There is no use trying to give a word pic- ture of that qualityg it beggars any description. The best effort we can make in that direction is to pic- ture the one who has demonstrated those qualities in our behalf. To Colonel H. Torn Kight, Sr., we dedicate the 1938 Guidon as a token of appreciation for the leadership he has exercised in our behalf from the day he introduced the bill which created our school, up to the present moment. The school stands as an eternal monument .to his farsighted statesman- ship. COLONEL H. TOM KIGHT, SR. Y Nffrrn GOVERNOR E. W. MARLANID Hmirman of lhw Board of Regents in Ten COLONEL H.

Army X The Regimental Staff Organizing a regiment of cadets, half of whom are entirely strange to the system at the very outset of school is no small task to put in the lap of a college youth of Sophomore standing, but such is the responsibility of the cadet colonel each September. In the case of the present corps, it fell to the lot of Cadet Colonel Iohn I. Uackj McCaFferty. With no intent to detract from the laurels of previous regimental commanders, the statement may rightly be made that MISS MARY FRANVES FORNETT lit-gilm-litall Sponsor Colonel McCafferty has made one of the most efficient leaders ever to di- rect the cadet regiment. In the person of Lieutenant Colonel Kyle E. Ball he had a plans and training officer who put plenty of push on the wheel Another valuable cog in the machine was Lieutenant Colonel Emory Buddy' Hickman, Executive Officer. Other members of the regimental stall were: Captain Robert H. Richarz, Adjutant Captain William B. Lanning, Supply Officer Warrant Officer Robert Lawrence Stall Sergeant Proctor E. Phillips Stall Sergeant Stanley I.

M. A. Cavalry. As a mere slip of a lad of fourteen summers, he was enrolled in the sophomore year of high school five years ago. Having that native love for horses, he chose the cavalry unit for his military affiliation at a time when the infantry was MISS BONNIE BIRRYHILL Sl 1 S1 1' also available for training of youth. That Cadet Major Iames R. Spurrier should have attained that rank by dint of his adapt- ability is no surprise to those who know this genial son of the Redskins. Strange as the combination might seem, an original Infantryman in the person of First Lieutenant Iohn M. Uackj Kates is the efficient Adjutant of this dashing squadron of troopers, which may account for some of the soldiering. The size of the personnel in the two troops was an outstanding feature of the organization, for all the husky athletes belonged to Troops A and B. Thus it was necessary that efficiency on the part of the officers be a factor offsetting physical proportions. If the troopers of this squadron stand out in later life as they have during this school year, a rosy future is ahead of them. I r--- -- v ..-.-.. , w Eighteen if silt 1 , 'fe j .- 5 4 l 3 L .. .

In other words, Ioe Ed Day was born a Gentleman. One might start philosophizing a bit and come out with the sally that he is a Scholar, a Gentleman, and a judge of Beautiful Women. This duo of troops un- , , INIISS BIYRA NVHITESIDF der Major Day's command was considered Sfumdwn Sponsor by the Regimental Commander to be the basic units of his command. They were right there at all times, delivering the telling blows where needed. One had only to watch the lines of Troop D as they stepped by the reviewing stand, to recognize the quality contained in the Second Squadron. The Adjutant of this organization is a quiet, unassuming specimen of humanity who causes one to remember that Still Water Runs Deep. First Lieutenant Kaye D. Dawson was always ready with the right answer when the laurels of the squadron might be in need of support. On War Board examination he saved the face of the group in many instances 5 and, after all, when the leaders of a group deliver the goods in such excellent fashion, there just can't be any way for efficiency to be lacking. These two Tulsa products made a good team, the one balancing the other on the needed side. Twenty-one G :U A ix I ii Troop 'C 64 71 Troop D -. -f I KWH. , I was H321 .,, li Wil ' ' A W ' ' The Third Squadron The most unusual combination on The Hill is the composition of the third squadron, both as to officers and troop per- sonnel. In the first place, Troop E is a band on occasions other than at the drill period, and no one denies that it is the best band of its type in the entire state. When EL group of men play music one period and trooper the next, those men must be versa- tile, to say the least. Troop F is the group of youngsters who are too young to be en- MISS DOROTHY LOVISE HELTON Sllll2ifll'0ll Sponsor rolled in the R. O. T. C. under Federal Rules. Many times these pee wees put on a better parade than their older brothers of the recognized R. O. classifica- tions. lt,s too bad that chronological age bars many who are mentally ahead of some who are farther advanced in the study of martial matters. Commanding this squadron is a bandman who started out as an Infan- tryman, switched to the Cavalry, and rose through the various grades to the rank of Cadet Major-Eugene Bavinger. It was a good selection, for who might better have understood the temperamental technique of a troop of musical troopers? A quiet, unassuming 'LDutchman,' who is finishing his third year in the corps, Albert Kushner, is the adjutant of this truly outstanding squadron. A royal pair of leaders for any group! ' 'H Twenty-four lv A .Ll ,f I K I V i A' Troop if 'fs Troop F The Band We'll put this gang of cadet musicians up against any school band in the United States when it comes to judging a marching band as well as a musical unit, and we don't be- lieve we would have to take back water one bit about their being on top of the heap. On the go more than any similar organization of which we have any knowledge, they re- spond to requests from civic clubs, patriotic organizations, and all state functions.

Thiriy-0116 The Drum and Bugle Corps Every man presumably looks forward to the pleasures of that after life, in which he pictures everything of a blissful natureg a land literally flowing in milk and honey, a haven from trials, troubles, tribulations, woes, griefs, worries . . . and buglersl In the cold gray dawn of a clammy winter morn, with the covers tucked Well in around a head which is snuzzled deep in the warmth of a downy pillaw, and with dreams trickling through a peaceful brain in pleasant picture form, what sleeping soldier has not wanted to put muz- zle-burst fuses in each shell and turn loose the combined fire of a battery of 155's on a Doogie Band which blatantly booms forth its brrrumpp bump bump in blasting fury! The consoling feature about the whole thing is the fact that these riot raisers do it well! Their booming bombast bounces from their bunks the sleepy heads who might otherwise beat the reveille roll call, thereby bringing down upon their heads the wrath and demerits of the disciplinary department. So, after all, perhaps these burglars of sleep are worth something to their compatriots.

