A faithful Servant Seldom in the course of life does one find people who go out of their way to find work or to serve others. Far too many go out of their path to avoid work or to evade those who might ask them for some slight favor. Because of these facts, the sponsor feels called upon to present the qualities of an individual who constantly seeks opportunity to serve in any way possible, and from an official standpoint he is not connected with the Okla- homa Military Academy, so far as his W?l.1' Department orders go. Staff Sergeant John Fruhbauer has a record of many years' service to his country. He entered the United States Army in 1916, and went to France as a member of the First Machine Gun Battalion, First Division, in 1917. No necessity exists for any mention of that organization, for every one is familiar with the noble record of the indomitable First Division from the very beginning of our part in the Vilorld NVar to its close. And one of those who helped to make that record John Fruhbauer. Orders of the Vllar Department took him to various stations until 1925, when he was sent to the Oklahoma Military Academy as Instructor for the 120th Ordnance CMD Company of the 45th, Division. This unit was made up principally of academy cadets, but it was in no way an official part of the academy. But Sergeant Fruhbauer is not the type to do only the work laid out for him, he seeks still more ways of serving. Accordingly, he offered himself to the authorities of the school and to the officials of the city for any assignments they might care to give him. He has taught military theory classes at the school, has served constantly with the Claremore Chamber of Commerce, and is now Commander of the MeKiney-Mont- gomery Post of the American Legion, which he served also as Adjutant before his elevation. Truly, the Writer has never seen any individual who lived up to the lines of Foss, as given below, any better than does Staff Sergeant John Fruhbauer, United States Army: U Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by- The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl the cynic 's ban- liet me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.
