Here's to the seniors, now departing, And may their joys be many and long, When they swing the pick or carry the rod, While the boss sings to them this song. Tisn't best to try to be always it, Nor hold your nose three feet in air For often in life you'll get the mit, And lose sight of the golden Stair. We send you forth with some misgivings, Some joy and then perchance some woe, We ne'er shall forget the sticks you gave us, Nor the call downs sharper than any hoe. In remembrance of your deeds both wrong and right This volume we dedicate to you ,O7, Hoping and praying 'that if the earth is reversed You may stand some chance of Heaven. R. L. A.

That which inspires a man:- To perfect himself as a part of the machinery ofthe athletic team, not for his ovvn glory primarily, but to help win victories for Her. To practice scales and tone exercises for years if necessary in order at the last to make Her glee club stronger. To spend hours of little appreciated work that Her periodicals may be of real Worth. To speak piecesl' until his throat is sore, and pore over dusty vol- umes until his eyes ache, that only those may win places on her debating team who will surely triumph over Her enemies. To Work his best in classes that Her standard of scholarship be not allowed to fall. To take personal care that social conditions are clean, wholesome, attractive, and in all ways creditable to Her. To give up luxuries and personal benefits to promote her interests. To guard Her good name jealously, praising her virtues, mentioning Her short-comings only to Her loyal friends and in order to correct them. To be as loth to speak 'slightingly of Her as of his mother. To be willing to sacrifice, and to live first, last, always for the honor of Alma Mater. In short, to be in all things a Man.

CLASSIHSTORY p A strange story is this in some ways, and altho 'tis true that it affects the lives and tells of the deeds and thoughts of but an insigniiicant num- ber of individuals, when we consider the world at large, and although it has but the smallest place in the history of the world's work, how dear is it to those of us, in the Book of Life of whom are a few pages on which it appears forever imprinted, and how cherished by those of us who cast in our lots together for four years, and have passed from youth to the dawn of manhood together-that time in life when the thoughts teem with dreams of ambition-that period in which we are weaned from home iniiuences and home protection, far too thoroughly in some instances I fear. 'Twas near the close of September some four short years ago, that time oi all the year so glorious in Vermont, when the sharp nights turn the old hills we love so well into great rolling banks of orange-brown and golden splendor. There were iifty-seven of us, hopeful, confident college Men. What a mass of self-confidence and self assurance, What pride at being away from home-truly men of the world with never so high ambi- tions and anticipations of future greatness. For several months we had looked forward to that day, to the day we should fall into ranks and be soldiers, with stripes and buttons that would set the whole world mad with envy. Endless dreams we had had, of all the military pomp and parade that our poor minds could conceive. And on that fair September day we were sent down town, where We stood very erect 'on a little stool while our measures were taken and then nearly collapsed when told that those precious garments would probably be along in a couple of weeks or so. Next morning we fell in, not in uni- form but in civilian clothes, to begin about a week, not of parade but of chasing around the top of the hill under a corporal. We wished we never had come at allg but during spare time there were trunks to be elevated to third passage, transoms to be shinned and several such recreations pro- vided to keep us from getting homesick. The sophomores were an aggregation of no small experience in life and fully appreciated our worth and abilities, spending some time with us in friendly gatherings. We were soon made members in good stand- ing of several most ancient and honorable secret societies. I recall sev- eral instances when their regard for our comforts even led them to under- take trips of a Saturday in search of various small animals to make our beds more comfortable. , 22 And those first classes in college! NVhat an advance from the ac- customed methods of prep. school teaching! But this soon all wore off and it was not long before we were putting snow on the thermometer bulb in order to get dismissed without recitation. At last the gun was issued and the uniform came, and we were real fullfledged soldiers. An interesting thing it is to note the large number of friends that a freshman expects to see on the trains after his uniform arrives. And there were band concerts on those cool autumn evenings, and entertainments at which the young ladies of town were present. Now of course a fresh- man, just in uniform is not much for ladies, but there were some among our numbers who would walk overt' if they had the chance. And so the first year went, with its drills, its studies, dances, camp and commencement, and without its gauntlet. Summer came and went and fall brought us back broken in numbers, some to wear stripes and start the climb to the exalted rank of senior oflicers. I shall step very lightly as I pass those days of Calculus, Analyt. Mechanics and their second cousins. May they forever rest peacefully after the murder- ous attacks we made upon them. But thoughts of summer school are pleasant to all. NVe surveyed about everything in sight, and had time to throw apples and recount the adventures of Paul beside, and with all the hardships of rainy days of hike, the marches are another source of fond memories. When We started the last year we numbered 23, but as we approach the end we find but sixteen who are likely to survive the struggle and be with us after the last kick in june, It is interesting to note the general ad- vance and development of our members since that first retreat. Some have matured wonderfully, and have grown from the careless boy to the think- ing young man. Dignity and authority are born in different Ways, vary- ing with the personal opinions and ideas of the individual. If there was any appreciable amount of self-confidence in those first days, what words shall I use to tell you of the general spirit now ? It is not a little odd that when we have the least strength to combat the world, we have the highest confidence in our abilities. Very few individuals in the world possess that happy consciousness of their own prowess, which belongs to the newly graduated collegian. His mathematics, he has no doubt, will solve for him every complexity of life's questions, and his logic will as certainly untie all gordian knots, whether in politics or ethics. He has no idea of defeat: he proposes to take the world by storm. But we would not be true college men if the above did not apply to us, and are not high hopes and ambitions more worthy ofa young man than vague doubts of future success? So lct ns all join once more in the good old song of Aughtie seven . Mara sunisic, Meta distic. Caravan an du hawg Hey leelo Hey li luln, Hey lntsie sum yah. jonx H.

