ik II Q 3 The hope to win, the zeal to dare, Contempt for what is base and mean; Pride in achievement that is fair. And high regard for what is clean; The strength that is in brotherhood. The courage that proclaims success; The will to strive for what is good. And, first and always, manliness. S. E. KiSER •Vuhliihed hy the SENIOR CLASS CULVER MILITARY ACADEMY DEDICATION UR fathers have given us our name, our home, and all we hold dear. That we might play, they have toiled. That we might live, they have sacrificed the pleasures of life. Therefore, we dedi- cate this book to them — our fathers and our pals. To Our Fathers Let long, hard years of toil rest as they may On his strong shoulders, our best pal and friend. Our dad. The eye which on us he doth bend E ' er hunts for some virtue we might display; E ' en like a child he hopes for that great day When we, his hope for life, can firmly stand By him who gave us all at his command That we become a man in every way. .■ s long as he clings to this sphere of strife. Since we are blessed by all things he gave us, Our health, our love, our all in all, our life. We will his joy keep ever as our trust. Let us so live when all his work is done, He lea es life ' s greatest crown, a worthy son. J. P. B., ' 23. ™=ft?N ,j i  - S«i -JSi! , m HE happiest days in our lives are our school days. And that the memory of such care-free times may ever l l live, we have published this book. Here we have writ- ten of our classmates, of friends from whom we must be torn. Here, in years to come, you will find the familiar faces, the half-forgotten deeds, and the rollicking pranks of your Culver days. If this book becomes as cherished as the memories that it invokes, then we feel that we have not labored in vain. 3n |¥lemoriam Cadet WILLIAM WALTON BUSH Born, August, 1904 Died, October 23, 1922 From Effects of Pneumonia Cadet SOLOMON GOLDMAN Died, April 28, 1023 Thou dreadful phantom death, who for your prize, Did snatch the most beautiful life of lives, A comrade in whose youthful veins did flow The rich, red blood of youth, ever aglow With the fullness of life and the desire To achieve. Now is smoulder ' d this fire. But let us not forget the flame once bright, A beacon pointing us to goodness and the right. Oh, comrade, you left us stranded here On earth. But yet we hope soon to be near For eternity is a day in God ' s reign. And shortly we will be together again. A. W. B. ' 23 Since you wanted me to show you the campus, Betty, I can think of no better time for starting than now, nor of a better place than the Logansport Gate. For the Gate has been the starting place of all our Culver careers ; it has seen us enter as green and simple plebes, and has seen us go out with that look of self-satisfaction that is on the face when the sheepskin is under the arm. If you care to, we will go thru the gate, and down the .... .... Company Street. Here it is that the regiment forms for the parades that are, as states the catalogue, a source of much interest to the visitor and much joy and pride to the cadets. Here is our main street. Yes, the main drag is a very good name indeed for it, Betty. But come, let ' s step over to see the .... - I I 111 . . . . Mess Hall. Here it is that the hungry horde has its ravaging appetite satis- fied. Incidentally, the roof is the largest single span in the country, having no pillars nor supports to obstruct the passage of the hustling white-coated waiters. If you aren ' t like all girls, always thinking of dancing! But I heartily agree with you; it would be a wonderful place to give a dance. But note the ivy on the walls. Reminds one of the castles in Ivanhoe, doesn ' t it? Let ' s walk thru the Sally-port, stroll along the track, and look back at ... . iiM sa iiiii ' i iiiTiiii . . . . the impressive array of buildings. Before them, like a great green carpet, stretches the parade field. From the company street, the regiment marches to this oval for the parades. It is a beautiful sight to watch the corps pass in brilliant array. Every button glistens in the last rays of the setting sun. The immaculate white trousers move with mathematical precision; the long lines of rifles, and shining blades make an impression not soon forgotten. i Way out there are the athletic fields, where many a Culver victory is won, each as glorious as the one that you saw this afternoon. Farther away still is the new golf course. Why, of course we can play a game in the morning. And from the top of the hills, I ' ll show you the beauty of the campus. When the day is cloudy, and a morning fog envelops the school, one can fancy that the glimpses of the towers are the turrets of the proverbial castles in the air. But come, we have been here long enough. I have yet to show you .... . ... In my mind, Lake Maxinkuckee is one of the most beautiful bodies of water in America. The lake sparkles like a diamond in the sunlight; the green-covered hills that slope to meet it make a most unique setting for a most unusually attract- ive natural gem. But it is in the moonlight that Ma.xinkuckee is radiantly mag- nificent. The silvery rays of the new moon are reflected on the ebony-like surface of the water. Now a fish jumps, and the tranquility of the reflection is disturbed, and tiny ripples attempt to cast off the burden of moonlight. We ' ll come down here tonight, after the casino, Betty, and revel in the beauty of the Maxinkuckee moon. From here, Betty, one may obtain an excellent view of the flag pole. Over to the left, in the clump of bushes, is the saluting piece. Every day the cannon booms a merry good-morning , and every evening it attacks the fast retreating daylight with a cannonade. It will soon be time for retreat. You thought Culver cadets never retreat? That ' s a different sense of the word, dear. Retreat is the ceremony of lowering the flag. . nd when the last strain of the Star-Spangled Banner has echoed from ivy-covered wall to wall, one feels proud, intensely proud, of having the honor to serve such a country, and such a flag. ] ■ The Board of Trustees Mrs. E.

HEXRY HARRISON CULVER, founder of the Culver Military Academy, was born at London, Madison County, Ohio, August 9, 1840. Being born of poor parents, he was forced to make his own way in the world at the age of fifteen. By the time he had reached the age of forty he had acquired a considerable fortune. However, he was more than an acute business man. He was an idealist and a philanthropist, and desirous of helping young men who were under difficulties. In 1881, following a slight stroke of paralysis, he retired from active business. In 1893, after two years of travel in the Southwest, he bought some three hundred acres on Lake Maxinkuckee and made his residence there. He died on September 26, 1897, after devoting practically his whole life to the purpose of leading young men on the road to success. [,8] [,9] Military Brigadier General L. R.

Henry Harrison Culver, the founder of this school, belongs to this latter class. Mr. Culver was born in London, Ohio, on August 9, 1840. Denied much in his earlier life, through his unceasing energy and untiring efforts he became wealthy in his later days. When he had reached the top rung of his ladder, his generous nature asserted itself, and now that he was in a position to help others, he looked about for a way in which he might assist the youth of America in their climb to success. While debating the question of how he would carry out his project, ] Ir. Culver happened to spend his vacation at Lake Maxinkuckee. Here the grandeur of the sylvan hills and the azure beauty of the game-stocked lake appealed to him, and here, he decided, would be the site of his gift to the world; for on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee he would build a school for boysl In the summer of 1894 Mr. Culver ' s idea took definite shape when eighteen Cin- cinnati boys formed the first student body. That September the first winter session opened with a total attendance of twenty-five cadets, Dr. J. H. lacKenzie being the first superintendent. The school was housed in a group of frame buildings which formerly composed the Maxinkuckee Chautauqua. In February of 1895 a fire destroyed the wood structure, which was the main building. But Culver arose from her ashes, as did the Phoenix of old, and plans were immediately made for the con- struction of a large fireproof building. The next May saw the laying of the cornerstone of the new building. This build- ing was main barracks proper, and the first of a long line of thoroughly modern, fire- proof barracks. The next fall the school started with an enrollment of thirty-two cadets. In 1896 the Missouri Military Academy was destroyed by fire. I Ir. Culver invited the superintendent, Col. A. F. Fleet, to unite the two schools. This offer was accepted, and Colonel Fleet brought his cadet corps here, and took charge of the school. In 1897, Mr. Culver, the founder of the institution, died. Culver men all over the United States mourned the death of the man who had given to them their Alma JNIater. During this same year a young graduate of the Virginia Military Institute came here as commandant of cadets. This young man, teeming with the energy and ambition of youth, was Major L. R. Gignilliat. if Pif Within the first fif- tt s teen years the enroll- |[ pK ment grew to over j! i three hundred and 0 S fiftv. This large stu- -Ij fflEr dent bodv was made |  s possible by the erec- w. tion of east, west, and south barracks, and bv jg-lF .. -J adding anothei floor to ■nu main barracks. The Hvl faculty was greatlv in- IHH creased and improved — it was literallv a gateway to knowledge. [24] with Colonels Glascock and Greiner as the keystone. Dur- ing this span of fifteen years, the carpenter shop, arsenal, gymnasium and the old riding hall were erected. In 1905, Culver won the gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Expo- sition, and in 1906, Culver was for the first time desig- nated as an Honor School by the War Department. This year was the one in which the famous Black Horse Troop DinicMii.N hf loganspokt Gau was purchased and developed. In 1909, one of the most prominent landscape gardeners in America, aided by a tremendous budget, began the improvement of the grounds, which resulted in Culver ' s having one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States. Then the trustees decided on a Greater Culver program. In accordance with this policy, the mess hall, open air barracks, the new riding hall, the swimming pool and the administration buildings were built. In 1911, Culver suffered her second great loss when Colonel Fleet, the superin- tendent, died. Colonel Fleet was a man of great ability and was dearly beloved by the corps. Major Gignilliat became superintendent then, and today occupies that same important position. In 1914, ninety Culver cadets assisted in the saving of one thousand people during the Logansport flood. The generous townspeople of this young city showed their appreciation of this deed by presenting to the academy The Logansport Gate. At the presidential inaugurations in 1913 and 1914, the Black Horse Troop, the personal escort of Vice-President Marshall, established firmly its enviable reputation. Then came the world war. Culver men — alumni, faculty and cadets — flocked to the colors. Thirteen hundred alumni and students, together with half a hundred of the faculty, participated in the gigantic struggle. Culver ' s service flag, with its fifty- five gold stars, is a mute testimony to the fact that this school teaches men to live and die for their country. With the signing of the armistice came the return of General (then Colonel) Gig- nilliat and other officers on whom the institution greatly depended. A new era of activity ensued. Two new barracks were built — Chateau-Thierry and Argonne. Con- struction was started on the Memorial Library. The old battalion gave way to the regiment. The Black Horse Troop and the Culver Battery were organized as sepa- rate units. Culver, ever in the vanguard, established an aviation school. The Culver Legion, always guarding the interests of the cadets, founded the Cadet Club of the Culver Legion from the remains of the old Service Club. In 1921, the school was honored by the visit of General Payot. On December 9 of the same year, Colonel L. R. Gignilliat was promoted to the rank of brigadier- general. This was a fitting recognition of the superintendent ' s great work in the training and education of boys. In 1922, this school was visited by General Pershing. The corps put up an excel- lent appearance, and our distinguished guest was very favorably impressed. In December of this year, the recreation building was totally destroyed by fire. This building was the scene of the commencement exercises in former years, and once had been the riding hall and home of the Black Horse Troop. Old Culver men all over the states were saddened at the destruction of a building which had once been the center of many happy events.

