At the Point. Watson is associated with " snake " — absolutely ! Yes, Eddie likes the feinmes and (not at all hard to understand after looking at him) they all like him. too. A funny thing about Eddie is — he ' s always tired. Many a time in Summer Camp he would drag into the tent about 11:30 A. M. (after watching the Yearlings perform at drill all morning) — then sit on his cot with head be- tween hands and rest til 12:25. From then until 12:30 there would be frantic efforts to find white trouj soap, etc.. amidst moans of " no time to do anything around here. " Per- haps the thing that started him off in being tired was his achievement in Second Class June Week of breaking all previous records for con- sistent and continuous P. S. ' ing.

" " Little wonder, " I responded, " it is a rather big course. " Hut you can ' t bast him. He came back: " I suppose it is because I cannot like it; it is so common. " That is the fight and spirit which has made Wenzie the best Captain the 1925 " F " Co. in- tramural football team ever had. Why they even have a popular Christmas song beginning, " Good King Wenceslaus looked out " — Wenzie has long since learned to recite it backwards. But when I asked him about himself he smiled and resumed his book. That ' s Wenzie for you — silent always. But he ' ll get there. Page " tic hundred forty-eight
