dan, 111., in the su
to O. T. C. at Camp McArthur, Waco,
fall of T8, and on his return to school
in January 1919, he was appointed
first sergeant Company G. This past
summer he attended the R. O. T. C.
camp at Camp Zachery Taylor, Louis
ville, Ky., and now in recognition of
his military ability he has obtained
the commission of captain of Com
pany G. Red is not only a military
man but he is a student as well, and
has taken part in many student ac
tivities. He has so diligently ap
plied himself under “Cue-Ball” Rich
ey that he promises to out-rival him
in the rapidity of pushing the “Guess-
Stick.” He is a staunch supporter
of A. and M. which we all know by
the way in which he pushes Company
“G” Fish over the top, but still way
down deep under all of this there is
a soft spot in his heart for the State
University. Cecil is very quiet and
many times misunderstood for being
so, but he is the kind of a man, when
you once know him, and can see his
qualities, that makes him a true
friend. Men like him are hard to
find. Although he is the youngest
man in the Senior class we don’t hold
age against him. We predict that
Red will set the C. E. world on fire
when he graduates in June. The men
in Company G have realized their
good fortune many times in these
last few months by having such a
good captain, and we think they will
continue to appreciate him more and
more each day as they come to know
him as we old boys do.

distinction one must make grades of
“B” or above in every course which
he pursues.
Until the third term of last year
he was not attached to Company G
but when “Prexy” handed commis- |
sions out to a limited number of
Juniors, “Stuffy” got his “second
edish” and was assigned to this com
pany. It took us only a short time
to realize that he was a valuable as
set. As a member of last year’s
Junior Live Stock Judging Team he
was among the best and this is an
achievement which any specialist in
Animal Husbandry would be proud.
As first lieutenant of the company
this year “Stufly” is a model for the
men to work toward and he has at
all times the interest of G Company
and his men at heart. In the Fall
of 1918 he was sent from Camp
Travis to Camp Zachary Taylor to
train for an artillery officer, but
when the Kaiser heard this—he quit.
He is a serious minded sort of a
fellow and he goes after things with
a determination and let me tell you
that he gets them where others fail.

As a fish in 1915 “Peter’’ was as
signed to G Company and it is a well
known fact that he can tell you its
history from the day of its organiza
tion to date. Though the personnel
of the company has been changed
many times his name has always
been found on its roster. That he

end of the ses
sion of 1907-1908, the “Bull” decided
that the four con^mies then in ex
istence could not aRmmmodate the
enrollment, he he decided upon a new
battalion. Accordingly, G Company
along with three other companies was
formed. G Company located in
Goodwin Hall, with R. E. Aldwell as
the first Captain began its notable
career in the fall of 1908. Through
the year the company prospered and
came second in the drill for the Flag.
The second Captain was H. G.
Haynds, who acted in that capacity
for the scholastic year of 1909-1910.
A good feeling existed among the men
and they worked hard on the drill
field with the winning of the flag as
their goal. When competitive drill
was over, they were not to be dis
appointed, for they had won.
During the third year of its ex
istence, E. E. McAdams, was cap
tain of G. About this time, a-thing
which had been noticeable in the com
pany began to assume larger propor
tions, this thing which is now called
Company “Spirit” obtained such a
strong footing that the men in the
other companies often remarked that
G Company must belong to some fra
ternity, as the members got along
and worked so well. History repeat
ed itself and at the end of the year,
the flag remained in possession of the
Company.
As a result of the company spirit
and the winning of the flag for two
consecutive years, the company had
a good reputation. With the opening
of the College in 1911, there was a
rush to get in “G” Company. The
limited number of men was soon ob
tained and many were forced to go
elsewhere. H. G. Eppler was captain
at this time, and the men worked
hard to hold up the reputation of the