Once again another class reluctantly passes from the joyous era of Culver days. For the last time we look at the lofty towers, the shady campus, the sparkling lake. What a legion of memories each of them brings! How well we remember our first days here. When we first came, the towers inspired us with awe. Then we saw the old men, and knew what awe really was. But as our homesickness decreased, we began to look about and realized that we were going to like Culver. Anyway, we would certainly come back and be proud possessors of a service stripe. And maybe — nothing certain, you understand — maybe, we might be able to display that emblem of respect and authority, the chervons of a yearling corporal! We did come back. W e enjoyed the respect given us by the plebes. We exulted in the fact that we were becoming prominent, in the fact that a glorious stripe graced our sleeve. Then came our junior year. How important we felt at being addressed as next year ' s seniors. And we felt happy, too. But when commencement came, and our friends in the senior class left us, we felt sad, and manfully brushed back stray tears. And now we are seniors! The culmination of four years ' ambition is at hand. We feel that we have made good. We are proud of our class record, we are proud of our classmates. We are gone to the four corners of the earth, where we shall muse and dream of bygone days. First Class AlSIHORPE Evans, 11. KORN Reed, F. Albert Farland Kruse Reed, R. Allen Faure, R.

Illinois Dartmouth We don ' t know of anyone we would rather have as the first man in the Roll Call of ' 23. Bill Abbott has attained everything good at Culver, and his record is not marred by one bad incident. Bill has been with us four happy years; captained the best swimming team we have ever had, and also B Company, of which too much can not be said. He is the kind of man we will be proud to say we knew after cadet days have faded into the dim past. During his sojourn here he has showed us how a real man conducts himself, and been the inspiration of innumerable hopefuls. If the success attends you in after life that has been yours here, old man (and we are sure it will), we will hear from you in years to come. ! - Wr Miscellaneous — 19-20, Y. M. C.

The only fault we can find with him is that he didn ' t come here sooner. His first year here in varsity football he was out a good deal of the time with injuries, but last fall he showed his prowess by winning his Culver. ' Bill is always one of the mainstays of the D Com- pany teams. In basketball, baseball, and all the rest he shines equally well. His being elected captain of the basketball team last season shows his popu- larity and ability. Next year Bill is planning to go to Dartmouth, and we feel he will be Uked as well there as here, for his personality is irresistible. The best of luck, Albert ; may you always be blessed with success. iTHLETic— 21, Co. Bas- ketball, Co. Baseball, Co. Track; 21-22, Var- sity Football Squad, Co.

If ever you want a fellow with you who will make the best of anything, and see light where there is only the faintest gleam, take Allen. Sap, ' ' as he is affectionately called, has been here for four long years. We really think that he and the Logansport gate arrived about the same time ; but the gate will probably beat .- llen out on serv- ice. However, Allen ' s friends will remember him long after the gate is a ruin, for Allen makes friends that are of a more enduring quality than brick and mortar. May your happiness cause as much joy elsewhere as it has here ! -Athletics — 19-20, Co. Baseball, Co. Basket- ball: 20-21, Co. Bas- ketball, Co. Soccer, Co. Indoor, Co. Baseball: 21-22, Capt. Co.

When John plays football you would think that every wildcat from Rattlesnake county had been turned loose, for John plays like he works, with a burning desire to accomplish his aim. There will be great rejoicing in Arkansas when her favorite son returns, but we fear that Culver will greatly miss the cheery, smiling face of that prince of good fellows, John Andrews, Southerner. xx= [33] ARV — 19-20, Pvt Co.

JOHN DEAN ASKEW , MissotjRi Dartmouth — Scientific Four years ago, Kansas City sent a man to Culver, for whom great things were destined. Little did anyone then notice one of the two hundred plebes entering Culver, but the gods sat on high and chuckled in anticipatory glee. And now we all know why. That man was destined to be a leader here at school. He rose steadily until now, at graduation, Dean is among the most prominent in his class. As commander of a company he has no equal, and all his men respect and love him. Askew is also very popular, as is manifested by his holding, not only the position of captain of the ritle team, but also the position of vice-president of the Hop Club. Every one is sorry to see you leave, old man, and we all wish vou even greater things at Dartmouth. Miscellaneous — 19-20, v. M. C. A., S i I V e r A, Silver Lozenge, ■Culvers, Golf Club: 20-21, Y.

He ' s our supply lieutenant, and although he is con tinually encourag- ing business for the tailor shop, we like him just the same. In troop drill he is easily recognized by his shining new saddle and bridle. He experienced quite a lot of trouble breaking in the latter, due to its slippery surface. In spite of his heavily chevroned arm, he found time to conquer other fields. His work on the troop basketball team was most valuable, and the Vedette claims him as an associate editor of no mean talent.

His unofficial title is Jack Billy, Prince of Good Fellows. We know him unofiidally. Johnnie ' s plans for the future are somewhat hazy, but it is generally agreed that he and the editor of this book are going to start a construction company, The Busy B ' s. The article which will be constructed is a minor point and has not been decided. Ditches are being contemplated, some which resemble those so successfully dug by this same firm at Camp Knox last summer. You can look at his record and tell who Bays is. We want to tell you what he is. Repe- tition means emphasis. And we want to emphasize again and again that Johnnie is a Prince of Good Fellows. Battery. . THLETIC — 21-22, Co.

Ask anyone who has played against him in a foot- ball game if they had much fun, and they ' ll all say the same thing, No. Be Bout was content to remain on D ' ' Company teams until last fall, when he decided he wantecl his Culver in football, so he went out for varsity, worked hard, made the first team, and won his letter. As a popular fellow, there are none who are more so. As a man who always accomplishes that which he sets out to do, we cannot give him enough praise.

Park is the combination described. We don ' t know whether it is Park ' s winsome smile, his gleaming eyes, his curly hair, his poetical speech, or his soft voice that we most admire; but we do know that his friendship is one of the most valued and hallowed of our possessions.

These are some of the little things about Albert ; the big things can ' t be described, as the best things in life can not be described.

As manager of Culver ' s Wonder Team of ' 22, Bill showed his worth by being one of the best managers and hardest workers any team ever had. Bill turned out to be one of the finest defense men ever developed on a Culver hockey team. The fi.ght and spirit which characterized his entire career at Culver are sure to shine out in his work at col- lege and in business. Cheerful, kind and unselfish— that ' s Russ Bill.

He has been on the varsity football squad for two years, and has always been a lover of sports and the great out-of-doors. He is especially fond of the great out-of-doors, and belongs to several of the nature study clubs conducted by the cadets. But of all the things about Fran, we like his strong bond of friendship best.

Mr. Chandler made up his mind that Wichita, and especially the feminine element, would have to stagger along without Bill until he absorbed some military training and discipline at Culver. We cer- tainly are glad Bill came, for a better sport and truer friend could not be found. His chief delight was to jam his hands in his pockets and then have his talk out, on whatever subject was being dis- cussed, and Bill almost invariably won, too. He left us in February, being the first of the old E Company gang to graduate, and although he left a gap that was never quite filled up, still the thought that he was making a success at Centre helped to compensate us for his loss. .

JACK CECIL COLLINS South Haven, Michigan Southern California — English We will long remember Jackie Collins after we have received our sheepskin and marched through the iron gate. He is the original little joy dispenser, and gloom is utterly routed by his onslaughts of wit. Jackie wields a wicked gob-stick, and he was well known as a member of the famous Kelly on the Keys syncopated nine. He was also distin- guished as one of the snappiest little infielders in prep school baseball, and he is pointed out as being the only Culver varsity player of any sport who ever disputed Bob Peck ' s word. He is of a carefree, happy-go-lucky nature, and this combination plus Tommy Maiben made up one of the little pet peeves of the officers of the band. Nevertheless, all who know him are his friends, and it is with real regret that we part from him. Here ' s to the best o ' luck in the years to come, Jackie. .Miscellaneous — 20-21, .Asst.

Well, boys, when Old Father Time takes up his pen and writes the resume of Henry ' s life, may he use the forceful language and praises which our poor pen aspires to, but fails. Henry started life at Culver as a trifling, fun-loving plebe, whose sole aim in life was to work his way through the pile of brass which Old Men gave him to shine. In his yearling year he still retained his qualities of helping the other fellow, and due to his promotion to a ser- geancy was in a still better position to do it. Then last of all, and best of all, Henry got a lieutenancy. Now June has rolled around and old friends will be separated, but don ' t forget Henry, you will always have the most sincere good wishes and luck for the future that your Culver buddies can give you.

He hails from Reno, and the wild tales he tells of that place ! — but we don ' t believe all of them, so it doesn ' t make any difference anyway. He was also the star fullback on his company football team, one of the chief members of the A Company show, and was right at the top in every- thing.

It is needless to say that Bill, as he is commonly known, does not covet a soldier ' s life. However, we all agree that it will be impossible for him to make any more and still faithful friends at the University of Georgia than he will leave behind at C. M. A. William seems to trifie a lot with the E. D. squad, but we love him all the more for it, and wish him all the success at college that he has made for himself at Culver.

In football he was a terror and succeeded in making the much sought All-Company team. Anybody who ever played opposite to him can testify to his ability. His silver A and his silver lozenge prove that he did as well in academic work as he did in athletics. Cornell will be his future residence.

A year ago in September, Phil ' s father thought that his son should have that glorious military edu- cation, which now lies so dear in the memory of every first classman. And so the darling of E Company made his debut into the old school. We have been having such a darned good time with Phil that we never thought about leaving him. But, gentlemen, we have come to the time when our ways part. Our ways part, but tender memories never leave us. And so the memory of Phil will stay with all who knew him and that fascinating wav of his. IlSCEI-LANEOl-S 21-22, . varded Special Cul- vers for best Plebe in Co, E, Cross Rifles, Y. M. C.

