the ever-popular rag and jazz numbers for the cadets: The applause at every concert has been sufficient and eloquent testimony of the approval with which this planwhas met.

The orchestra is in demand at Thanksgiving, Easter, in june, at the chapel, concerts. and for various other times when music of a more highbrow nature is desired.. But the Saturday night, movie , raggy , and supremely popular concertists are the members of the jazz band. ' ' ' l Two years ago there was no such thing as a cadet Hragn orchestra, and the very idea was laughed down when suggested. Partly out of mere kidding , partly out of a wish to exhibit some genuine talent, a group got together last Fall and practised faithfully in what time they could find, and one Saturday night the jazz orchestra, as it is popularly known, sprang into being and into popularity simultaneous- ly and deservedly. A piano, a drum, two saxophones, a xylophone, two violins, and a banjo, make up the Hbandw. Rather a hetero- genious collection of instruments, but with their extreme tempo and lively execution they are the hit of the weekly shows, and -the whole battalion feels indebted to the men for their constant ,effort to liven things up and keep Culver right on a par with the city practices musically. Encores are given as freely as called for. Saturday nights, Sunday nights at the Y. lvl., C. -A. and on other occasions for which their services may be requested, the jazz band cheerfully comes, plays, and conquers. This spirit of willingness together with their ability has made them irresistible and everybody wishes them the best of luck for next year and the years to come. I Piano . Violins .

Two men who-had shown particular aptitudein this line of work were chosen, both of whom have since gained enviable positions in the Editorial and Literary world. j. S. Fleet, the first Editor, is now the head of the Fleet.School in North Carolina, and Larry Bowman, the first Manager, shortly after leaving Culver did considerable writing for lVIcClure7s and other prominent magazines of the time.. At this tirfae in the Vedettes career it was published in magazine form, there being some six issues a year, a short time after, this number was increased to eight. During this period, a great deal of stress was laid upon the literary end of the paper, there being very few news items, also, almost all the stories were written by the staff, composed of from two to four men. It would be wrong to form the opinion that the Vedette, while in this magazine form, contained nothing but literary efforts in the form of short stories, and so forth, because there was included in its columns a great deal of poetry, and a section which was in many ways a combination of the present day 'Barrack Room Chatter , and the Column of Squads . PAGE 272 f 1 SH. . ...-.-...-....,.,-.. r i S 1 1 ' The paper continued to appear 'in this manner until 1912, at which time it was decided to publish it in the form of a weekly paper. The opinion on which this change was based, was that as a school paper it should be more of a catalogue of events than the efforts of only a few literary aspirants. The change has proven itself a very good one, because the Vedette as it is today is certainly a greater factor in school life than it was as a monthly magazine. 1-lowever, the faculty and cadets, realizing the necessity of an outlet for literary endeavor, have established what is known as the Literary Editionn of the Vedette, which appears periodically in magazine form. it is interesting to note the number of men who have achieved success in literary fields who began their careers as writers and editors of the Vedette: Ted Patchin, the 'editor in 1902, is now Business Manager of the magazine 1-Xsiaw. j.

