Clarke Gable the Second-maybe even the First. That's Mac. Keats said it: A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Ask l1im about the spring vacation trip to Saltville! Mac is a long, tall, true-as-steel cadet who is popular with his fellows, never has any trouble getting dates at good old G. C. VV., watches for his mail with intensity, knows his military, usually has the right answer ill classes, and manages to get a whole lot of joy out of living. ROBERT L. MITCHELL Charleston, W. Va. Mitch left us after Christmas. We didn't want him to go, but sometimes things break that way. He left without handing in his senior honors, but we can assure you that he had them. Mitch was a member of the Student Council. He was always interested in student activities, and numbered his friends by the score. WILLIAM JOHN MOORE Lewisburg, VV. Va. dlilitary: Corporal, Company D, 1929-30-31, Sergeant, Company C, 1931-32Q Second Lieutenant, Company C, l935- 33- Alhlzlius Midget Football, 1929-325 Colonel Football, 1932-33, Assistant Manager, Track, l93I-32, Manager, Tr k 1 2- '. acOrgfiJ1iiza:iion.1: Non-Commissioned Olhcers Club, 19:9-32g Commissioned Oflicers Club, 1932-335 Great Lovers Clubg Cliislers Club, Lacy Literary Society, 1929-33. Johnny is a hard man to stop when he gets a football under his arm. Plenty of Midget and Colonel opponents have found that out during the past few years. Last year he could have starred easily on the Midgets, but he preferred to play on the next higher team, and he gave a fine account of himself in the backfield, Johnny hails from Lewisburg, as you might guess. The fact that he is the president's son hasn't kept him from taking the hard kll0CkS along with the rest of the fellows, and no one is more popular with the cadets than this grinning fellow with the mussed up hair. Pardon us! We forgot that johnny is in love. Ah, love! And since that happy fall, his hair is always carefully slicked down so that he looks like Robert Montgomery himself. Johnny's favorite poems all deal with a girl named-you guess, it shouldn't be diflicult. . J. VVILLIAM NEIDHART McKeesport, Pa. Mililzzrys Private, Company B, 1930-313 Corporal, Company C, 1931-31, First Sergeant, Company B, 1932-33. .4lhl1'tir.r: Archery, 1930-329 Boxing Squad, 1932-33, Assistant Manager, Track, 1931-33.

He draws cartoo11s. He helps manage the track a11d field athletes. He boxes like Firpo. He sits around in the yard across the street and reads magazines. He is one of those hard-boiled sergeants. Hep-two-three-FO'l And when someone drops a rifle- Nice going in there! But he really isn't so tough, when' you know him. He laughs at everything, and has a jolly good time. He is another good student who should make a fine record in college. VVe expect to hear fine things of Neidy when he reaches the collegiate cloisters pale. HAROLD RICHMOND PARKS Jenkins, Ky. - Jlliliinry: Private, Company D, 1930-31, Corporal, Company C, 1931-32: Staff Sergeant, 1932-33. f1llzIetirJ.'AVarsity Wrestling Team, 1931-331 Midget Football, 1932-331 Midget Basket Ball, 1930-33. . 0rgamz:'zt1on.r.- Kentucky, 1930-339 Non-Commissioned Olhcers, 1931-339 G Club, 1931-335 Philomathian Literary Society, 1930-33. This lceydet is from old Kentucky, where the horses are fast, the women are pretty, and beer has taken the place of wine. And is he proud of the old home state! just mention the fact that murders sometimes occur there--the newspapers are all liars! That's the spirit, Parksy- we don't blame you for standing up for the old Blue Grass section. He is the Keeper of the Keys to the clinic, and it is to him we pray for our daily portions of grub when we are in the inhrmary. Some day he will be either a big Navy man or a big doctor-maybe both. -if 17 fif-

About three years ago an unknown fin these partsy boy named VVallie Kirk drifted into our dear old school. It was Walter Kirk, Jr. He was just another new keydet, but, OH! How he obtained the attention of the girls . . . If you put two and two together you get four, but when you put the parts of Wallie together you get one hundred per cent. GEORGE MCALPIN LANG Dromout, Pittsburgh, Pa. fllilitnry: Private, Company C, 1931-32, Pri- vate, First Class, 1032-33. 0rga1tiz11tirm.r: Dramatic Clubg Lacy Literary Society. This fellow, hailing from the Smoky City, has left a string of records broken behind him. Nine out of ten times George is in the upper third of his classes. He speaks German as well as a stein-lifter. A hobby of his is making model aero- planes-with skill, plus weeks of work. He spends hours and hours moulding one plane into shape. Lang also draws with exceptional ability, and enjoys music. He toots a mean sax himself. He is a fine, quiet, conservative fellow except when Pitts- burgh is mentioned. Then, of course, he brags.

Everyone is ready to laugh over a good joke with Mac, and if one laughs at him--he can take it. There is that certain something in his smile that seems to single out everyone personally.

Organizatiann Philomathian Literary Society. Peters is an eel in the wrestling arena. He moves around carefully, slowly a11d then darts in for the kill. We wouldn't want to be the other fellow. He is quiet a good part of the time, but when there is something to be done- there he is. He played football. He played basket ball. He gets things done. LYLE BOGGESS PIPER Princeton, VV. Va.

Making footprints on the sands of time . . . He was once a private, but now he is a Looeyl And, although he isn't a Scotch- man, all you have to do to make him dance is to sing The Campbells Are Coming? Stop blushing, Piper! Piper is another good bow-and-arrow man. He is a VVest Virginia Mountaineer. He keeps his boots looking like twin ebony mirrors, running neck and neck with Iggy in this department. His room is always neat at inspection. He knows his military. To paraphrase Macbeth, Hail, worthy friend, worthy cadet! HERBERT ADDISON PORTER Bossevain, Va.

Little Herbie is that s-l-o-w-t-a-l-k- i-n-g cadet from Bossevain. He was a classy end on the varsity football team, and his slowness was forgotten while he was forward on the Colonels basket ball machine. He can be seen every 'Monday down town sporting a G sweater, of which he is rightfully proud. His favorite pastimes are algebra and English. Some people say that he has never combed his hair, but We know that he has, tfwire. He is also on the rilie team, and he is good at shooting both targets and the old bologna.
