Charles Fredric Horne, Jr. new york city Bud Charlie THE original instigator of the heterodyne complex. Devoted disciple of Marconi. When I was a Plebe it was a Youngster rate; and when I was a Youngster it was a Second Class rate; and now it is a First Class rate. Just for spite, I won ' t have one at all next year. So said Charlie when the order was published making radios a First Class rate. However, a man must reserve the right to change his mind if circumstances warrant it, and that bleary-eyed look at many a breakfast bespoke after- taps investigations of ethereal disturbances. Neverthe- less, his keen interest in and his knowledge of the science of the RI drop have proved of incalculable value to the Academy. To him the stage managers said, Let there be light, and he made light. Extra duty and extra instruction are almost perfect strangers in Charlie ' s life — especially so extra instruction. Being untroubled Academically, his after-drill periods were spent with the three-fourths inflated ball, and oh! the gallons he has imbibed! and the countless attempts he has made to breath under water! If this quality of persistence stays with him, it can never be said of him, His was a wasted life.

HUBIE evidently took What Can Literature Do For Me? seriously. It goes without saying that a knowledge of human nature is necessary for good leader- ship, and wasn ' t he told Plebe year, Literature can give you a better knowledge of human nature? The Boy and His Books — what an apt title that would be for a portrait of him in a typical pose. He has been known to study on occasion, but whenever there is a choice between reading fiction and doing something else, he invariably reads. Hubert with his Saturday Evening Post and his Bull Durham is all set for a pleasant after- noon. A little workout now and then, of course, although he was a Charter Member of the Sub-Squad. He was naturally a little bit lazy, with starts of ambition occa- sionally for soccer and bowling. Cheerful most of the time, particularly so on Saturday mornings when the choir didn ' t have to go to drill. He dragged as much as any of us, but as there is safety in numbeVs Hubie seems in no danger of being seriously affected yet. He and the pap sheet became quite intimate, and he dragged Lady Springfield quite a bit. Gee, that was a terrible exam — is the mail all out yet?

YOUTH, the Joy of Living, but without Sorrows there would be no Joy. Our Nell knows. It happened a long time ago. A picture, something bound with a pink ribbon, memories — need I say more? Sad? Oh, no, that something in his eyes denotes experience, age-old exper- ience; ' tis thus we learn. For instance, one sleeps in Church but once; one sleeps through drill but once; just ask the king of the sand pile, and take heed. And he is a persistent lad. Picture a mere youth, standing on the sand pile, a fast express — then, flying legs, clutching hands — he didn ' t miss anything and is still going strong. The right bat, a long easy swing and there you are: baseball, studies, or whatever it may be, he gets there. Need we make predictions; well started means well ended and the Country needs such men whether it be as officers in the Service or officers of public service.

Neville Goodloe Holeman dawson springs, kentucky Nellie Goodie Clarence Wade McClusky BUFFALO, new YORK Mac Wade S AY, wait until I tell you about the ones I got this leave ; thus begins a good story on why girls leave home. But with all this it is a safe bet that down in his heart there is only room for one and we all know who that is. Ask him — he doesn ' t mind telling you. And it all started Plebe summer. Wade also has his difficulties with the Academics, for some nights, he has to study almost a half hour on one day ' s lesson which means he can ' t turn in before eight- thirty. Mac ' s philosophy of life is never to let anything inter- fere with pleasure, because you are young only once. It took him a long time to decide to dedicate his life to the Service, but to hear him talk of Buffalo, with its many wonders, it is hard to see how he ever tore himself away from the old homestead. When Mac finally worked up enough ambition (in- spired by a certain sweet young thing} to break away from the radiator, we had great hopes for him; then bad luck in the form of a sprained shoulder ruined everything. If June 1916 finds Mac still looking for that wonderful position, we all think the Navy will be the winner and civilian life the loser. BlackN ; Class Football (2); Expert Rifleman. 361

SUNNY JIM is a Cosmopolitan who uses an ever- ready smile. From looking at him you can ' t quite decide whether he is from Reno, Nevada, or Bangor, Maine. From his Roman features, delicate countenance and abundant, black hair you would judge him to be a musician, poet or painter. But Jim is that way; he fools one. His mandolin serves only to keep the dust olF the top of the locker. And as far as poetry and pictures go, why, he never had the right Juice Prof for them. Jim likes Fords, rifles and one girl. He understands Fords and rifles. Being a survivor of Well ' s Line, his history library crowds out Cosmos and other famous literature. Because he points such a mean shooting iron, fame hunted him down and several yellow numbers have been his for the buving. Jim is also a successful football manager, and he avers to this day that his team could have shown up the arsity. The sub-service (no, not subway, or subconscious) appeals to him; but tierra firme attracts him as the square of the distance, and in the future we ' ll address his mail to Pontiac.

No, sir. Well, how in the world do you keep sat? Thus was poor astonished Ab confronted one day in Juice. It was a surprise to us all for the poor boy had starred his Plebe year and stood within the first hundred of his class. In spite of this astounding revelation, we all thought he was talented in brain matter and every day a stricken soul could be heard, Oh Albert, didja work the 153rd? Then given plenty of time he would eventually reply, Ye-es. Not starring athletically Ab early coupled his literary ability with a certain amount of business sense and was proclaimed Circulation Manager of the Log, which duty he faithfullv discharged. He was a Red Mike pure and gentle as a lamb. Peter- man ' s Twenty held no swav over his emotions. But when another man would have dragged his weary footsteps led him toward the Republic or the Circle where he seemed to be completely satisfied. We all hope that when some fair creature does capture our dear old Foxy Grandpa that she doesn ' t take unfair advantage of his docile nature.