This cadet came up through his yearling, two stripe and three stripe years in a blaze of glory, making count- less friends and an enviable record. Why, of course, this is none other than George Edel. The troop enjoyed a fine year under his careful and painstaking guidance. George applied his execu- tive ability to more than military life, and as third vice-president of the Cadet Club and secretary of the first class he served the entire corps to the best of his ability, and he has plenty of it.

Swi There never was a truer friend, a squarer man, a better sport, or a more thoroughbred gentleman than Paul Graves. In the three years that he has been with us, Paul has grown to be loved, admired, and respected by all with whom he has come in contact. His steadfast purpose and fine physique won him a place on the varsity boxing squad ; his true-blue character made him one of the most influential cadets in the Y. M. C. A. If we shed a tear or two when we go through the old iron gate, it will be because of the parting with just such fellows as Paul, true Culver gentle- men and pals. Good luck to you always, old man ! As an officer and a cadet his good will and pe rson- ality have left with us an indelible impression. .MiSCELL.ANEOUS — 20- Silver Lozenge, G 1 Club; 21-22, Vice-Pi of Yearling Comn sion.

And what makes closer friends than tracking the game to his lair, and then reclining in peace until he ven- tures forth? At such things Greenie is unexcelled. There was never a better fellow than Greenwood, either. He would give one his last cent, willingly, which, after all, is the true test of all virtue. He would go far from his course to help a friend, and consequently he has no enemies. One of the least of his worries is being stuck. For his lirst two years he was regarded as the father of the E. D. Squad. But blood will tell; his last two years he has walked not a step of the fatiguing punishment. Miscellaneous — 19-20, Y. M. C. A.: 20-21, Y, M. C. A.; 21-22, Y. M. C.

ROBERT FREDERICK GROFF Pennsylv.ani.-v Engli; Sir Pudney is one of the landmarks of the school. He was a shining light way back in the dark ages when some of the more lucky plebes roomed in the luxurious suites for which the Palmer House is justly famous. And all through his lengthy stay here, Groff has been admired and envied for being the best natured fellow on the campus. Last year when His Highness pulled down the mess sergeancy in the battery, we all bought meal tickets at the P. H. This year Groff was appointed as a lieutenant in his beloved battery, but, in spite of his new honors, is just as good natured as ever. Groff insisted that we omit his regal nickname in the Roll C. ll, but somehow or other, whenever we tried to write his first name, the magical Sir Pudney formed instead. ,|lSCtLL. NEOCS — 18-19, V.

This creed would be bound to attract attention in a military school. It has been said that he gained his promi- nence also by his high standing in the minds of the academic officers. During Cap ' s long sentence, he has held up the company in many com.bats. He has played at some season every sport but basketball. Cap plays an excellent game of bridge; he is something of a jour- nalist, as is shown by his organizing and helping to edit a company newspaper, The Poisoned Pen.

Of this latter fact we are quite proud. His success as a football player is the greatest. Every game of the past season was merely an oppor- tunity for him to show his own prowess and that of the team which he generaled so competently. Hoffman ' s whole career has been marked by intense company spirit. He is one of the mainstays of the organization, quick to defend it against out- side criticism, and quick to manifest his spirit on the athletic field. Then, too, there is something touching in his feeling for his roommate and constant companion, Red Maentz. This quality shows his deepness of character and his sincerity. .Athletic — 20-21, Co.

After enjoying himself for three years, he decided he wanted a commission, so now you see him as a popular lieutenant. Whenever D wanted the scholarship banner, they just told Jones, and so he opened a book for a change and got a few 95 ' s instead of oo ' s. What more could a person desire than this, along with a couple of medals for rifle work, always a gold or silver A, a discipUne lozenge, and a really won- derful personality. The fact that he was twice elected basketball manager shows what the fellows think of him. Good luck to you at the U. of C. next year, Jones; and may you have double the success you ' ve had here.

It is a pleasure to write up a man like Jake, During his four years at Culver, both as an officer and a private, he has probably made more friends than anyone in the troop. At camp last summer, Jake went into town one line day with a borrowed quarter, and came back at the wheel of a Buick. However, when it comes to absenting himself from drill, Jake is not so lucky. As an athlete Jake is a whiz. He was captain of the troop football team, and with a berth on the All-Company team, Jake deserves much credit. A boxer of note, and a baseball player of no mean ability, he presents all one could desire.

The fact that he is a hard worker is shown in his untiring and hitherto unsuccessful efforts at basket- ball this year; however, he won the crown of myrtle leaves in this favorite sport. He is the most notorious mail-hound in the school, always gloating over the results of his iifth C. P. mail hunt each day. This would show that we are not to be flattered by calling ourselves his only friends.

FRANCIS DELOS MILLER E v York D.artmouth — Scien: Fran Miller, that famous heart smasher and clubman, is one of the troop ' s best known and best liked members. Fran broke his leg in a football game this fall, and then broke several young ladies ' hearts this Easter by a ver y pathetic use of both eyes and crutches. Miller is the Grand Mogul De Lu.xe of some yacht club back home, and even professes a great liking for nautical organizations here. You can look at Fran ' s record and see what a variety of activities Hizzoner has engaged in. But you can look at the entire corps lined up and see all of Fran ' s friends at Culver, for there is no one here that does not love and admire Fran Miller. .Athletic — 19-20, Co. Basketball, Co.

He is an ideal friend, and only those who know him well have a real con- ception of his merits. He is one in a thousand, one of whom anyone should be glad to say friend.

But Charlie ' s dramatic ability is not the only thing for which he is noted. He was voted the most immaculate cadet in a recent popularity con- test. He is one of the most popular of troop officers, and has a reputation for being something of a heart smasher. Charlie has a wonderful personality, and he is sure to have great success in the future.

Check played center on Culver ' s greatest football team, and was a member of the basketball team that defeated Lake Forest. With such offices as president of the first class, which is the highest honor anyone can have; presi- dent of the Y. M. C. A. and first vice-president of the Cadet Club, it is very evident that he is highly qualified for responsible positions. With such a record, one can plainly see why we hate to lose him ; but his friendship is worth more than a hundred such records. Athletic — 19-20, Co. Basketball, Co. Base- ball, Co.

He has been only a week-ender, but in that time he has won an everlasting place in our hearts. In the first place, Pat is a good football player. His old Scotch blood rises in his veins, and he fights hard and clean. Thus he is in all his other sports as in football. Whenever anyone has important work to be done, it is given to Pat, because he will see it completed. He will keep after it.

Ryan emerges from Culver, we will admit, without any gold A ' s, but with an infinite number of friends, who would just as soon die for him as not; an office, and that thing which is precious to us all, a varsity sweater. He ' s worked against odds ever since we ' ve known him, and look at the success he ' s made. May the Lord grant that we may view him on the day when all obstacles and odds are swept away.

Wharton — U Frank is a person of varied talents, and it is hard to say what we should in this short space. His record at Culver has been one of distinction all the way through, from his plebe year, when he won the Gookin Memorial for being the most outstand- ing new cadet, until this year when he drew down the third heaviest pair of chevrons in school. We read his grades and marvel. Such things do not seem within the capabilities of the human mind — and for such a person to still have time to shoot on the varsity rifle team, indulge in company athletics, and warble for us in the Glee Club, seems really impossible.

Swede is one of the landmarks of the . lma Mater, and after having been with us so long he will doubtless feel very much alone in the world when he has gone through the Old Iron Gate. In athletics he has made a wonderful record, having participated and received letters in several varsity sports. As captain of G Company he was certainly a success, displaying at all times his qualities of lead- ership and his ability to understand others. The only time we will have unpleasant thoughts of him is when we remember his little habit of mopping up the hall with us poor guys when he was feeling slightly perturbed.

Tony came to us with the picture of a banana stand near the Union Depot in his mind ' s eye. He has proved his ability as a huckster on many an occasion, being especially prominent during a tight place in the course of a football or basketball game. Van Pelt has made good in every sense of the word during his sojourn here. He is an all-around excellent fellow, being outstandingly proficient at football, basketball and hockey, besides being some- what of a scholar. His other fine qualities are many, far too many, to enumerate here.

In addition to being one of the snappiest drum majors in the his- tory of Culver, Jack is an efficient sergeant and a good all-around fellow. He seems to be afflicted with more than the usual amount of nicknames. Indian and Charlie Young are the most common of the names by which he is known, each of which has a special significance.. Jack Uves in Open Air, and also takes a number of open air subjects. This combination is uplifting, for too much work and no play might make Jack a dull boy.