First Class Corporal BOYD AIRHART Chink Here is a man who goes to towng not for his personal pleasure, but to give the Gals a treat. Boyd is quiet and always tends to his own business, but refuses to be rubbed the wrong way. Of course, he could not be called industrious, but when there is work to be done he is always will- ing to call a 'SRabbit to tell some one to relieve him of the burden. He was never known to the 4'Bull Ring until his presum- ably legitimate enterprises ran afoul of the Financial Secretary. A firm believer in and a staunch advocate of the afternoon siesta, which he maintains is not a symptom of sleeping sickness, but an old tradition, he even polishes ofl bars of Makovsky in that stellar musical aggregation, the Band, with an enigmatic countenance. Chink became as much a part of cadet life as the blasts of the bugle. Staff Sergeant JACK BAKER Benzedine Neat in everything he does, Benze- dine's attraction for the opposite sex is proved by that orderly stack of well-scented letters he preserves in his desk drawer for assuring perusals. And with just such as- surance and self-confidence, he drags down those nearly perfect military grades. fThe Dean, when making out the Honor Roll, merely scans Iack's record to verify the straight A's.j To the Chemistry classmates he is the Acid Demonf' but in any congre- gation he is an outstanding personality. It goes without saying that he is a sparkling member of the stall. The fact that he holds a second alternate's designation for the Naval Academy attests his intelligence . . . But we still wonder just how much assur- ance there can be in those Stillwater epistles. Thirty-fl11'f'r' my r First Class Lieutenant Colonel KYLE E. BALL Tattlel ' Five years ago a very young boy came to O. M. A. and joined the band company. Today this same young man is the Plans and Training Officer of the Regiment. His switch from the Infantry to the Cavalry had little effect upon him, other than to demon- strate his ability to handle himself under all conditions. His promotions upward have been merited on the basis of strict efficiency. His versatility is proved at every dance, where one may find him behind a moaning saxophone in the orchestra, giving forth his share of the rhythm. His ever-present smile is a magnet which draws him friends, and we see no need for wishing him luck in later life, for we are sure of his success. Six feet and six inches of swell fellow is the best description of Bill Barrett. His tre- mendous size is balanced, fortunately, by an I? Sergeant WILLIAM BARRETT, JR. Wild Bill agreeable, complaisant personality. Slender fingers enable him to tickle the ivories in swing time, and we shall not soon forget how he brought down the housel' by swinging out on the Stars and Stripes For- ever. His altitude has snatched victory from fires of defeat for the cadets on the basketball court on many an occasion, his rangy arms shooting out, rapier like, to take the ball away from an opponent. He never fails to give protection to the needy Rabbits in the college wing . . . nor does he ever let down the Skiatook Skirts who are both the joy and despair of his existence. He controls the cadence of the cadet corps, for it is his booming beat of the base drum which echoes across the drill Held. Many moons will pass before O. M. A. beholds another more admirable than Wild Bill. , i 0 4 Yi - f .Q 5.. Thirty-four First Class F.. , Major EUGENE A. BAVINGER Jeep Here is another of the four five-year- men who is leaving after many years of honest toil and study. From Captain Kel- ley's band this ever jolly young man is going to be missed, just as he was missed by the members of Troop E when he was promoted to command the squadron. Gene has borne the brunt of many jokes during his time on the hill, but he has always come through with that devil-may-care smile. With l1is good qualities of friendliness and good cheer he has become a friend of every cadet and faculty member. As a very small boy he had to overcome a small boy's trou- bles in a big school. The fact that he gained promotions from year to year, and that he wound up as commanding officer of the Third Squadron is evidence of his having overcome those troubles. 9 Corporal EDDIE BESHA HA A master in the art of sophistry, liddie has more than once circumvented the bull ring by his omnipresent cleverness. He was not satisfied with having inherited the titles of Hamburger King, Prince of Pawnsf' and Candy Kaiser from his older broth- er, he wanted physical recognition also, and he gained it as one of the pony backs on the varsity, in spite of his live feet-six physique. During his Rabbit year, liddie's inherent orneriness was somewhat suppressed by the elder brother, but in this past year he has even usurped the swaggering Buns title of Major Domo of Alton Arms. His avoca- tions in the shadows of the barracks prompted Postmaster Guild to suggest that he hang three gold balls above his door. He has the L'hustle,', and full credit for that can't be denied. K A Q ,f H1 .f 1- t T11 irty-fi rr wr 'Zami L r 's if . 4-My QW First Class Lieutenant GEORGE CAUDILL Smiley George is a third year man who shot up through the ranks like a comet to be- come a First Lieutenant of Troop C. Capa- ble leader that he is, he led his platoon through many an intelligent battle. As a quick and decisive thinker, he earned his buttons fairly, and he was well liked by new and old men alike, for he played no favorites. His domicile was that ever famil- iar Suicide Alley, where he held forth in his philosophical atmosphere. When he was kidded severely after having been caught in the act of giving a very lingering thirty- minute good-night kiss, George quickly re- sponded: A man must have at least one bad quality to offset his many good onesf, Such is the extreme modesty of this fearless platoon leader, whose place will be no small task to fill. Corporal NEAL CHEEVER Laundry Noted for his free-wheeling walk and knee-action run, Laundry's popularity is by no means confined to his troop or even to the hill, as the classy Claremore Femmes will attest. Nealis lady friends daily drove up almost to his abode within the O. D. House, and from the close proximity of his threshold they enjoyed the irresistible smile which always Hashed their way. Re- garded as one of the shining lights of Colo- nel Bryan's class, 'LLaundry prepared his lessons during C. Q., despite a severe case of roomateisrn. A bewildered cadet corps was nonplussed once when Neal's abilities along organizational lines were so ostenta- tiously paraded in the announcement that The exacting Captain Smart's Non-RO Troop F has been selected as Honor Troop if for the week, because of their excellent conduct and near-perfect drill. Yes, we Mgishall miss Neal Laundry Cheeverl Thirty-sia: First Class Warrant 0ITice1' HERMAN COLSTUN Staff Sergeant EDGAR CURRY Heian Not L'H0iman the Pug but Herman the pugilistl The coming welterweight champ! The boy who kayoed four oppo- nents in four successive nightsl During the recent Golden Gloves Tournament, state newspapers carried such headlines as: Colston Flattens Opponent In First Round. Colston, Champion Boxer and Champion Good Fellow. Easy to get along with, pleasant and agreeable under all circumstances, Herman is perhaps one of the best liked cadets in the corps. His per- fection qualities are not confined to the squared circle, however, for he is one of the most slashing guards ever to represent the academy on the gridiron. With his depar- ture this year, a distinct gap will be left in the cadet corps, as well as in that stone- wall line. His shoes are going to be hard to fill. Erlrlie Here is one of those quiet, reserved boys who proved to be deadly in the accum- ulation of straight A grades in the academic Held, and who was able, in two years, to make the grade of Staff Sergeant through his work in the military department. His faithfulness helped in the making of a good record for Troop E, and his musical talent in the hand was always obvious. So supe- rior has been his work in the classrooms that memory of him will linger long among the faculty officers and the men who remain in the corps. His future is positively set along the line which points only to a suc- cessful career, and in passing on the way, Sergeant Corey carries the best wishes of the graduating class.