Marcus Goodman, prob- ably the greatest genius the Vedette has produced, when at the University of lllinois was Editor of the Illinois Magazine. john lVIclVleely, who was Sport Editor of the Vedette in 1900, is now editor and principal owner of the Evansville journal News. 'These are but a few of the prominent figures the Vedette has produced, yet they are amazingly typical of the class of men who have guidedits destinies. The L'Column , as it is known today, has had a rather interesting development. Some 'years ago L. R. Bullene handed in, asa weekly theme in English, various jokes, poems, etc., and headed them Through the Green lvlegaphonenf Realizing the possibility of some very clever writing, Capt. l-lunt incorporated this column into the Vedette, and Bullene was given charge of it. When he left, the column struggled along until Bowers got hold of .it last year. With his knowledge of English and his sense of humor, he has made it com- parable with the Columns of some of the leading newspapers. This year the quality of the style and composition of the Vedette is undoubtedly better than it ever was before. lt has been enlarged in size and scope. lt is published by a large staff, chosen on account of their untiring efforts and their particular ability, under the direction and supervision of the two men who are undoubtedly the most capable in school: Capt. l-lunt and Lieut. Young. The Vedette is now publishing some 1800 copies a week, the largest number ever published in its history, and some 800 copies are sent every week to men in the service. At Easter, largely through Bowers' efforts a yellow number of the V edette, called the Vedetletten was produced by a special staff, and copies distributed among the visitors during the intermission in the dance The Vedetlette 15 one of the eleverest publ1eat10ns vet lssued at Culver and ICS w1t wlll remam long m the memorx of those who lead If PAGE 2 SIM' iw gl Bw T 1. 7, V .N 1 1 L' Envoi FOURTEEN YEARS ago was published the first ROLL CALL. Since then the book has appeared each year with few lapses. ln that time prob- ably no annual has experienced such handicaps as has this. Destined to come in a period fatal to all but the hardiest printing enterprise, following one of the most successful year books' thus far published, lacking the chance to record such an epochal event as the Washington trip of last Spring, with only the usual modicum of assistance from the school, and directed by a staff of only two persons, the 1918 ROLL CALL has encountered very genuine difficulties. That it has achieved complete success we do not venture to sayq Vv'e do declare, however, very sincerely thatno staff has ever tried more faithfully and more diligently. . . To record and to mirror the varied life of Culveriis the prime purpose of the ROLL CALL. This it has sought to do by insisting upon the development of ten distinct features, viz., pictures, personality, size, scope, interest, individuals, hold, humor, variety and value. The courtesy of Lieutenant Young made available al column in the- Ve- Cette, in which, for a number of weeks, an effort was made to explain just what ismeant by each feature , No explanation is necessary in this, the book itself. These weekly announcements formed part of what has been, perhaps, the most elaborate advertising campaign in the interests of the annual that has ever been conducted. The con- stant appeal has called for exceptional work by the corps in supporting the book because the book would be exceptional. lt was repeated that the annual required great aid because it was to be a great annual. And now the heralded 1918 ROLL CALL is before you for inspection. The Editors offer no apologies nor excuses. Actuated by some slight desire to make good and more by the wish to make the Class of '18 a memorable one through their production as a class-the annual of their year-the staff has done everything within its power. The work has ever been justified by the purpose-to produce for the class and for the Culver of 1918 the finest annual in the history of the Academy. Whether or not this aim has been realized, you alone can judge. Throughout the book, the Editors have done what Culver deserves -their best. .

Tommy Thompson handled the presidency of the l-lop Club well in arranging the multitude of details incidental to the dances, given at Thanks- giving, Easter and Commencement. All were well attended. The Thanksgiving dance was unusually crowded because of the football teams championship game. ln addition to the dances which constitute the social season proper there were numerous other Hdoingsn. The most prominent were the dinners at different times during the year. Bs two football banquets the Glee Clubs' dinner, the Vedettes staff banquet tendered to Lieut. Young and the football and basketball teams' spreads made up a lively year. 'Hue Hop Club G E if 3 if-if There were a number of impromptu affairs-dances, small dinners, etc., given during the winter and spring term. lvlany of these are un- recorded. An extempore, private dance was frequently arranged at Miss Ketchamis, the jungle and the Palmer lf-louse. Those fortunate enough to command the presence of girls over the routine Week ends lent a certain quasi-formal aspect to the Saturday night dances after the movies and these hops were more frequent and more enjoyed by the many who stayed for them than in previous years. . The ladies and gentlemen of the faculty, not to be outdone, were more active socially, in appearance at least, than in any other year, and faculty parties, birthday celebrations, receptions and similar' gath- erings Werevery numerous. This was in great measure because of the Red Cross activities in which so many of the Academy officers and their families took part. ' The Winter course of entertainments, the Friday night Hshowsu, While in reality more to be considered as a part ,of the theatrical section, on many occasions had the nature of social events by reason of the extremely high grade of the entertainments and the very unusual field from which they were chosen. While the attendance, at these several recitals, readings, concerts, lectures and other events was seldom as large as they warranted, the entertainment schedule was a remarkably Well balanced and attractive one, and the entertain- ment committee ofthe faculty, of which Captain Mowbray is chair- man, Whose duty it is to provide these programs, are to be thanked for their careful and effective selections.