CHASE, Marshal COLORS!-PURPLE AND XVHITE JUNIOR HISTORY It is some three years now since 'o8 first entered within the classic portals of Old N. U. At that time we numbered fifty-three and the brightest, brainiest, and most brilliant set of men that had ever been gath- ered together here. All parts of the Union, from the rolling prairies of Oklahoma where the bad man sells poor booze to the painted redskin, to the windy sand dunes of Cape Cod where the buxom maid watches for the home coming of her stalwart hsher lad, were represented here. You would have known it had you seen us. Of course to this conglomeration most anything could be expected to happen. And things were happening all the time. Nero did his prairie dog stunts to perfection, Balt.,' Bill singing rag-time in that sweet soft soprano of his, was always around, and to see Bucko Ninis, Tommy Brown, Mad, McCarthy and Limpy Chase close together, one could not wonder at our brilliancy. The lack of ancient customs among the classes grieved us exceedingly and we started in to establish some. That was the class rush. It was a good one, but there we found the ancient Norwich custom of shagging.'i It was up to us and it was also no more rowdyisni for ours. W'e became good soldiers developing especially along the line of artistic squea1ers. That was our fad and while Pink took first prize, Crab and others were in the money and soon gems went into Old Griz's locker. Our Freshman dance is now an old story but it sure was a dandy and some very poor imitations have since been handed out but there is nothing to them. O It was in this year that the ,O7 banner disappeared and where it went the Sophs did not know. They thought the rats at No. 2 had eaten it and they might as well still think so. As Sophoniores some of us became Corporals because it is ordered thus in the Regulations. But the greedy juniors copped some, much to our sorrow. That we were a glittering success as non coins. was shown by the number of visits some of us paid to the ofiicc for consul- tation as to how the University should be run. Our treatment ofthe rocks was ideal, we being severe enough to expose their insignificance, but not so harsh as to be brutal. As usual, things came our way from academic prizes to denierits and always in showers. lJou't you know that Steve landed four of the gaudy ones and got so many demerils that his 3' stalwart form became bowed down from the weight. At this time our mania for debts became prominent. We owed everyone from the washer lady who cleaned the hall for our dance to the University treasurer for special exams, Class dues and assessments we loathed and despised, and duns were our glory. Trouble was the spice of life to us and our glee was unbounded, watching or hearing the rooks walking the midnight watches after painting the stack goaded to it by a wily Soph. Always the same, whether hiding Threeshils hat or being nailed for third privilege. Especial prominence was gained by the masterly manner in which we passed off Math and it is still a mystery to some how they did it. We entered our junior year with forebodings of evil, dread of disaster, for Dadl' had us at his mercy then and terrible were the tales we had heard. Also no longer would the gruff growls of Old Griz make our hair rise when the 0. D.'s hitting average stood high. We lamented be- cause we loved him but this military must be kept up and a new Com. came and our affections, so true and tried, were transfered. Pooh-Bah left too, for a sunnier clime and not for long did Nancy stand the strain, but did likewise. The treasury accumulations had to be spent so we got a class banner, paid cash because it came C. O. D. and have wanted the ,O7 class to see it ever since. We are still living in this indolent, progressive and rapid hope trusting that all things are for the best. Dodging the showers of General Orders, saving our pennies to buy the new uniforms prescribed and plugging forthe oiiicers exams, the time has passed swiftly. The gate of our Sen-ior year hangs close ahead. Are the shoulder straps waiting behind for us or is it again the bucks ride. Do we strut as real Seniors or does a star shine opposite our names in fthe catalogue. We don't know, but waking with I will try before our eyes and sleeping on, I wish I had, we hope for the best and try to believe that it doesnlt really matter. L. I. CLARKSON. 32 JUNIOR CLASS K C. F.

