DKOUSE The consummation of Mousets career at DeVeaux came with his enlistment in the United States Army Air Corps in March, 1945. Subsequent happenings in his life bear out that fact, which we at DeVeaux have always known, namely that Marsh would persevere in any undertaking he might attempt. Although never noted for his industriousness nlVlouseH has always had ability along natural lines, being perpetually fitted for a life of social contacts. Possessing an inherent amount of intelligence and a truly quick and Clever tongue Marshall waded through his boyhood years. Enlistment in a mans Army requires a mants outlook on life. We feel Mouse has that outlook. The greatest tribute, which we can offer to our first Classmate to enter the Armed Forces is a realiza- tion that here is a boy who always was a man. A. R. J. $U. S.

I'ITOMIJ IrTom entered DeVeaux in his junior year, and from that time on has done well for himself. Although Reggie doesntt profess to possess knowledge of mathematics, his knowledge concerning literature and the liberal arts has amazed many a master and student alike. In fact when Tom starts to prattle about Boccacio,s uDecameron, Classic mythology and the like, most of us hide our heads in our ignorance. Tom, as well as being this years foremost exponent and champion of the liberal arts, is an able athlete and officer also. This year he played on all three major athletic teams and in a military way has proven an able 2nd Lieutenant. If Tom continues to do as well in the armed service as he has done at DeVeaux, he cannot help but succeed. R. C. H. Twenly-eighl

Th z'rl y BACK ROW: NOTMAN, MYERS, MILLER, WILLIAMS, W., THORNTON. FRONT ROW: MUNFORD, MR. KORWIN, BELL. i CLASS OF 1944 UPON your return to the Alma Mater at the beginning of the next school year, it will be the duty and privilege of each member of your class to accept his small part in the responsible leadership of the Cadet Corps as Seniors. Your conduct and efforts will not be as strictly checked by the faculty, and it is your job to discipline yourselves and in doing so to set examples for the classes below you. If you are successful in this respect, you will find it much easier in in- fluencing others to maintain the standards set by you and the classes preceding yours. The curriculum of your Senior year will undoubtedly try your patience and ability, but do not become discouraged! Once you have become accustomed to the seemingly insoluble complexities which will be ever-present, you will be surprised to discover that you would not be ready to dispose of these difficulties even if the opportunity were to arise. It is going to be a sort of pleasure to have to think for yourselves a majority of the time and to thus be instrumental in regulating the general conduct, discipline, and attitude of the Corps of Cadets.