Miss Wilson, Vivian and Wolfe succeeded well in putting over the thrilling climax. At Bastertime the medium was the unique comedey of Anatole France called 'The Man Who Nlarried a Dumlo Wife , one of the most artistic productions that has ever graced the Culver stage. The quaint and ridiculous conceit of the plot was fput across in delightfully spirited style and the unique Granville Barker staging-a decided novelty at Culver--added much to the effectiveness of the performance. 'The fanciful procession across the stage was composed of Miss Wilson and Bololoy Crandall, Thompson, E., Kinnear, Howe, Craver, Cross, W., Breckenridge and Hill. Captain Crawley took the leading role as Master Botal. Denloy and Howell were typical jolos friends, while Bowers, Vivian and Strouvelle starred as the doctors with their lolood- thirsty assistants.

FROM REVEILLE to taps, there is always something going on, here on our local stage. No person could hope to dramatize all that happens. lf we had Shakespeare, W'., on the RULL CALL staff, he'd be stumped to do it. No place in the world so fittingly illustrates that Wise Willie himself said anent all the worlds being stagey. Were all actors-ham actors, bad actors-all kinds of actors, but certainly actors. lt's hard to tell what name to give to the Cadet Comedy. HA Comedy of Errors --- A Vifinters Tale --nothing seems to con- tain the right note of familiarity and yet be passingly, plausibly the- atrical. By chance ye eds 'hit upon the title here used -- Tl-IE CAR- RISQN REVUEH Our most impressive and important ceremony is a Garrison Revue. That is thus because it entails the passing before the spectators of the entire post---everybody except Charley and Bill Riggens attends a Garrison Revue. Similarly, lvlr. Ziegfelds justly famous, or infamous, spectacles are called revues because they try to do the same thing on the stage. That, gentle -- or tough-reader, is the whence for the title. The curtain is not yet up, but-, l9l74l9l8 is over, with all its joys, sorrows, pleasures, pain, reveille, taps, recreation, music, mirth and melody, comedy, tragedy, gold stars and study hall, gold lozenges and E.

While it is primarily an office building, its exquisite architecture 'will make it a thing of extreme beauty, and its erection on the site of the present Open Air. Theater will add to the campus just the right touch of indivicltialifty-for the two types of architetcure will blend pleasingly. To facilitate explanation, a ground plan of the hrstnfloor is also shown. Entering through the main doors, one is at once struck by the impos- ing magnificence of the central reception hall, with its beautiful white marble grand staircaseand the pure white marble Hoor, covered in part by heavy deep-red Lackethouse 'carpets of supreme luxury. Un the left is a small information desk Clj of lndian ebony, and close by a bench C25 for ordcrlies. ln the center of the hall a huge reading table CBD of solid ebony is surrounded by deep-red plush arm chairs i Q -QM 11. i I .I ly 2,3 MQ l Wwe' chef' ,, 7 ---1- ?

