M. I. He did good work in his classes, coming out high in the Commercial ranking, and he took an active part in athletics. making the J. V. football team and lettering in basketball. As he was only here one year, he didn't have a chance to accumulate any rank, but his interest in military work, and his general character would have quali- fied him had he stayed longer. We wish him the best of success in all his efforts to come. Company D-Private: Merit Bar: Varsity Basketball: J. V. Football. IRVING KLEMPNER Louisville, Ky.

RUFUS COLMORE LAZZELL Holden. W. Va. 'tRufe is one boy who has really made himself known around K. M. I. His chest of medals proves his many abilities, including riflery and public speaking.

As an officer, he demonstrates his powers of leadership and persuasion, and we are sure his energy and en- thusiasm for everything he does will avail him much in later life.
