K A Musical Clubs QL, 3, Q, ljg Corporal For four years has Gordon blown his way to fame and triumph, begin- ning with the blatty cornet, hc has since mastered most of the brass in- struments of the gold-bricking outfit. He is one of those quiet fellows who takes great delight curling up in the bunk and sending forth a volume of sweet silver music. Practice ever makes perfect and the demand for Gordon's services in orchestras proves that he is recognized and anyone who listens in for a few moments can easily discern the big noise of the musical aggregate.

In the military his climb has included every step of the ladder, recruit, cor- poral, sergeant, and last the spurs and the bucking strap. Bertie is one of the main-springs of Paul's staff of efficiency experts--the corps pea- shooter inspector. And when he makes his debut into the world we are con- fident of the result. But there will always be an empty place at N. U. for those who knew him.
