TUCKER fllfljor, lllftlllffj' - Tuck n'oN 1' me LUNCH OLD man Tucker comes to us from Virginia, via thc land of fast horses and beautiful women, or vice versa. One who has not heard him ex- pound upon the curative powers of Dr. Hitt-'S Pain Cure for the ills of man, and colic :intl bots in mules and horses, has missed something. Tuck says the 16th went fast at Soissons. HERBERT IXLONZO VVADSWORTH Mnj01', Illfalllry VVaeldy, VVaCl WAD could never he clubhetl a chatterbox, but when he does speak he says something. He talked the Panamanians out of their decoration for solidity, and he isn't so solid, either. He is a forester, and must feel at home among the rest' of us. ROBERT JOHN VVEST Maj01', Ilzfzmtry Mah Jong uWHAT,S THAT?U R. john crossed the Meuse at Dun with the llth Foot-then, according to his monograph, he double crossccl his K. O. and Wound up SODHC- where near Berlin. However, we have seen him in action only in the Club and on the Polo field, and if he fit the wah like he plays Bridge and Polo-Soldiers of the empire-beware!

6 I Q ' .4-, ...., on ... 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.

Jef all I 1' fs l, n I .s at -fl fm l9z4- oousifaov IN THE NAME GF GOD QAMEN A 'D' Student, being of sound mind and memory, but considering the uncertainty of this my existence as a Collegian, do make and I W 3 ix' declare this my last will and testament. M i I if is First, I desire that my body be given a suitable burial, agree- able to the wishes of my relatives and such friends as I may have left after the publication of this will. And if there be a crypt under A. I-I. No. 3, 'tis there that I would rest, that my remains may forever be lulled into an harmonious peace. Second: My wordly goods being of no value and coveted by none, I make no reference to them hereafter. Excepting these, I now will and devise all other things in the World, and more especially those existing within the con- fines of this post or in the imagination of its permanent personnel. I hereby appoint the Editor of the Infantry School News as Executor of this my last will and testament to serve without bond and without com- pensation. And I charge that he carry out faithfully and minutely the several terms of this will knowing his services will be well worth their cost. ITEM: To Captain Layman I will and bequeath all sighting bars and triangles and gun slings and score books, as well as the hot sun which shone mercilessly upon our backs. And I charge that he use them all unsparingly upon future classes, that posterity may not rise up and say of us: 'What liars ye mortals be., ITEM: To Lieutenant Cullen I will and bequeath all gas cylinders and extractors and ejectors and rules to be applied before and after firing. And I charge posterity to forget them quickly-even as you and I. ITEM: To Major Crawford jointly with Captain Pearson I will and bequeath all contours and conventional signs. And I charge them jointly and separately to pass them on in as sugar-coated a form as they were passed to us, but with less delayed action. And I further leave to Major Crawford all the 'A's in all the alphabets, and I charge him to use his bequest freely and without stint, witholding for his own use such few 'D's as he may have left after our departure. ITEM: To Captain Beebe I leave all pistol triggers that he may squeeze them to his heart's content, pondering the while over the shattered atmosphere when our targets bobbed too quickly. 1, vis J?- i I -Q 'Z' 9 -.J N, ,qw iq-- 14 x 4 F9 lip
