THE l93l SKIRMISH ER MAJOR EDWARD BOUMA Commandant Major Bouma is the man who has charge of all cadet life. Whenever anyone has to report himself the major wants to know why. He is loved by all the cadets and has much to do with the smooth running of things and the happiness of the school. He is always full of pep and en- thusiasm, whether it be for the minstrel show or a football pep-meeting. CAPT. CARL E. DRIGGERS P. M. S. 69' T. In Ca tain Driggers the cadets find a real backer ogthe school. Because of his loyalty the junior Class has chosen him as their adviser. Through Captain Driggers' leadership the school obtained the honor rating. CAPT. j. W. GREENMAN Curator Captain Czreenman came to us as a faculty officer from the Board of Trustees after the death of Major Wilde. Soon he won the ad- miration of many cadets for his kind nature. He has done much already in the beautifying of the campus and his interest in these matters is to such an extent that he even got out on the tennis courts and did some hard labor himself. CAPT. HERMAN MAYHEW Principal of the Lower School Captain Mayhew has had the supervision of the Lower School in his hands for many years. Graduates have a particular high regard for this man who was practically their first instructor in this great institution. His kindly nature and patient disposition are just the thing needed for the development of the younger boy. All through the years the Lower School graduates have stood out and this has been mostly due to this man's work. CAPT. jOHN DEGRANDPRE Acting Quartermaster Captain DeGrandpre, our new quartermaster, has proven himself capable of handling the finances and meals of the school. Besides being quartermaster he is also tactical officer of A Company through which he is associated with the cadets, who look up to him with much re- spect. He is an important factor in the military life and is one of the real reasons why A Company was honor company last year. 22 1 jf t t 'UTARACADE ll t k
