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.

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.

He acquired a knowledge of the language of Confucious that enables him io hold an intelli- gent conversation with joe Stilwell, and he handles chop sticks fluently. They don't make them much better than Judge-in fact his only besetting sin is an addiction to Polo. SHEPARD B.
