He has that nohluncss of nature that has earned for him the nnme of the Red Apple Boy. NORMAN .NIARCUS NELSON Captain, Illfclllffjl Battler UVVHATIS THE UNIFORM NELLIE'S bellicose nom-de-plume is belied by his perennial smile and his untroublcd calm in the face of disaster because of lost or forgotten equipment. His squzidmutcs have lived in constant dread of the possilnilty of his leaving home some morning without his trousers. OSCAR JOSEPH NEUNDORFER Captain, Ifzfmztry Neuie NM NOT AS STUPID AS I LOOK IT is of record that our Oscar once forgot to shave for three days. Only the combined cf- forts of his squad prevented his retirement for age. A specialist on '4Itali11n slides in equitatiori, even though he and his mount have a hard time getting acquainted.

HANK dropped in to the Infantry School from Leavenworth and was such a quiet chap that we didn't learn much about him until Aus began flocking his way with a lot of regularity. A level headed sort of chap who says little, but who happens to be correct in what he does say. CHARLES HARRY MOORE, JR. Czzpfaizz, Illfdllffjl Dinty, Alibi lke 1'LL TELL YOU WHAT IS XVRONGH SHOT more alibi orders during rifle season than anyone else in the class. Also had more alibis on every subject than anyone else. Dinty resigned from the service in February and left a large group of friends who wish him the best in civil life. FRANK M. MOORE Capffzizz, Iufrmzfry Frank UMY GOLLYU FRANK has been, throughout the year, one of the most boisterous and irresponsible mem- hers of C Company. His favorite sports are hippological play in mass games and nickle pitching in group games. He has attained considerable success in the latter and is on the first team. WALTER FRANCIS MULLINS Captain, Ilzfalzfry . Wally HNOT so DUs'I'Y WALTER 'cFro1icsoine is a graduate of the llth Infantry school of wit. His reverence for tradition and his knowlezlge of antiques are clearly revealed in his repertoire of jokes, Wally cherishes a secret ambition to go down in history as the cleverest practical joker of his time. r

C., but that doesn't mean anything. From the way he captured the elusive Aus it is plain to be seen that he is a long way from being ffeye-seed. Being a beauti- ful blonde, he gets by with a beaver on in- spection day. Speaks Russian with a New York accent. CHARLES HAYDEN GWENS Cfzpfzziu, Iufmztry Charley HFOR PE'l'E,S SAKE, SHUT UPU AN ardent exponent of Drill and Command and a man who can fall asleep standing up. Always late at formations because he has further to walk since the great freeze. Known as having the dirtiest trench coat in the class, but in spite of that everybody likes him. TIMOTHY A. PEDLEY, JR. Captain, Infantry Tim HMAKIS ALLONVANCES, I ONLY WENT TO NIGHT scHooL', IT is predicted that, eventually, Timothy will be a G-3 fellow. He holds frequent conferences with the school staff, which portends his reten- tion at Benning in some capacity. He lives up to his Biblical cognomen and is as accurate Qin an epislotary sense,l as was his forerunner and kinsman. ALBERT HOVEY PEYTON Capiaivz, Ivzfafztry Peyt f'ANoTI-IER B THE corporal should be the best man in his squad. Peyt was in his and could eject tobacco juice with a volume and precision that defied competition. Kentucky gave him the sunny dis- position and sterling qualities that controlled the unruly Sth Squad of Co. C. We di:lI1't envy him his job, but do envy his performance.
