Yes, he's from Chicago, hut don't run for cover-that's only a camera you see in his hand. Horn in the far South, Schuyler later moved to Memphis, Ten- nessee, and thence to Chicago. A deserter from the rehel ranks he is, hut never- theless, a good fellow. ' Oh, how stupid of me not to explain that other article Schuyler carries around. That's his Nl. Clntelligence Quotaj which has caused him no end of trouhle, going so far as to hrand him with the quaint appellation l. Q. llissell. NN'ith a snap, snap here, and a snap, snap there, he goes ahout recording scenes and people on tilm, desiring mostly to photograph heautiful women, hut heing limited in such a desirahle task at a military school. he has forced his ahility on his fellow cadets. claiming that he has enough evidence Qespecially of the Tome tripj to hlackmail the entire corps.

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

Drad'l is the perfect lover. A fornier play boy who gave up the lmright lights for the little woman. lD'ick goes around with a look that reminds us of one of Capt. Joe's boys, but no, he isn't punchy, it's just his little '4darlin hc's thinking of. Some nights when Dickls blowing taps on his little lmugle those who have turned off their radios or stopped half way down the ropesshello 'Traut and Hilln-will suddenly hear the Indian Love Call break the eveningls stillness. Good luck Dick, may all your children be lnuglers. Dickey is a sweet little hall player, but he gets cold in his arins from sitting in the window thinking of lovey-doveyf' His grades are not the best in the school, but many a lad would he proud of them. Richard wants to be a forester, so he can guide youth on the beaten path of love. Dick is a Swell kid, captain of the rifle team, president of XYoodrow Wilson Literary Society, wellfliked by all, and one of the most handsoine. 30
