THE TARGET 35 Class History of 1908 LIELVIN W. ATWOOD broke into his family circle September 1, 1887. He hails from Beloit, Kansas, and arrived in N. M. A. on one of those Kansas zephyrs in 1903. Since then he has gained great repu- tation as a scholarship winner. He is one of the fat men of our class and hopes to grow thinner trying to get the lead of the Sophomores on squad. EMIL BERSBACH first shed glory on Ravenswood, Ill., Cctober 6, 1890. Although he is one of the youngest boys in the class, he is not the most deficient. He came to N. M. A. at Easter, 1903, and is espe- cially noted for never indulging in clamorous exclamations and for being an algebra student. NORMAN BLASS, our class merchant, hails from Little Rock, Arkansas. He was first heard of December 29, 1889. He arrived at N. M. A. this year and has devoted most of his time to the winning of orderlies. LA VERNE DODGE, the 210-lb. right guard, first Hdodgedn about his home in Broadhead, VVisconsin, December' 5, 1886. He is a slide trom- bone player, and is something of an athlete. CHARLES ESCH, the vice-president of the class, is from Chicago, Ill. He first delighted Hdaddyn August 19, 1886. He was the Hshortl' stop on the baseball team, and played on the indoor and football teams. He never gets on squad except once in every three weeks. JACK G. FLOYD winked first at Hpoppern July 18, 1889, at Omaha, on the plains of Nebraska. He now hails from Terre Haute, in the Hoosier state, and entered our class this year. He is especially noted for being an author, and, of course, never on squad. ABE FRANKLIN, the class editor, wore his first hopeful look April 28, 1889. This is his third year at N. M. A., and he still thinks Uno place like home? His strong points are running a free lunch counter, and never getting on squad. He says he came from Chicago, but A we think he came from Jerusalem, for his name is Abraham. FRANK H. GARDNER, distinguished as a Latin scholar, makes his home at Montrose, Pa., and uttered his first war whoop August 31, 1889. He came to us this year, and we find him quite a poet. He is a good C?D boy, and is trying for the deportment medal. We wish him success. ROY GRrNHrXM, otherwise known as Bill,,' gave his first crow and stuck his fist first into his mouth Cctober 8, 1888. He came to us this year and is. especially known as an athlete and never NZD getting on squad, like the bad boys do. He belongs to the T. M. D. Club and hails from the 4'Edelweise Townfl
