Jim is second Lieu tenant in his company, and is well liked by all the cadets under him. lie entered Durfee four years ago from the Davenport School, and his noble (?) countenance may still be found wherever there is a crowd of the “boys.” Jimmie is a good basketball player, and had there been a team this year, lie would surely have had place. However, he especially shines in baseball, holding down second base in hue style, and who of the nine will forget his jollity and impromptu entertainments on the trains, when we made trips?