Crane Hoch [,86] I jS -V mwrnk um ' % - - % « ' ' vi ii Military ' 22- ' 23 YEAR in and year out, Culver maintains the same high standard in military drill that marks it with distinction in every other phase of activity. This is due to the spirit that exists in the corps in regard to its attitude toward things military. This in turn is due very largely to the excellent tactical staff and Colonel Lee, who is head of all things pertaining to the U. S. Army and R. O. T. C. Every year certain officers go to the different camps over the country and specialize in their particular field of work, so that they may keep abreast of the tide of military pro- gression. It is this spirit which makes Culver the much-vaunted school it is. Each fall all commissioned officers and first sergeants have to return for duty one week earlier than the rest of the corps, in order to whip the plebes into some kind of shape for the return of the older men. This year the plebes seemed unusually quick, and the commandant has found it unnecessary to maintain a very vigorous schedule of close order drill. As usual, during the winter months, the men have theoretical work because of the inclement weather and a;knowIedged imperativeness of theoretical work. From time to time, inspectors come and review the corps at their drills, both theoretical and otherwise, and their reports always agree unanimously — Culver is the best military preparatory school in the country. [ ' «-] During the past year Culver had the signal of honor of being host to the Fidac, a society of European men — veterans whose object is universal peace. They were in New Orleans attending the American Legion convention, and were invited to Culver by General Gignilliat. Another honor of which we were the recipient was a visit by Colonel Naylor, the G-2 of the general staff. He related to the corps the details of the battle of the INIarne and the conditions leading up to it. Probably as great an honor as has ever been the fortune of a Culver cadet body was bestowed upon us December 7, when Gen. John J. Pershing, Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army, visited the academy and reviewed the corps. On leaving, he expressed himself as being delighted with the appearance, attitude, and atmosphere of our school, and took with him the profoundest respect of every officer and cadet of Culver. Such an expression from such a man means but this: The year of 22-23 has been one of unalloyed success. The government inspection for this year is being made at the time this goes to press. While we have had no official reports on the military work, still there is every indication that an exceedingly favorable impression was made. Daily Calisthenics INFANTRY [,89] [,90] S in the history of every organization there is one year that stands in pre-eminence, so it is with the one of 1922-23 A Company annals. The ultimate success of a single military unit is due princi- pally to each individual; secondarily, to its leaders. Both of t-hese factors, however, were up to the standard de- sired; therefore, this company stood high in every branch of activity. This cannot merely be stated, but can be backed by convincing proofs. In football they were prominent, due to tying one of the school ' s strongest organizations near the close of the football season. In the scholarship lists, one sought A Company ' s name among the highest. This is paralleled by the discipline records, in which pride can well be placed. These things are due to fifty-two men, each directing his strongest efforts as one great tide towards the goal of accomplishment. It is true, however, the strongest forces are of little value when improperly con- ducted, but with her admirable leaders, found in the persons of Col. H. C. Bays and Senior Capt. F. C. Reed, there was no deficiency found on this end. All in all, this was the year paramount. [,s, ] [-=] l B Company Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy THE truest way to judge a company is on the same basis as the judgment of a man. First and para- mount is the opinion of the members of that com- pany; second, the opinion of its truest friends (members of B Company now in other companies), and third, the general public sentiment toward the company. B has these judgments all to the nth degree of praise and esteem. She turned out the finest of football teams last fall, a wonderful basketball team, and a fast track team. Fellows in B Company are sure they have the b;st tac in school in the person of Colonel Kennedy, a four-square man who sees that every one gets a fair deal, and watches his men as though they were his own children. The Duke is loved by all the members of the corps. Year in and year out, B stands at the top academically, as she continues to graduate some of the best members of the class. This year she is particularly hard hit in losing some of the leading men of the school, both in academics and athletics. Abbott, the captain, can be spoken of as highly as can Colonel Kennedy, and between them they have succeeded in making B Company the best company in the best prep school in America. [,94] C Company THIS is ' ' C Company, as necessary to the regiment as the Nile is to Egypt. Led by Phil, her redoubt- able captain, she has gained the outer works of success, and before the end of the year will be within the fortress itself. This year the company is in its prime. For the last four years C has been the runner-up in practically every sport, the winner in not a few. This year ' C has, as usual, covered herself and her sponsors with glory by winning two regimental championships. To be sure, we, like other companies, have not always had smooth sailing; but the e.xcellent and inimitable spirit of good fellowship facilitates, quite palpably, the overcoming of the natural obstacles which stand in the way of triumph. Old C, under the very capable leadership of her Tac Captain Barrett, and Captain Pfaffman, has added another successful year to its already long list of similar years. It is rather difficult to know just where to bestow the praise due, because of this accomplishment, so may it suffice to say that much credit is due to every member of the organization. Captain Barrett did not satisfy himself by simply benefiting his company, but has been of material benefit to all with whom he has come in contact. He has not, more- over, like Icarus, flown too near the sun. Pfaffman has not been, by any means, the smallest factor in C ' s success, and has, in fact, b ' his tireless efforts and undying devotion made himself directly respon- sible for some little part of the above mentioned results, which almost ec[ual perfection. [,95] ' m ' ..: -W % ' % u [,96] D Company IN these days of prohibition, ' tis dangerous to liken anything unto that obsolete beverage, whiskey. How- ever, even the dryest of the dry (who occasionally take a nip) will aver that whiskey gets better as it ages. And the same may be said about D Company. Twenty-eight years, in luck and out of luck, have developed and turned out a company well worthy and well fitted to represent Culver in every phase of cadet life. This year. Captain Baldwin proved himself to be, not only a good tac, but also a true friend and helper. He is loved and respected by every man in the corps, and the men in D believe him to be the best tactical officer in school. Askew picked up the task where Pat Carr left off, and has done admirably this year. Assisted by his cadet officers, he even raised the traditions left by Heidt and McCormick. This has been D ' s athletic year. She began by romping off with the football championship, and giving her opponents a stiff fight in soccer. Then came hockey, and again D put up a splendid battle for the championship of the first battalion. In basketball, our football triumph was repeated, so now we possess the two major championships of the year. Indoor and baseball are yet to be contested, but we are confident that D will be in a place of honor when the season ends. Captain Finger deserves unending credit for the two championships he helped so much to win. Let it be said that one element alone was the keynote to ' ' D ' s success — team work. . ' A ' ' - ■ i Z a isj c u [,SB] E Company FROM the time that ■ ' Bill Boykin gives the command to ' ' fall in at reveille until Alex Bush makes taps, E Company is on her toes, and always ready to show the rest of the companies in the regiment that she is going to give each and every one of them a hard and steady race for the various honors in this school. The reason that E is making such wonderful progress is due to the fact that she has had for a tac an officer and man who is willing to give every bit he has in him for the betterment and advancement of his company, and. fur- thermore, she has had for commission officers men whom the company would follow through h and back. The spirit in athletics was a spirit that showed that she w-ould not quit, no matter how unsuccessful her attempts were, and for this reason E, though she has not come through with flying colors, has at least given the company that did a hard fight for their honors. But, on the other hand, E has contributed as much varsity material as any other rdnipany. [ 200 ] F Company THIS year, as in previous years, F has shown her true Culver spirit. First, is her splendid spirit shown toward school activities, and second is her wonderful company spirit. F Company has always been noted for its excellent company spirit, which, in the long run, is the key to success of any organization. F started the year off right under the capable supervision of Captain Bals, who was later transferred and put in charge of the enlisted detachment. However, his good work was continued by Lieutenant Hoge. He was only with us but a short time, but his remarkable interest in the company was appreciated by every one. Upon returning from Christmas leave, we found in our midst Captain ] IcCready as our new tactical officer. He was very loyal to the com- pany in all of its activities, and took keen interest in all athletic, academic, and military work. Then last, but by far not least, Check and his lieutenants, Hilgemeier and Graves, are to be highly commended on their leadership in making the company what it is today. They were, indeed, at all times, ideals for every man of their organization. Clear the way — here comes ' F ' Company ' s team! .As to F ' s athletic ability, it was plenty good. And last (but what the headmaster might say, not least ) was F ' s academic standard. It was not the highest in the regiment, but the attitude toward studies could not be surpassed. o 11 - J S x ' Lkjion Logan Meiidek Morse, C a i i o r U Y. =4 s:i - S 2 eg2d n llliii H D O ft. iJ 7 3 i; c a D o s c W ' G Company ' ITH the bally major at the helm and Swede as first mate, G Company braved the storm and breasted the waves of vicissitudes which more than once threatened to sink the ship. . The company is decidedly athletically inclined, being represented on every varsity team and turnina; out corn- pan} ' teams of the highest quality. The source of material of G Company has been largely in the Summer School. This gave the advantage of having the majority of the new men previously trained. Owing to this fact, G Company has always maintained a high military standard. With such athletic prowess and ability, with such military standards, with such a tactical officer, and with such a cadet captain, plus individual co-operation and sin- cere interest in their own organization and Alma jNIater, any company is bound to succeed and to set an example that can be readily followed. G Company has always had an enviable record, and this year G her former records. has surpassed [204] H Company ( ( ir IT 5 ? — What Culver cadet, be he plebe or alum- nus, will ever forget it. Excellent both in athletics and in a military way, H has belied her name only to the extent of being first instead of last. And all due to the untiring and unceasing efforts of her tac and cadet captain, Major McKinney, and Tyler Watson. H has ranked among the very highest in every conceivable sport, and in football won the champion- ship of the second battalion, owing to the most encour- aging spirit shown by the team and company at large. Xot to be outdone by her many competitors, nor to be satisfied with the laure ' s bestowed upon her for sppe- riority in athletics, H worked upwards until she is now looked upon as one of the most efficient and best companies in school — a fact which few, indeed, will contest. The spirit of H is one of her greatest assets, for all men in this company love her and respect her. And it is because of this love and respect that H Company is what she is today.

The presence of Captain O ' Callahan ' s organiza- tion is essential at parade, retreat, guard mount- ing, athletic events and numerous other activities of the school. To officers and cadets alike, the weekly band concerts in the mess hall are a source of delight and keen enjoyment. The Band this year has exemplified the spirits of its instructor, Captain O ' Callahan, who is said to have once forcibty stated before a chapel audience, that musicians captmn oi lhhsn are not effeminate. The tactics of the Band football team last fall certainly proved the truthfulness of this statement. Handicapped by a small organization to draw material from, they put out a team that ran a close race for battalion and school championship. During the fifth class period. Sergeant Giltner, of the U. S. Army detail, may be seen drilling the musicians on the upper parade field almost any day of the year. Thus we may say that the Band is both a military and a musical organization. There is hardly a cadet who does not feel a thrill of pride as the Band passes before the regi- ment in parade. Culver Unit of Senior R. O. T. C. IT is a true soldierly spirit that the men on this year ' s list for reserve certificates have shown. These men have completed both two years of basic and two years of advanced R. O. T. C. work; they have been recommended for reserve com- missions since going to the R. O. T. C. camp for six weeks last summer. The number of men receiving certificates or commissions upon graduation at Culver has been growing each year since the act pertaining to United States reserve forces has been in effect. The following men of the infantry will receive certificates as second lieutenants: r. M . Ik Bill, R. W. Bruce, E. L . Brandon, F. C The following tenants: COOPKR, J. B. FoRBUSH, S. B. Fort, G. L.

The remainder of the men in the picture will receive their certificates on com- pletion of the four-year R. O. T. C. course. [ 208 ] M gS= The R. O. T. C. CULVER is the only preparatory school in the United States that maintains a Senior Reserve Officers ' Training Corps Unit. The entire school lakes the first two years of R. O. T. C. work, but the last two years ' course, which includes six weeks ' intensive training at a government camp, is taken at the cadet ' s option. Those cadets who take advantage of the opportunity of going to a training camp, and who have completed four years ' training at the academy, are awarded commis- sions in the Organized Reserves at the age of twenty-one, or in the case of immediate outbreak of hostilities. The government furnishes the school with a great amount of expensive equip- ment, including an entire battery of 3-inch field guns, a squadron of tanks, eight army trucks, a battery of French 75-millimeter guns, long-range cannon, motor supply truck, traveling field kitchens, portable wireless sets, Springfield rifles and ammuni- tion, and countless other material. The success of the Culver unit of the R. O. T. C. is due to the untiring efforts of Col. Fitzhugh Lee, the Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and to his able assistants. The following report of a government inspector was received: It is recommended that a senior unit be maintained at this institution. The requirement that fifty per cent, of the students shall on graduation be twenty years of age cannot be met, but in every other respect the instruction at this institution fits students to be suitable officers of the Officers ' Reserve Corps. In many respects boys of eighteen from this institution are more fitted for a commission in the Officers ' Reserve Corps than older students from other institutions within the same area.

