FIRST CLASS EDGAR H. COOK .... jrdllzore It is strange-the curious imagination of the members of the Cadet Corps, for they have nicknamed this man Cookie . An ardent polo and basketball enthusiast, he has worked long, hard, and energetically to develop himself along the lines of his favorite sports. Those who know him best assert that it takes quite a while to learn all the interesting personality traits of this complex phenomenon, but that learning them is well worth the pains. One of his happiest faculties, and one that will un- doubtedly remain with him a lifetime, has been his ability to Win friends. Lf? ff f f Cookie DONALD Y. DAWSON . . . ,Picker Yancey,' entered school in September, 1940, bringing with him his pipes and the Picher philosophy of life. That philosophy is so good that he could probably give Dale Carnegie a few pointers on Winning friends. VVell-liked by old men and rabbits alike, good-natured and energetic, he has but one tender spot: Call him coal-mineru, and you will immediately be informed We mine lead and zinc, not coal! Yancey will proba- bly see service soon, and the outfit that gets him will be lucky. UYANCEYH Rifle Team 2, 1 Pace 29
