Theodore Hertzel Kobey bisbee, arizona ••Ted HEY! M.C., is six letters all I get this mail? I believe you ' re holding out on me. (And usually he is). This question, girls, should introduce our Cactus Cavalier, the Bisbee Bedouin. He hails from Arizona, that part of God ' s country v here they raise mesquite, cactus, and (so he claims) he-men. Though timid by nature the weaker sex have made of him one of the greatest of Snakes. And it was not an easy task either, but years of concentrated efforts will change anything or anyone, and then the 4.0 just would- n ' t let him alone. This is his way of putting it — modest thing — but I, his roommate, know that this easy-going care-free son of the desert has attained his present height through months of concentrated study of a little life saver for social aspirants entitled: How to be Popular Though Self-Conscious, Homely, and Pessimistic. I should like you to value what I have done, not what I happen to be. After all, though, he ' s harmless, and before the Academics he ' s fearless. Hey, there, yuh draggin ' ?

HE ' S from the wild and wooly West where men are men. Shady was quite collegiate when he first entered the Naval Academy but his education under ' 13 made an all-round midshipman of him. Shady is pretty savvy when he wants to be. Plebe year he spent two months in the Hospital and starred. On the other hand, he has decorated several trees as beautifully as 2..0 can smile at you. The Sheik is quite a ladies ' man. If it isn ' t one, it ' s two. If he drags one girl more than twice in succession, he is in love with her. He missed a hop once on account of extra duty but made up for it by dragging two to the next one. There are two big things about Shady, though: his appetite and his grin. These two things are never dim- inished. Even when he is about to lose his temper from the troubles that come his way, he gets so mad that he laughs. It is odd to see the humor he finds in trouble.

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.

HERE you have him, the man who ' s never been bricked. Yes, there ' s a reason, and it ' s not that he doesn ' t drag. We cannot recall missing him at any Hop since Youngster June Ball, nor at any function between hops, and his encumbrances have always been worth looking at twice. You know it can ' t always be luck. But why be superfluous? You can ' t help guessing it. He ' s just an all-round, straight, clean, honest-to-gosh man. Although handicapped by his size, he has done more than welHor his company and class in boxing, gym, and rifle. He was as highly successful in his battle with old General Academics as in everything else he undertook, and moreover was always willing to aid his less fortunate classmates; it was very seldom that anyone left Ralph ' s room not knowing what it was all about. His adaptability and efficiency assure the success of his every undertaking. He ' ll make a capable officer, of whom we may well be proud; in short, he is the type of friend and classmate upon whom we ca n depend under all circumstances.

Ralph Henning Moijreau chicago, illinois Meeroiv Wesley Arnold Wright lynn, massachusetts Hammy Salty HAMMY was a member of the Old Navy in the capacity of yeoman. However, things around Crab- town came natural to him and he soon found himself entirely at home. Harnmy has most of the virtues of the men in blue, but he is not without his faults. He has his weaknesses, the outstanding one being the weaker sex, or more appro- priately, the week-end sex. It is rather difficult to say whether the femmes have got him or whether he has the femmes. Hammy has set a pretty good stride in athletics but his love for chow overbalances his desire to become a second Jim Thorpe and it is only after much endeavor that he has been able to break loose from his appetite and get down to actual participation. He has a natural gift of making friends, and his ready wit, and quick response to an S.O.S. for help in Math have placed him high in the estimation of his classmates. Hammy is the kind of fellow who never needs a friend because they are all his friends. With his natural genius for Math he should easily be able to compete with the best of them in the Construction Corps, and we all hope that he makes his mark.