CRUME VVooCly The Commanding Officer of Troop D and a very capable leader, as you can see by the progress of that troop since he has taken command. A four-year-man who, in his own inimitable way, has found a way into the hearts of each cadet on the I-Iillf' A good night's entertainment was to get the Captain laughing, and one would won- der if he would come out of it alive. A great believer in psychology of men, he practiced it every day. Sometimes he would lose, and then at other times he would see it work out for him, and would give his antagonistic jeerers his sorry, wry grin, then throw his chin in the air and walk away. Captain Crume will be missed by his men in his troop, his close friends, and the rest of the Cadet Corps. They all wish him the most whole-hearted good luck. LIEUTPINANT KAYE D, DAWSON Coon A four-and-a-half-year man who has, if anyone on the Hill has, taken it squarely on the Chin. Always having to get what he got by hard work, Kaye enrolled as an Infantryman when he first came to this institution, and when the school was changed to a complete Cavalry school, trouble began-Lt. Dawson and horses couldn't seem to get along, but just as he worked in the class room, on the drill Held, and in gaining the respect of his fellow of- ficers, he worked to master the mounts. And finally, as his last year appeared, he became master and gained position as sec- ond in command in the Second Squadron. Trying as Lt. Dawson has tried, civilian life will find him plugging. - 9 ', ........, 'f' T' 1 Q on v ' .i sr 10, Q: - - .OL li .s Thirty-eight ffl-gfa.q..,b ,..,, .wildly J .A 's First Class 7 X CAPTAIN JOE ED DAY STAFF SERGICANT VVILLIAM DELONG A1Wz1ysHMyra Leader of the Second Squadron, a four- year-man, and three-year member of the Polo team. These speak commendable facts for Captain Day. Although some- times his heart was in the near vicinity of Washington, D. C., Captain Day tried hard to bear up under this extreme hardship and carry on for the sake of his Squadron. The eflort that he put out all year long made his fellow oilicers wonder with envy, the source of this effort. Always accepted in a bull session be- cause of his flash play, he is master of the art-the one and only-the bellowifzg laugh!! lt could carry not less than one mile. He could make a sour joke good, make a sorry picture show wonderful, a rot- ten lyceum number perfect, merely by his chuckle. That, if nothing else, will linger in the memories of the First O. M. A. Cav- alry of 1938. Happy A smiling, happy-go-lucky young man who has faced the world so far with a grin, and the chances are big that he will keep up this gay outlook on life. He has made more friends in his two years than there are miles to his home at Norman. .He rightfully wore three stripes on his sleeve this year to he one of the subordinate lead- ers of Troop A. A non-commissioned of- Hcer who was efficient, but along with it, tried to be everybody's friend. An under- standing quality about him when he did get serious was the real thing that endeared him to both Rabbits and old men. There is little question as to how far he will go and also little question of how many will be behind, wishing and hoping him luck. 3 PZ? ,. , . on A.. +V . , Thirfy-nine 1 l First Class Private CARL DILLON UBHRIIIIHOIHH One of the fastest men in school, this two-fisted Texan really does a sprint to the telephone booth when that vivacious belle from Tulsa puts in a call. As a hard-hitting, pile-driving halfback on that all victorious football team of '37, Carl more than once brought the crowd to their feet as he reeled off-end runs for touchdowns. Verily, the Coach welcomed this Beaumont flash to the squad, although he did make the somber Shook even more gloomy at times. A pro- crastinating martinet in the Ad Building, his ire was aroused only once when he said, Mlron, I'll scrap you. An aeronautical en- gineer in the making, Carl constructs model airplanes with such a splattering of glue as to give his more practical roommates a headache. This unpretentious and positive Ranger from the Lone Star State is almost as rich in admirable qualities as his state is rich in oil. Corporal CHARLES R. FOSTER The Roosteru In his two years on the Hill, Charles was one of the dependable players on Coach Cline's undefeated and untied grid machine of l957, wherein he plugged a mean hole at guard. He was a star boarder in Alton Arms Apartments, and he set an example for Uncle Bun's boys by willingly accepting tough assignments without uttering even the semblance of a Hbleatf' As the art ed- itor of the O M A Telegram, Foster's car- toons will forever be preserved in the files of the academy, while the finest of his un- published works will live long in the mem- ories of his associates in the barracks. More fertile fields called him away from us at midyear, but his labors here somehow keep his memory alive among us, causing us to feel that he is still leading his squad and drawing those Lichty-like cartoons. ... . -S.-i-. 1 -...F A Q nm t. t Q- s 10, v-fl .: , t - .

FOSTER Cue Ball Though he wore his hair at a minimum length, this did not detract from Cue Ball's appeal for la femmeg and at every dance this unllustered denizen of Driftwood could be seen squiring some fragile frail. A nifty, little basketball player, he flew over the court badgering and pestering when on the defensive, and chalking up points with amazing accuracy when on a determined drive. Chewing tobacco with a lazy, leth- argic jaw motion, he promulgated the 'fWisdom of the Humble in a slow, soft drawl. A cavalryman par excellence, his horsemanship equalled that of the greatest equestrians on Military Hill. Always in the middle of any inter-hall fight, he was very fun loving, and his comedy was of the slapstick type, which means that saddle soap and polish flew all over the battleground. Seiyfzeallt DONALD R. GISH Don Heaven's gift to the small town girl: that is Don.,' The sage of Hobart, witti- cisms roll off Don's lips in a slow, easy drawlg and when the City lads level acri- monious invectives at the metropolitan as- pect of his home town, this local boy unhur- riedly replies, Why, Hobart is a thriving metropolis of 500 people on Saturday night, and when l'm there every night is Saturday night. Amiahle and easy going, few peo- ple know that Donald is an accurate skeet shooter although his room is adorned and ornamented witih prizes and trophies certi- fying to the marksmanship of this seeming- ly lethargic soldier. Assisted by the pug- nacious Knox, he maintains hospital peace and quiet amongst the infant guests resid- ing in Uncle Bun's nursery. E .

He helped ac- cumulate that undefeated, untied record of 1937, and to make the Flying Cadets the most feared junior college eleven in the state. Perhaps one reason for his rosy cheeks is the fact that he consumes quarts and gallons of milk, but that diet also con- tributed a great deal to the wealth of other qualities he possessed. The cherry blossoms surrounding the National Capitol called to him at the end of the first semesterg and while George 'Washington welcomed him, we felt a deep sorrow in our hearts at his departure. All Sophomores offer a toast to the Chilocco Chugger, a good old boy. Observing Beech Nutf, the boy that nature smiled upon, a mescient passerby would assume that he was afflicted with a severe case of mumps. But the sage aphor- isms and laconic wit of his native Prague, flowing from his lips in between occasional expectorations, dispel any such erroneous deductions, and a placid, gustatory action in soulfully masticating the inevitable quid during Drill betrays his good natured per- sonality. The Postmaster-General of the hill, Guild, with his usual benignity, deliv- ers and gathers huge sacks of mail for his cadet brethren. Moving along in that fa- miliar lope of his, which will no longer be seen at O. M. A., no one is a more welcome sight than this protege of lim Farleyls. Nor does his work stop there, for he is as much a part of the Financial Secretary's office as is Captain McBride's pipe.

