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.

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.

OLLIE VVILLIAM REED Captain, Infantry Olee wHA'r's THE QUESTION? IT is not true that no one loves :1 fat man. Ollie is thc exception that proves thc rule. I-Ie only just recovered from the shock that some one pulled by telling him that there was no Santa Claus. A straw hat, Kansas and a farm and you will have a picture of Ollie, but he is rt great file and we all like him n lot.
