He is very quiet and reserved, but manages to get around . It is rumored that many of the local lassies know Frank, or is it that he knows them? His one claim to fame is his ability to sleep through Chemistry. PRIMO P. COLIANNI . . PAUL Born Augu.vt13, 1918, in Minneapolir, Minnesota. Entered M. P. M. A. in 1936 from Ooh Park High School.

As the room-mate of the infamous Howell, we can't help but admire Primo's courage. VVILLIAM A. CUNNINGHAM . B1LL,' Born liebruargv 9, 1919, in Salem, lfVi.feonsin. Entered M. P. M.

However, he has made up for the loss of his presence by sending us letters telling about aviation life, and things. His cheerful countenance is gone in D Company, where he was a lieutenant, and the loss causes us to realize that it is cadets such as he was that help to put Morgan Park ahead. VVILLIAM COST . . .

The amiable Lanky Kid has made an enviable record for himself at M. P. lVl. A.

When Dune is around, there is usually good cheer. Like most chubby lads, he is cheerful, and doesn't seem inclined to griping . This ability to take things with a grin is the true attribute of the Morgan Park Spirit. In addition to this, he has collected letters in football and and is always out for some sport. DUVA1. .

The success of the Flying Quaker Cthe model gas air- plane1 and its successor are due largely to the efforts of this boy. He can often be seen puttering around with one of the diminuitive put-put engines that power his fine model planes. The rifle team has found him valuable in many matches. He has been with us for only two years-too bad it couldn't have been longer. hN'vILI,IAlXl C. FLEMING . , HBILI.,, Born February 21, 1921, in Chicago, Illinois. Entered M. l'. M.

The fine work that Bill did on the SKIRMISHER last year as Editor-in-Chief has been an inspiration and help to this YCZIFTS staff. Even if he has not been asked, Bill seems to always have something to say. He delights in arguments. He has but lately been admitted to the Jon- athan Buffer Club.