His ability in the military de- partment is attested by his rapid promotion to the rank of First Sergeant, and his prow- ess on the gridiron is reflected in the large numbers of offers he has received from col- leges and universities all over the country. His native leadership, his uncanny under- standing of human nature, and his most agreeable personality have combined to make soldiering in Troop A very agreeable to the troopers. His sportsmanship on and off the football field made friends for him by the legion, and his ever readiness to grant the request of a friend for a favor endeared him to all who came in contact with him. His memory will ever linger in the minds of the entire cadet corps, all of whom are wishing him luck. Bud Six years ago this descendant of the Osage Chieftains enrolled in our midst and started making a niche for himself, not as a comedian nor as a bookish cadet, but as a quiet, efficient, somewhat-too-modest ath- lete and all-round good soldier. He is one of the immortal greats in polo history at O. M. A., for he is one of the squad which met and defeated the great Leland Stanford four on their own field. As regimental ex- ecutive officer, his forceful manner of get- ting the job done with the least amount of friction gained for him the respect of the entire corps, and his cooperative spirit to- vvard the school regulations earned for him the greatest of admiration among faculty officers. When he leaves our midst he leaves a gap in more than one spotg and he leaves a friend in every one who ever con- tacted him. Forty-three I 'lu an t . ' ,Q First Class -J maaafyfg sr' Q-J Sergeant PAUL A. HODGE HSQIIRUJIN Rough on rabbits, but smooth with women, P:1ul's booming voice reverberates through the halls with a deafening echo as he proscribes one of the poor sheep who has not performed to satisfaction. As trum- pets herald the arrival of a conqueror, so those resounding vocal chords announce the coming of the Senator who conquers fair maiden's hearts with his infinite store of bon mots. Always ready with a clever and witty reply in those front hall bull ses- sions, Paul's aplomb and free-heartedness have won for him the respect and admira- tion of the rabbits as well as the old men. Opprobrius when the situation demands, the Senator's propensities lean towards Commendation, laudation, and respect for others. Sergeant MARK HODGES Harpo A second-year Sergeant, and his stripes on his sleeve prove his worth to his troop. A young man who, because of evident light- heartedness on the small, irrelevant thing called life,,' will make O. M. A. life next year seem vacant without him. Always a quip and a smile for everyone close to him has made him an enjoyable companion of any high class bull session. His mischievous attitude was always getting him in trouble, and what time he wasnlt in the Commandant's office answer- ing some delinquency report, he was in the gym working out his one athletic hobby- boxing. The Sergeant has proved his worth in his ability to box, representing the school in the Golden Gloves, A. A. U., and other matches. Perhaps he gained knowl- edge in this art merely for the purpose of helping himself out when he got into too much mischief, but who will know? ti - ' ,Jg V.

