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.
