cH1cAoo ILLINOIS ROBERT BORCHARDT Lem must like the junior class. He has been attending its meetings for the past two years. Bob , as he is more commonly known, loves to play the guitar, much to the disgust of second floor south. FRANKLIN A. BOWES Frank is the fencing instructor at the Academy, and a very expert swordsman. It might be said that he and two other cadets are the Three Musketeers. Besides this activity, he is a very busy member of the Academy News staff. L E E B R I N K Brink is a member of that very unpopular group of cadets known as buglers. Rooming with little Hobart Van Deventer may have had a weird influence on him, who knows? MIKE CRONEVICH Mike is a newcomer to the school, having enrolled in February. He seems to know a good deal about poetry, as anybody in Capt. Taylor's English class will admit. Outside of that, I don't know what he is good for. Maybe his room-mate knows, there still are doubts. ROBERT DEVEREAUX His favorite occupation is to cut up in third period study hall and give Capt. Taylor premature gray hair Cif this is possible, as his crop is not over-abundantl. Capt. Taylor reprimands him and as soon as his back is turned, Bob is at it again. G E O R G E D E W E Y The Alien hails from Lima, Peru which is, by the way, a city in South America. CFor further details see your local newspaperj With his bearskin hat and big baton, he is the reason that the girls come to see the Sunday parades. In addition, he is a knight of the shutter. AUGUST DISPENSA Gus is one of those loafers who joined the band in order to get out of study hall on Thursday night. Now that Major Bouma is looking for fast track men, August said it was too bad that we didn't have Adam on our team, he was the first in the race, wasn't JESSE T. FERGUSON Since when does Fergie's mother attend the Morgan Park High School? There was an urgent 'phone call for him one day during school from his mother. Jessie T. was to call a certain number. The number was that of the High School, and Mrs. Ferguson, when asked, knew nothing of it. In his spare time, Sugie wraps his Dad's Ford around a lamp-post. A L F R E D F E R R A Ferra is our versatile ivory pounder and crooner. He has singitus in an oversized dose. Upon nearing his vicinity, one hears sweet melodies being emitted from his larnyx. He has music on what little brain that he has. FREDERICK FLOTT Chevrons is Capt. Mahon's physics prodigy. He has the problems solved before the Captain puts them on the board. Some say that he's a geniusf others say differently. Fred almost cut his ear off with his sword. Maybe it was no accident, he probably wanted to be a hero and, at the same time, improve his looks. he? K 'k D i I ,,a 'lr 5 X 56 w-T3 IW l mn v .W L.,-1 , Q W H P' '52 N 9 Xu Q t 'wg Y -1 'f Sfiu r.

Studies, activities, and mainly-the IQ38 Skirmisher. The ambi- tion of the class to have this yearis book better than any other has been somewhat frustrated by the lack of advertising. Franklin Bowes, the advertising manager, and Paul Leopold, the editor, have been doing their level best. The junior class has other major undertakings. They must give the Senior Class the junior-Senior Prom-fa present to the First Classmen for the fine leader- ship the latter have displayed in the past year. The class must furnish the Academy teams with players capable of taking over the out-going seniors' places. Next year, they Will be the Senior Class and the Cadet Corps officers group will be composed of them in its entirety. Kill

H E N R Y F R E N C K Frenck is one of those maniacs of the advanced school who delight in sticking people with sharp pencils and then laughing. Measurements have been taken for a strait-jacket and it has been ordered for him but there is still the problem of getting him into it. JACK GALLAGHER At morning school formation, Major Bouma has to use an infra-red light to pierce the clouds around Shortie's head in order to see if he has washed his neck. Someone gave him the hot-foot two weeks ago, and he hasn't felt it yet. I O H N G R E E N E R John Thomas fthat famous man mountainj is a wrestler. His opponents do not enjoy their bouts with the human steam roller for, when he gets off of them, they are usually very Hat, occasionally, con- HARRY GUSTAFSON Gussies's biggest disappointment of the year was when the Illinois Central Railroad wouldn't let him ride in the cab of the locomotive on the way to New Orleans. He had planned to blow the whistle at every good-looking girl he saw. WALLACE HANNUM Last fall, Hannum entered the Academy after two year's attendance at another school. It didn't take him long to make friends among his day student compatriots. His pals say, Watch him in football next year . The question is, Do what? . CHVC. CHARLES HASELY Little Charlie has grown up. From the small, squeaky voiced boy of last year he has become a six footer with a real he'man's voice. Today he is a man he told his girl. There is no doubt that she doubts it. B U R T O N H E D A When Burt graduates, Capt. Gray will lose one of his favorite subjects for remark, as well as one of his famous Keen Kutters . R A L P H H I T Z Ralph started squiring the ladies 'way back in Eighth Grade, so that by now he is just a trifle bored with social life, unless, of course, it happens to be any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night of the week. ROBERT HUGHES Entering the Academy from Missouri, Bobby was a quiet, shy, little violet, but he blossomed during the year only to find that his particular type of humor met with the disapproval of his chemistry teacher. The latter handled the situation in his own inimitable manner. ROBERT HURLBUT What funny habits this cadet has-sleeping in his full dress on the night of the High School Military Balll Perhaps he was merely trying to get so he could dream about the dance, but Mr. Bollman thought dilferently. Bob is also responsible for the sports writeups in the Academy News. 30 K 'kD