How- ever, unlike human beings, it has been able to stand on its own feet since the first day, and has been up and at ' em in every phase of school activity — mili- tary, athletic, social, and academic. Colonel Rossow, assisted by his staff of instructors, cadet officers, and a wide-awake, peppy company of men, has succeeded in making the past year one of unusual achievement and a fitting crown for the troop ' s past record. Whenever visitors are welcomed to Culver the troop manages to carry away the lion ' s share of their admiration and praise. Gen. John Pershing, and Alvin 1. Owsley, the national commander of the American Legion, are two nation-wide heroes to whom the troop acted as personal escort during the year. The members of the Fidac became very enthused ov er our music ride and rough riding exhibitions. The troop has had a fine year in athletics, and although it was not always vic- torious, opponents were always supplied with keen competition, and the last whistle was the only signal which brought a stop to its efforts to succeed. Our football team was the talk of the school, and it was only after the bitterest fight that we were eliminated from the race. The basketball team bids fair to become a winner; and, in fact, there is no sport in school in which the troop does not enter with the greatest of spirit and zest. In the academic standing the troop has been very near the top every month, and several troopers managed to stay in the first ten of their respective classes. The troop is an organization of which Captain Edel and the school at large can well be proud. [2.4] CL ' --. jr i ' -j BATTERY [2,5] [= ' ] Captain, J. Bays; Lieutenants, M.

The Battery THIS is the third year of the Battery ' s independence; for before 1920 the artil- lerymen, like the troopers, were members of some infantry outfit, and only got their mounted service training in spasmodic doses. But in 1920 the Battery stepped from the shadow of cross-rifles, and with its aggregate of over one hundred men became quite an important factor in the school. The men who have placed the red guidon on such an enviable and lofty height are Captain Fray and Major Miller. Captain Fray has nursed the Battery from its days of oblivion to the important place it now occupies in the academy, and is affec- tionately, but unofficially, known as Papa John. Major jMiller, his associate, holds no less a place of esteem in the hearts of the field artillerymen. Johnnie Bays, the cadet captain of the 1923 Culver Battery, has, with the assist- ance of his officers, built up an invincible spirit in the organization. Faith can move a mountain, but it takes spirit to run the Culver Battery. .And that is the reason that it has been run so successfully in the years gone by, for the Battery is strong on spirit. Last year the second platoon football team won the regimental championship. This year we were not lucky enough to repeat, but both the teams put up a game fight. The Battery was fortunate in having four letter men on the varsity football team. WIATION rs 2,3 [2.8 I Aviation THIS is a subject that graces the curriculum of no other preparatory school. It is a progressive course that is in keeping with Culver ' s policy of being up-to-date in everything, and is something which, unassisted, places our school in a more advanced class than any other military school in the country. The entire School of Aviation, but particularly the flying, is under the able and expert supervision of Lieutenant Walker. It is a general belief that flying is one of the most dangerous modes of travel, but with the danger of unskilled operation and poor equipment removed, aviation is brought down on a plane of safety above the auto. Our own experience in this field would certainly seem to vouch for such a statement; we have taken over seven hundred flights since the aviation department was created, and we can proudly say that we have never yet had an accident. We are not, it is true, free from the perils and traps which confront the aviator every minute, but skilled hands and dependable equipment have thus far minimized the unfavorable forces of nature to the zero point. We hope, and confidently predict, that in the future the same record that has followed us so far will never be marred. The ground school work, and the exhaustive researches into the intricacies of gasoline engines are under Lieutenant Hutchinson, and a more able instructor never lived. It requires a man with patience and experience to answer the innumerable questions that arise from the study of engines, and a man of ingenunity and perse- verance to keep the battery of motors that the planes use, in constant line trim. [220] Hutch is certainly the man for the job, and as Curly, the assistant me:hanic, says, Boy, he sure can make an engine talkl The classes in this interesting work increase every year. Aviation is still a com- paratively new thing to all of us, and it will require time for us to become educated to the usefulness, safety and future of the airplane. Year by year a larger number of parents realize the feasibility of having their sons know something of this latest method of travel, pastime and transportation, and a larger number of boys are irre- sistibly drawn into this fascinating study. Our equipment is rapidly increasing. In spite of the recreation building fire, we have added to our varied collection of motors, until today we have about as repre- sentative a group as we can possibly obtain. In aviation the old things are rapidly discarded and forgotten, but there seems no limit to what the future may bring. Certainly any boy who has availed himself of this course has had the advantage of being able to amass a bit of knowledge that will stand him in good stead throughout his life. Not only is there a winter school of aviation, but the instruction in this interesting subject is carried on in the summer school. A boy learns more about mathematics and physics in one hour of flying than he could possibly learn in weeks of text-book work. So the Culver Aviation School not only captivates a boy, but it also gives him valuable instruction along useful lines. Commissioned Officers Captains T, D. TUKNtR X. C. Rogers F. R. Senn F. C.

However, one evolu- tion — perhaps it would be better to say revolution — took place at Culver not such a long time ago that is worthy of our deepest consideration and our utmost respect. Xo one will deny the important part that athletics play in cadet life at Culver, and it is in that field that this new system was evolved. Culver ideals, Culver manhood, and Culver athletics all seem to be connected by the closest possible ties. But this was not always as noticeable as it is now. And therein lies the secret and the success of what happened. The leaders in the athletic life at Culver plainly saw that, in order to get the best results, all men must be kept in good shape all the time. Besides, due to the great attendance at Culver, it was obvious that all men could not make the varsity teams. Therefore, the plan was concoted whereby all men should have the opportunity to indulge in athletics, and at the same time train themselves so that in their later years they might become the nucleus of a strong varsity team. To serve this purpose, company teams were organized, thus giving a great many more men the desired exercise and opportunity. But then it was found that even this provision did not suffice, so the Jungle League was formed. Both sets of teams are under careful guidance, and the possibility of getting on a varsity team some time in the future is a constant goal to every one. Never before has this system worked as well as this year. Both officers and cadet leaders alike deserve lasting credit for the admirable work they have accom- plished. Nothing has contributed more toward making Culver a ' ' Yet Greater Culver, and it is the sincere and hearty wish of every one that the excellent work will continue and improve, if possible, in the years to come.

[ 229 ] Our Coach THIS year Culver won the football championship of the Middle West and had, we believe, the best prep school team in the country. The team ' s success was due mainly to one man. Bob Peck, all-time Ail-American center on the University of Pittsburgh ' s wonder team of 1916. No man can make a success of a football team unless he has the love and respect of every player on it; the unqualified success of the team this year is a fair index to the light in which Bob Peck is regarded by the corps as a whole. No one at Culver holds a more enviable place in the esteem of the cadets than does this excellent coach of our three major sports. Year after year in the face of all odds he turns out teams ranking with the leaders of the West, and as a result of his coercive effort has made Culver the synonym for good athletes. Bob, old man, (if we may be so familiar ) they say one can tell how much he cares for a man by the feeling he has when the time comes to leave. That explains this lump in our throat, the blur in our vision, and the pain in our heart. Yours is a hallowed place in our memory as a real man associated with and loved by us during the happiest days of our life.

