Oscar comes to us from the great city of Socorro, which, we have been told, has a wonderful billiard hall-with checker tables, pop stand n' everythin'l He is one of the most promising sheiks on the Hill. It's been said that when the members of the fair sex look upon his noble figure, they sigh and say' with pathetic voice: He'.s tall, sweet, and slender, has a heart-but doesn't lend 'er. In two short years he has made good. You'll find him on the appointment sheet, he is one of our four basketball stars, and digs a mean pair of spikes into the cinder path. Luck to you fel- er.

B1ooey's sole ambition has been to make every man on the Hill his friend. In this, he has certainly succeeded, as evidenced by his wide popularity. In his troop, he is held in esteemg in bar- racks, fhe is exceptionally well liked, on the athletic field, he is admired for his honesty and sportsmanship. In a word, he is a man that has made good in everything he has undertaken. He leaves us this year to pursue higher knowledge in Texas, where men are men 1 and women are governors. It is hoped that he does this-but there is a young lady to whom he is entirely devoted, and the possible may develop inevitable. Hi, boy! into the -2 S S9 A be v !

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. BARNES Oxford, Kansas Friday, Hong1'y Three and one half years. Rabbit, 1922-23 Sergeant, 1923-24. Out, 1925. First Lieutenant 1926. Rifle Sharpshooter, Pistol Sharpshoqter Final Ball Committee, 1924. The truth should be told about bad boys, but in this particular case we plead exemption. 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

Decoration Committee Final Ball, 1925. In Christian we have a quiet and retiring boy who has been among us for two years, accomplishing a great deal without having had much to say about it. He goes about his work in an unassuming way, always putting his best efforts into whatever he is' doing. These efforts have caused him to rank high academically, and have brought him a responsible position on the Bronco Staff, as well as success in the military depart- ment. Chris is one of those men who can be relied upon at all times, and it is a pleasure to work with him. Wherever he is next year, we hope that he may have many acquaintances, and that they m-ay appreciate his friendship as much as have we. Hello, Sheik Page Fourteen WILLIAM FREDERICK CARVELL, JR. Wiliniington, Delaware Woolie , Bill Three years. Rabbit, 1923-24. Sergeant, First Sergeant, 1924-25, First Lieutenant, Captain. 1925-26. Auto-rifle and Mounted Pistol Expert, Rifle and Dismounted Pistol Marksman, Swords- man. Honor Board, 1925. Polo, 1924-25-26. Final Ball Committee, 1925. It has always been the passion and desire of every physics bug on the Hill to find out just where CarVel1's center of gravity is. Here is a man that can fall off a horse under every conceivable circumstance, and at any time. Ordinarily, he does it daily. Bill plays -a wonderful game of polo, and is one of our best equestrians. His support of the Institute polo team has been unfaltering, and the credit for a very successful season is largely due to him. VVe appreciate your excellent work, Woolie, and wish that you could remain with us. Yo'u,'re too little. I Qi il Q l M N l I s . ,la V3 'Wi -NM ' Lie' 26 Q.: 5 6
