But what he claims he would do when he gets there uould not look well in,print. He seems to float along through life, not living according to any set rule, but picking his way along the lines of least resistance. He has likes and dislikes which may be termed dis- tinguishing characteristics. But to find out what-these likes and dis- likes are, one must be on intimate terms with this celebrity. Then he will unburden his heart to you and will soon have you con- vinced that the world is wrong and he is right. However, his phil- osophy of life is met with approval by one of his contemperaries at least. I-le holds regular sessions on Junior floor to discuss the rot- tenness of things in general and the,doom. of the hopeless speci- mens about him. , But maybe some fair damsel in Grantsville is due to change his lolutlook on life and reclaim him from the mist which now envelopes ,S im. The class of 1918 as a whole joins in wishing him the greatest success in his chosen vocation, and we hope that some day we may ,- with pride recall the days when we were so close to him.

He 11215 a way of approaching and 'kidding with lhe 'profs. that is hard to explain. W1tl1 his line and powerful grease to back it up, he is a wonder 1n the class roo111. In German, his vocabulary consists of three words, Sprechen Sie Deutsch? but he has been taking this subject only two years now, and has a good chance of passing it off before he graduates. ln some respects, Doe is like a wandering Jew. One day l1e drills i11 tl1e Company, while another day finds him producing noise in that makeup of the companies' outcasts and exiles. He claims that he is a good cornetist, but the sounds that he makes remind one of a German submarine crying for help in a fog. We advise him to cast l1is energy and wind upon a more fruitful Held. Doc, however, is a good fellow, and we wish him good luck ns he goes forth in life.
