TAFF RTAJOR PAUL O. FRANSON, P.M.S. and T. The second to none standing the Academy now enjoys in military is due mainly to the continual work of Major Franson. The entire time the Major has been here the school has been rated as an Honor Military Academy. Our Rifle Team, Grenadiers, Cavaliers, and the Radio Club have found a sponsor that will not let them produce anything but the best results. We are certain that the man who replaces Major Franson next ylear can not more faithfully live up to the Duty, Honor, Country on our s ield. KTAJOR EDWARD BOUMA, Commandant The coach of our successful fighting Lights and the track team has his primary job as Commandant. He manages to administer discipline and still retain the good feeling of all the cadets. His resoureefulness was demonstrated by his putting on the Minstrel Show one year all by himself. At present he sponsors it. The Major's pep talks are famous, LXTAJOR JOHN DEGRiXNDPRE, Quartzrmafter Here is a man who manages to get things done and at the same time preserves a cheerful, genial feeling among the cadets under him. Major De Grandpre teaches French III and junior Military. He is also our quartermaster and the plumpness on the part of a cadet may be attributed to the fact that the Major is also in charge of the mess hall. XTR. TJUGH G. PRICE, NIA., Principal Doubtlessly there is no man on the campus who is more active than Mr. Price. Besides having the duties of Principal, Freshman Dean and Chem teacher, he is the Alumni Association secretary and, among many other things, is responsible for the vocational guidance work going on about the campus. He is also the adviser for the Guardians. CAPTAIN J. W. CSREENMAN, Curator The reason for the fine condition of our lawns is our Curator. He usually personally supervises all the campus work and is respected by all those who come in Contact with him. ft Lg ,Ark xx F t ,...t Q , , t -mom A-. P -:P MEQTWN 4 Q XX l 4 X, , xv

The usual immunity to learning is gradually worn down and rare indeed is the boy who has not acquired something in the way of math. Captain Gray is an ardent sports fan and can almost always be seen at the Academy games. He is, also, a basketball player is his own right. His sense of' humor will stand out in most cadet's minds long after they have graduated from the Academy. CAPTMN Rox' S. TXTCTNTOSH, MA. lt would be harder to find a Latin teacher with greater ability any- where than Captain Mclntosh. The ancient Roman weapons he has constructed aid greatly in his teaching and have been displayed at many meetings and conventions of Latin teachers. His stories do much to liven up the class periods. C.xP'r.x1N Cluoacm A. Klauox The success this year of our heavy football team may be attributed in a large measure to the efforts ot' Captain Mahon. He also coaches both basketball teams and the baseball team. As faculty adviser for the Emblem Club, he has helped it to rise to greater importance, and deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the Football Dance. Captain Mahon teaches Plane Geometry and Physics and is the sophomore dean. Ci P'r.x1N glicax I.. rli.-XYLOR The publication of the Academy News and its rise to the position it now occupies may be traced mainly to Captain Taylor. His interest in photography has led him to organize the Camera Club and, under his guidance, a great deal of interest has been created. His modern methods of teaching English and History have done much to make his classes in- teresting. The sound system at the football games owes its conception to the present announcer. Xia. EIAMES If. C,xsMiER The peck and punch boys of Mr. Casmier's typing classes and his Spanish and French students appreciate his subtle wit and his gouges at cadets. There is no one who will doubt his ability as a linguist and student of modern languages, continually travelling during his vacations to further improve his mastery of the various languages. The unearthly sqawks of his new phonograph playing symphonies did much to keep Lt. Kurz from restful slumber.