Rowe, Secretary F. S. CLARK, Treasurer COLORS!-PEARL GREY AND CRIMSON SOPHOMORE HISTORY THE BooK OFMEN CHAPTER XXIII 1. Now it came to pass in the year IQO5 that a new tribe came to dwell in the kingdom of Norwich. 2. And they named their name Naughty Nine. 3. There was great rejoicing throughout the land for it was the largest tribe that had entered the kingdom for some years and it had assembled from various parts. 4. Andover the kingdom ruled Prexy the great king, a man with honor, although he could have sold it to the Railroad Trusts for a goodly sum. Q 5. The king sat high on his seat, in cavalry boots, and on his right hand sat his premier, the Conn faithful to the laws, which was a wonder in those days. 6. And the Naughty-Niners, content, waxed fat and s-.velled in head and were well joshed and named rooks by the tribe of Naughty- Eight. - 7. And they were a nine days wonder among the tribes and did strange and kittenish things. 8. But lo, the Com. waxed hot in his wrath forthe honored tribe dared to daub numerals in white upon the darker smoke-stack in the still night. ' 9. Thus spake the Com. and out of his lips came wisdom, 'KNOW I say unto you, he that sticketh to the evil do-er and discloseth him not, he, even he himself shall be stuckf, Io. And it was so. Stuck-ko was the word. 11. Yea his wrath cooleth not and he kicked over the traces, he chewed nails of wire and 4X4 timber that one Doc. Winch left lying around. 12. And anger begat punishment, and punishment begat soreness, and soreness begat dislike. 13. Even now I say the Com. was in disfavor, and many carried their thumbs reversed and were about to strike their tents and seek a far- off land. 36 14. But they then, so doing saw themselves akin to Bill Vlfaldy Astor and they were sot in their desire to remain for they despised to be like him. 15. And so they shagged in the evening, night, and yea, even in the wee small hours for they loved the law. 16. The Com. was all powerful and at the close of the tirst year that the new tribe was under his thumb he caused all the tribes to hit the pike. 17. They skedaddled, yea sneaked, and sojourned for many days in strange lands even to the tribe of naughty-six, grave and dignified. 18. And they did many strange things and enjoyed themselves. 19. And the rain was upon the earth seven days out of ten and many cussed right merrily. 2o. And then the sojourners returned to their own lands on the tenth day. 21. Then it was learned that a mighty king o'er all the earth for Wanting to bej one Roosevelt, had pointed his index at the Com. and shrieked, i'You to the Philipinesf' 22. Yea, even then the Com. was squelched and tarried not for Roosey was stronger than the Com. even as steel is stronger than tin in making gods. 23. Among the tribes there was weeping and gnaslfing of teeth, sometimes more of one, sometimes more of the other. 24. And then the tribes knew what they had lost, and I say unto you that ye know not when you are well off until that which maketh you well off is kicked from under you. 25. And the naughty-niners still sojournecl in the land. 26. They had done divers things and people are still doing them. 27. And the Com. dwelled in the kingdom of Norwich an hundred and one score months and he beat it and skidooed. CHAPTER XX IV 1. And Prexy reigned in glory yet another year although the light ofthe kingdom had been hit with a brick and driven afar off to lands of naked men and women. 1 2. And a new Coin. came to sojourn in tl1e land. 3. He was sent bythe great god Roosey and was not so great in title but yea even four score times as great in power and love of the laws. 4. Verily, verily he was a valiant man for he dared attend whist parties which was violent pastime in those days. 5. And the tribe of naughty-niners discarded their former title Rooks and named their name Sophomores and all saw that it was good. 6. And wisdom permeated their ko-kos even as the hobo eateth pie, in chunks. 7. And the tribe of naughty-niners was lessened in the second year for some fell by the wayside fearing Militaris1n and liked not the lay 37 of the land, the color of the bricks nor the looks of some corn-cob de- odorizers. Poor weaklings I 8. Now in these days the tribe saw many things finished which they had begun in the hrst year of their sojourn. 9. And they rejoiced and were exceeding glad of these things. ro. Some gained favor in the CO1'11,S eyes and got passes to 'pelier and butted into society there. II. Yea this they did even as Leon, begat of Roach, did in North- held with an ice pick and a stone hammer for tried to do.D 12. And some waxed strong in love, even to sugar parties and sleigh rides. 13. In truth I say those ones Grant begat of Haight, and Theodore and G. W. surnamed Clark crossed even the line of amateurs and they named their name Toozers. 14. And it came to pass at this time that the Corn. sat down on the tribe even as a man who steppeth on the banana peel gaineth the sidewalk with a thud. 15. Yea this was so for they horsed the new tribe that came among them and it made the Com. wrathy, yea even to excess. 16. And the Com made a law that the gentle fawns should not be terrorized or else someone would gain the fatal number 23 as a prize. 17. Even as I say, ig was, and Prexy heard the law and the law was good in his sight. 18. And dignity, A a strange cloak was urged on the Sophomores. 