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

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.

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.

' HIS aliove combination of good looks, magnetic personality, play, work and femmes - entered St. John's during our Sophomore year,' fresh from a sojourn in a West Vir- 3:4,K,Q ginia military school. v Upon arriving in Annapolis, Devie's first act' was to learn s.sfA'v the extent of the femnnne population, and, at present, what he doesnt know about . . . . . . . .i 1 l il: ,YI this particular subject is scarcely worth mentioning. Bill is what may he tcimcc 1 typict fusser, and. is known among the fair sex as a heart-breaker. Q l When it comes to good-hearted fun, one does not have to look far to hnd l8ill. 'lle just naturally is present. Last spring he joined the S. J. C. Machine Gun Company, and when President Wilson issued a call, Bill marched away to Texas, where under the direction of Uncle Sam all the fine points of the army mule were imparted to him Cespecially the hoof.5 One of the best military men in the class, Devie, though a Junior Earries the American flag at parade, handling it with a reserve all is own. ' A hard driller, a good student, full of fun, and a way of his own with the ladies makes him an ideal St. John's man. lNe predict for him a bright future. With his fun loving disposition it could hardly be otherwise. It alone will carry him through thedark places in the ' ' . years to come. But knowing him as we do, we do not doubt that whatever Devie undertakes will undoubtedly be a success. ' All hail, King of Fussers! iw ' 's ,lL 91