He is to be commended from the beginning of his first year to the end of his second. He ruled Troop B with an iron hand, but yet he maintained the respect of every one of his men, both physical and mental respect. What time he wasn't spending with his troop to make it proficient in every way, he was spending in the chemistry labora- tory. An Honor Roll man in his academ- ics and in his military work, Sergeant Hoover weighs well over 200 pounds, but to see him swinging it out on the dance fioor would remind you of Finney. Second in command of the Markham Barracks gym made him use his bellowing voice more than once to quiet down his boys. And many a night found him out drilling his misbehaved ones. Sergeant DAN .IENNINGS Powerhouse A second-year Sergeant of Troop D and undoubtedly he is that Troop's pride and joy. Never an ugly word, never a frown-always the self-same smile and cheerful word for everyone, it seems that Sergeant Iennings was born with good humor in each hand. And little surprising is it to see all his cheerfulness spread when he is in a group. He is as respectful to his superiors as he is forceful with his orders to his subordinates. Each afternoon will find him on the tennis courts, and his ability to lead his platoon on the drill field is an equal to his ability on the tennis courts. His social af- fairs are rather in seclusion on the campus, but it is quite possible that there is a girl back homel' which is the cause of all this. However, the future of the Sergeant is one to be bound for success, for in just two years he has proved his worth to the world. I Forty-fire First Class Lieutenant JACK KATES WHl'1'allt Officer ALBERT C. KUSHNER HCFOOIIGFU A four-year man, it will seem peculiar without him next year, for he has estab- lished himself so firmly in the hearts of every cadet that it seems as if the men hate to see him leave. His uncanny ability to croon has made him more than popular, and we are all sure that his voice will some day gain him fame and fortune. A young man who believes in absolute fairness to every class of people, and he practices what he believes. Ask any non- com or first-year man. He has worked dil- igently in his four years of military work, and when the Lieutenant gets something into his head, he tries until he has con- quered that something or is too tired to carry on. We all know that he will be the same in civilian life, and also that he will conquer only the beneficial things of the world which will in the end find him on top. ..Auy,, Undaunted by the Roosevelt landslide, Kansas Kushner still extols the virtues of the Sunflower state to any listener, and his riveting words ably defend the Landonites, even against the barrage of Democratic barbs laid down by Captain Cline. An aquatic speedster, in the free style events he churns the water to snow white foams as he surges toward the finish line, while on Sat- urday nights he whisks his shoes to a glis- tening polish, because from preference rather than duty he is preparing to saunter forth to impress that best girl instead of his superior officer. Yowsah, the wooing Mark Anthony to the Claremore Cleopatras, that is Ally l An indispensable integral of C Troop, the initiative he displays in helping to manage that third platoon is equalled only by the tact he manifests in the Bushy- head Field House on dance night. Forty-sim J B First Class Private First Class PRESTON LANGWORTHY Hank From the sunny slopes of California to the sunburned Hats of Oklahoma hurried this embryo pilot in search of things aero- nautical, academic, and military. He is an avid aviator by ambition, and if he keeps that level on the horizon of success, he will soon be the proud possessor of a signed and sealed pilot's license. Any cadet confab is pepped up by the slang and west coast dia- lect of this Pacific Coast song and the bel- lowing Bun, Lord of Alton Manor, is cha- grined and astounded by Preston's stream of chatter. His smile is more contagious than a yawn, and his generosity is exceeded only by the extravagance of his benefac- tions, which are exemplified in a remark he once dropped, I've loaned out enough pol- ish to buy gold plated insigniasf' ew Captain WILLIAM B. LANNING Kid Bill was a misunderstood cadet and an industrious worker from the day he en- rolled to the day of his graduation, but no matter: it was always wrong! The harder he tried to please, the more condemned he was. He can Take lt, though, this Reg- imental S-4g and he always came back with a smiling retort. In spite of the wonder- ment concerning the outcome of any situa- tion he was given to handle, he would somehow come through with the job well in hand. As a riffleman on the rifle team for many years, he accumulated enough medals to cover his chest. He won the Colonel Holden Rifle every year, but waived the honor after the first time in favor of the second place member. Though he now bids farewell to the academy, he leaves be- hind a marksmanship record which will probably stand for all time. all , 559:21 Q10 :san aj -AOL ll' A Forty-seren EW' 1+ 'l-f l I First Class Private First Class LAWRENCE L. LANTOW Larry With meek and unaffected grace, Larry's ruddy countenance is ever ready to break into a warm smile of true friendship. Even the fact that he was one of the dis- dainful day students could not separate Larry from The Hill,', because never did he take advantage of this fortunate circum- stance to evade any of his assigned duties. With the same efficiency that marked him on the drill field, he entered into his com- mercial course and came out with such high grades that everyone wondered, in the words of Goldsmith, How one small head could hold all he knew. With the same exceptional ability he arrogated the position of second trombonist in the band, where he blared away in thc true Dorsey manner. It won't seem exactly right in the accounting room without Larry patiently trying to run down an unappropriated dime. Warrant Otficei' ROBERT LAWRENCE Duke From private to warrant officer in the shortest time ever accomplishesd by any cadet attending the academy is the record of hegemonic Robert Lawrence. Popular and brilliant, his conspicuous progress in sol- diering made him the only cadet ever to have attained that high rank in less than eighteen months after enrollment. Having made the martial side of school his first love, Robert enjoys his happiest moments indulging in militaristic maneuvers. The counterpart of Lawrence of OMA might well be termed Lawrence of Arabia. The most outstanding bestowal of Mother Na- ture on the Duke is the fact that his auburn bright hair matches enticingly with the of- Hcers' pink pegs and Dehnersg and the pul- chritudinous maidens of Claremore have not overlooked this so significant detail. V Forty-eight First Class P... ...... . Private ROY LOFTIS Lofty Small in stature but lofty in mind, that's Roy. What he cannot accomplish by brawn he easily overcomes with brains. Modest and unruilled, he fairly radiates proficiency and dutifully does the job in a quiet, unassuming, smooth manner. About the only thing that can disturb his tran- quility fbesides the beauteous damsels from T-townj is his hot trombone which swelters under continual blaring as Lofty,' rises and falls with Captain Kelley's baton. With his buddy, Tuffy Howk, he endeavors to maintain solitude in that rip-roaring west Wing of the Alton Arms fMeyer Barracksj, ever fearful that the strutting Bun will stick him for some overlooked detail. Many were the nights that Roy's study of Algebra sounded something like, X-Y: NVipe it off in this hall! And Howk's voice echoed the cry. Colonel JOHN J. MCCAFFFJRTY Jack, The Real Thing The Colonel of the Corps! Commander of three hundred and seventy-five cadets, he symbolizes the highest degree of perfection a cadet can attain. It was on his shoulders that the responsibility of directing the ef- forts of his charges toward another Honor Rating fell. He stands as a criterion of the good soldier, a norm of the punctilious Colonel. But in spite of his militaristic at- tributes, he is a sucker for a lovely face, a pair of baby-blue eyes, and a beautiful fig- ure, as evidenced by the changes in nick- names from Mary Frances to Lover and other expressions of amorous connotation. Plagued by three troublesome roommates, he always finds Day in the Colonel's bou- doir, the source of his greatest peeve. The marshalling of affairs comes best from those that are learned, Wrote Francis Ba- con. J - v .5 li lA, Forty-11 inc iyfibfyx fi! rf .f M First Class Captain DAN MCCLENNAN Private, First Class. BILLIE MARTZ Danny Roy Proof that Danny has worked hard lies in the fact that he is one of the two cadets who have risen to the rank of troop com- mander in three years. Captain McLennan fought for and labored with his troop. Being the butt of every joke at the hands of the other organization leaders keeps Dan on the oflensive for the benefit of his com- mandg and that fact causes 110K only the members of his troop to wish him the best of good fortune, but the entire cadet corps as well. Though his mind was very often centered upon a 'gLittle Gal up Missouri Way, he tried hard to keep his thoughts on his studies. His erratic manner of wan- dering through the halls while puffing his pipe, totally oblivious to his surroundings, is going to make the situation next year seem out of place without him. Yes, the academy is going to miss this mild man- nered city youth. Friday In his Rabbit Year, when the cogno- men Friday echoed through the hall of Meyer Barracks, Billie obediently cried Yes, Sir, and trotted down to his Robin- son Crusoe, the saber-wielding Puncho. When he returned this year, because of his obsequious personality, the name Friday stuck. A charter member of the Alley's S. S. Club, at his favorite pastime of throwing the bull, no one in school or in the history of the institution has been able to surpass the exaggerativeness of the tales he spins. The words stumble from his mouth at a fast and furious rate, tripping over each other in a vain effort to arrive in the right order. Only with the fragile frails does he become nice and sweet, and the Yale profited much off Billie. On the dance floor he swings a wicked shag, and his pink slacks swish as he perspiringly trucks. Fiffy First Class l . S ess..- Seeontl Lieutenant RAY MUNSEY P. M. The tall stalwarts of B Troop come marching along, and one wonders who is leading them. Then a yelping command echoes from the front of the column, and we lower our eyes to behold the speaker- Lieutenant Munsey, a brainy if not so brawny platoon leader. He issues orders with tact and forcefulnessg and once issued, there is little doubt as to their being carried Ollt. Ever willing to obey his superiors, he demands just as exact performance from his subordinates, and that is the reason we find Munsey selected as Provost Marshal, a duty that he performed to the highest degree of satisfaction. As efficient as they come, with his den mate, the Awful Argentos, he put the Sui- cide on the Alley. Sergeant DOUGLAS ODOM Sonny Boy 'gWise men use studies, wrote Francis Bacon, and that is why we find Doug putting the theory of the classroom into practical use on the drill held. Young Lochinvar may have come out of the West, but Doug Odom emerged from the fair South to enthrall the fair damsels of the great state of Oklahoma with his brute handsomeness. From Florida, the land of sunshine, sunflowers, and sunny boys galloped the pride of the Southland, much to the joy of O. M. A. For little did we know that Sonny Boy was one of the most smashing, dashing, crashing fullbacks that Dixie ever yielded. With him the Fly- ing Cadets came through with a spotless record, renowned as O. M. A.'s invincible gridiron machine of 37. Fifly-mu' 5 W Rf! 