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.

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.

JOHNS, ETC.D NEVER has mortal man seen an affection for a place, greater than that shown by the Old Man of the Sth Squad for St. johns Military Academy, Delafield, Wisconsin, Where he has spent the past few years instructing the younger generation in military matters.
