Intense excitement was once created among the corps of cadets by Joe or Lubricator running across the parade ground. A special detail was imme- diately appointed to carry him to the hospital. Joe habitually refuses coffee on Sunday mornings, for fear it may keep him awake during chapel. He is a flirt , and though too modest to acknow- ledge the fait, the girls dote on him.

He is perhaps the most diligent student in the class, and on account of this and his large feet , he will leave his foot-prints on the sand of time. D.

Johnnie is a man who has exerted his talents and made something of him self. It cannot be said of him that he was influenced by pride or cowardice to sit in a corner and growl; but, governed by a high sense of honor and a conscious- ness that he was right, he was never afraid to. face any man and abide by his honest convictions. He sits high in all the people ' s hearts; and that which would appear offence in us, his counte- nance, like richest alchemy, would change to virtue and to worthiness.

He has the distinction at the veterinary clinics of being able to pre- scribe for only one kind of disease, that is, for a hungrv horse. Among his many accomplishments may be men- tioned song-writing. He is the author of the hundred-verse ballad, Oh, de crown him Lord of all. His gymnas- tic feets have been, and ahvavswill be a wonder to his associates. 22
