always busy, but he could manage to tind time to listen to coml1l1lil1lS. give advice to those asking it, and help out those who were in trouble. We could always count on tinding one friend in the orderly room, and he will long be remembered as the man with the big, open, hearty laugh which could drown all sorrow. Sergeant Anderson-XfVeight 251 lbs.! ! ! Sergeant Anderson is a veteran of the 14th Infantry. He tirst served in Alaska, and he says that this is his only regret for it was there that he unfortunately accumulated all of his avoir- dupois. He is best known as an expert bayonet and musketry instructor, and also as one of the best hikers in the Army when he once succeeds in getting started. But we regret to say that we have never yet had an opportunity to see him exercising his art, for whenever the appointed day arrives he is inevitably to be found on the sick list. He has served as a regular for eleven years, and seems to be well contented with his lot at present-as company clerk. ln spite of his one failing he is well liked by all for every one likes a fat man. Sergeant Harris, the supply Sergeant, has seen more service than any of the others, for he was with the marines eight years and the army ten years, during which latter period he was in the artillery several years. During the NVar Sergeant Harris held a Captaincy, and all who know him will vouch for his ability. Sergeant Harris was strictly business during business hours, but when business was set aside a more jolly or more sociable man was not to be found. As the Mess Sergeant Moore was able to hold his own with anyone, and was known as a man who was alway on the job He never failed to notice anything that was wrong and then was willing to lend a helping hand if needed. The Community House was his favorite pastime, and for Moore data you may ask the W. C. C. S. girls. 49