Smalltete-a-tete reading chairs C lol are under high lamps with ebony stands and deep-red silk shades. Cn either, side of the hall C155 may be seen two writing desks. , . The highest touch of refinement is given by the two picturesque fountains C SD, on either side of the grand staircase. Behind one is the cloak room Cbjr,.and an orderly room C75 is in rear of the other. The high white modelled ceiling gives the finishing touch to the per- fection of this palatial reception hall. I , ' I The left wing is devoted to the business department, while the right is occupied by the editorial staff, - J To reach the office of the business manager, one goes through the 'double doors under t.he main staircase to the right, thence into as smaller reading room tastefully finished in deep blue and oak. The walls are panelled half-way up, and the rest is covered with blue silk reaching to the delicately carved ceiling. Beyond the reading room is an office of equal size, occupied by the assistant business manager. - As one enters the private office of the business manager, one is at once awed by the splendor and quiet wealth of the furnishings. To a, we-Q EE EQ? th ri ht is 3 highly carved green marble fire place GOD, in front of C 3 this a dark green leather settee. Behind the settee stands a heavy table Cllj of dull American walnut, surrounded by several massive rm chairs covered with dark green leather. In the corner stands a the business managers desk made of American walnut. Like the reading room, the walls are panelled half way up in American walnut, and from there on covered with dark-green silk. To one side of this office is the accounting, filing, clerical office. The eight stenographers7 desks CIZDA may be seen near the window, while in the rear are the bookkeepers' desk Cl3j, and the files C 145. The arrangement of the opposite wing is similar, except for a slight difference in the furnishing. The reading room is furnished in oak and brown, while the editorls office is equipped with mahogany furniture. I A' g On the second floor, reached by means of the main staircase and the two elevators, one each in the two reading rooms, are the minor offices. The third floor contains a photographic gallery and an atelier. A I Thus the Roll Call building will be the most sumptuous private office building in the world, while its beauty surpasses that of many a private house. , fx X l X ll ' - if f - 0 fi f-an Y ,i-5 i iY V il Q' E BAVENPORT Goes A- RlDlNG fb-A G ., in I .2 -4a k 1,1-'ff if ff' Z?

Selections BY REQUEST, the following have been selected out of numerous bits of, poetry-of a certain type-which have appeared in the Vedette: The Flags of Culver ' QA Paraphrasej I saw the flags of Culver Against the wintry sky, Tl? service flagsof Culver, Proclaiming from on high That Culver men, like'Culver men, I-lave gone abroad to die. The years seem slow at Culver, We long to be away, . There is no tie save careless lads Who share our drills and play, And those of Culver of the past Are scarce in mind today. They left our ways and places And went as men must go, And only we that stay behind- Ah, we alone can know What means the stars upon those flags, Whipped by the winds that blow. Good luck and Cwod be with you, And if within His ken ' , Should come the flags, then will He know What are you Culver men To us who pray to furl your flags When you return again! Not Much! , i I WISH ---- we spoke and thought as they did--in Arthur's day.-A Recent -Speaker. Now in the days of old, as we've been told, When barons held their swayg A The fold would jokefor fun they'd poke, , Gr cry and croak, but they always spoke ln just about this way: What ho! i'Ods Bodkinsf' l-lold thee, knaveg' - I-last made thee thy ablutions? ' Alack and ORue! Come wrack and Cro to! Cjust imagine such circumlocutionslj 5 J But a beautiful chance would the tongue of romance Stand in this present picturesque day, Try to think if you can of a modern young man ' -As jim Borland-attempting to say: 'Cadzooks there, my roomie, what would'st thou do to me- Know'st thou not there is grime 'neath thy couch? l pray thee, essay thee to help take away the ' Said grime ere l 'velpp a grouch! Ch, Boy!-You'd see more land on top of jim Borland Than ever in football did pile, With fervor and fury, Red Fulk and joe Drury Would certainly punish that style.

The bright shining, fair cadet saber, Fashioned of steel, and whatever the rest of me W. Am I' for those who all think themselves best to be?

Through years of specialization, our organization has be- come unusually expert in half-tones, color plates, zinc etchings, and designs for college and school publications. We have the very best shop equipment and every fa- cility for prompt pro- duction of quality Work. The famous Levy Acid Blast process gives our half-tones a cleaner, deeper, sharper etching than the tub 'method most commonly used, and makes it easier for your printer to give you a first class job. The Second is Stafford Co-operation. For the benefit of our customers in their dealing with us, We have prepared a val- uable handbook entitled Engraving for College and School Publica- tions,'7 containing 164 pages and over 300 illus- trations, and givin g complete information in regard to planning your publication, the prepara- tion of copy, and order- ing of engravings. This book simplifies ordering, prevents costly mistakes, and means high quality engravings at .lowest cost.
