Bud, quiet and unassuming, is a demon on the tennis court and a perfect gentlemang however, he seems to have an Odd appetite, since he likes his milk flavored with alum. Bud came to us making noises on a drum and continued to beat his way up to a lieutenancy. Not to change the subject, but llud is quite a lady-killerf' roping' them in one week only to drop them the next. He is changing now though, having been disappointed in love fwe think that is itj, but we can't understand why he is continually down town on leave. Maybe he hopes to fmd a true love in the Arcadia. Bud is a master mind in book l2i1'1llIlfTH and his all around abilit ' amazes all U zs his followers. Wle fear for the destiny of the band with the absence of this personage and his drums. 27 .., I t l 1 l 1 4

Don't he afraid, madamg behind all those medals is just black Armstrong. A strict officer, lack is nevertheless a staunch friend and one to lie proud of. Quiet, sincere and very earnest, to those who know him best, he is nnswervingly loyal and considerate. l'lis record, more than any words, suffices to show his qualities. For allfround efficiency, we unhesitatingly nominate .lack as Company 's best C. O. in recent years. He knows his military science backwards and for- wards and plans to follow the military profession, for which he is so aptly fitted. Studies? 'l'opsl .lack has been a consistent QU man during his entire career here. CNotice the decorations lj A second Daniel lloone and an Afl linesman, we can only call it versatility and let it go at that. You will leave a lot of friends, Jack, and will be missed hy faculty and cadets alike. 26

Pm Head they call him. hut that little head rests on eapahle shoulders. George is a South Atlantic hoxing champion, and also a good studentffrather rare for the ''stumhle-l1ums. Hlhat a man he is! Not so hig, hut oh, hoy! don't try and put anything' over on him. Tough as he is he is a true gentleman, and well-liked hy all. Capt loc watches over him like a hahy, and so does some fair maiden hack in good old Cincinnati. George was a eo-captain on the hoxing squad and his line spirit and courage- ous hoxing aided greatly the morale of this team. Fighting in the ll9-pound class he would train down nine or ten pounds every week, and then hop into the ring and hatter some foe down in one round. 'Tin Plead is a first sergeant of the highest degree, his famous For lluty Today was the cause for much good natured kidding. His grunfness was only a false front, for he was everyhody's friend, and was willing to help in any way. George will lind his own way in this world and will make a success of whatf ever he tackles. 28
