ATTENTION!

     I am August C. Holmquist, a pre-warning for the many who know. I am from Oakland, Nebraska. I am the guy who is leaving no stone unturned in the Military Department, and whom you see in the blue uniform Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week. Now, don't you think I fill out a mean bust? If you have failed to see my service stripes. my Pershing Rifle and Scabbard and Blade bars, drop out in front of Social Science building after the next hour and take a squint. If I am not there I can be found in the Military Offices of Nebraska Hall either creating a big noise with the P. M. S. and T. or causing an everlasting air current in my own direction. Thanks to those who have gone before me and made me what I am today, for I am an officer in both Basic and Advanced Course honorary societies. Again, must I be emphatic, I am August C. Holmquist. The girls fall for me in my uniform, the officers seem to be catching on to my manner of leaping forward in the rifle corps, but even so, I think I ought to be higher than I am and who knows, if people don't find out how dumb I really am perhaps I can continue being a wet apple.
