lmllf-ry A Again a company to be reckoned with, Battery A, winner of the Athletic Plaque last year, has completed another fine season. Captained by Bob Moist, the red tide has built up a high sense of loyalty to both com- pany and school. Their athletic prowess in company sports, regimental champions in both crew and wrestling, is as well known as their contribution to varsity squads. Led by four team captains, Mehaffy, wrestling and tennis, Aguilar and Davis, swimming co-captains, and Shinn, golf, the Battery contains many letter winners. Burns is co- captain-elect of next year's Flying Squad- ron. Bellingrath, wrestling and golf: Baer, swimming, Steel, tennis, Chilton, rifle: Kirklin, crew, Moist, basketball, Bunde, wrestlingg Schonblom and Nixon, track: Caudell, cross-country, quite a cross sec- tion of sports are represented by these men. Along military lines the Battery also has much to be proud of. The Regimental Commander, Warren Davis, is one of their members. In the field of academics, they have five Blue Key members: Davis, Agui- lar, Mehaffy, Lott, and Steel. It seems as if achievement is quite common over Main Barrack way. lm the Mess Hall as everywhere else, the Battery is a healthy competitor. Members of Culver s famed Fcur-Gun Drll put on the fnmshmg touches before their Thanksgiving show.

x The English Department Last fall the English Department de- serted their old post in the English Building to take a different residence in the newly constructed classrooms in the basement of the Memorial Library. Under the leader- ship of Colonel Charles C. Mather, the Eng- lish instructors are continually putting forth their best efforts to prepare cadets for future life, where more emphasis is con- stantly being put upon English. Mr. Plebe may have only a hypothetical knowledge of English upon entering Culver, but this isn't his misfortune when he walks through the Iron Gate. During a cadet's third and fourth class years, he is given an introduction into American literature and finds out what the various parts of speech are and when and how to use them. If you spot a first or second classman who looks like he is ready to tear someone apart, he has probably just left the Library. Not only is one of the main objectives of the English Department to give their students a good insight into the field of literature, but every instructor does his best to get cadets to form and express their own opinions. Even if it is a case of getting an individual a little mad. A gentfeman with ideas of his own, Captain Duff was one of those who guided First Classmen through the new senior English course. From the crags of Odysseus' Ithaca to Mark Twain's Mississippi we wandered. Even more extensive, at least in the geographical sense, were the globe-circling jaunts of Colonel Hodgkin's Geography sec- tion. One of Culver's academic innovations this year, the subject provsd hifihlv intere'tir'ig to the Fourth Classmen shown below.
