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

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.

An expert with a delouser and portable laundry, as his service ribbons show. A football player of note and all around athlete who did his bit for the Infantry School teams. One of the Big-lerville aldermen whom everyone knew-and knowing, liked. STANLEY JOSEPH GROGAN Cillpfflill, Illfllllffj' Stan ul-LIGHT You AREH 'THE famous editor of the Cajollery Kolyumn of the Benning News. We are unable to determine where he received his early literary training, although it was reported that he once was a ncwsboy for a New York daily. At any rate, he wields a wicked pen, which is mightier than the dress saber. VVALLACE EARLE HACKETT Captain, Izzfazzfry Chop-it rr COUNTS FOUR UNITSn THE original unit counter who knows a week in advance the unit value of each exam. His name is well known in Co. B because his corporal was continually forced to bawl him out for talking in ranks, but the members of his squad forgave him because of his good nature and helpfullness. MIL'FON BALDRIDGE HALSEY Captain, Infantry Milt HDO rr EVERY TIMEU 'THE Army was the gainer when this quiet youth turned clown a 310,000 contract in the movies to learn training management. As an athlete he helped the football team nobly. In his quiet manner he kept up the morale of his squad-im cidently coining a B Co. phrase-by inquiring How ard you getting along with your work?,'
