of the Junior class in the Assembly
Hall Monday afternoon. James L.

Both Moore and Watterson were
unanimous choices of the class, get
ting their positions without opposi
tion. Moore is a color-sergeant on
the Infantry Regimental Staff and
Watterson, master sergeant on the
Composite Regimental Staff. They
were junior assistants on the Long

were recommended with Keith by
members of the 1930 staff.
Eugene Strieker, Waco, has been
chosen by Moore as assistant editor
