F Q 3 GEORGE S. HINKINS George STRASBURG, VA. NEW YORK MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY George claims as his home the neighboring town of Strasburg, Vir inia. As a company commander, his clear, commanding voice produced a quici snappy cadence for the privates in his company. Bein subse uently relieved ofthe com- mand of his company, he very capably fulhllegrhe ofgce ofCadet Supply Officer. George, at present, is rather undecided as to the future. Whether to become an Admiral in Uncle Sam's navy or whether to guide the destinies of the Dollar Steamship Lines is a most important question to him Much midnight oil has been consumed while wrangling with those questions. At any rate, we ex- pect to hear from him some day. JOHN A. HINES Jack CARBONDALE, PA. PENN STATE jack is really and truly one ofthe Colonel's boys. A long time has elapsed since jack entered the portals of higher learning at Massanutten. Carbondale. Yes, it is in the coal regions of Pennsy, and Jack has brought to M.M.A. that true and much ridiculed miner talk. Due to his fatherly advice and a 100 per cent interest in all the boys' problems, he is often referred to as Fodder, which is miner talk for father. Carrying the mail fmail means footballj on those thrilling reverse plays was Iack's specialty which he did in a touchdowny man- ner. He shags baseballs in the outfield when one of M.M.A.'s pitchers slips on down the alley. If you ever hear someone murdering the King's English with Hdees, does, you'se guys, etc., look around you for jack Hines of Carbondale, Pennsylvania. WALLY B. HOFFRICHTER cawallyss DETROIT, MICH. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN And another Detroit swimmer! A more likable, friendly, sociable fellow cannot be found on the whole Massanutten campus. Wally has made up his mind to study journalism at the U. of Michigan, and we know that he cannot help but become a success. More power to him. This Detroiter is the last word, or shall we say splash, in interscholastic breast strokers. He was one ofM.M.A.'s two winners at the Nationals in Philadelphia, and we wish to congratulate him on his feat. If our sincere wishes will help him to make the Olympic team, he is the champion right now. Best ofluck, Wally. Regards to F. C293 nk THE ADJUTANT-1936

CLIFFORD H. HAHN Woodchuck PITTSBURGH, PA. PRINCETON A remarkably brilliant mind and a will to work have enabled Woodchuck to win first academic honors among the Seniors with almost monotonous reg- ularity lnclined to be very quiet when he entered Massanutten, his year here has done a great deal toward destroying his inhibitions about expressing himself. Although not a natural athlete, he was the most determined and persistent mem- ber of the ayVee football squad. He has those qualities which usually spell suc- cess In his chosen field of engineering. We predict for him success, both in col- lege life and in his work thereafter. LINUS R. HALIN Dixie TARENTUM, PA. PURDUE I-low the name of Dixie was ever acquired is beyond us, because he is not from anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line. However, he lives up to the name with his easy-going personality, but he does have a habit of passing out some very sarcastic remarks-but all in fun. ln football we can use the old proverb that, As an end, 'Dixie' made a swell halfbackf' Being very tough fphysicallyj and a deadly tackler, he should go far in football. He has a build which reminds one of an All-American quarterback. A Little Bit Independent describes Dixie in his attitude to the opposite sex. We have heard that he really and truly wears the pants in that Grace-ful love affair of his. Although Dixie has been at Massanutten for only one short year, he has made many friends and to whatever school he enters next year, we can only say-your gaing our loss. CHARLES H. HAYS ucurlyn PITTSBURGH, PA. CARNEGIE TECH joe lists his enthusiasms as building model aeroplanes, playing the saxophone and subdividing Gaul into its three parts. As a leading member of the Aeroplane Club he displayed unsuspected resources of patience and ingenuity in constructing models. l-le broke what is believed to have been the all-time endurance record- when his plane lodged in a tree! The Massanutten Dance Band owes much of its sax-appeal to Joe, and it must be conceded that he can toot sweet. This mod- est fellow of varied interests will make his mark in the world fhe made quite a few here D and we hope he flies high. THE AD UTANT-1936 lk f28j

Fy,gvi'xv- '-.r TRAMMELL H. HOLLIS GlAce19 MARTINSBURG, W.VA. UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA Endowed by nature with a resounding bass voice, one invariably listens and laughs when he speaks. As full of distinctive personality as he is of fun and love for his native Martinsburg, Ace is destined to experience an interesting future. During the autumn season his interests are concentrated on the center position on the football team, during the winter he plays a guard on the basketball team, and when spring rolls around we find him toeing the rubber and pitching the horse- hide sphere with remarkable efficiency. His place at Massanutten will be a diffi- cult one to fill when he is gone. WILLIAM E. KANE ' ' Killer' ' PLAINFIELD, NJ. UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY An lrshman and a worthy one. Whether the project be athletic or academic, the Killer can be depended upon for a conscientious and sincere effort and a re- sult which is far above the average. His athletic abilities are distributed among the three major sports with plenty for each sport. Perhaps his most outstanding performance in the field of athletics was as a regular forward on the basketball team, in which position he could be consistently relied upon for from eight to fourteen points per game. An attitude of cheerfulness and a sense of humor, which enables him to laugh even if the joke is on him, combine to make Killer one of the most likable cadets on the campus. VINCENT P. LEISEY Vince DANVILLE, PA. ' GETTYSBURG Although nature did not endow Vince with a great love for studies, yet we have found him sincere in his academic work. His athletic ability secured for him a firstfstring end position on the Junior Varsity football team and a coveted place on the basketball squad. His bass voice has certainly contributed its part toward the success of lVlajor's Glee Club. If we add to the above qualifies a con- tinual desire for a week-end at home Cwe wonder why?j, an inherent love for fun and a good practical joke, a distinctive laugh, and Qwe have heardj a bit of love- sickness, then we have a picture of Vince.', THE AD JUTANT-1936 nk qsoy