[■ 232 ] Baden Hall Game Culver started the most successful season that she has ever had by defeating Baden Hall of Notre Dame 19 to 0. The corps was a bit skeptical about the game because there were so many new men in the line-up. After the first few minutes of play we knew that we had one of the best prep football teams in the Middle West. Time has proven this. Baden only made one first down in the entire game, while Culver repeatedly tore through Baden ' s line. Garber made one of the most spectacular plays of the season when, after receiving the ball on the kick-off, he ran through the entire Baden team for a touchdown. Bush let his suprlus pep escape directly at one of Notre Dame ' s halfbacks, and watched the rest of the game. Walsh Hall Game Again a Notre Dame team came to Culvtr, and once again a Notre Dame team left Culver more melancholy than when they arrived. This game cannot be considered much more than a practice game, for Culver made nine times as many first downs as did her opponent. The entire game was played in a steady rain ; but even with this handicap, there were very few fumbles made by either team. This game showed that Culver had a championship team in the making, as she later proved. The game itself was a very one-sided affair. Culver found no difficulty in breaking through the college team ' s line, and very rare was the occasion that the Walsh backs could advance the ball. The entire second team played the last quarter, and proved to the first team that they could depend upon a powerful string of substitutes. The score; Culver, , 2; Walsh Hall, of Notre Dame, 0. [23. The scores seemed to indicate that we were playing weaker teams as the season progressed; but t hat was not the case, our new team was just rounding to real fighting form. Great Lakes Naval Training Station was the next team to come to Culver, and go home with a longer face than it came with. The game itself was a very e.xciting one, and if Culver ' s defense had not been perfect, we might have had another story to tell. In the last few minutes of play, with our whole second team in. Great Lakes took the ball to within one yard of our goal. They were held for three downs, and on the fourth tried a pass, but it was broken up. Culver carried the ball back within twelve yards of the opponents ' goal in the next two plays. The game ended. Culver, 30; Great Lakes, 6. [ = J Kewatin Game Kevvatin had an awfully small team, but one of the fastest prep school teams in the Middle West. This game helped to prove that the biggest or the fastest was not too big or fast for the academy. Culver won the championship of this part of the country, and she certainly deserved it after defeating such teams as Kewatin. The game was hard fought from start to finish. Culver kicked off and held Kewatin for downs. From then on Culver had the ball most of the time. Culver scored in the first, second and third periods. Culver had her hands full keeping Kewatin from scoring via the aerial route. Culver, 21; Kewatin, 0. £ 6] Kemper Game Kemper came — Kemper saw — Culver conquered. The team was out lo avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of Kemper the preceding year. After they got through and had time enough to count the score, Culver had 26 points and Kemper only 3. This was one of the most exciting games that has ever been played at the academy, and it will be a long time until such a game is played again. Garber and Hand around the ends and Baker through the line were the chief reasons that the score was as big as it was. Kemper brought a good team, with one star, to Culver, but we beat her with a better team with eleven stars. tSl S ' -C ' ' - ASf0m . American College of Physical Education Game We just about annihilated the American College of Physical Education. The aihleles were no match for the academy ' s well-rounded team, which by this time was developing into the perfect machine the coach wanted. After a few minutes of playing it became apparent that the regular line-up was totally unnecessary and most of the team was withdrawn, substitutes filling the places satisfactorily. There is not much to say about the ;;anie itself. Culver had the ball most of the time and found no difficulty in advancing with it. Only once did our opponents show signs of scoring, but they were easily held, as shown bv the large linal score of 01 to 0. fffffrf ffffff Oil [ 238 ] bCHWARTZBURG Lake Forest Game Well, we got ' em and got ' em right ! The last two years ' teams are avenged. What we did to Lake Forest this year was plenty. When they heard the Culver team was fast, they said they ate speed. They were well fed. This contest wasn ' t like other Lake Forest games. To begin with, it was the first time that both teams had all their rooters on the side lines; the game was at Lake Forest, but the entire corps went there on a special train to see the big game of the year. Another reason, our team was different from last year ' s — a lot different. Culver piled up 41 points in the first half to Lake Forest ' s 0. During the third quarter, Lake Forest crossed our goal line for the first and onlv time of the season. The game ended, score 54-6. r 239 ] Rose Poly Game Culver left the prep school class of football this week and tackled a college team. The morning Indianapolis newspapers forecasted that Rose Polyltechnic Institute would beat us 14 to 7. It looked as though the papers were right when the college team took the field; never had men looked so big. The dopesters were given a big surprise after the academy ' s eleven had finished with the college boys. Rose Poly kicked off, and Culver didn ' t stop going until the last whistle. There were times in the game when she hit a stone wall, and times when she was pushed back, but on all of these occasions Culver proved herself a perfect team. Garbtr, around the ends behind invincible inter- ference, produced most of our points. Score: Culver, 44; Rose Poly, 0. [ ° ] Shaw High Game Culver finished the most successful season she has ever had by winning over Shaw High School, of Cleveland. This game marks the finish of one of the best prep school football teams the country has ever seen, for during the last quarter our entire team was made up entirely of seniors. There were men on that team who will distinguish themselves on college teams, but never will they play with a team that has more determination and fighting skill than the Culver eleven of twenty and two. The Shaw High team was undoubtedly the fastest team that has ever played here. From start to finish it was a case of keeping Shaw from getting loose. Our defense was perfect, so Culver won, 55 to 0. THE football season of ' 22 will go down in the history of Culver as the greatest in every respect. Coach Peck produced the team this year that he has been trying to for many years. Probably the greatest achievement was the decisive score over Lake Forest, who has since 1899 been Culver ' s tradi- tional rival. There are very few schools that can boast of undefeated teams, and fewer still are the schools who have gone through an entire year with only one touchdown made against them. Culver belongs to the latter, and too much cannot be said about the fighting qualities of the team. Culver had this year an uncor.quered, unconquerable eleven, backed by the most loyal student body for which any academy could hope.

Marshall High School of Chicago was the first victim. Team work was evident from the first blast of the whistle. The game was fast and furious — due, no doubt, to escape of pent-up pep that had been accumulating during the training period. The cadets seemed more at home when the game started with Marshall High the following week. From the first it was plain to see that Culver would finish the victor, not because the visitors were not up to scratch. but Culver ' s quintette was function- ing as a real winning team. Good defense on both sides was the chief feature of the game. Culver won the next game in the last few minutes of play. From the start Culver was fighting one of the best basketball teams that had ever played on the Culver floor. Each side would retaliate with a basket a Wilson, h. (Managee) minute after either team would score. UL V The score alternated every few min- utes during the entire game, Ijut with two minutes to go, Culver triumphed over Tilden Tech of Chicago. The next game marked the first athletic defeat of the school year. This was hard to believe, because it was getting away from a regular rou- tine. Culver ' s team was the faster, but the Xotre Dame Freshmen were a good deal larger in size and played a better individual game. Xotre Dame won the game in the same manner the cadets had won the week before; that is, in the last few min- utes of play. Culver came back strong in the next game by winning over Bowen High School of Chicago. The game was Culver ' s from the start, and the entire second team finished the last half of the game, showing themselves off to an advantage. No more need be said about this game, for it was plainly seen that the two teams were not in the same class. Culver ' s second defeat came the following week, and again at the hands of a college team. Brownson Hall of Notre Dame took a very rough game away from the cadets, but the fighting spirit, for which all Culver teams are noted, was more than evident during the entire game. Culver scored from the start to the linish of the next game and easily de- feated Englewood High of Chicago. This game was one of hard playing Ijy both teams, but it was simply the case of the best team coming out ahead. [2,6 J Culver defeated Lake Forest this year. That is all that need be said about the game, for every one knows the rivalry that exists between the two schools. For the first time in fi e years Culver beat the Lake For- est team, but they had to put forth every ounce of strength and force to do it, because Lake Forest ' s team had a clean record, having defeated all their opponents before this game. y . s with the football team, too much cannot be said for or about the qualities of the team as a whole and about each member individually. Evans as its captain was one of the pluckiest little athletes that Culver ever had. Each one of the players deserves the highest of praise, but we can only say that their record is their superb monument and will al- ways stand as a tribute to one of the best teams that has ever represented Culver on the athletic fie ld. [ Varsity Hockey DUE to the fact that a new rink was being built, a great deal was expected from this year ' s hockey team. The rink was completed and still could not be used; but, at the same time, this has no bearing on the expectations of the team. The team was organized immediately after Christmas leave, with Freddie Shipman as captain, and Hilgemeier as manager. The team was under a disadvan- tage by having to practice on the lake, instead of having a rink as last year ' s team had. And in addition to this handicap, at times the weather seemed to be very much against the sport. Early games were proposed, but were unable to be played on account of not having enough practice, which was due to the changeable weather. Finally some real winter came along, and the team began to see a new light. Major Yates was on the job every day, in order that the team would get full advantage of the so-called hockey weather. The first game of the season was with Notre Dame University, which was played to the end without a score. Extra time was played, and the game went to Notre Dame, 2-1. The second game was with DePaul University, of Chicago. This game, as the previous one, was played very skillfully, the game ending in Culver ' s favor, 2-0. The third and last game was with the Milwaukee . 11-Stars, which was a professional team. This team was slightly out of our class, and the All-Stars carried the final score, 4-0. Taking all into consideration, this year has been a very excellent year for the hockey team. The old Culver spirit was always evident, and through the splendid guidance of our coach, !Major Yates, and Freddie as captain, never a bad move was made. £248] [249] 1923 Varsity Track T: Indoor Scores Culver, 66; Austin High, 11.

One was with Austin High, of Chicago, and the other with the Xotre Dame Freshmen, both of which Culver won handily. The outdoor season is expected to repeat the success of previous years, for with men l ike Captain Barada, Hand, and Ledbetter, Coach Thessin has the nucleus around which he can build one of the best teams in the countrv. Barada lowered the indoor record for the mile, which had been standing for years; Hand holds the school record for the low hurdles, outdoors; Ledbetter has cleared 5 feet, 10 inches in the high jump, and is expected to do even better than that when warm weather loosens him up. As a coach. Culver has Captain Thessin, one of the best athletes the West has even developed. The greatest event of the year is the Stagg Meet, which takes place in Chicago in June, and is attended by all the leading schools of the country. Culver expects to bring home the bacon from said meet. Even if she doesn ' t, let it suffice to say that when the last man breaks the last tape, the track season of ' 22- ' li will have been one of unqualified success. rs [252] tl ba5e:ball [253] t i t Li : 5, . 45 P ' ' ' f% •-« ' -mf m ;t 4 i i Schedule April 14 — Laporte High School.

