When Nasty left Clarendon, the population decre'ased about ten per cent. How his parents were able to pant with him when he left for school it is hard to see. We know we shall be losing at conimencement one of the best boys that ever slept through reveille at the Insti- tute. Outside of giving him credit for boosting everything the school has ever done, and a few things the school didrjt do, there isn't much to say for Bain. EUGENE B. BACA Santa Fe, New Mexico Gene, Tubacco Three years. Rabbit, 1923-24 Corporal, 1924. Sergeant, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant 1925-26. Auto-rifle Marksman, Swordsman, Pis- tol Expert. This isn't a picture of a sponsor, but of G Troop's junior officer. You can tell by the uniformg. That curly hair and those laughing, Winsome, wonderful eyes that any girl might envy, may cause one at first to be mistaken. Aside from good looks, Tub'acco's out-standing characteristic is his package of ever- juice chewing gum, from which he never parts. It has been estimated by stat- isticians that power wasted in chewing gum for one year is sufficient to drive a locomotive to the sun and back. If that is the case Gene has consumed enough to be qualified for the position of engineer on the train. Baca is to-ne of the most popular of cadets. We hope that when he leaves he'll not forget us, for he is one of the men whom we will always remember. G0t' ne' gum? But his activities in the capacity of cheer Q , .l leader, sports editor for the Maverick Q . and Bronco, and general booster, have 1 made his services invaluable to athletics. , 1 Bain has been a hard worker in all fs ' gi things, and leaves the school the better . . for his having been a cadet. bfpw K' Ever hear the story of- '- 5 -SQ 26 E4 Page Eleven

During Atwood's four years as a cadet the Institute has not had a more loyal or enthusiastic supporter. The honors and distinctions that .the faculty and corps have heaped upon him have been just rewards for his -services. It is useless to go over the l1st of offices ln which his efforts have been utilized, for we have always known him as the busiest man in the corps. We hope that they are, in part, an evidence of the trust and confldence we have always placed in him, and which we place in his future. Jack leaves us taking with him the respect that all have for a true gentleman and sport. I'ZZ be ct nigger policeman- Page Ten GRANT S. ANDERSON Los Angeles, California KIGMSII Four years.

Anders'on's cadet life has been one of glorious results. He has been in demand in all activities in which sustained effort and responsibility are necessary. He is esteemed by corps and faculty alike. He is an efficient officer, and he has the good will of every cadet. Whatever fu- ture he contemplates, he may resft as- sured that he has their best wishes for his success. ' Wake up, mistefrlf!

Tom, we can't say all we want to about you, your class history has taken too mu-ch space. But we think, and do say, that for sportsmanship, pole-vault- ing, .soldiering ability, and hardheaded- ness, you 'are supreme! If you were to ask us what profession you should adopt, we would say, drop medicine and take up poker. A man with a face like yours could make a fortune at it. And one thing more-before you quit the Insti- tute for Stanford-what is all this we hear about you and a certain fair one? Good luck, old-timer, study hard, and accept our honest and sincere admira- tion. Now, Petic boy, dowft get rough! Page Twelve . ? 1 tg Q' S WILLIS U.

Hongry is too likeable to be spoken of in any terms other than those of admiration. His dry, but biting, wit is a cease- less source of entertainment. Those caustic comments in class make educa- tion almost enjoyable, his corrections on the drill field urge the slower ones to step lively, and in barracks--well, it's worth an admission charge to learn all about Steve and the Artesia lock-up. Hongry's popularity is easily under- stood. You meet him, you like him, and you dislike the idea of losing him. We wish him a rich future, and hope that separation may not obliterate friendships formed here. Buja,c and I- 1 1 i 9 A be 5' . 29 53 . ' Q- azgq 5 igax .. xy J nnli ' ,Qi
