O. T. C. Offi- cers to see whether they would get any unattached officer for their pet colleges. Louie had a corner on the luck, if one is to believe what Roy Hill, Fuller, et als, have to say. ELVERTON ELMER FULLER Lien! Colonef, Infarztry Hub I I1EsIcN ROTUND and positive. Can ride hard and swear harder. Can manage the finances of the Annual and at the same time work out a training schedule to a Queen's taste. Never so happy as when immersed in figures up to his neck or panning some beloved regimental commander. We are sorry Hub is firmly resolved to quit when his thirty years are completed. He is beyond doubt the most even tempered man in the Army, he al- ways has an apparent grouch which is really a cloak tu his unfailing good nature. WILLIANI HANSON GILL Maj01', Infantry Bill WI-IERE IS BOUOHTON ? -BILL began the war as lan M. P., but that wouldn't do, so he finally hopped into com- mand of a battalion of the 6th Infantry, Sth Division, and made R. john West's crossing of the Meuse much more plausible. WADE HAMPTON HAISLIP Major, Ivzfafztry Ham HAM has written a testimonial which he intends furnishing the Infantry School when he de- parts for the Wilds in June, to wit: Before taking your course I was a very superior topo- grapher-now I am only fair, but decidedly war- mer. Outside of that Ham has nothing but kind Words and Z1 S-a-mile for everything and every- body.

He has an inexhaustiblc fund of appropriate stories ROBERT HOWE FLETCHER, JR. Jlfajor, Illfilllflzl' Bob HXVIIY so CoN1fiDEN'riAi, BOB was real quiet in class-very retiring, con- vcrsationally, in fact-until Marslxhurn used the caption 'flieauty Parlor and applied it to the barber and cobbler-No, Bob didn't exactly have hystcrics, but the class did. However, we would like to know what hc sail about it in private. Louis FARRELL Major, Izzfazzrry Louie UD0N,T YoU-ALL UNDERSTAND A THINGH LOUIS sprang into prominence years since as a Corporal in the 9th Infantry during the Philip- pine Insurrection. He started the ball rolling again on July l9th, 1918, but shortly thereafter a German Snip- er had some good luck with Louis. All necessary now is to show him a Made in Germany ad. and something happens. Louis loves dogs and bird hunting and that makes him popular with us. FELIX EMMANUELLI Major, Ifzfrmtry Manual EMMANUELLI came here an experienced topo- grapher, but as most of his work had been in Oklahoma and Texas he was unprepared for the rough terrain of Benning. On the day he sketched for Record, Felix stubbed his toe on a contour and fell from A to a C without stopping. The Corn is in the jug. ky , l F l L I

H1XLL Mr1j01', lllfclllffj' Chink u'l'IlREl'I NO 'rRL'MP CPIINK fit the war with the Qual Division nmstly as Brigade Adjutant. Later we discover him holding down Bertha Krupp's hunting lodge Am Rein. No, Bertha was not there, but many of the rest of us were from time to time. VVe understand he has roppetl quite a few A's, but we can't forgive him for being selected to head the yearly program of training for Fort Lincoln, Nebraska. TOLBERT F. HARDIN Mfzjor, Illfllllffjl Annie KXVAAL, ITS T1-ns WVAYU GOSH, but he is noisy and the questions lie asks! All instructors quail-all department heads tremble. We understand that somewhere back in his dim past he got real loquacious and after he had been properly subdued--after thc entire family had been called into consultation-after his con- versation had been elaborated it was decided that he had said Hell, and thus began the career of a great orator. RUSSELL PETER HARTLE Major, Infantry Scrappy KSADDER BUDVVEISERU BETWEEN Scrappy and Silbert no instructor ever feels safe. Between these two birds sits his Majesty, Satan himself, who dictates and Scrappy must know shorthand. They keep him in the back of all assembly halls so he can yell attention when Kincade returns after the ten minute breakg if he dues. ROY ALISON HILL Major, Infantry Old Soldier THE Old Soldier was some strategist-he doped each range from the Infirmary by map, speck- ed same and afterwards found out he had used the wrong scale. The 7th Squad have done their best to live this down. They will never take anybody's word again.
