SZ4 WL INCE Hliuslerl' came into our crowd, we have noticed several of his faults, the chief one being his inability to hear reveille. At tirst the bugle only had to sound and he was awake, but week by week his ability became weakened until finally the united 1 efforts of the bugle and his room-mate scarcely had any effect upon him. The climax was reached when a second reveille blown six inches from his ear, left Buster still sleeping on. His great love for sleep caused him to lose his Corporal chevrons-for one day when he was O. G., Assembly sounded and the post tlag was still down. To late! Too late! to take your postg This morn you dine on poor milk,toast. ' gf, During his wakeful moments he has acquired in his own opinion quite a reputation as a pitcher. ln fact he almost made us think so by his sterling performance against Navy, for a third inning, but alas, his sad performances when pitching for the Reserve team has driven all such ideas from our minds. To hear him telling the time when he batted the ball over the fence on Tucker we are lead to he- lieve he is some batter, but to see him swinging at a ball one can easily believe that his bat has a repulsive feeling ,toward the hall. But with his few faults, Buster has many noble traits, and we all join in wishing him a happy and prosperous career as he goes forth into life. v:zf3-gpg-4 52315-Z7 115

' Time, I dare you to discover Such a youth and such a lover. ADIES and gentlemen, this as yet unclassed specimen is the only one of its kind in captivity. lt's natural habitat is in the dense jungles of evergreen on the Eastern ,.,,,w,., Shore, but is occasionally found as far west as Annapolis. ifiaiaiii Wig is a jolly good fellow, full of life and fun, always ready to laugh or cheer up some down-hearted comrade. His great delight is to be upon the athletic field each day to help the team in any possible way. Like all other fellows from the Eastern Shore, he has been afflicted with fair sexitisf' His numerous pilgrimages to Baltimore have been the subject of much speculation, therefore need no explanation. By his classmates he is known as a confirmed fusser but by the fair sex a regular divil. lle thinkslit is a sin to stag to a hop, and on each occasion he appears on the scene with' s,ome,queen whose attractiveness Junior floor has learned a week or more previously. Wig is the chief trumpeter of the cadet corps and has held this responsible position for the past two years. ln his studies he is a 'lsliining star, which is clue to the consumption of much midnight oi . The thoroughness with which he executes his present military duties leads us to believe that later he desires to join the personnel of the commissioned officers in the United Stats Army, but what- ever walk of life he pursues. Wig will make a success. 114

Motto: His gwrztcst failure is l1'if'l'I'-'Et'l1l'd'.U lNDY , we must admit, is a peculiar person, for he has ideas, habits and hobbies all his own. and it is diftieult to nmkc him change-them. Q,g,4,g,Q He has an optimistic way of looking upon his studies, believing most lnghly in Sfsfs'x'v his ability to pass off work by means of exams instead of class work. He very seldom attends classes, he cares not whether he gets soaked for he has charge of the demerit book, and at the end of the term one finds him working away, trying to pass the work off. lf everyone carried out VVindy's theory there would be no need of this extraneous paraphernalia around college, including' Jack, Bob and Duckey. All this great C?D expense would be saved, and the honor system would only be tested twice a year. ' ' Windy is a military man. When one hears his melodious voice squeak out f-o-r-w-a-r-d m-a-r-c-h, thought of the happiness oi this world vanishes, while those of pestots, poison and rope spring up in order to end this miserable existence. Some day he will learn. His experiences and troubles on the border were many, and from these have originated that motto which has trailed him throughout the year: 4 Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where thy victory! Yet with all these slight imperfections Windy is a true St. John's man, a man always ready to help his fellow school mates, and has the interest of the ,lunior Class at heart. ' 116
