VVlhen Max first came he made more noise than Cocheu, but he had to use the bass drum to do it. The military authorities decided that that occupation was having too rounding an effect upon Max and he was soon en Csnaredl. A beater of time.

We do not mean to insinuate that his face is a blank, far from it, but we do say that his conversation reminds one of a gushing stream. Words tumble out one after the other, long words and short words, broad words and thin words until we have as ingenious a mixture as one could imagine. His lisp is a whirlpool twisting the words around until they are an unrecog- nizable mass. Thus he talks. His character is somewhat like a waterfall, especially the fall part. His falls are notorious. f VVhy do we say so much about him? He is important. The girls love him for his peroxided hair, the Faculty love him for his studiousness, and the cadets love him for his childish ways. He has long debated on what to waste his young life and lately he has decided on the Army-the Quartermaster's department. GOOD NIGHT. 22

P , . N ER-'iVVhiskersl' hfiilwaulcee, Wisconsin Private, Company A , 'ro-'11, Private, Company EH, 'ug Marksman, 'ug VVestern Club, 'IO-'ug WVinner Guppie Semaphore Contest, 'r1. Gardner is a student. Not only is he a student of books, but also a student of low wiles. He is a fox with a big HF . VVhen the strident call of Guppie rolled through the classic halls of Manlius and disturbed the growth of Gardner's whiskers and his plan for working, what did he do? Answer the call? No, he did not. He was wise. He went to the Head Master and got put into educational confinement because running hurt his feet and disturbed his studious brain. VVise! Say! You can fool part of the public all the time, all the public part of the time, but you can't fool all the public all of the time.

Here is a man of many experiences and adventures. He is an explorer of some note, being so familiar with the intricate Wind- ings of the Campus that he can End his way Over it at any hour. Unfortunately he has been ill a great deal, requiring constant attention at the hospital. His greatest fault is his habit of neglect- ing social Obligations for his studies. i'Take him out quietly, please. 21

ELLISON, RICHARD THORTAS-t:DlCkli Merion Station, Pennsylvania Private Co. Cf, ,Og-iO9-,IO-iIIQ Officer, Order of the Phoenix, Pennsylvania Club, 'log Vice-President 'ug Verbeck Hall Walking Club, 'o8. The mills of the gods grind slowly and so doth Poor Richard. If a man makes a reputation as a grind he may loaf for a long time and get away with it. So it was with Dick, he had 'em all bluffed. His chief occupation in life was to be in people's way. Such people get stepped on. An ardent readery'-of the Saturday Evening Post. EVERETT, HERBERT FURMAN- Herb Millerton, Pennsylvania Corporal, Band, Gunner, Artillery, Order of the Phoenix, Sec- retary of the Pennsylvania Club, Band Base-ball Team. It is strange that the social pride of Millerton Centre could for so long escape' the honors that an eager vvorld was waiting to shower upon him. Perhaps his shrinking, .retiring nature has something to do with this. Perhaps his retiring nature caused him to keep his leadership in the Band-VVatty affair in the background. Like oil upon the troubled waters. 23