'X'A v First Class ,- Master Sergeant JOHN PATTERSON Private, First Class, JACK PHILLIPS Hpatu This young man made so many A's in his academic work, and received so many promotions in the military department in two years, that he astounded both the ca- dets and the faculty members, but to him it was quite an insignificant matter. For a second year man, Sergeant Patterson held one of the two highest ranks on the hill. His commanding ability entitled him to be a platoon leader soon after the beginning of his second year. ln athletics he was equally outstanding. At first base he did a man-sized job for the varsity nine. ln the first time out for football practice he dem- onstrated so much natural ability for the pigskin game that the coaches predict great success for him in this sport in a senior col- lege. Punch,' Here is the President of the only secret organization on the hill, according to the hearsay route, and report has it that Suicide Alley's S. S. Club elected him by acclama- tion. Inside dope reveals that the main purpose of the group is to catch some of their prevaricating brethren while in the act of adding fuel to the oft-called bull ses- sions, and then to harangue the poor devils for the rest of the year about having been caught. Punctual as he cares to be in at- tending formations, Iack is the world's best at going to sleep with his eyes wide open. When jolted from his reverie he invariably blubbers out, Huh, huh, huh,'l in rapid succession and then answers the the instruc- tor's query with unbelievable prescience. Fifty-two First Class Stuff Sergeant PROCTOR E. PHILLIPS Captaill ROBERT H. RICHARZ ..Pep-i This young man well deserves his ricl' name because he is the picture of vim, vigor, and vitality. Never a frown or scowl for anyone, but always a help to everyone- rabbits, non coms, and ollicers. To be a Regimental Staff Sergeant a man has to be a hard worker, and Pep has labored pa- tiently. He has been a great help to every member of the Regimental Stall and has performed his duties diligently. We all hope that Pep will be as much of a success in civilian life as he has as a soldier. He has borne the colors for the Regiment for every parade and inspection just as faith- fully as he has prepared the half-year men to face O. M. A. life as a complete new man. Cortez A Cadet Ad'utant that all four five or I , v six-year men will say was the best in their experience. When Bob published an order there was very little doubt from anyone that the order was published. For four and a half years he has lived on this Hill,l' making more friends with every year. Who won't forget him and his efficiency as Ad- jutant during his last year at O. M. A.? Bob has been very active in his years here in military, acquiring higher promotions with each year. His work on the Regimental Staff has been nothing but commendable. And any stall member of higher rank would fully appreciate an Adjutant such as the Captain. The whole Cadet Corps ex- tends their best wishes of luck to you in the future. Fifty-three 1 X xflif ryiitra Warrant, Officer DONIVAN RIDGEWAY Private, First Class, EDWIN ROSS Robert Tayloi ' On the football field or on the drill grounds, Donivan held his self-styled man- ner of leadership. He is two hundred pounds of real fellow and man, respected for his physical prowess as well as for his pleasant personality. Although gifted with a commendable sense of humor, he could be stern enough to set the pattern and estab- lish the disciplinary air which would be a guiding pattern for any subordinate. As the senior non-commissioned officer in Troop A, he gave his men something to shoot at. He kept up the pace in academ- ics, was an ace athlete, and was always jumps ahead of the average in his military demonstrations. No one will ever forget the manner in which he snared passes for touchdowns while playing end on that un- defeated varsity eleven of 1957. Toad The word Dynamite covers a long treatise on Toad Ross, for on the football Held he became a super-charging demon that blasted truck-size holes through oppos- ing lines. Stocky in build, he hit the line with a thud which echoed through the stands like a shot from a cannon, and a sec- later Toad would emerge from the melee of players in that characteristic locomotive gallop, storming at the opponents' second- ary. On all other occasions this Claremore Adonis is one of the most docile and ami- able cadets in the corps. As a diligent as- sistant in Riggs' Hall, he could find time to assist the Pariahs from Knowledge Knob who had been relegated to the library for supervised study. He was another deviation from the canon of athletes, for his name was always affixed in bold letters on the Dean,s Honor Roll. I I on he . l , - t 4 Fiffy-fu Il 1' First Class Captain ERNEST L. SMART, JR. Ernie When physical fates Went against Ernie, and he was made ineligible for fur- ther accredited R. O. Ti. C. Work, he did not quit, rather, he seemed to speed up his en- ergies. And when the list of makes was read this year, his name was among those who had been honored with the rank of Captain. He was placed in command of the F Troopers . . . an assignment which not every youngster could handle. He Worked with them just as faithfully as if his very future depended upon itg and when the youngsters passed by the review- ing stand, they reHected his attention to de- tails by presenting a line which was the envy of the more aged troopers. As a mem- ber of the band, he has carried his full load. As a columnist for the local press, he kept up interest in the De Molays when others might have let it down. We know Ernie is going places before he puts on the brakes. Warrant 0fl'lf'9l' GORDON F. SMITH Huck Once again the National Guard trucks rumbled across the reservation, piloted by that demon of the gasoline Wagons, that Barney Oldfield of the 120th Ordnance Company, that paragon of speed, Huck Smith. How he pilots these buses around the corners so skillfully while crouched down low and resting upon the first eight vertebrae of his anatomy is more than any one can seeg but the trucks are yet without too many dents. I-le belongs to that Well knownl clan of Busted Aristocratsu whose kind are rapidly diminishing under tl1e sharp direction of Major Finley, but the fact that he has come back to join the Boots and Spurs on the hill attests the fact that he can deliver the goods. ln fact, he has several merit badges for high grades in military, but how he can keep up his stud- ies and maintain his many social obligations in Claremore is a mystery to all of us. Fifty-fire First Class Major JAMES R. SPURRIER Osage,' Here'sy the last of the six-year men on the Hill, and for five of them he has been one of the mainstays on the varsity polo quad. Like old wine, he improves with age, and during the season just past he was swinging mallets so hard and fast that goal- tenders were jumping aside to let the balls roll through the uprights. So excellent was his horsemanship, and so diligently did he pursue his military studies, his promotion to command the first squadron was merely a matter of sequence. As a soldier, in any sense of the word, he was always ready to enter the fray, and he gave everything he had to the Fight. The members of his squadron are going to miss his reassuring presence next year, and filling his shoes or boots on the polo squad is going to be no simple task. If he tried a thing, he accom- plished the job or found out why he couldn't do it, for perseverance was one of his virtues. Sergeant VANCE P. SUFFIELD Blanche From the Valley of the Red River came this cowboy out of the City of Gage. Tall, tanned, and taciturn is Blanche,' the cadet, butl his arched legs and leathern cheeks speak of his surroundings at home. He numbers his friends by the hundreds, he ranked third in his grade, occupied the third chair in the-Cornet section of the band during the past school year, but he ranked first in the fluttering hearts of his feminine admirers. Visualized as a hard ridin', tough shootin', gal rescuin, cowhand, Vance is hard riding only when he launches into a difficult musical score, tough only when Rabbits fail to do his bidding, and he cap- tures more gals by his charming wit than he rescues from troubles. As he leaves those ivy covered walls of the Meyer Bar- acks, he takes with him one of the most honest and sincere personalities it has ever been our privilege to know. ,ax sf Fifty-.sir First Class Sergeant EDWIN W. TENNERY Navy Bound Here is a young man whose footsteps the thing called success has dogged. The fact that he labored in the canteen, that he made the Dean's Honor Roll, played half- back on the varsity football squad, and still had time to garner a First Sergeantls rating in the military department, all in two years' time, is sufficient evidence of labor for rea- son. That original appointment he has for admission to the U. S. Naval Academy is testimony in his favor, for principals' ap- pointments come only one-third as often as alternates'. Once he enters the portals of that great institution, Ed will carry through to the last port, and when the roll of Ad- mirals is called, we can hear Tennery an- swering, Herein His smiling countenance is going to be missed by the undergraduates and faculty alike, and as he packs his bags for the trek to Annapolis we all join in a hearty Bon Voyagef, VVHl'l'f:llll Officer RALPH TIDNVELL Groanei ' Sometimes known as Sloppy Ioels Boss, Tidwell holds the undisputed title of the Crooning Canteen Casanova. Every day found him carrying out the old saw that Youth Must Be Servedf, for did he not preside behind the counter, on the receiving end of such orders as: Hey, Tidwell, where's my hamburger? Rack up four cokes, Tidwellf' Neither his academic work nor his military endeavors suffered too greatly, however, for his name was carried on Colonel Bryan's Honor Roll, and the fact that he made Warrant Officer just a month before graduation is evidence of ap- plication in that sphere. A welcome mem- ber to any cadet gathering, his popularity is paralleled only by his generosity. Ever advancing, Ralph symbolizes a spirit always moving forward, never hesitating to look back and say, MO God, O God, Would that it were possible to call back yesterday. Fifty-seven First Class Private, First Class. ROBERT W. VAUGHN Corporal FOSTER L. WALKER Walt Vaughn showed he was a product of Oklahomais bermuda grass region when he made known his presence at the academy by way of some wild whoops. As the stalking Bull of the Woods in that center of turmoil, the Markham Gym, he ruled his herd of bolting sheep with a stern hand, and many were the nights the Rabbits were heard drilling after Taps. A high-flying aviator who knows his loops, he even strikes fear in the heart of that impeccable aviation instructor, Lieutenant Fletcher, by his dar- ing maneuvers and breath-taking dives. As a port-sider whose talents are not limited to throwing a baseball, the Kiowa Kid turns his unorthodox southpaw ideas into prac- tices which yield results in both his aca- demic and military work. Troop B knew that their rating of Honor Troop for many weeks was due in part to the chatterbox pep and fire of this hustling soldier. Dimples Believe it or not, Shirley Temple has a rival in this dimpled darling of O. M. A. When Walker breaks into a smile, that countenance becomes alive with the cutest dimples which, incidentally, attracted his K'Lights-o-Love from all corners of the state. Recognized as Captain Kelleyls hus- tling bass player, Dimples leads his squad with unequalled tactg and like the true sol- dier, he retains his good nature even when unfairly criticized. No matter to what ham- let or village the band may go, Foster in- variably turns up in the middle of a carload of admiring femmes. Though serious when occasion demands, Walker seldom loses that dimpled expression of amusement which flashes on and off like an electric light.

