Douglas Macarthur, a former classmate: Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Gen. omar Bradley, Jl :, and Lt. Col. Henry ]. Miller, all former students of his.
 Colonel Lyon wes in MacArthurs class at West Point, 03. and both went to the Philippine Islands after graduation. He remembers Mac Arthurs as the most popular man in the class.
 Returning to West Point to teach in ieii.i2, he had Eisenhower. Bradley and Miller in his history and tactics course and in military engineering.
 Eisenhower I remember distinct ly as a big, straight. square-shoul- dered boy who would stand up in the recitation room and look the instructor squarely in the eye as he made his recitation. He gave one the impression of power. the ability to do things and to stand on his own two feet"
 Colonel Lyon recalls Bradley as 'another of the same type-tall, lanky, a good scholar who took his work seriously. Tn athletics he was a ball player and. as I remember. an excellent pitcher"
 Miller was also in this class of IS and Col. Lyon recognized him by his picture. but had no special comment to make about him ex. cept, "he was a classmate of Eisen- hover. Bradley, Ryder, McNarney and others who have made a high place for themselves, and was as. signed to the cavalry upon gradu- ating."
 Had Adventures, Too
 Colonel Lyon himself has led an adventurescme life. He served in the Philippines, as a liteuenant colonel in France during World War l, in Cuba for two years tn Hawaii two different times. taught at West Point three times. and was commander of the HOTC unit at the University of Oregon for four years before his retirement in i942.
 He was spending his life in Eugene peacefully, taking modern history adn language courses at the university, when the need for teach- CTS in the ASTP again brought him into service.
 Although the program has closed down, he has remained on the teach- ing staff. conducting a class in Recent Germany" during the sum" mer session. and he will again teach soldiers if any are sent to the unt- versity this fall.
