THE BATTALION PERSONNEL OF COMPANY Continued form Page 1) stands high in his class work is borne out by the fact that he often is call ed upon to represent the Dairy Hus bandry Department in an official test on stock farms of note. “Peter” is a natural “bug hunter” having a deep love for plant life and an especial affection for flowers, so he spent most of last summer in Kentucky in search of “Four Roses.” A red nose bears mute evidence. When it comes to play, no one can have more fun than he but when play time is over you can’t find a more conscientious and studious man. It has been said that “he would rather argue than eat,” but he is a good loser. • All in all, “Peter” is a man whom we all admire and whose friendship we cherish. Juniors. Japour, M. J. Port Arthur “Japappappi”, is better known as Max along the Port Arthur coast, and even within a 20 mile radius of that place, is one of the valuable ser geants of Company G. The boys don’t feel hard at “Jap” for blowing his little whistle every time the bugle call sounds, because he was on the Port Arthur Police Forcer^j^Jmig that he is used to riots o^hd disorders.' Besides being a gooc^Xpeace Officer Maxcine, recently/£e C ame a Fire Chief. In spite/of these municipal characteristjsrg; he i s 100% pep, and one of “Bull’s” fayooties, and is U staff of ‘Map-Makers’, it Camp TayJo r will ten, and what d 16 will do at A. and MJ. w ill be enunj in the “Acts of itha Atkins, H. L. Bandera Some call him “Wrench Aviator,” but others like the name ‘Daddy’, be cause of his mature ways. He was a mechanic in the S. A. T. C. and from his knowledge gained during that time he is now an expert watch re pairer. His numerous professions do not stop here, for at Camp Taylor he was a howling success as a candy dealer. He has given up all of his professions in the business world now in order that he might give his whole time to his studies and to convincing everyone that Bandera is in Texas. However, just now his whole time seems to be spent in worrying about his growth, not because he does not want to be taller, but this means another uniform in the near future. Sgt. Atkin’s physique shows him to be a member of the “Takers of Tan- lac,” Forest L. Buie Waxahachie When the gates of this gre^f 'ih’stiT tution opened in Septgjftfloei^ 1917, someone forgot tcj^gse them and a rare “Fish”^J?mtered up the main driveway^/it was not long before it was kno% n that he was from Waxa hachie an^t f or what it was noted. Since ther^ forest has made a record of which j| ve are proud. After ^/successfully completing his ❖ ^ freshr year he was recommended Symth, L. L. Mart, 30 miles from Mexia. “Roundhouse Red,” the pride of G Company and one of the most popular sergeants on the Campus, was put on the train at Mart and sent to Col lege for brain treatment by his fath er, Dr. Smyth. Red’s athletic abil ity at Camp Taylor was the talk of the South, his 100 yard dashes was the striking feature of the camp. “Smythy” holds the foremost place among the bayonet instructors on the Campus. Besides his physical mar vels, Red has one of the finest dispo sitions in the Company, and com pletely monopolizes all of this “Pop ularity Stuff”. As a map-maker just ask Col. Muller! As a ladies man, “Go-on, boy, you tell ’em”. The future Captain of Company G. Hall, T. Hightower “T”, as our Popular “top-kick” is more familiarly known, entered school with a two year class of ’18 and took up the long course of work for a de gree the following year, being class ed as a Distinguished student that session. Since his entrance at A. and M. “T” has been an active mem ber of the “Y” cabinet. He is Secre tary of the East Texas Club. College activities don’t occupy all of his time, as his attentions to C. I. A. and a thorough correspondence course form the nucleus of his thought propa- ganad. He also reads the “Lass-O” with as much interest as he does those letters bearing a Denton postmark. G Company was fortunate indeed, to obtain such an experienced man as its first ser-geant, and his popularity with the whole company exemplifies their appreciation of the fact. for /he training camp at Fort Sheri 111., where he made good and re ceived a cimmission in the Infantry. He was then stationed at Camp Grant, 111., in preparation for the trip across the pond. When the Armistice was signed, the Army lost all of its attractions for Buie, however, and at the 1st of January, 1918, he was back with us ag<pn. In a [few^(Mirs he will be, oted as the roads in Texas. He now ‘k-as tl or of being the 1st Sergean^ “peppiest” Band A. and M. know. He is a man who is c<| tive, reserved, a good fellow, rirr instrumental in producing the results that G Company is now obtaining. We predict for him a happy and pros perous future, and are proud to call him our friend. Walker, J. A. Rockwall “Reg” is the only survivor of the antiquated body of men known as the “P. H. H. R.” He knows the history of the “Cave of the winds” from the year one to the present time. He is a moaning saxaphone artist of un usual ability. “Reg” is a real live one in his chosen profession, a follow er of Jimmy Nagle and the “Gen eral.” Besides being among the best applied men in his class, he has sev eral years of practical engineering experience which causes us to predict for him a successful engineering career. However, “Reg” does not limit his activities to the Campus, he is one of the few men who has social obli gations in Bryan. He is popular equally among his fellow students and the faculty and G company is proud to list him on its roster. Sophomores. Black, L. S. “Everywhere” Leon hails from goodness knows where, we don’t, neither does he. “Promptness,” that’s his motto, and to “Soupy” he is never late, but Reveille, that’s digerent. His wis dom does not flow in that direction. NO! Never! L. S. Black, G Company reporter, is a regular ladies man. They all admire his shining curls and his cute and stately gait.