19. But now I say unto you this is my commandment to you, Dignity is like unto a high collar, it maketh a man to stretch his neck till his head is even above that of his fellows. Yea verily. 20. And Cuje the scribe, the Lord Scratchitory of the Realm writ in his book of ,deeds that the Com. had taken an artillery cheese knife and cut hazing out of the land and was entitled to an N. 21. And the tribe snickered. 22. The yelps of the new tribe were heard no more for one had squealed. A 23. And he was shunned even among his fellows. 24. So I say Friday and Saturday nights were dull in the land and many took to manipulating the pasteboards and delving into such works as Dare Devil Dan's Dirty Deeds or Beautiful Beatrice's Bouncing Beauxf' for they loved not Ana Lytical. 25. And a mighty roar went up for there was a dearth of literature in the land. t 26. And some of the tribe of Sophomores begat honor and some dishonor. 27. Yea even unto nine were chevrons tacked on and five were sur- named Clark and no extra bar was given as a tally mark so the mighty Q. D. was always mixed with them. 38 28. And now I say some one was wise and made suggestions that Liz, VVally, Ted, etc. be appended neath the blood red stripes. 29. The tribe now new the Profs, they the mighty XVisdom Venders of Prexy's Court and feared them for they carried flunks the im- plements of war in their hip pockets. 30. Yea even as the wind scattereth seeds so was knowledge even so in bunches. 31. And Presper surnamed Andrews gaineth fame as assistant manager in baseball and even as a lord in literature. 32. Yea the Reveille staff pounced on him and he succumbed and wrote of love of which there was a dearth in the land for no man loved his neighbor. 33. And Wally son of Clark was famed as the ranking Corporal and assistant manager football. 34. And Ames begat honor in basket-ball and also Carpenter and Barney. 35. And Damon was a footballist and Boyce and Smith and Andrews vied as orderlies in the Com's favor. 36. So say I it was with Leonard and Thomas and Haight. 37. And now I say unto you fame perched on the crowns of many and glory still remained with them yea and so it shall even to the end of time. 38. Yea verily, verily, he who seeketh honor will rind it perching on his crown or mayhap lower down-in his neck. R. L. A. ,O9. 39 SOPHOMORE CLASS 40 SOPI-IOMORE CLASS ROLL A. Adams E. Ames, jr., GX . G.

Everywhere were rumors of the sad fate which we were destined to receive at the hands of the Sophomores, and for some time we went about with a properly hum- ble and apologetic demeanor, which, however, wore off when we found that the boasts of our would-be tormentors were hardly born out by facts. They seemed completely cowed, either by the orders from the authorities or from fear of violence at our hands. Of course we are inclined to be- lieve that it was the latter. To be sure we have not entirely escaped such ordeals as polishing off the common in front of the Old Barracks or brush- ing off uniforms before formations, but every task was imposed in so apol- ogetic a manner, that instead of resenting it we could not but feel some- what sorry for them. Nevertheless it is sad to think of their fate had our numbers reached expectations, but as it happened we barely numbered Hfty and since then one of our numbers has gone to West Point, one to Annapolis, and others to places unknown. We were so well represented on the varsity football team that we ex' pected to humble the class of 1909, but at the last moment it occurred to us that it would be a shame to be less considerate of them than 1908 had been and consequently we allowed the game to be a tie. No basket ball game was played but the baseball game is already as much ours as if it had been played. Although our representation on the varsity in all three branches of athletics have been very creditable and something to be proud of, as yet our ambition to make a name for ourselves in athletics as a class has had little outlet, but we are soon to make our debut in the social line and greatly will the upper classmen marvel thereat. At one time when formations for recitations were held in the 01d Bar- racks and a group of possibly half a dozen freshmen were at one end of the passage, the rancorous voice of one of the score or so of Sophs. at the other end was heard to say, Lets rush 'em, but when enough freshmen appeared from the adjoining rooms to even things up the bold Sophs. tried hard to look unconcerned and as though a rush was the last thing they would think of. Probably it was. 43 At one of our early class meetings soon after our organization, some zealous advocate of parliamentary law suggested that we have a constitu- tion. Immediately a committee was appointed and in due time presented the result of their labors for adoption. 'There have been many meetings since for that purpose and we hope to have adopted it all for use in our senior year. The sophs still have their banner but it would be well for them to keep a sharp Watch for we still have an eye on it, and if indeed it is true that all things come to him who waits and nothing is impossible where there is determination 'l we will yet have our hands as vvell as our eyes thereon. H Thus ends the Hrst installment of our history. Soon We will be sophomores ourselves and must shoulder the responsibility of making the roolcs walk in the straight and narrow path, for it is unreasonable to ex- pect that the next class will be unable to do so Well as we without more assistance than has fallen to our lot.

