ACADEMIC YEAR, Conf. cadets. His graduating students have proved the value of his excellent instruction by their records in upper classes. He is an affable man who keeps his students in mind. Downstairs is one of our best new teachers, Capt. Brown. He is a man to be proud of, as he instructs juniors and Seniors in English and literature. His classes speak for themselves, and their work is of high quality. Mr. Toerne also teaches Freshman and Sophomore English classes in this building. He took Capt. Rib- bing's classes at the end of the first semester, and we never see an unhappy face leaving his room. Lieut. R. B. jackson's classes in history and literature are well worth a visit. Here we see classes conducted along the line of strict parliamentary procedure. Lieut. jackson not only does sound teaching but he also shows the systematic way of doing things. Over the Q. M., Capt. Bauer has one of the fullest schedules on the campus, but his classes in bookkeeping, typing, commercial law, and business principles and practice are truly stimulating. He is a friendly instructor, always ready to lend a helping hand, but he demands good work. As our tour of classes nears an end, we must see Capt. Bresson in his general science and biology labs. What an interesting place his room is, full of fascinating specimens and exhibits, and full, too, of some of the best instruction on the campus! And finally down to E , where we find a dynamic redhead, Capt. Lange, busily explaining physics or chemistry. Here is a teacher of the highest capabilities. He is a perfectionist and demands the best, but when all is said and done, cadets know that it is for their benefit. We end our tolli' of the classrooms and the hundreds of little dramas that take place every day. Our instructors are a great bunch of teachers and friends. We are beginning to wonder about that little halo over the campus. But we do know that our academic year is worthwhile and that we are being prepared for the future by a superior and earnest faculty. l. Faculty costume party on Capt. Martin's birthday. 2. Capt. McKinney checks his mail. Capt. Bauer rings up M. sale. 3. Maj. Gould explains solid geometry. 4. Maj. Hinton mimeographs tests. Capt. Martin in a sales talk.
