From the number of .X s that have come his way we would say that the family silver is safe. Jimmie is right there with mln- Bull and is willing to make a spun-cli on any subject at any time, and uhen he stands up illlxl takes his three steps to thc front we prepare to listen. JAMES Nixon PEAL13 fllajor, Illftlllfly Jimmy UCANL1' limit Yot ' JIMMY having been instructor in Phil at the Academy, not long since let down the bars and decided to experiment with the Infantry School. To date he has gathered enough A's to carry any two of us into the Hall of Pain, ii.t'avenworth.D WALLACE COPELAND PI-IILOON Major, Izzffwtry Judge JUDGE has been preparing for higher command by a doing a tour of duty in the Celestial Empire. 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. PHILPOT Major, Infantry Hell Roaring Mike, HAR-HAR-HAR HELL Roaring Mike is one of those who simply canlt keep out of a scrap. This little violet coulcln't wait until the clouds of War descended upon these United Statesg he fought with Lee Christmas, the Beers and others. In all he has survived six Wars and one monograph.

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

Pyle, from a point of active service, has us all crawling gracefuly hack to the tall and uncut. Having been intimately connected with the Intelligence Service in the Islands for a long period of years-he knows them all by their first names, but that is not what he calls them. He is often mistaken for the C. of S. ELMER FRANKLIN RICE Mfzjo1', Infantry Rico HBLIMEH RICO rang up an A in most everything but sketching, which bust', was due entirely to professional jealousy, he insists. A prime mover in all the deviltry of the Bolsheviki in Assembly Hall No. 3 Rico was always ready with a song, dance or quick retort that hits dead center and rings the bell. We haveyet to see the first man, instructors included-who bested him in an argu- ment. LEON L. ROAOH Lit3ltf5l1l2lZf Cdfoucf, Ifzfafziry cT6Z1Z,iZ.fD Leon KNONV, THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE CARBU, LEON trailed along Oratorically-only taking an occasional spurt-until we had the tank demonstration. Then see what happened. We look- ed up on. the hill and instead of the instructor- therc stood our Leon answering at least three questions at once, and enjoying it. After his appearance the instructors scattered. His dia- grams illustrating his monogaph were the best seen. THORNTON ROGERS Mt1fi07', I iz fafztry Roge uLET,S Go A cove oyster from old Baltimore. VVhen you hear an excited giggle- dar he? He is fond of the stove in the locker room, especially during monographs. He grew tired of Broad Street in Columbus and moved to Benning to avoid ex- citement.