The greatest of ancient people, the Greeks, and Romans, were noted as much for their athletics as for their beautiful architecture, or wonderful statesmanship. In our age, although conditions have greatly changed, we still find man engaged in athletics. The young man, and the college man in particular, is the one to whom we look for the greatest physical development and the most enthusiasm in the various sports, Wherever in this broad land of ours you find an institution of learning, there you will iind athletics developed to a greater or less degree of perfection, and Norwich, our Alma Mater so dear to the hearts of all her sons, is no exception to the rule. We do love athletics here at Norwich, and the teams we turn out make a very creditable showing against the teams of other institutions. But athletics here at old N. U. as they exist today, and as they have ex- isted for many years, are not what they should be, nor what the alumni and undergraduates wish them to be. ' , Of course we all understand that athletics are handicapped in an in- stitution where military is one of the principal features 3 notably in the shortness of the time we have to devote to practice. But on the other hand the advantages of a military training are far greater than the disad- vantages. The drills in which we daily participate keep the men in good physical condition, so that when the training season commences, the men who go out for the various teams, have a good foundation upon which to build. Military training teaches men to think and to act quickly, to command and obey, and above all things it teaches one to work in uni- son with others, doing his individual share toward the accomplishment of a desired end. These are all invaluable qualities to the athlete, and the team composed of individuals to Whom these qualities have become a habit, is bound to win out over a team without them 5 other conditions being good. So then we see at once that although Norwich is small in numbers, there are many advantages that it has over civilian schools and colleges, whose enrollment is larger. Looking from this point of view, the questions that naturally present themselves to us are: Why are athletics in Norwich not in a better con- dition and how can they be improved? In the first place there is something radically wrong in the general management of athletics. It is not systematic, and there is no fixed rule laid down for the undergraduate managers to abide by. When a manager is elected, he goes ahead and arranges games with whomsoever he sees fit. He fixes his own guarantee and although the schedule is shown to the athletic director before the open- ing ofthe season, it is the manager of the team who is alone responsible for everything. When the season opens there is often a deficiency in the 68 treasury left over from the preceding year, and there is seldom if ever any money on hand with which to begin the season. It then becomes the man- ager's duty to raise the money with which to carry out his schedule. This money is raised for the most part by voluntary subscriptions from the Corps. Some comes from the alumni, although the number of alumni subscriptions has not always been as great as might have been expected. The gate receipts are very small. And so it is that the support of the va- rious teams falls for the most part upon the undergraduates, and the sub- scriptions being voluntary this support does not fall on all alike, but upon afew who bear the expense of all. Not only this but the manager can collect the subscriptions only when the men have money to pay them, and it sometimes happens that two or three days before a game is to be played there is no money to meet the expenses, so it is up to the manager to either stand back ofthe team himself or cancel the game. In order to turn out good teams there must be good coaching, and al- though there has been a great improvement along this line during the last few years, there is still room for greater. The coaches that we have had for the last few years, have for the most part been good men, and have doneuswNoHdsofgood,ascanbereadnyseenbythesupedornyofourpns- ent teams, over the teams turned out when we had no coaching. If then what coaching we have had has been of so much value to us, how much greater would be the value to us, of a permanent coach for the teams. A man who knew the existing conditions, and who could teach a style of playing which would be the same from season to season. Suitable training is a course which all athletes must undergo, if they ever expect to reach perfection, and it is something that the men who go out for the teams at Norwich get very little of. Last year the training table was introduced for the nrst time, I believe, and although the diet was not as limited as it might have been, nor the training rules as strict, yet it did much toward developing one of the best football teams thatliorudch everturned out If athletics are to improve, and come up to the standard set by our academic and military departments, our Norwich spirit must change im- mensely. Wherever you find good spirit .there you find good athletics, for it is spirit more than anything else that gives character to a team. The spirit at N. U. is not right. If we have awinning team it is Hip Hurrah HwecanWbebemenH whHeifatemmislomng,no maUm'agmnm what odds, everyone gets down in the mouth, and instead of cheering the team for doing its best, they are inclined to criticism and fault finding. 