HCM: Adjutant Stattq Picked Co. f3j: Relay Team, 1911-12. How he ever happened to find the way from Sampit to Charleston, nobody lcnowsq but one thing is certain, that when he arrived and sent the news back home CU, he evidently said more than uVeni, vidi, vicif' for 'tis said that it took six cents to carry the letter. But in spite of his correspondence course, Bailey has found time for real work at The Citadel. He has demonstrated what can be done by keeping continually at it , and he has made some hustle to lceep him from the very top in scholar- ship. Because he doesn't dance, Harry is never thought of as a ladies, manq' but some of us have an idea that he is far from being a real bachelor., because, altho he never sings 1 Love the Ladies he thinks that Wrhat Old Girl of Mineql is very pretty. In military Bailey's ambition has led him through circuitous routes, tinally landing him in the adjutanfs office. But of all his career here we feel sure that his connection with the artillery squad will, in the future, prove his best assetQ for if there is one thing that he will need it is to. know how to manage ucannonu. Having this knowledge, we predict for him a success to be proud ot.

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

I don't care though. Doc's going to give me a furlough next month and rm goin' home. Poor boy: at the first glance one would really believe him., but deep down under that forlorn expression there is another Tom. When it comes to a point of military life' he just isn't interested at all. But just let some so- cial event roll round and no sick man ever convalesced more rapidly. Helwill lie on his hard old mattress for hours when he is actually suffering for water, and moan until some one enters the room and hands him a drinlcq but let him start down street with the crowd and everyone has to quit except Tom. Among the fKDnights he has an en- viable reputation, too. We like him because he has sense enough to quit at times. He may worry us at times about going to see Doc when we are looking for him, but once found there isn't a truer friend in the corps. l'le is round here then, and it takes a pretty hard jar to make him let go. Tom, sleep sweetly: let your dreams be peaceful and your awakening gentle - Oh, Tom!-H He's asleep.
