He is mostly from Wheeling, but a few traces of the old country can be seen at times. ‘‘Louie’’ proved to be a find to our athletic work and in an academic way he—oh, well, that doesn’t count. His voice is ex- tremely touching and he has often been asked, ‘ Why virls leave home?’’ Anyway, he has somewhat of a nightingale warble. He wrote to a girl once and now answers lots of advertisements. Ambitious ?— yes, he has them at times, and we predict for him— | well, we know he will always be a good boy, so here’s ! to you, Louie! ’’ ‘64 man that can’t sing and will sing ought to be sent to Sing-Sing.’’ | JAMES WILLIAM SHARP, JR.

This stout, homesick lad joined our ranks in the | early springtime of ’11. Many trials and temptations in schools throughout the country drove him wandering about until he finally found an abode at Ft. Defiance. | ‘ Bill,’’? being accustomed to military before he arrived, set out to win his ‘‘gold.’’ His first year’s work yielded a ‘‘corp’’ and in return this year, hopeful of his ‘‘lieu,’’ but the special order seemed to differ, and ‘‘Bill’’ is gaining glory as a First Sergeant. ‘‘Bill’’ is not only popular among the cadets, but is a great ladies’ man, and our only fear is that he will leave us for the town of matrimony. ‘¢Woman! Woman! Oh, where wilt thou lead me???’ Twenty

He earned a ‘‘rep’’ last year as a bugler, but having visions of himself as O. D., gave up his ‘‘erip’’ for the delights (!) of a sash and sword. ‘‘Did I get a letter from Lewisburg?’’ can be heard emanating from No. 6 any day about the time for the mail, and joy reigneth when ‘‘ Bub’’ gets his letter. ‘ To lengthen thy life shorten thy meals.’’ TALBOT BARCLAY HAMLIN Virginia 1910-11: Private ‘‘B’’ Company; Competitive Drill Medal. 1911-12: Corporal ‘‘A’’ Company. 1912-13: Second Lieutenant ‘‘A’’ Company; Associate Edi- tor, RECALL; Military Editor, The Bayonet; Presi- dent, Class of 1913; Cheer Leader; Business Mana- ger, Dramatic Club; Secretary, Literary Society. eon,” ‘ Red,’’ ‘ Owl’’ Fresh from the wilds of Danville this government beneficiary blew into civilization in the fall of 1910. His first year he rose to prominence by winning the individual competitive drill medal. His second and third years he came out still stronger, pulling down a corporal and a lieutenant respectively. This year he is generally known as the guy who pays post- age on letters coming and going. His chief desire is to be a night rider, and among his many accomplish- ments is his ability to do the following: to pay two cents due on letters, get the third stoop under arrest, and to shine in musical lines, being the originator of the ‘‘ Hamlin Serenade. ’’ ‘ Bluff others or they’ll bluff you.’’ Nineteen

THOMAS ANDREW SHAVER Virginia 1910-11: Private ‘‘B’’ Company. 1911-12: Private ‘ B’? Company. 1912-13: Sergeant ‘‘A’’ Company. ‘‘Sciver,’’ ‘‘Tommy,’’ ‘‘Green Pea’’ This specimen of Mother Nature’s verdancy drifted into barracks in the fall of 710, with all of his belongings tied up in a red bandana handkerchief. When this green, but fertile, production of the pastures first arrived, it is said that our gentle cows mistook his countenance for provender. But nevertheless, undaunted by his reception, he bravely walked up to the commandant and asked for a key to the campus, as he wanted to select a good room. Although bur- dened by these defects, Tommy has at last risen to a semi-barbarous state and is considered by many the most brilliant of his class. “ A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.’’ THEODORE COOKE WATERS Maryland 1907-8-9-10: Private ‘‘B’’ Company. 1910-11: Cor- poral ‘‘B’’?

As a winner with the ladies, he is there, but that does not keep ‘¢Ted’’ from being one of the most popular men in school. ““4 lion among ladies is a dreadful thing.’’ Twenty-One
