Z'- Team '17-'18, i iiiatnrg A personal interview with the Count elicited the information that he hails from New London, Con- necticut, and when asked what they do there, he re- plied Everybody . His ambition is VVest Point, but, although a ,line-appearing, deserving chap, he seems to be unable to get his appointment. In N. Y. M. A. he has shown considerable prowess as an ath- lete, and his work on the soccer Held has excited much admiration. A spoony boy with the femmes and a good fellow, we take leave of him sadly. lXlay his bars come easily and soon-. 58 Qlibnmas Zlaarnlh 1Bmnep CONNECTICUT iRvrnrh , Entered '17, Sigma P1 CNew Eng land Cluby Private Band Soccer

Tliiatnrg Here is the chap who puts half the pep into the band, for the boom of the trombone pumped so vigf orously by this worthy old Kaydet at times roars out. above the dulcet tones of all the other instruments. But it was not until Soccer was started at N. Y. M. A. that the Earl found his true vocation. Tn this game he was the team all by himself, and the other ten men simply followed him around and looked pic- turesque. ln fact, he displayed unexpected qualities of leadership, and did much to establish the sport as one of the regular games of the school. May he have equal success in whatever he undertakes. 57

And wasn't that a lucky event for every one concerned? Shrimp has played in the Band for so long they couldn't get along with- out him. Being a slave to the ladies is another of his accomplishments, and when he is all rigged out in dress uniform with plenty of chevrons and braid, we don't wonder that he seems to get along pretty well. He has been a loyal friend and one we are glad to have had. So long, Shrimp, and good luck to you. ' 59