'Where is that spirit of which Norwich men so proudly boast, that spirit that in the past inspired men to dare and do, in the face of overwhelming odds, and which was summed up in those never dying words I will try. If We have this kind of spirit yet, and I believe that we have, let us show it now, and when our teams go out to face the teams of other institutions let us be with them heart and soul, whether they win or whether they lose. 69 Let us consider a few of the principal things that need attention, and which would place athletics upon a firmer foundation. In the first place we can do very little without the proper financial conditions in order that we may get the best results. If we had a graduate manager, a man who would oversee the arrangement of all schedules, and in a measure keep the undergraduate manager in the right path it would be a great advan- tage, and would give the manager a chance to get advice from one who had had experience. The graduate manager could also take charge ofall moneys received by subscriptions and from other sources, and in this way the best results would be obtained for the least expenditure, a lot of disagreeable work would be taken from the shoulders of the manager, and then all the alumni and under-graduates would feel that things were being carried on in a more systematic manner. Twice in the last two years a petition signed by nearly every man in the Corps, has been sent to the directors of the University, requesting that an athletic fee of ten dollars be added to the term bills. As yet the di- rectors have done nothing as regards the petition, though they must know that it is what nearly every other college in the country has done to equal- ize the burden of expense and assure the success of athletics. This meas- ure must pass at N. U. if we are to compete with other institutions. There are many other changes that might be of inestiniable value to us, but we realize that these changes and improvements are many, and that they must of necessity be gradual. It will require time and much hard work, to pull athletics up to the other standards of Norwich, but nothing succeeds like success and if we can turn out a winning series of teams, the rest will come easily. So let us all get together, directors, alumni and undergraduates and do everything in our power to turn out strong teams for old N. U. this coming year. D. U.

The cut of the uniform conforms to that prescribed for the mounted soldier in the regular army, not that it is in- tended ,that every cadet shall become a horseinan, but that that portion of hisiuniform which comes in contact with the chair may be of double thick- ness. In other words, the breeches are reinforced. This change was the result of a desire to serve two ends. As part and parcel of the National Guard, the Cadet Corps would have to be outfitted in regulation uniform before january 1, 1908. The new uniform accomplishes this result. The military training at the University has for one of its objects the prepara- tion of the cadets for military service should an emergency arise demand- ing that such service be rendered. The blue uniform gave false ideas con- cerning battle formations, and was generally unfit for such exercises. One extended order drill or manouver, in which the cadets were required to lie down in dust, mud, or whatever the ground offered, was sufficient to put the blue uniform out of commission. Chalk dust in the class room seemed to find a great attraction in the blue uniform, and the efforts nec- essary to restore the suit to a presentable appearance soon wore out the garment. Olive drab is nearly invisible at a distance, is readily cleaned from dust, mud, or chalk, and so seems to fulfill the other requirement. While during the spring term the olive drab was made optional in the corps when off duty, with the opening of the fall term, it will be required of all cadets. The dress uniform remains unchanged. One addition was made during the year to the number of organiza- tions in the cadet corps, a platoon of artillery being organized as a sepa- rate body, officered and handled as a complete unit in itself. This organ- ization was drilled as both artillery and signal corps, and was composed of those cadets who had had two or more years of infantry drill, and had passed through the experiences of squads right until they were presum- ably prohcient in that science. W'ith the addition of the new material promised by the XVar Department for the coming year, this drill should become more interesting and afford greater instruction. As Battery A, Vermont Field Artillery, the cadet corps will be supplied with the latest held artillery material, four new three inch guns of the latest and best pat- tern and with the fourteen other carriages pertaining to a held battery. This will afford another reason for the maintenance of a mounted detach- ment in the University for, with the horses, the artillery drill will take on 7' -'l an air of reality not possible in the ordinary dismounted standing gun drill, and still also permit the artillery organization to participate in the hikes as real artillery. New equipment has also been promised for the Signal corps work, including field telegraph and telephones of the latest pattern with facilities for- stringing on short notice about fifty miles of wire. Training in this work will be given to the cadets of the upper classes not attached to the infantry companies. It is hoped that all this new apparatus will be available by the opening of the University in the fall. There have been two inspections during the year by officers of the United States Army, and one by Adjutant General W. H. Gilmore of the Vermont National Guard. Among the comments made by these officers as a result of the inspections, 11one have expressed more satisfaction than those elicited by the new barracks- Alumni Hall. Every