Captain Kelley knows that he can depend on Sam, that is the reason we Find Whitehill playing first chair in that par excellence cornet section.

Iust such was the condition of the Flying Cadets of the season of 1937, in which they piled up 181 points to Z1 for their opponents in eight contests. And When one considers that these opponents would rather beat the cadets than to Win all their other grid contests, this accomplish- ment stands out as no small one. Yes, Head Coach Murl A. Tuffy Cline assisted by Captains Lee F. Gilstrap and W. Leslie Waid, turned out a machine which cli 'ked. lt gathered a record unto itself because the members trained for each contest under r:gular routine, Without any forced driving. In other Words, the team members were just eve 'y day themselves,,' and they did not require any special build-ups to pitch them into a Winning key. The record below shows that they had that proper pitch and key, and that it was harmonious. How We Did Enjoy Itl O. M. A. 20 Miami Iunior College O O. M. A. 7 Arkansas University Frosh 0 O. M.

Another member of the Osage tribe, this finished horseman took a place on the polo squad the day he arrived here Hve years ago. He made the trip to the Pacific Coast with the team which brought back the Will Rogers' Trophy for polo championship of the Western United States.

One h'u.nd1'1?d sir Polo Lesser Lights In the formation of a varsitiy athletic team of any nature, some men must contribute their services toward shaping those who are to be selected as The Number One Team. Below are three groups of polo candidates who fought and spit dust in order that the Var- sity might be tapered into an undefeatable combination. The arrangement of the men be- low was one of convenience for the purpose of the photographer, not indicative of rank or precedence. In the lower group, reading from left to right, are Loughmiller, Hensley, Priddy, Downs, I., Van Patton, Fusselman, Downs, Billy, Iohnston, I., and Webster. Their ages run from fourteen to eighteen, and as they grow with time, so will their skill with the mal- let improve. Upper left are five youngsters who represent, perhaps, a more experienced lot of polo scrimmages than the above group, since all of them are older in attendance at the academy with the exception of the second member of the group. Reading from left to right in this quintet are Rodney Ross, Grady Haley, Glenn A. Clifton, Clifford Endicott, and Walter E.

Missing from the picture is Clarence Elsey, 175 pounds. In this group above are some youngsters who show a world of talent in the manly art of mitt slinging. Colston is the team Captain, and his merit for the position is indi- cated by the fact that he was Oklahoma State AAU Champion, Northeast Oklahoma Tournament Champion, and State Golden Glove Finalist. Tournaments entered by these patrons of the squared circle were the Northeastern Oklahoma Golden Gloves affair sponsored by the Tulsa World, the Daily Oklahoman's Golden Glove setto at the Capital Cityg and the State A.

Since the new tile pool is only two seasons old, the water sport has not taken the hold here that other sports have, and teams engaged have necessarily been of a more favorable character, princi- pally strong Class A High Schools. Specifically, these were the East High School and the North High School of Wichita, Kansas, and Tulsa Central High School. A student-Coach in the person of A. Douglass Odom proved to be a very valuable mem- ber of the squad and served as an inspiration to other members to emulate his water skill. Along with Reddy, Long, and Manuel, he presented a very strong relay team. The medley relay was composed of Dillon, breast stroke, Obins, backstrokeg and Welch, free style. Members completing the squad were as follows: Captain Bill Long, 100 yard free style Co-Captain Rupert Welch, 100 yard free style Bill Obins, 100 yad backstroke Carl Dillon, 100 yard breast stroke Leroy Manuel, 220 yard free style Miller Briscoe, 100 yard breast stroke Albert Kushner, 100 yard free style Bill Reddy, 50 yard free style Le Roy Lette, 100 yard backstroke Bill Schmidt, 220 yard free style Andrew O'Connor, 220 yard free style One hunrlrerl tutelzze Q Baseball For the first time in several years, Baseball made its official appearance as one of the scheduled sports for the spring semester, but because of the difficulty in scheduling games at a late date, the members of this group did not have much opportunity to exhibit their wares. They did put up a good exhibition in two contests against the Missouri Valley Champion nine representing the Oklahoma A. 8: M. College. Captain Waid, coach, had a strong battery in Odom and Smith, for the former handled himself with all the finesse of a big show catcher, and the latter flipped the apple across the plate in bewildering fashion, a la Dizzy Dean. Another pitcher who southpawed oppo- sition into weak resistance was Pep Phillips. Another season together would have devel- oped a very strong academy nine, but the shortness of junior college tenure precludes that possibility in this group. Odom and Phillips pass into the larger school's atmosphere, along with Richarz, likewise an excellent southpaw Hipperg Iames Hewitt, and Iohn Pat- terson. THE VARSITY NINE AND SQUAD Robert Richarz T.

