RI. A. as a junior in high school. Since that time he has made a commendable record, not only in the academic and military departments but in several outside activities as well. For three years he was a member of the Band and of the Ride Team, being awarded the medal last year as the best Hold cadet marksmanu. For the last two years he has been a member of the C. P. T. He now holds the rank of Cadet First Lieutenant. FE.xRLEss BILL Band 4, 3 2 Srf. Sgt. 2 Cadet lst Lt. 1 ADELBERT XV. BRUCE Bartiewiffe lt's not apparent at Hrst glance, but Bull- dog is part Osage. A Technical Sergeant at the Hrst of the year, he has risen to the rank of Captain and is in command of Troop B. His brickwall build has helped make him a football letterman.

BARBER . 1'1fll'll1Oft Avonis perennial good nature has paved the way for a number of lasting friendships among the Cadet Corps. Conscientiousness is one quality that instructors never fail to appreci- ate, and his instructors can attest to his con- scientiousness. His work in military and aca- demic may not have been the easiest thing in the world for him, but as a noted writer once observed of a fellow worker, if there has been a grunt for every stroke, there has also been a stroke for every gruntu. Tommy TERMITEU 1 fade! 1,470-W! . DENZEL L. BERRY . Delaware Although he has encountered a few obstacles during the time he has spent at Q.M.A., Dingleberry can safely say that his efforts here have been rewarded with success. Be- ginning as a member of the Band, he attain- ed, after three years of trumpet playing, the position of drum major. His rise to the com- mand of Troop A and his efficiency in dis- charging his duties point to the fact that he has done his job well. Besides all this, he has found time to letter in Varsity basketball and to take an active part in other sports.
