He is never content un- ' less he is springing a joke on poor little W defenceless Rusty'l, and he keeps all 3 his neighbors guessing, forvthey never lcnow what to expect next. He is one ' of the two members of the class who have earned four football uC's in suc- 1 cession. He has never had to take Q utime out in a football game and was always on hand whenever the 'spepn was needed. He has fathered Bill and Hutchy , during the past two years and a more affectionate family is seldom found. The father always sets a good ' example, but the children require fre- ' quent encouragement , as can be at- tested by anyone who has ever had the ' pleasure of rooming directly under them. It must be confessed that a red-head- 'z I W . I ed roommate is an unusual handicap but Alex has succeeded, and he will w always carry the congratulations and Q best wishes of his classmates.

Ira followed his trunk to Charleston in 1911 and donned with the rest of us the cadet uniform and thus began his military career at The Citadel. He first chose tor himself an easy berth with the band, but soon after being appointed a corporal, he was inspired with a great ambition to attain a higher office in a more military organization. He then ioined a company as a private, but soon after he fell into the open arms ot the bugle corps, Where the summit ot his military ambition was reached by his being appointed a sergeant. During the last two years he has be- come quite ailadyls man, and the phone is constantly working overtime trans- porting some of Irais entrancing words, which ring sweetly in some little ladyls ears. It appears from the number of reports he has gotten by being late re- turning trom leave, that he has been overworlcing the English language among the ladies. Ar last, in his Senior year, he thought he could find a channel for his gushing flood of words in the English course, and there he blindly placed his fate. It was here that he learned to admire all that is ustrangely beautituln, and we loolc for him to purusuel' his future call- ing with much success. UNOW, fellows, itqs this way.n