Dope ALTHOUGH the baseball schedule does not begin until after the Roll Call goes to press, the dope seems to be that Culver will have one of the best nines in recent vears. The most promising material seems to be Collins (captain), Potter, Lustig, and Kuenster, all of last year ' s team, while the new material is not lacking in good men. Outside spring practice was somewhat delayed this year, due to the wet weather; we feel sure that when the last Culver man crosses the plate on June 2, that Culver will have finished one of the most successful seasons in its history, and one of which each cadet will be justly proud. V k ' ■ { t ' ' ' w I I [255] Crew I ' ery probably INCREDIBLE though it may seem, the Varsity Crew of 1923 eclipse the wonderful record of the 1922 crew. Last year, after a spring of hard road work leading up to work in the shell on the lake, the crew finished up with a fine record of two victories and no defeats. It was the first real effort of Culver to turn out a shell crew. Commander Fowler, the guiding genius, got a schedule of two races. Although it was a short schedule, it was composed of very worthy opponents. This year the schedule arranged so far is composed of three ex ' ents. First, the crew takes a trip to Yale Interscholastic Meet on May 12. June 4, we again meet the Wisconsin Junior Varsity. Then on an undecided date, Lincoln Park will also be met for a second time. Of this year ' s schedule, the trip to Yale will undoubtedly be the biggest event of the season. There will, of course, be plenty of competition, but with the old Culver spirit the crew intends to do their best. Out of last year ' s crew we were indeed fortunate in only losing three men. including the co.xswain. They were Prindle, Richards, and Neely, the coxswain. We ha ' e with us this year the following men of last year ' s crew: Hawkins (captain), Olwin. RpRout, Schwartzburg, Green and Field. These men are all showing better form than ever, and we may expect great things of them. The men showing up best for the two vacancies left by graduation are: Xixon, Shallcross, Langhorst, Holt. Schultze and Chapin. Lender the able leadership of Captain Hawkins and Commander Fowler, the cadets are assured of some verv exciting and successful races. [256] Varsity Swimming Team Scores South Bend Y. M. C. A 16— Culver 42 C. H. Harrison Tech Senn High School National Interscholastic Championship.. Male High School of Louisville 12 — Culver 56 21— Culver 47 — Culver (tied for first) 32 22 — Culver 46 UNDER the able coaching of Lieut. H. A. Laubis, the swimming team finished the most successful season in the history of the school, by defeating Louisville !Male College, of Louisville, Kentucky, by a score of 46 to 2i, on March 10. The season opened before Christmas, with a victory for Culver over the South Bend Y. This was one of the closest contested of the dual meets that we had, with the score 42 to 21. Our next meet was a walkaway over Harrison High, of Chicago. The latter team was slightly incapacitated, due to sickness and graduation at the mid-year, and only scored 12 points to our 56. C. Graves, of Culver, was the high point man, winning the 100-yard back stroke and the 220-yard swim. Our next conquest was over Senn High, of Chicago, that had just recently won the Chicago high school championship. In this meet. Graves again won high honors, winning both the 100-yard and the 220-yard swims. The team journeyed to Chicago February 2 7, 28 and ] Iarch 1, to engage in the National Interscholastic Swimming Meet, under the auspices of the Illinois Athletic Club. They there distinguished themselves by tieing with Englewood, Chicago, for the national championship. T. Woi ord, of Culver, easily won first place in the diving; Schwartzburg placed second in the 100-yard back stroke, while C. Graves took third; Faure won third in the breast stroke; Gates, third in the 100-yard swim; L. Kennedy, fourth in the 40-yard dash, and Dillon fourth in the plunge. The 160- yard relay team, composed of Gates, L. Kennedy, W. Young, and Wofford, and the Medley relay team, composed of Schwartzburg, Faure, L. Kennedy, and C. Graves, won first place. Both relays were pushed hard, and competition was strong through- out the meet. In the last dual meet of the year, with Louisville M. H. S., C. Graves was again high point winner for Culver, winning the 100-yard back stroke and the 220-yard swim. Wofford was second, with first in the diving and swimming on the winning relay team. A number of events of the Indiana-Kentucky State A. A. U. took place at the Culver pool on the 27th of March. C. Graves won the 150-yard back stroke by a very close margin after placing second in the 100-yard swim. Schwartzburg was second in the l.SO-yard back stroke; Abbott was third in the 100-yard swim; Faure, Rose, and J. Johnston placed first, second, and third in the 220-yard breast stroke (no outside entries). Dillon was third in the National A. A. U. plunge, which was won by Nlorine, former Culver star plunger. Only four important point winners of this year ' s team graduate this June, so next year ' s swimmers should go farther still in acquatic contest s. Tatum Wofford, who won National Interscholastic diving championship in Chicago, and has had three vears ' service on the team, was .unanimouslv elected captain for the vear 192.V24. [258] m ' wmmw] Boxing THE boxing season, along with the rest of the athletic seasons, can certainly be called a success. Under Lieutenant Myers ' careful coaching, the team made gcod progress and did some mighty good work. The first meet of the season was against West Point. West Point had some of the best intercollegiate boxers in the East, and afforded very strong competition. The team met them at West Point on Washington ' s Birthday. Of the eight men that boxed. Bush was the only one to win his bout. He succeeded in defeating jNIaglin, one of West Point ' s best men. The rest of the men put up good fights, but all lost their decisions. The following men fought: Wolfe, Von Storch, Rohm, Garber, Lammert, and Bellis. Wolfe, in the first bout, showed some good boxing and good headwork. He was defeated by a very narrow margin. Von Storch put up a good fight, and displayed very clever work. His bout was close, but the judges declared against him. Rohm went in fast and hard, but left his chin open to a right-hand blow which sent him to the floor. He came back in the second round, but was unable to continue. Garber boxed hard and well, showing the West Point man a few tricks of the trade. He, however, lost a iudges ' decision. Lammert fought hard, but was pretty well battered up. His opponent was given the bout in the second round. Lammert was greatly hindered by his poor eyesight. Bellis stayed all three rounds with his more experienced man. He did not deliver many decisive blows, although he was not hit much himself. He lost the bout. In the latter part of March, Bush went to Gary for the Aliddle States A. A. U. meet. He fought his way easily through the preliminaries and semi-finals, and won decisively in the finals. He defeated some of the best boxers in the Middle States. Eight men attended the Indiana-Kentucky State A. A. U. meet in Indianapolis, on March , 0 and 31. Every one showed up well, and Bush and Boykin took first places. Bush fought well in the semi-finals and in the finals, defeating Mullholland, of the Hoosier A. C, the junior Xational A. A. U. champion. Boykin knocked his man out in the semi-finals, and was matched against Garber in the finals. The bout was one of the closest in the whole meet, and was awarded to Boykin after a fourth round. Both men fought exceptionally well and deserve a lot of credit. Garber was awarded second place in that class. Von Storch, one of our cleverest boxers, was running against luck. He won in the preliminaries, but broke his hand. In the semi-finals, his hand was so bad that he could not use it at all, and the referee called the bout in the first round. Rohm, another of our stars, was defeated by the ultimate winner of his weight in a very good fast bout in the semi-finals. His opponent was left-handed, making it hard for Rohm to solve his style. Rohm put up a good bout, making a very creditable showing, and was awarded third place in the weight. A. Evans was defeated in the preliminaries, in one of the fastest bouts seen at the tournament. Evans is a good little boxer and made his punches straight as a die. However, he was against a more experienced man, and lost a judges ' decision. Buckley, who is a new addition to the squad, lost in the semi-finals. He is a snappy little boxer and gets in some good punches. Pitts lost in the preliminaries to the same man who defeated Von Storch in the semi-finals. Pitts put up a plucky fight, but showed his lack of experience. The next meet of the season with Wiley High School, of Terre Haute, Indiana, is not finished as we go to press. The Terre Haute team affords some excellent competition, and the team is very likely able to take care of them. During the last month of school the company tournament is held. The winners compete in the regimental championships, in which all men are allowed to box who have not been in meets with outside teams. . s a whole, the season can be said to ha e been successful, and boxing can be added to the list of sports which go a long way to make a Greater Culver.

Abbott : Secreta President First Vice-President -Second Vice-P ' resident ...Third Vice-President THE Cadet Club of the Culver Legion is an organization composed of all men who are in their fourth -ear of service at the academy. It is an organization that is both legislative and executive. It is the mouthpiece of the cadets, and is the student governing body. The Cadet Club was formed from the o. ' d Service Club, and at the time of its founding taken over by the Culver Legion, the alumni association. Thus it can be seen that it is a liason between the academy authorities, the alumni and the cadets. Perhaps the most important work of the club is the handling of the honor system. This body of men not only are responsible for the framing of the system, but also for its execution. The unqualified success of Culver ' s honor system is due to the con- scientious effort of the members of this club. Through co-operation with the Alumni Board of Visitors, the Cadet Club has obtained many privileges for the cadets. The Board of Visitors makes quarterly visits to the academy, and has been of great help to this organization. School spirit, that indescribable power that can turn defeat into victory, that intangible something that makes a school more than a mere array of brick and steel, is cultivated by these men; for a school that has no school spirit is like a man without a soul. And it is the intention of the Cadet Club that Culver ' s school spirit be a powerful influence that will foster love for the Alma Mater and the things for which she stands. The Cadet Club is in charge of the relationship between the old and new cadets. The club has taken a definite stand against hazing, but believes in the preservation of the traditions that bar familiarity between the plebes and upper classmen. This organization has a definite purpose. It is ever trying to cultivate a high standard of student life, standing for those things which are in accordance with the spirit of Culver. F, Reed j , ' .

Mather, the dramatic classes have made a record that many a professional company would be proud to own. Every sort of play from the somber ones of Eugene O ' Xeil to those light and delightful comedies of William Gillette are presented to the corps at intervals of about two weeks. Lieutenant Mather, the director, is an experienced hand at the producing and play- writing game, despite the fact that he is a young man. He has written sketches which have appeared on vaudeville circuits and in such well-known revues as the Ziegfeld Follies. It is due to his efforts that the dramatic classes here present pro- ductions that vie with professional presentations in settings and quality of acting. A list of the plays enacted during the past year shows the wide scope of the ability of the voung Garricks. Bunk Bv Henev S. Smith Hero Loofbourrow Heroine _ Olwin Villian.....

Durrett; for Mr. Durrett took the Glee Club when it was a mere babe in swaddling clothes, and has raised it to a healthy, lusty youngster. We call it a youngster now, for the director is always planning to make the Glee Club better than ever — if that is possible to do. For there is no better than the best. One of the features of the Glee Club ' s 1922-23 season was their participation in the entertainment of the Indiana Society of Chicago at the Drake Hotel, on December 9 and 10. There they firmly established the reputation which the 1921-22 Glee Club had made. The Chicago press, as well as many prominent musical authorities, hailed this as a triumph in glee club work. The Glee Club has furnished appropriate sacred music at Thanksgiving, Easter and commencement chapel exercises. The chapel e.xercises here have always been an object of visitors ' admiration, and the Glee Club certainly does help make the services impressive. Whenever the club has been put on trial, they have always proved their worth.

Slincerland r 300 ] Culver Syncopators THE Culver Syncopators are the peppiest, jazziest bunch of harmony hounds ever assembled. They all have Hot Lips when it comes to playing melody. Every Saturday night at the movie, and at all the informal dances, these men unselfishly devote their time for the entertainment of the cadets. Under the name of ' ' The Kelly-on-the-Keys Orchestra, these men furnished most all of the music for the famous Culver Follies. Here again they demonstrated their unquestioned ability of being foremost interpreters of harmony and syncopation.

