Show , South Servicemen ; By Phyllis Clayton South high has reason to be proud of Private Peter Souvall, for he made what Is believed to be an army record on his classification test, taken in November at Fort Douglas. Out of a possible 163, Pvt. Souvall scored 162. Fort Douglas personnel reported Pvt. Souvall finished ten minutes before be-fore anyone else, and he made the highest mark recorded at the cen- I ter. The Public Relations Office of Camp Barkeley, Texas, where Pvt. Souvall is now stationed with the Medical Replacement Training Center, claimed a soldier from Kansas had broken the set record with his 161, so the Utahn seems to hold the title. The "GI Genius" was a B-plus student in mathematics, mathemat-ics, in which he majored, and maintains his knowledge of the ' Greek language aided him with his vocabulary. Pvt. Souvall has two brothers in the army who made 'jj far above average on their classi fication tests. Elaine Braby, of the U. S. Navy, , is the first woman to appear in this servicemen's column. Elaine entered the service on May 8, 1943, and has received her commission com-mission as an ensign in the WAVES. Her activities at South, which she left in 1937, were numerous, num-erous, including Leaders, SHAG, Scribe, a'capella, and Social Arts. Elaine claims she never considered any other branch of the service, and has certainly made good as a "gob," having been recently promoted pro-moted to the secretary to the commanding com-manding officer. Ensign Braby will return to Salt Lake from her station in New York City the latter part of this month on her first furlough. Ahoy there, Elaine! Conrad H. Dalton, a graduate of 1940, is now statoned in Hawaii, as a private in the army. He entered en-tered the national guard in March, 1941, but is now out of that unit, and in the regular army. While at South, Con participated in foot- t ball and ROTC. He was first sta tioned at Camp San Louis Obispo, and went from there to Camp Lewis. At Camp Hohn he was critically burned in a fire, and i spent five months in the hospital. One of the graduates of last spring was Dean Christensen. Dean entered the army one month after graduating, and is now in Alfred, New York, studying civil engineering engineer-ing at Alfred University. At South, he was a member of the basketball and baseball teams, president of the bowling club, and an exceptionally excep-tionally fine tennis player. |