visitor has been impressed with the advantages of this building. Every cadet has been benefited by the generosity of Norwich University Alumni in afford- ing them such a home during their university life. The military depart- ment has particularly been assisted in its work by having the cadet corps so well and comfortably quartered. There is truth in the saying that a comfortable soldier is a good one. With the completion of the basement so as to include a good trunk room, with the installation of a bowling al- ley in the basement, and the fitting up of an assembly room where the ca- dets might, during the few hours not devoted to study or to military du- ties, sit in comfortable chairs, enjoy the weed that cheers and let their troubles end in smoke, the barracks wo11ld be all that could be desired and would make life at Norwich University, during recreation hours at least, a most enjoyable affair. But it maybe that this is too much ofa Hpipe dream to be immediately realized. With the opening of the fall term of the year 1907-1908, it is hoped that the cadet corps will contain a detachment of saddle pounders. Pros- pects for this are growing brighter. Through the kindness and generos- ity of several of the alumni, and other friends of the University, a fund for the purchase of mounts is growing. Enough money has already been contributed to mount the Held and staff for next year and to furnish mounted instructions to a number of the cadets. It is the intention to procure good serviceable horses, Morgan strain preferred, and to give as thorough a course in equitation and cavalry drill as the time will permit. The value of Such training cannot be overestimated. There is no form of exercise more healthful or which gives as much pleasure to the participant. The knowledge of how to ride often proves most useful to a man, no mat- ter what his professiong to an engineer engaged in field work in the west, it is of particular value. As a means of attracting new men to the Uni- versity, it is believed that the mounted instruction and the exhibition 76 drill which may be given will prove that necessary outlay for securing the mount will be money well invested. While the number of horses which can be procured at first will be limited, still it is hoped that contributions for this purpose will continue until at least twenty-ive can be secured and that a good platoon of cavalry can be organized. During the past few years the regular cavalry of the United States has been utilized for the purpose of giving exhibition drills at state and county fairs. This use of the regular troops has now been discontinued, although the demand for this form of entertainment has been rapidly increasing. Now that Uncle Sam's horse soldiers can no longer be secured for this purpose, it is be- lieved that a mounted detachment in Norwich University could satisfy a demand for this form of attraction at the various fairs held in the State of Vermont, thus advertising the University as well as filling a constantly growing want. Wherever mounted instruction has been given in the mil- itary schoools or colleges, it has been found to be a great attraction in drawing to the institution a desirable class of students, and has proven to be one of the most valuable forms of military instruction and training. At all such institutions, an additional charge is made of the cadet for this form of training and drill, and so the mount has been made self support- ing. A similar charge will be made at Norwich University, and the mount will consequently not prove a burden to the iinancial department of the institution. Among the new developments in the military department is the insti- tution of a system of competitive examinations in military subjects to de- termine promotions. The appointments and promotions for the coming year will be made as the result of the first of these examinations held in June. This is simply a development of the old system, made necessary owing to the increased attendance and the consequentincrease in the num- ber of available men. The examination is both theoretical and practical and is designed to ascertain the candidate's interest and ability along mil- itary lines. In order that a few fly specks shall not gain all the pro- motions, consideration is also given to deportment, to military standing, to the recommendations of superior ofiicers, and to the estimate of the Commandant on the candidate's probable eliiciency as an oliicer or non- commissioned oliicer. Each has its relative value, fixed in advance, and the average of all the points considered will determine the promotion and the rank in the various grades. An attempt has been made during the past year to develope the spirit and practice of self government in the cadet corps by the installation ofa system of cadet courts martial, based upon that existing in the army. All offenses against discipline and all delinquencies are tried before these courts composed wholly of cadet officers. The accused cadet is given an opportunity for defense and is entitled to bring before the tribunal all evi- X I dence relating to his case. The findings and reconiniendations of the court are then laid before the Connnandant, the President, or the Faculty, according to the gravity of the offense, before being carried into execu- tion. This system has been given a thorough trial during the year and has resulted satisfactorily to the authorities. Its effect upon the corps is believed to be beneficial as tending to develope right ideas and traditions among the men themselves, instead of holding them up to the ideas of those who cannot enter fully into their feelings and every day experiences.

