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.

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.'

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

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.

He was then stationed at Camp Grant,

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

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.

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.

and his cute and stately gait. It is
