John Osgood Lambrecht viola, wisconsin Chink John Osgood H i ING watched those wild waves on Lake ' Michigan from both Illinois and Michigan, John decided to go out for bigger game, so he immed- iately discarded his English Walkers and that cute little blue suit for a pair of Stetsons and some more blue — Navy blue. And it came to pass that by plug- ging at the right time and in the right way he man- aged to frustrate whatever hopes the Ac Department ever had of sending him back to civilian life. He was not with us very long before he showed his pugilistic talents which gave him numerals Second Class year. A lead with the left and a cross with the right is just a business way of saying it won ' t be long now. Everything capable of making ye knots, interests him whether it is an old tub of a boat or not. Speak- ing of boats, there is one exception to be made — canoes — especially on North West Arm. When we hear him begin, Now when I made that trip to Algeciras, or On that ride to Wisconsin Youngster Sep. Leave, there is no doubt in our mind that he loves all the r est. What — no mail! Waldo Nicholas Christensen english lake, indiana Christy OH, Uncle Henry! Do tell us a story! Hush, children, said Uncle Henry, I was just about to tell vou the story of a white-haired, smiling, sailor lad. Is it Waldo? None other, laughed Uncle Henry. Oh! Goody! Goody! cried all the little mids as they clapped their hands in glee, for they dearly loved to hear of this gentleman from Indiana. One dav Christy was heard to say that he might end his life on the farm, but that he intended to see the world first and to see it in the popular way — by joining the Navy. Although not a savoir his tussle with the Aca- demics was the least of his worries and, being what Emerson says one should not be, he puts no more time in on his studies than necessary. Nine o ' clock each night finds him with his head resting on the table, not floored but non- chalant. What ' s the use of stay- ing in the Navy when my dad has a farm . :

Warren Whitney Johnson hollis, long island, new york Olie Szvede Red THE alluring lights of Broadway were unheeded — Olie came to us unspoiled, but he mixed names and faces in a deplorable way, a crime for which he has done penance because he has acquired more nicknames than he himself can remember. Just make a noise like one of them and he will respond. A spirited energy pervades Olie. He is continually working out and having varying success with athlet- ics. Even while he bones, his jaws put out the ergs. If you ask him the reason, however, you will hear, beautifies the tooth, perfumes the breath, aids digestion — ! Each of us possesses some idiosyncrasy. Ohe ' s is a hobby of collecting pipes and cigarette holders, combined with an aversion for cigarettes. When Old Nick holds sway, gather ' round, for no Turk ever smoked through such ingenious devices as Olie devises. The femmes seldom both- ered him. Hey, Gus; we ' re both on the Juice tree Yet. No, Skags, thanks. Have some chewin ' gum. ' Class Soccer (4, J, 2, 1): Class Track (4, 3); Numerals (3); Varsity Track (2); Varsity Numerals (2); Mandolin Club (4,3,2.!). George Edward Fee tonopah, nevada LrUS FILL me again with that old, familiar juiCtef ' Methinks I might recover bye and bye. — Rubaiyat. An honest, hardworking chap who sprang from the silver mines of Nevada, Gus delights in argument and never waxes angry. Always good-natured and good- hearted, he never holds a grouch longer than a half hour. He is constantly looking for some person with whom to share his worldly goods, but never asks others to share with him unless we bring up the subject of cigarettes. Occasionally he is seen at the hops when he is unable to avoid them — she will not be a brick. He possesses delicate curls which he nourishes quite often with non-reg haircuts; and he lavishes mucho upon his appearances. Insistent upon hovering around radiators, Gus will always be remembered by a frequent extract from his line — Come on over and have a skag. r,ll

Clinton Henry Sigel virginia, minnesota Chuck Clint Charlie SINCE that sunny day in July, 1921, when Chuck embarked on ' 25 ' s stormy voyage, we have been forced to admit that Virginia is the coming city of western civilization — but we hate to think what it ' s coming to! Civic pride, however, is not Chuck ' s only attrib- ute. Plebe summer he began to absorb Spike Webb ' s fistic teachings; soon he was much elated with train- ing table toast. Increased avoirdupois Youngster year put boxing into the background and he took up the reins of manager. Active in Lacrosse, our cute littl e boy with the curly hair has graced Worden field for four years as a member of the class team. Since Youngster year he has also been an active member of both the Log and Lucky Bag staffs. Academics have been the bane of his existence. He has never averaged more than a 3.2, but he says, We can ' t all be savvy. And he says he is a Red Mike. How about that daily Minneapolis letter, Chuck? Another Gin Ricky, waiter!

Adolph Hede new york city, n. y. Al Hed Abie WHEN our handsome Leatherneck gav% Lp the Gyrenes for the Navy, he naturally stepped right into responsibility. We first saw him teaching the rudiments of military drill to his less apt class- mates who stared, awe-stricken, at this finished product of Paris Island and Quantico. He early made a choice of activities, and picked soccer as his one sport beside sub-squad swimming. In both of these branches of athletics he proved his worth by making the squad all four years. But Al ' s greatest achievements were along journalistic lines. As chief of the Athletic Staff, he greatly improved that section of the Log. Not satis- fied with one man ' s work, he also landed the job of Athletic Editor for the Lucky Bag which likewise was successful under his care. Not to mention Abie ' s affairs of the heart would be to leave his biography decidedly incomplete; but due to lack of space, we can only say that he is eternally in love, and with one girl (one at a time). However, in spite of this and a curious failing for odd souvenirs from such places as Thorwaldsen ' s in Copenhagen, we consider Al the finest shipmate of all, and look with certainty to his success, whether he enters the Army, the Navy, or the Horse Marines.
