86 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Class Prophecy QC011tinz4ed from Page 841 Deeply interested in this experiment is mechanical-minded Scott Morrill, whose love for speed led him to secure a job as fireman on the Peoria Night Express soon after graduating from Saint Albans. When war came, he joined the mechanized units, and now drives a super- charged CC-10 tank, which has earned him a reputation as the fastest tank driver in A. E. F. I had a long talk with Alex Walker, the fighting chaplain of the 99th, who had given up his post as Canon Precentor of the Washington Cathedral in order to join the army. Chaplain Walker was apparently oppressed by many worries, the greatest of which was private John Winant, who had recently been up for court-martial on the charge of smuggling large quantities of champagne into the trenches. Private Winant's acquittal was a stroke of good fortune, for the presiding officer of the court that was trying him turned out to be his old classmate, Colonel Forrest Holmes, whose knowledge of legal proceedings came from eight years' experience as Justice of the Peace at I-Iyattsville, Maryland. When I talked to Private Winant, I found him thoroughly fed up with the war, and anxious to resume his political career by running for re- election as Governor of New Hampshire. I caught only a glimpse of Staff-Lieutenant Jack Myers, who before the war had made such a brilliant name for himself as the foremost New- Deal brain truster of President Roosevelt's fourth term. When I saw the Lieutenant, he was scurrying off somewhere in a great hurry, deeply engrossed all the while in scribbling notations on scraps of paper and stufhng them into his pockets. According to Captain Schoenfeld, he was probably in the act of drawing up another of his routine reports, which he always handed in late or at the last minute, much to the annoy- ance of the General Staff, who wanted to know why President Roosevelt hadn't taught him to plan his time. fC0ntinucel 011 Page 885 -71.661 Wm :we Za QM' MELVERN ICE CREAM Deuclous md!