I The Golf Club Now that the new milHon dollar golf course is under construction, and several holes are already being used, the Culver Golf Club increases in importance. Under the guidance of jMajor Yates, the devotees of the sport have long endured the Maxinkuckee course, but now those who have so faithfully followed the game are rewarded by having an e :cellent course at their very doorstep. Each year a professional from one of the famous Chicago clubs instructs the cadets in the use of the various clubs. As a result, golfers of no mean ability may be found in this organization. It is the intention of the Culver Golf Club to have golf rank as a major sport before long. And if the interest taken this year in golfing is in any way indicative of the coming popularity of the game, we cannot but feel that the Golf Club will be successful in its undertaking. For golf is no longer an old man ' s game, and boys all over the country are begin- ning to play this game, which will soon be as popular with the younger generation as baseball now is. . nd Culver, always in the vanguard, is indeed fortunate in having wire Golf Club. [30a] The Culver Ski Club L. Wilson President Culver Vice-President Bachrach Secretary Nelson Manager I X spite of the scarcity of that element so necessary for the maintenance of a suc- cessful Ski Club — snow — the Culver Ski Club managed to have a fairly good season. One of the features of the club ' s 1922-23 year was the hike taken in January. !Major Yates, the organizer and faculty adviser, took the hardy Norsemen on a very interesting trip through the snowclad wilds of Indiana. En route, many stunts were pulled off, and some fancy skiing was indulged in by some of the more accomplished members. The club planned a riiarshmallow toast across the lake, intending to journey thither on their skis; but old Sol showed his shining face, and the warm weather melted the snow ere the club could partake of the anticipated delicacies. We hope that there is more winter weather next year for the 1923 Ski Club, so that their season may be longer than was ours. We doubt, however, if it could be more enjoyable. The Hop Club President - Abbott First Vice-President Askew Second ' ice-Pre5idenf . ' F. Reed Secretary-Treasurer Von Storch Manager T. Turnek HIS year the Hop Ciub officers are certainly to be congratulated on having provided such a successful social seascn, for the dances this year eclipsed those of former years in every detail. The Thanksgiving dance started a glorious season of delightful hops. The music was furnished by Husk O ' Hare and his Friar ' s Inn Society Orchestra. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with pumpkins, ears of corn and autumn leaves. At 12:00 refreshments were served in the mess hall. The Easter dance was acclaimed by man ' as the best hop ever given at Culver. Paul Biese, of Chicago, and His Orchestra provided many hours of superb music. The Easter idea was expressed in the decorations, and many lilies transformed the gymnasium into a veritable greenhouse. Several delightful informals were given by the Hop Club this year, and were attended by a great number of beautiful girls from all over the Middle West. They, as well as we, will congratulate the officers of the Hop Club of 1923 on a most successful season. [ -o ] The Culver Follies MANY prominent theatrical producers and dra- matic critics have pronounced the Culver Follies to be the best prep school musical production ever staged. And this year, when the second edition of the Follies made its appearance, the above mentioned critics repeated and added to their former complimentary remarks. The unqualified success of the show is due to the untiring efforts of the Messrs. Fogarty, Keller, and Mather. For these men gave both their talent and their time that the Follies might be the greatest of all school presentations. And we believe that they were Captain fooartv succcssful. The Culver Follies may be matched, but never surpassed by another school production. Not only was the costuming and scale of production in keeping with the Broadway musical comedy, but, like other revues, the Follies had original song hits, written by Lieutenant Keller and Captain Fogarty. Maxinkuckee Moon, the hit of the show, is soon to be published, and even now Paul Biese ' s Edgewater Beach Hotel Orchestra plays it in Chicago, where it has met with great favor. The cadet talent was supplemented by two very talented girls from the Chicago lusical College — Miss Jean Fogarty and Miss .Adah Allen. Mr. P. M. Allen, the famous dancing master, coached the bareback chorus and favored us with a cycle of classical dances. We may truthfully say that the Culver Follies of ' 23 set a new mark in dramatic entertainment. Each one of the Two acts and twenty scenes (to quote the press agent) were extremely entertaining, and the tuneful lyrics set the school whistling for many a day. The Vedette WEEKLY newspaper with a foursquare platform and a conscientious and enterprising staff to uphold it is the Vedette. Almost since the beginning of school, Culver has had its Vedette, its watchman, as the name implies. The paper has grown up with the school, and has absorbed, during the years of its exist- ence, all of the splendid ideals and traditions of Culver. On the roll of its staff have been many of the most influential cadets in the school, and as a result staff appoint- ments have become honors much sought after. The editorial staff at present consists of a managing editor, his assistant, a copy editor, assistant copy editor, and ten associate editors. The managing editor and assistant managing editor control the policies and the activities of the paper under the supervision of the faculty adviser. The copy editors read the copy and the proofs for each edition, and with the managing editors form the executive staff. Then there remains for every one the all-important task of gathering news, neivs, and yet more news, to make the week ' s issue timely and absorbing. In its outward appearance, the Vedette differs from most school papers in the absence of advertisements from its pages. This is, as far as we know, unique among papers of its class. A few of the features which make the Vedette such good reading are the Green Meg, as Through The Green Megaphone, the humor column, is called; Campus Comments, a gossipy column of social news; Battalion, . ttention, a school bulle- [306] tin board; and The Inquiring Reporter, who each week asks pertinent questions about school matters of cadets picked at random. Aside from the honor of the position, a position on the staff is considered very desirable for two reasons. One is that at the end of the year, gold and silver medals are presented to the staff; the other is, that for two days the best that Chicago has to offer is at the disposal of the staff on its annual trip. Through the first semester of this year Lieut. J. V. Parker had guided the Vedette as its faculty adviser, and won the admiration and affection of the staff by his efforts on their behalf and the invaluable help he gave them. When his too numerous duties forced him to drop this work, he resigned in favor of Colonel Noble, who has since filled the position in a way that leaves little to be desired. At about the same time that the staff lost its faculty adviser, it lost also its managing editor, Albert Biggs, who as editor of the Roll Call had his hands too full already, and had to leave us.

[307] Varsity Rifle Team ' EX though the Culver shooters had a lot of hard luck in losing the line gallery jy which was located in the o ' d recreation building, the 1923 Rifle Team has had one of the most successful seasons in the history of shooting at Culver. At the time of writing this article, the team has won every match in which it has entered. The first match was fired on February 13, against St. John ' s, of Manlius, Xew York. The conditions of the match were teams of five, ten shots prone and ten shots standing. Culver ' s score was 916, St. John ' s 877. The second match was fired on February 22, against the Harvard Freshmen. The conditions of the match were teams of ten, ten shots prone, the high five scores to count. Culver ' s score was 494, Harvard Freshmen ' s 487. The third match was fired on March 17, against DePauw University. The condi- tions of the match were teams of ten, ten shots prone and ten shots sitting, the high five scores to count. Culver ' s score was 994, DePauw University ' s score 976. The fourth match was a shoulder-to-shoulder match, with the University of Illinois, fired in the Armory of the University of Illinois, at Champaign, Illinois. The conditions of the match were teams of eight, ten shots sitting and ten shots prone. Culver ' s score was 1,561. the University of Illinois 1,560. This was the most hotly contested match in which the Rifle Team ever engaged, and was not decided until the last shot was fired. The Culver team also won the national championship of the military schools of the United States. This match was fired in four stages, and the shooting was from all positions; namely, prone, standing, sitting and kneeling. Culver ' s score was 3,823. Their nearest competitor made 3,632. For the first time the Culver team participated in the Astor Cup match. This match is for the championship of the preparatory schools of the United States. Heretofore, this match has been held during the first week of June, and it has been impossible for our team to enter. Conditions of the match are teams of ten, twenty shots prone, high five scores to count. Culver ' s score was 998. The final results of this match were not announced at the time of this article ' s going to press. On April 9, the Indiana State Rifle Association held its annual indoor shoot in the gallery of the Culver Military .Academy. Twenty-nine teams were entered in this event. Culver entered three teams. The team match was won by Culver Military Academy, Team No. 1, with a score of 998 out of a possible 1,000. This is the highest score ever made in this same match. Conditions of the match were teams of five, twenty shots prone, all scores to count. Culver ' s score was as follows: Frank R. Senn. 200 Andrew S. Barada 200 Harold O. Caldwell 200 Spencer W. Pitts 199 Clifford B. Cheatham 199 Total _ 998 Too much credit cannot be given to Lt.-Col. Basil JNIiddleton for turning out such a remarkable team. Their triumphs are, in a small way, indicative of the excellent training thev received. W Troop Circus E ' ERV spring, usually at Easter, the Black Horse Troop, assisted by the other organizations, gives a cadet circus. This year, as formerly, the show moved with the regularity of Barnum and Bailey, and contributed many laughs to the spring visitors. Like every other canvas-top show of note, the Troop Circus had red lemonade, ballccn venders, bearded ladies, howling lions, fearless acrobats, and a ringmaster with a whip in his hand and a seegar between his shining teeth. [3,0] Supporters of the Roll Call Appreciation THE entire Academy has been most generous in aiding the 1923 Roll Call staff, and we wish to thank all who have given us help for their generosity. We are indebted to Colonel Chambers, Colonel Greiner, INIajor Hand and J Ir. Henning for invaluable assistance in helping us put out this book. For editorial work we extend our thanks to Cadets Loofbourrow, Haines, Carrier, Dillon, Slingerland, Bingham, Heller, J. Leonard, Schroeder, Halvorson, Williamson, Shideler, ; Iunneke, Garber and INIoise. The cartooning is the work of Cadets Bays and Moise chiefly. We also thank i Ir. !McLallen for his cartoons. This work is of a very tedious and intricate nature, and we are unable to e.xpress our full gratitude. To all of the first sergeants, and to Sergeant-Major Hosack we are indebted for duties too numerous to enumerate. Mr. Keen, the school photographer, has rendered invaluable assistance in taking group pictures, and the service and quality of work done by the Russell Studios in photographing individually the entire senior class merit unwarranted praise. Mr. Charles York, of the Stafford Engraving Company, has taken a great interest in the book, and is responsible for the engraving and beautif ul art work. Mr. Ray Barnes, of the Barnes-Gault Printing Company, has ably interpreted our ideas. He, like Mr. York, has cheerfully and willingly done more than his share in making the 1923 Roll Call a success. Not a mere passive censor, but an active helper, he has ever sought to assist the Roll Call staff, and ever sought to make this book a success. Mere words cannot express our appre- ciation, but we feel that if he is satisfied with the Roll Call, he will know that we have attempted to repay him for his efforts. The Caldron Fun for fun ' s own sake In the caldron boil and make. Jest and jingle in a stew, Wit and humor put in too; Add a dash of poem and pun — Let ' er boil and watch the fun. Laughter dances in every bubble, One small taste will banish trouble; Throw in cartoon if you wish, Then partake of the merry dish. Satire ' s spice here is found. Gather ye and frolic ' round! Double, double toil and troubles Disappear when caldron bubbles. [3M] [3,5] [3,6] Bubbles — Dearest, my love for you is like a babbling brook.

She used to sit upon his lap, As happy as could be; But now it makes her seasick — He has water on the knee! Superb The name of Reno, Nevada — the town of many divorces — is to be changed to Sue City. . He — Would you accept a pet monkey? She — Oh, I would have to ask father. This is so sudden.

First Stable Sergeant — How ' d you get such a bad cold? Second Stable Seregant — Sleeping near the draft horses, I guess. ' Psi — Where you going? Chi — To the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum.
