HAM, Private Co. Bug Relay and Track Teams CYD, Class Baseball Team: Calliopean Literary Society. 'sTatersM first won fame at The Cita- del in his rat year by accomplishing an almost impossible feat: he succeeded in winning a wager that he could eat a whole can of salmon with neither a bite of bread nor a drink of water. From this time on, his fame has spread until now it has reached the uThames,M Where he spends many a pleasant evening. But Boyd's fame has many branches. He has the admirable trait of being' an excellent Dutch scholar. His pro- ficiency in this language became so great fhe being able to sit beside the pleas- ant upoolen asking' for Grace from fn, with the world-renowned words of ulch liebe dichnj, that he tool: Spanish in his Senior year for the sake of va- riety, English, French and German not being sufficient to meet his demands. Chick is one of the most original jolcers known. I think that is why he has decided to become a star dancer in his last year. ' It is a pity Boyd waited so late to begin his wonderful career, but having' shown such very marked tendencies toward so doing, we feel confident that he will rise to still greater heights, if such a thing be possible.

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.

THOMAS OLIVER CANNON Clifton, S. C. in uprussicu Civil Engineering Tlulnlz you, a little din can daunt mine ears? Have I not in my time heard lions roar? Have I not heard great ordnance fn the feld, And 71eaven's artillery thunder in the skies? Private uBandN, Corporal uBandH, First Sergeant Band , Private Banning Assistant Baseball Manager QQD., Base- ball Manager uprussicl' is a weird combination of trivolity and seriousness. When Bully rounds him up, the latter mood gener- ally takes full possession of his soul: but just let Guy come around and it takes four men to drown his mirth. For three years Artillery didnqt have a care save for the time he was first sergeant of that noble organization, the band. Then there came a change. He became a very business-like person, arranging schedules for the baseball team: and-marvel ye who read it- writing innumerable dainty missives to the ladies. But no one could reasonably expect such remarkable linguistic talent to remain forever dormant. It just had to break out, and it certainly went along the line of least resistance. However, this man would convince a brass monkey that it was First Lord of the Admiralty -so what matters it which line he pur- sues? Good-bye, nprussicu. After you have spent about four years in the Sen- ate you may be able to convince some ingenuous Representative that it will re- quire a brilliant man to H11 your place in the government.
