Our South Bend man about town entered the school last year and made many friends in his two years. Nelse was a hard-working fullback who played with his heart in the game, and was also a camera fiend. It is widely known, as shown by his knowledge of many things in life, that Nelse gets around. WALTER P. BENDINELLI . . Ben Born 7uLv 25, I922, in Chicago, Illinois. Entered M. P. M. A. in I935from Galistel School. Private Co.

Wally was the big boy who could always be called on to plug up the hole at tackle in the line. A better assistant-head-waiter could not be found. Ben's mili- tary knowledge and leadership was rewarded by his being made first-sergeant of B Company. He was buffaloed,how- ever, by the sines, cosines, and logarithms of that arch- enemy, trig. ,E - --2 j FRANKLINA.BOWES . . . Frank Born Yune 30, 1921, in Chicago, Illinois. Entered M. P. M.

Frank was the very proficient lieutenant of D Com- pany. As a salesman he could not be surpassed, and he was accountable for most of the ads in the 1938 Skirmisher, Academy News, and several other school publications. In his spare time he was fencing instructor, besides being a most capable man with a sword himself. 1 LEE V. BRINK .... Lee Born November 25, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois. Entered M. P. M.

The band may attribute much noise and a few discords to Lee, who, nevertheless, is an able trumpeter. Then, too, he lends his talent to a bugle, so that he is heartily cursed at five minutes to six on frequent mornings. He almost always finds time to forsake his homework in his classes and study periods and cut up a bit. 1 . - 5 - L

Able leaders, great athletes, and exceptional students were products of this year's senior class. Although the upperclassmen have completed four years at M. P. M. A. with honors, a lifetime of struggle yet lies ahead of each. With the memory of their days as cadets on their minds, may the graduates pass through the trials and sorrows of an uncertain future with as much success as they had at Morgan Park, and let them remember: The Corps is proud of the Class of l939l 16 C ,,- K Y M JJ j ,Ei TI Y-f ..
