After graduating from Leavenworth Tony hopes to be a Military Attache .in Paris. During all ten minute breaks he is first-come last- served by the well known stovc in the locker room. CHARLES FRANKLIN SEVERSON Ma'i01', Ifzfcwlfy Sep KNOVV, AT ST. 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. We hope that he may obtain his heartls desire and eventually return to pedagogical harness at his beloved institution. Like Uncle joe Cannon, he is never seen Without the famous cigar, and carrying the likeness further, he is equally as good a listener.

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.

CI924- DOUGHBOY 9 FRANKLIN CUMMINGS SIBERT Maj'0r, Infantry Si LETS co SI is a follower of the Goddess of Chance and has been known to bet his hat on either or botli sides of a wager. His Let's go advice to the class when the demonstrations lag or about ten minutes before the close of the daily exercises is characteristic. He contributed in the capacity of coach in the building up of the crack Fort Benn- ing Foot Ball team-until bridge started. It has been reported that he is quite partial to Campbell Soup and Kincade tea. , XVILLIAM Hoon SIMPSON Maj'01', Izzfafztry Sirnp WE'RE always glad when Simp comes around. Somehow he dispels that azure film generally apparent on Monday morning and when the ap- proved solution appears. A fine horseman is Simp and our most ardent polo enthusiast. CHARLES MCHENRY STEESE Mfzj'01', Orrluazzcc D6lPl17'f7lZ61Zf Steeso WE have been wonderfully blest by having in our midst a real live Ordnance Officer. Think of the times in the past when you would have enioyed having an Ordnance Officer where you could get at him? Steeso has come through beautifully and has always had a ready reply, in kind, for witticism or technical question. And as a garnerer of the festive A, his C. P. is near the head of the column. JOSEPH WARREN STILWELL Major, Ifzfmztfy Joe CHU-CHU-SAHD JOE came all the way from Peking to get in the back row of the Advanced Course at Benning. His knowledge of Chinese and ways of the heath- en confirm the latrine rumor that he is to remain over in charge of the laundry for the next year. No tickee no washeef' Joe is the only man in the class who can insult an instructor with a look.
