ROGER MARRIOTT Roger Marriott, who came to the academy from Oak Park, Illinois, this past fall, has been indeed a very valuable member of the Varsity Swimming Team. He holds the school record at W.

Besides this remarkable record as a tank man, Roger has been a member of the Prep Baseball Team and has done some good work on the Shrapnel. Rodg wins the class beauty prize. The only trouble is that he is so darned modest. It took half the year for us to find out that he was a real champion and a 100 per cent good fellow. But now that we know it, we don ' t mind telling people about it. Page Ten
