If you should be an auditor when he is throwing bull like a rapid Iire machine gun, you would think that the thrower was one of those bellicose, belligerent hard-guy roughnecks. 'l'hen to get your optics upon him, you say to yourself, Dem sure are brave words, strangerf' Fussing, my, my, my but that is where he puts the Fuss in Fusser. After a short time in Doolittle's company, the fair sex generally make a remark similar to this- Oh, l could just die for Mr. Bradley. He is similar to a sailor in one important respect-he has several girls-note the plurality-in every port. When it comes to a question of brains, Doolittle is right. The only subject upon which Doolittle gets hung' upon is French. XVe frequently hear this expression issuing from Doc, Ach, Bradley, do you expect to quituate next year ? . It is often said that the best goods come in small packages. So it is a general supposition that this is the reason for lJoolittle's diminutiveness. VVell, we wish Doolittle success in the path which he decides will lead him to fame, fortune and glory. We are sure, taking into account his corpuleney CU if the path is of wooden planks he will bust a board. Which do l like the best. Ladies or Studies ?--l.ADlliS! 89 ii

School. N Two things give Bourke unbounded f delight. One of these is following the trail of SIll3.ii'g2ll'l1C with a loaded shot-gun. The other Cwlnch is probably a greater Joyb is shaking the light fantastic toe with ' a certain chosen member of the fair sex. ' We believe that Clyde intends to become a chemist, as he devotes much of his time to the study of the Black Art. Do not be misled into thinking that Clyde is a believer in honing however. Chemistry is the one exception that proves the rule that Bourke disapproves of studying. He kills chemistry by that method, - but he would like to kill some other sciences by the same 'means that he kills rabbits. Ask him how much he cares for finding the cosine of alpha. , - ' ' ln the summer, however, he almost works himself to' death coining money as a salesman in partnership with Mont Lowman. When Clyde starts getting off his jokes, it is hard to keep the squir- rels away, as they think he is a nut, and most people agree with them. We wonder why he doesn't try catching squirrels with his many jests, and thus save shot-gun shells. Despite his faults, however. Clyde is a good all-around man, ready to help the next follow out. We wish him the best of success in any occupation he may choose. 88

A product of XrVestern Maryland, up where the earth and sky seem to meet, a fusser, an athlete, the man who receives more letters than 'ill of Junior tloor combined-that's t'Cookie. Being a scholar by nature, and an vjtjjx athlete by inclination he decided to leavehis beloved mountain stronghold and sally 3 forth into the world to win laurels for his name. Within one year he Jumped from a private to first sergeant of Company B, and is cap- ' ' S l ' ' 1 X I 1 . s 1 tam of next year's basket ball team. Our lVlountain Goat has one chief delight-to sleep. He spends all of Sunday. morning in bed. One Sunday, fearing that Puss Watson was after his laurels in this line, he spent the whole day there. Cookie spent a year here before he knew that such things as Femmes existed. Previous to our Junior year, he considered them supertluous 'cargo that the world must carry around with it. But lately he has become a Fusser, a whole heart and soul Fusser. 'He can scent a brick a mile off. His correspondence has assumed an enormous size, but with it all there's one to whom he holds true. When Cupid suddenly appeared in his path, and commanded Hands Up l Cookie succumbed. ilivcrything he undertakes is carefully done, whether it be in class, on the drill field, or the charming of some fair one. We wish him success in everything he may undertake. With his careful, logical mind, and jolly good nature, it could hardly be otherwise. 90
