APPOINTED LIEUTENANT:
SERVED AS PRIVATE WITH HQ. CO. 3RD INFANTRY
A doughboy who once stood in the ranks of Hq. Co., 3rd Inf., will return here next week and find a host of old friends who will congratulate him upon his recent promotion to Second Lieutenant.
That man is the former Pvt. Harry H. Geoffrey, who was graduated from the United States Military Academy yesterday, and is a commissioned officer today, having placed 69th out of a class of 241.
Lieutenant Geoffrey competed for entrance to the Military Academy over four years ago, and "made it from the ranks". His record while at "The Point" has been an excellent one, judging from the honors he received while there. He was a Cadet Lieutenant, Literary Editor of "The Pointer" West Point annual, and in addition was active in athletics.
During the past year he was manager of the Army Fencing Team, and was Secretary and Treasurer of the Intercollegiate Fencing Team.
Lieutenant Geoffrey is the nephew of Mrs. Elva C. Charboneau, 2115 Berkeley Ave., St. Paul. He will spend part of his three months leave in the Twin Cities, after which it is said he will be assigned to an artillery unit.
