The squirrels, now grown too plump to gambol, basked lazily in the sunlight, as though contemplating a lean Summer but another feast in the Fall. I strained my ears to hear the words of wisdom that fell from the lips of the speaker but could make nothing of them, save a peculiar phrase which seemed to be: Don't be a Honey Sucker. As the strains of that soul stirring march, The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, wafted into silence, they gathered their belongings to them and took themselves away. Whither I knew not, but all bore smiles and happy expressions upon their faces. Whether from recollection or anticipation, I could not say. . f' I Q ill 1 ' Xf illwfi N 1.7 ' l',r ', M as , . r' Kr: 1' e -- -' ' , ' 2 'I 1 , , A I I, I K -+ Ti! y - ff Q 95 XX N' li- l ill x I gi? it ,N 'it ' iJ - ' I '- N Ji gl i r K ., If it me wgx Y 'icing i K e e H Alix xi I Qty ml.1v7'.g xx, It ff? page alll-in If H.-fi renifi1 Lc' are I

Armed with his vol- uminous dispatch cases, riding crop, black hen and other paraphernalia Eggie pounces upon any word of wisdom unwittingly escaped from the lips of an instructor and he cheerfully shares the dope with thc rest of us. ALFRED ALOE Colonel, Infantry King Alfred HCUT oU'I' THAT TALKINGU KING ALFRED holds the bag for the Advanced Class, and as a buffer between the shorn lambs and the cold winds and hot, he is :ans pareil. He never would accept it if he were ever licked. He may have trouble chasing contours, but he has the respect and admiration of students and instructors alike when it comes to being a fighting man. WESLEY FROST AYER Majors, Illfllllffj' ' Frosty USILENCEH FROS'Fl' was in the class for three months be- fore it was learned that he could say more than good moI'ning,', but when he turneil loose on the Monograph he made the welkin ring. Oratory, diction, humor, all the essential features were there in one of the best presentations in the class. Good boy, Frosty, would that every one talked only when he had something to say. PHILIP 1L'IAXALL BAGBY Maj01', Infantry Phil HTHERE IS STILL A QUEsTIoN IN MY MINDH PHIL bade fair to qualify for the Croix de Questionnaire early in the year, hut failed to keep up the pace. He is happiest when he can detect an error in the daily issue of pamphlets and can confound the lecturer with a statement in line 16 page l2 that disagrees with one on page 22. Fort Benning is just a whistling post on Phi1's march to the head of the Army.
