JAMES lVilILLARD LITTLI3 Lieutezlawzf Colonel, Izlfazlfry UJEDCEU NOW jedge, let's see. Oh yes, he was reduced at the beginning of the Machine Gun Course and assigned to Command a squad. The -ledge allowed as how he was getting old and his eyes were not so good, any how he couldn't tap the durned gun without getting an awful space in the middle of the traverse. Behold! when we fired for record he skinned the squad. Thank heaven he didnlt bet. JAMES NIACDONALD LOCKET Maj01', Infantry Jimmy ULAUGH THAT oFF JIMMY is responsible for most of the brickbats and bouquets found in this section of the Doughhoy. His keen sense of humor, observing eye, and sympathy have given a cross-section of each of us and of himself as well. Vw7ILLIAM WALLACE MCCAMMON Lieutenrmt Colonel, Infantry Billy, Mac, Wallace ONE of God's noblemen, who through 21 spell of ill health was forced by his medico to Withdraw from the festivities of irritating instruc- tors and was given the task of superintending the post school.

Ja fs. KW, 1 'Ns 1 l t' C1924 DOUGHBOY X ll 'N ,, ,f I 995, gn. , GEORGE CARSON LAWRASON Major, Infantry Middy HBRIGHT AND FAIRU THE only man that can jolly an instructor to his face without the latter knowing he is being made the goat. George-'s modesty caused him to choose the rear rank of the last squad of the runt platoon from which position he viewed the idiosyncrasies of his compadres with a kindly and humorous eye. THOMPSON LANVRENCE Major, Izzfazztry Tommy HIS favorite amusement is hunting. He rarely kills anything, but, Qverballyj is an excellent shot. He does not chew tobacco, has been known to swear, hates horses and can't swim. Never misses a chance to sound off on occasions of con- troversy such as 'ichiding the instructor. FRED LEE LEMMON Maj0z', Ifzfazztry Lemmo HNOXV, MY GOOD MANH SOME horseman-at any rate he rode a dark horse one day-on sketching we think. Some- times he passed the column and, durn our hides, he returned and passed us again. He is not profane, so we who are, couldn't understand his jargon. However, we helped him out and did it for him. We remember him best the day he hit one of Bruce Magruder's problems squarely in the eye. He struck an attitude which plainly said Spring is here. CHARLES F. LEONARD Lieutwmzzt Colonel, Ifzfafztry Orf. QShOrt for Orpheusj THIS Baritone Bard is a dyed-in-the-wool musical genius. In spite of the old song, here is a man who caniplay every instrument in the Band, and then some. His favorite instrument is a trick saw and his ability to tease entrancing strains from this mundane medium has already caused St. Peter to scrap the spare harp and provide a carpenter's kit in anticipation of Orf's arrival in the Celestial Sphere.

Y 3- VVALTER BOGARDUS MCCASKEY Colonel, lufafzlry Mac OUR Mac has heltl clown the 2nd Platoon throughout thc year with his pleasing smile, but he has had to' be a 'Llarn good sport on many occasions when the children insisted on playing. Mac received his promotion during the school year and his final confimation took form in a public demonstration at the Horse Show, a demonstra- tion in which several logs participated. ONN'EN RICHARD MEREDITH Major, Chemfraf l'Vz11'fare Service Med 'rnA'r's ALL THE CLASS XVANT5 TO KNOXVH MED labored under the handicap of not being a regular member of the service, having in an unguartled moment quit the Infantry for the Comical Welfare Surface, but this iid not prevent him from challenging every statement made by an instructor during the C0lll'SC. A keen sense of humor, an instinctive habit of doubling on all occasions and great gobs of ability rnake him a fine friend and genial companion. CHARLES L. MITCHELL M11j01', Izzfazzfry Nlitch, Charley MI'FCll has been carrying a heavy load this year, yet hc never bores us by belly aching about his troubles. His stern jaw tries to give you thc impression that Mitch is austere, which the merry twinkle in his eye shows up as being bunk. VVENTWORTH H. Moss Mnj01', Illfilllffy Tony UHOXV ARE You GETTING ALONG w1TH YOUR XVORK?v TONY is like Billikin, he doesn't like too many innovations. As a breaker-in of Corporals there is no than whomer. He worried Hub Fuller into a St-rgeancy and entirely annihilated Nep Boughton in one hour. He just loves drag hunts. K
