His military life began when he enlisted at M. M I. in I908.' - Black isa man of powerful physique but he has one weak point, namely, the fair sex. Nelson is frequently seen in tour with the girls and his correspondence list is filled with them. Black is a member of Chi,Sigma Chi Fraternity and secretary of the Athletic Association. He was a mem- berrof the 191o.footbal1 squad, and would doubtless have been on the team this year, butowing to a heavy academic schedule he-had not the time to devote to it. Nelson expects to enter Dartmouth next fall and he leaves ns with our best wishesfor future success. ' ,nga A t WILLIAM ROSS CRANE. On February 27, 1-893, a small boy came to Middletown, Ohio.

William will go to Princeton next year and we hopethathis college days 'neath the Orange and Black will be pleasant from start to finish. p , . Q . WILLTAM HARNEY HOPKINS was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sep- tember 3o, 1893. He is sometimes known as Bill,'f Hop or 1-IGP- pie, but. there is nothing in a name, is there? Hoppie is Athletic Edif tor of the BAYONET, a sergeant in A Company, and above all a math. shark and a woman hater of the deepest die. He entered in 1910, and is a mem- ber of Delta' Sigma Nu Fraternity. From 'his entrance he started to kill everything in the academic line and has continued, doing it up to his graduation. F J .

We wish him succes in whatever he does, and we feel conident that Bill will make good- in any company. Q MALCOLM E. LANGDON is one of the old boys, having en- tered in 1906. He is from Cincin- nati, but we can forgive him for it. He is the only member of the classical course and will be the only one to graduate therein for some time to come.

He plays in the orchestra and band: is a member of the Dramatic Club, and is always to be found on the job where any- thing exciting is taking place.

After growing up, as all boys must, he became a member of the school in IQOQ and started right in with the excellent quality of work which has marked his career here. As a military man, he is very edi- cient, rising through the successive steps from a Corporal to a Captain in the brief space of one year. Ben has earned everything he ever got and deserves much commendation on this unparalelled record. He is a member of the Delta Sigma Nu Fraternity ' Next year will probably find Ben future.
