William Sinton Richmond, Va. ■ Bill ' ' F. F. v. w ELL, I 11 be daw-gawned, Virginian heaves in sight. and the tall tow-headed Like all typical Virginia gentlemen, Bill always displays that air of frank courtesy which has made him a prominent figure at the hops. fl Bill joined the regulars away back in July, ' 16, and immediately let us know he had arrived by standing on his head for Hershey Conant. After much effort he showed Jonas how to crawl on his back and thus kept off the submarine squad. We all envy Bill in his ability to turn inat8:00p. m.and yet almost star. You will always find some saltines and peanut butter on his bookshelf— also Kipling and Edgar Allen Poe s» .«» fl Mien it comes to a tea fight, Bill ' s in his element; — putting on his gospel armor and swiping hairpins, pieces of fudge, etc. He s tall and tow-headed, he can drink any brand of tea, eat any kind of cookies, and can. flatter any girl he meets. Along with his cheery disposition, you ' 11 always find Bill ready to sympathize, do his share of any work, or rough-house, as the case may be — and feel richer for it. She ' s a mighty sweet little girl. Honors: Buzzard. Charles Marshall Huntington L. DOGA, InD. Mike Tecumseh Des Ani -■ E never would tell whether it was because he was I I J in love with a nurse, or simply because he wanted VA ' to be in style , but Youngster year he contracted every disease that any one else did and then some. He was in on the mumps, the measles, and even the slide rule epidemic — for, you know, it was being done that year. He has a wonderful record of hospitiil service, but yet, he ' s with us still. Which all goes to show that his phleg- matic temperament is but camouflage, that in reality he s a savoir in disguise. «| And Mike is not only a savoir but a scientist. He is a firm believer in the principle of conservation of energy, and in putting his belief into practise he wears out two pairs of trou for one blou. But, really, Mike is n ' t lazy, he is out for some form of athletics all the time .- s» In the fall it ' s baseball, in the winter tennis, and when baseball season rolls around he switches back to football. This is truly a most ingenious arrangement, for it never interferes with the meetings of the Radiator Club at 5 00 p. m. .■♦ .I But, seriously, Mike is — a practical man. He never stiirtled a prof in the section room, but juSt turn him loose with a good, hard, practical problem and he ' ll make our stars of the first magnitude look like nebula;. He is blessed with a heart as big as a ham, a figure Uke a sack of meal, and a face like Tecumseh. He is a level- headed thinker, and a man of action. Honors: Buzzard. niimimil Ml

o Chester Lee Walton Brownsville, Texas Tex Lizzie Luke Gil Bias NE day a handsome and dignified young man of nineteen, just emerging from the cactus of Texas, walked into Bobbie ' s. Janitor, will you please tell the owner of this bam that I am here? SI Jimmy: You ' re canned before you start, get out. ' That was the beginning of his naval career. Every day since then he has rhinoed about the swabo he just received, and then tries to make every one believe the marks were misprinted when he sees the 3.80 chalked up by his name. However, he takes help from no one and gives plenty, as all the old ground right will tell you. His messmates often wondered why he never seemed to be hungry until they got into his section and saw him emerge after a session with math, camouflaged with a chalk screen and disclaiming all knowledge of a chalk diet. Tex was racked by indecision throughout Plebe and Youngster years trying to decide whether he would make a bigger hit with the femmes in a gyrene or a naval uniform. He finally concluded that there is nothing like a life upon the bounding main, as long as the s ea remains mui quieto. Along with the N. P. O. S. medal presented to him for overcoming his roommate in the famous old Mexican game, he was awarded the shunt wound, interpole, two phase, arc lamp by Ampere Pete for offering the best target for Bubbles Fisher ' s marksmanship in Plebe year ; » a» Tex has always proved to be the same old reliable, good scout, liked by every one with whom he came into contact, and he will embark upon his life ' s work with the best wishes of all who know him. OscAK Arthur Weller Brownsville, TEX, a Tex John Duke Jack Dick XMAGINE a tall, blonde, handsome, athletic young man and you have Tex, better known as Snake, sometimes known as Jawn, and occasionally known as Jack. Away back in the ante-bellum days Tex was one of the baddest men of Brownsville, away down in the Valley of the Rio Grande. His favorite amusement seems to have been shooting and scalping Mexican bandits. However, as the Greasers began getting scarce and ammunition higher, Tex decided to find a new stamping ground. West Point and Crabtown were the only con- testants for the honor and Nax ' y won. Finding that six- shooters were taboo in Bancroft Hall vicinity, Tex gave up that kind of fighting and patronized the milder forms of combat, such as tea fights. Saturday nights until 9:30 we found him sitting in the gym gallery marking the drags and incidentally getting a line on all the -t.Os. . s Youngster year rolled around Tex busted out for the first hop and, even if he did drag the worst brick that ever deco- rated a ballroom floor, he made a noble start and has n ' t stopped yet. There is no secret about the fact that Tex is one of the finest fellows we have. His eternal smile and his good nature have made him many friends and will continue to do so wherever he goes. Those are my firm sentiments, dearest. f Gee, this guy. Midshipman ' Same, ' seems to have a rotten grease. He is on the ' pap ' sheet for two or three counts every day.
