HHOOT Not so long ago, only two years to be exact, the day boys of the Class of i413 were increased in number by one William Ortt, commonly known as Hoot? This very nonchalant but persistent individual showed great interest in photography as a Junior and was an active member of the DeVeauxnian Staff. Unlike the common rookie he had an exceptionally fine record in the line of delinquent reports and thus, returning for his Senior year, he found himself promoted to the rank of a Cadet Corporal. This year he very aptly held the position of Circulation Manager of both the DeVeauxnian and the Chevron. Graduating this year, Billtt has plans to become a Chemical engineer unless Uncle Sam interferes. P. R. M. Twenlywjaur

LEE Itts about five miles from Hartford, issues from his lips as he vainly tries to convince somebody that he really is from a town and not from a farm. Although Lee is very shy with the opposite sex he certainly isntt with the boys here at school. Because of the lack of bad temper, and because of his willingness to help others, ttHans is undoubtedly the most popular cadet in the whole schooleand has been for the last couple of years. Hans22 will be visiting Uncle Sam very soon after graduation. As he has made a success of h?mself at DeVeaux, so he will in the Army. Good Luck, Leon! R. N. K. Twenly-fiue
