LUTHER NATH.ANIEL JOHNSON Capfizifl, Illfdllffy .lohnnic 'Tm A 'R' S'I'L'DEN'1'U JOHNNIE and a clam have some of the same characteristics, but both can be depended upon.

JACK was the second high rifle shot in the class and attributes this to the time spent in practicing on Kentucky squirrels when a youth. Now he keeps away from the squirrels. He is a prospective member of the Infantry Rifle team, a duly elected good feller and a proven Student. THOMAS JEFFERSON JACKSON Captain, Ivzfmzlry Tommy UQUESTIONF U TOMMX',S prior service consisted of nice jobs in Europe. To his linguistic accomplishments the Sth Squad of Co. C has aided an excellent groundwork of elementary profanity. This, with tobacco chewing and a course in general cus- sedness will fit him to command anything from 21 regiment up to Joe Starkey.

BERT lVlARSHALL LENNON Cnpmifz, Infantry Bert 1'rls A GOOD DAY FOR ITM HAILS from Minnesota, but at an early age said How for uhown, so was named Bert instead of Ole. llc always has a couple of good stories up his sleeve and springs them to cheer you up when everyllling is blue antl you feel that this vale of tears is nothing but one blamed examination after another. V GIKAHAM WALLACE IJESTER Captain, Infmmfy ' Les u'l'HAT,S MED LES is one of the few small men who do not final it necessary to make up in noise that which they lack in size. He started out in life to be :1 senman, but decitlegl to be a follower of YVellington instead of Nelson. He has little to say, but that little is well worth listening to.
