United States Naval Academy - Lucky Bag Yearbook (Annapolis, MD)

aND now, ladies and gentlemen, meet Kid Boarman, the Roundup AVildeat, an old timer, and as he will have it, from the wilds of the further west. His transformation from cow puncher to blase sea dog has been in doubt some times, but now seems to be a matter of fact. Ah therel " ' Dizzy! " ^ Argument seems to be his long suit, and if he can ' t heave the heaviest line he ' 11 offer to settle it with the gloves .«» .■♦ ^ He had easy enough going Plebe year with the academic hounds, but lost most of his momentum Youngster year, due to his too easy acceptance of things as they came. Thanks to an ability to bone strenuously at the last minute, he ' s still with us. ^ The " Kid " first burst into prominence when he dragged on Lover ' s Lane about the time of Plelje semi-ans. He received more attentions from then on than he knew what to do with, but it seems he has been successful in passing the buck since he passed the transition period. ^ Always a devotee of Lady Nicotine, he had quarters reserved for him on the Reina Youngster year. ^ For all his faults " Monty " has no small number of friends and promises to come up to their expectations. fl " Sorry, but I can ' t. I m on the grade. " Honors: Clean Sleer OB ' S " a quiet chap, something like the radius gyration — it ta kes a long time to really know him. Once you do, though, you find him altogether worth while s» .■ > » ^ He strolled in one day when Plebe summer was nearly over, jumped into khaki, and Ijraced the D. O. for ten feet of skirmish line to lash his strong bo.x. He " s been with the bonnie bunch ever since in more ways than one. ^ Fussing has n ' t seemed to appeal to him much since a certain memorable instance. He claims that the sport is incommensurable with the trouble. But you " 11 always find him in the stag line. ^ He does n ' t particularly shine in his classes, but " Cunny " usually manages to come through, maybe with a 3.0 average. The English profs fell for the smooth line and contributed toward the general average for a while, but they came to, when he back-slid and began to bone Math. Once or twice the Academic Department got his name and number, but he burned a few extra calories, raised a little more steam and slipped away in the excitement of the chase. f j " Bob " has a well-developed sense of humor that bids fair to tide him over many a rough situation. But he ' s such a nice fellow all in all. that, taken earnestly, he " s boimd to rise in the service. Honor.f: Buzzard; Expert Rifleman.
