B, wht taught the youngsters how it really should he done. A spoony looking soldier is he and one who has covered some ground. At the last range for record with the rifle Bill needed 49 to make expert, so he gritted his teeth, squeezed the trigger and made his 49. MALCOLM VAUGHN FORTIER Caplaizz, Infantry Bob 'KLETS col' ATHLETICS and Bob go hand in hand. A model who doesn't smoke, drink, chew or roll thc bones, but a had homhre to tackle. Sleep with a basket hall in one hand and a foot- ball in the other and is on all of the School teams. Mounts machine guns improperly and twists bayonets into corkscrews. ALBERT DICKENSON FOSTER Caplain, Infantry .-X. D. UHOXV om You COME OUT TODAYD THE Sphinx had nothing on A. D. when it comes to making nothing else but silence. His entire squad has tried for six months to get some- thing on him, but he keeps it all to himself. He is so quiet that he sneaks up on the A s and surrounds them before they are aware of his presence. ARNOLD JOHN FUNK Capiaifz, lnfmztry Ham--and HWRONG AGAINU A mean man in a dress suit, which he now wears in lieu of the draperies of Hawaii from whence he recently came to- Benning. One of the social leaders of the 'lyounger set at Biglerville, he conceals the fact that he was the chief of the Oahu M. P.'s who stopped the hula dancing.

'l'ht-re is a possibility, limit-xer, that he may he detailed as bayonet instructor at the school because nf his in- vention of a wicked side shift that can be se! to music. JOHN LfxwRENcE DUNN Cvtlffzlfll, l1l.fr11lfry Fini '1'11EN1 is FACTS THE first American combat officer Ku land in France. He doesn't more fast nor much, but that doesn't make him any less popular with those who know him. He is mean looking when he wants to be and it is a safe bet that the Heinies'l can answer the question, VVhat has john Dunn'? HENRY XVILLIAM EDMONDS Capfzziu, llzfmzfry Peep-sight 1 noN r BELIEVE THAT,S EXACTLY RIGHTV DAME Rumor has it that he was once a wind- jammerf' If so, it was away before most of us knew that there was an Army. Peep-sight is entitled to his place with the other old timers who spent their noon hours fighting the war all over again. His infectious good nature and genial smile always cheered us all. JOHN FRANKLIN FARNSWORTH Captain, Ivzfmztry Two-mile John UNOVV, VVHEN 1 WAS IN THE .... A most modest and shrinking violet who does not hestitate to state Alone il did it. I am no musician, but a whole brass banclf' He is one of those former residents of Benning who knew the location of the hiding places-and used them, never.

Nut yet ready for the retired list, but full of pepper and ginger and ready for tuo or three more wars. IJEE SAUNDERS GERONV Caplaiu, lllfzlllffy G HXVELL, CAN YOU 1'lliA'l' 'l'HA'l'?U FOR a time we thought that G was acting as a model for some uniform house, so natty did he appear, but it later developed that he had recently returned from Germany and was nnly wearing out his old clothes. He was the patient right guide of Co. B who always was blamed when the outfit was our of step, but we like him just the same. HAROLD NAPOLEON GILBER'Y Capmizz, Illftlllffy Gil UAVV, NOYV, CORPORAIJ' A quiet, dignified personage with that innocent A expression that one always attributes to a Cherub. The victims of the many melees in which his battling squad participated never suspected Gil, but the truth will come out. A real he-man and a good scout if there ever was One. WILL HUGHES GORDON Captain, Ivzfafzzfry Bill wHAT's THAT? THE General'l was the silent member of Be1l's squad in B Co,, to which he lent much needed dignity. There is no frivolity in Billls make-up and for that reason he represents a solidarity on which to fall in case of need. His knowledge of machine guns was imparted to his fellows in an untiring manner. ii 4 il i
