One of the most studious persons on the campus, T will be remembered more for his stormy relations with the military department. He also played baseball for his entire four years at the Academy, being a manager in his off seasons for the other teams. Tom's friendly spirit and modest manner make him friends galore, while his distinctive way of saying Animal Crackers made him a hit at the annual Minstrel Show.

In the middle of the year, Mac took over the duties of First Sergeant in the Band. He can do more than blow his horn when it Comes to military.

If it were not for an unfortunate broken wrist, Mac', would have had a chance to make an even better showing than he did in football. As it was, he acted as a mainstay for Major Bouma's track team, but another injuryffor- tunately later in the seasonekept him out of parts of several of the basketball games. Notwithstanding, he was a star in this sport. GEORGE D. MOORE . .. 7.453 PE Born September 16, 1919, ic li ' 'red M. P. M. A. in 19.34fro n Hi c Private Co.

Po is the leader of our swing band. He acts as the accordian player and crooner, also. His antique car is the butt of many jokes, but he defends it by saying we should have respect for the aged. The football team will be at a loss without his playing next year. Many people will miss his lively conversation. JULIUS KERN . . . 'fIAY Born May 2, 1919, in Gaty, Indiana. Entered M. P. M.

He has served only one year at the Academy, but it is evident that he didn't need four to become a good soldier and a true lVIOrgan Park cadet. Occasionally he and the fellow who follow in the next writegup have had disagreements with outsiders in which the outsiders had several large dents as a result. ' K GEORGE' A.

The big, juicy chevrons on Stony-Puss's arms are not his only reason for popularity with the frail gender of the species. Two years in a row he has earned a letter in heavy football. There are few who are his equal when the target range is reached and firing commences. Our Battalion Com- mander started out his military career with four years in the Lower School, the last one of which witnessed a pair of captain's chevrons on his sleeves. 1 Qlviilf ,-y,fy'4-41.

He was always the life ot' the partyn no matter where he happened to be. Besides holding up the line from the guard position, he managed to always be on the bottom ofthe pile when the whistle blew. We are glad to hear that he has succeeded so far in college. lHl SKIHMISHlH