Owning our own hangar, shops, and airplanes, and being a state owned institution, makes us occupy a position far above the field of private competition. First Lieutenant Iames L. Fletcher, Air Corps-Reserve, a graduate of the Army school at Randolph and Kelly Fields, is head of the department and chief Hight instructor. In the group above, beginning on the left, is Cadet Iohn Casey, now holding a solo li- cense and working toward his private license. Next is Don Arnold, Hrst member to receive his private license. Ioe Hamlin, third member, has a student license. C. B. Vance is now working beyond his private license to the more desirable Limited Commercial. In fifth po- sition is Lieutenant Earl Olmstead, working from his solo to a private license. Quentin Reed holds a student license. As press time draws close, Court Loomis goes up for his pri- vate license. Holding down the other flank of the line is Dixie Iackson, holding a solo li- cense. This group of embryonic Lindberghs formed a society during the current year, known as The Escadrillef' It is the purpose of this organization to forward the interests of the aviation department, and to maintain a burning interest in flying as a gentleman's sport as well as a military necessity. 1 This group participated in the National Air Mail Week on May 19, and Cadet Arnold piloted the feeder line mail plane into Tulsa, to link with the national chain. One hundred twenty-eight l l The Ground School On the left Hank of the group below stands Lieutenant Henry C. Clarke, Instructor of Ground School operations. As a graduate of the Spartan School of Aeronautics and the holder of an approved license, he is admirably Htted for the work he is doing. His tem- perament enables him to get the most out of his proteges with the least effort, and he is a popular member of the staff. In the group, sitting, are Sergeant R. O. Miller, Gilmore Daniels, Iohn Elliottg and Charles Moore. Kneeling are Sergeant Stanley Schiff and Lawrence lordon. Beginning on the left of Lieutenant Clarke, in order of faces, are: Quentin Reed, Ioe Hamling Wal- ter Caseyg lack Hustong Dixie Iacksong First Sergeant Ioe Owens, Walter Schmidt: Law- rence Iordong S. Max Hoover, Don Arnold, C. B. Vance, and Lieutenant Earl Olmstead. Taking advantage of the Easter Holidays but putting the time to the best of usage, this entire aggregation made an excursion trip to Randolph Field, Texas, where they were given the run of the field and shops in learning facts about the Army's aviation courses. Their store of knowledge about the last word in military aviation was added to considerably. And the time put to the learning was a pleasure instead of a task. The shops in which these mechanics students work contain all necessary material for instruction in such work, and the tools are there for the Z0-hour line check by these begin- ners on their own ships. Perhaps no more favorable situation exists anywhere than at this placeg and these boys are grateful for the opportunity which is theirs. u Yr aff at Q' 1 l l l One hundred ttrenty-n inc The Dance Orchestra Q ,Q . . Y 1 1 ref V - an t , f .. i W- N-. ' , Perhaps it is a good thing that this group of musicians did not know it, for they might not have posed for a picture in which thirteen were present. Maybe the spirit of the ab- sent Bill Barrett, six-foot-six piano impressario, made itself known to these, for none of them ever muttered a sound of protest. Be that as it may, these thirteen members of the cadet orchestra satisfy the innermost desires of their less talented buddies who must take their artistic talents out on the Field House Hoor. Every dance orchestra has some particular, distinguishing characteristic, and if we were naming it in this one we would say that Cap- tain Iohnnie I-Iorne's gang is even tempered. Theirs is not the slap-bang music of a group of individuals who can't tell a musical note from a Hat sign, neither is their music too much inclined toward the majestic but flat cadence of a more dignified age. It is a happy com- promise between the two varieties, hot enough to be inspirational, and calm enough to call for dignity.

It is composed of the officers of the cadet corps, enrolled in the last year of the R. O. T. C. The purpose of the organization is to promote the work of the military department, to bring about a closer spirit of cooperation among the cadets than might exist otherwise, and to promote the general welfare of the cadets in their bar- rack life. The society corresponds, in this school, to the Scabbard and Blade in senior insti- tutions. The fortunes of the group are primarily of their own making, for with them lies the responsibility of cadet government more than it falls to the faculty of the school. The proof of their success is not to be found in ostentatious display, but is evidenced by the well groomed cadet corps which represents them on trips away from the school, and which causes the individuals among them to stand out so far above the average. At the present moment, there are twelve members and two pledges, as follows: President, Colonel Iohn I. McCaFferty Vice-President, Lieutenant Colonel Emory Hickman Secretary-Treasurer, Major Iames R. Spurrier Lieutenant Colonel Kyle Ball Major Ioe Ed Day Major Allen G. Bavinger Captain Ioe Ieffress Captain William B. Lanning Captain Robert Richarz Lieutenant Kaye Dawson Captain Woodrow Crume Lieutenant lack Kates PLEDGES Lieutenant Garye McCallister Lieutenant lack Stuart FACULTY SPONSOR Major Virgil E. Caldwell, Inf.-Res. One hundred thirty-one El' as The Chevron Society Following the pattern set by their commissioned officers, the non commissioned offi- cers of the cadet corps organized a society for the purpose of promoting a more harmoni- ous spirit among the personnel of the troops, where more intimate contact was possible with the individuals in each squad. That there was great wisdom behind such a movement is obvious. After the organization began to function, a marked improvement in the qual- ity of military atmosphere was apparent among the cadets. Their bearing was different, their attitude was more sincere, and their assimilation of the teaching was proportionately greater. The net result was the Honor Rating at the end of the first yearls operation. And again was demonstrated the truth that, In Union There Is Strength. As copy goes to press, the organization consists of eleven members and three pledges, as follows: President, Warrant Officer Rodney Ross Vice-President, Sergeant Beverly I. Taylor Secretary, Sergeant Dan Iennings Treasurer, Sergeant Bill DeLong Warrant Officer Donovan Ridgeway Warrant Officer Ralph M. Tidwell Staff Sergeant Ed Tennery Staff Sergeant Proctor E.