The day was ideal for the purpose-rather too much so if anything-and spirits were high as the force swung out through the village and out on the road to West Berlin, the site of the first camp ground. Eager anticipation char- acterized the expression of the 'rookies, while the veterans ofa previous campaign took the occasion more calmly, perhaps, but with no less inter- est. The day passed without incidents of an exciting character until a re- connoitering party of the enemy was sighted a short time before reaching camp. The fact that they used a runabout and retreated in good order, comparatively, prevented any possibility of a successful pursuit, and re- luctantly the van was checked. Camp was made about supper time, and pen cannot describe the awful carnage that ensued when Arthur permit- ted mess call to be blown. That evening's caniphre need but to be men- tioned 3 Chesty's promotion to drum major was only one of several inter- esting features. Rest, unbroken save by the lonley hail, prepared the men by morning for any kind of fray. Camp was broken about 8:30, and the march to Middlesex comf menced. The command had not been on the road a half hour before a new enemy appeared, and this one, the advance guard of the forces of Gen- eral Cussedness, refused to be driven from the neighborhood. First a spoke split on the mess wagon 3 then a tug broke. Mere skirmishes to be sure, but they showed unmistakably the old general's intentions. Middlesex came and went, but no camp ground. The roads were sandy and the sun was hot 3 egg sandwiches from the mess kits and coffee from the canteens had been sent to build up muscles long ago, and still no camp ground 5 until nnally in a pleasant pasture on the left of the road, the Com ap- peared and the day was saved. A look over the fence gave the bearings 3 there was the Waterbury fair ground, green among the memories of the year before. Camp being made and supper put to work, the sandy roads faded into insignincance. All seemed peace and pleasantness. The ene- my had apparently withdrawn. A night attack, however, with nature's own remedy-rain,-made the fact that the camp was prepared for the on- slaught exceedingly agreeable. The engagement lasted until far enough into the day to make a move unwise, so that day was lost. Thursday came and the army moved, clown the Winooski past the falls, and in an increasingly beautiful scenery, always through a country where everybody works but Father. Bolton came and vanished and finally Ionesville, a very important strategic point, was reached. Here we went into camp beside a beautiful troutfor rather sucker-stream, and all seemed favorable for a happy outcome. A march the next day would bring us to Williston, whence, a short, brilliant dash would make So Fort Ethan Allen ours. If this could be attained the campaign would be a perfect success in every way, and the Generalls harassing would have been in vain. Thursday night was fair and all was well, but the cold grey dawn of the morning after was sufficient warning and soon the trouble com- menced. A dry camp saved from rout, but the time for a strike at the fort had passed and now there was nothing to do but return. A clearing afternoon was the signal to obtain leaves to go to Richmond to attend a Hag raising, and one ofthe big wagons was requisitioned, beating the proverbial rush hour car at its own game. But it is generally believed that the old fellow had put up the attraction as a decoy, for he ambushed the party on its return. A violent thunder storm perfected the blackness of a naturally dark road, and at a critical point the off fore wheel went into a ditch and the enemy overturned the entire outfit. The mixture of men, barbed wire, pies, cakes, fruit, Watches and clothing must have brought a nendishly triumphant smile to the grim old General, but in spite of him the party, most to a man, escaped, carrying off one wounded and leaving on the field the dead and mangled victuals. And then they rode-no, marched-back. Time forbids to follow the events of that retreat. Like those of Kuropatkin, it was Hmasterly and in perfect order. Rain at Waterbtiry, bitter frost at Montpelier, but unlimited fun and defiance to the enemy. W'e trust he got such a lesson from the rapid fire guns of cadet good nature that he will think twice be- fore attempting another victory at such cost. SI FORMER COMMANDANT, MAJ. H. W.

J' RL A. '09, l ll A U SUMMER SCHOOL NOTES The' class of 1907 assembled four weeks before the opening of the fall term, with an attendance of a little less than twenty-three. The problem before the class consisted of an extension of the Vt. Black Slate R. R. from a point near the quarry at South Northfieldg south across the main high- way to a point on the East Hill, then north again by a switch-back so as to include the quarries higher up on the hill. The hours were from eight until five. 'When the instructor was near, one half hour was de- voted to lunch 5 in all other cases two hours. During lunch time many innocent diversions were indulged in. The favorite one was a free for all fight in which apple pie and doughnuts were the principal weapons. A reconnaissance survey was first made by means of compass and lock level. Certain climatic conditions difficult to explaing such as showers of apples, sod, stones, and other harmless objects made this work especially difficult. No pain was spared, however, to secure results, and at length the class took up the preliminary survey. After crossing the highway, two separate lines were surveyed. Com- petition on these two lines was close. The majority of the class favored line B as the numerous shade trees gave better opportunities for rest. The grade, too, was easier and this line was adopted. Here it was that one of the section gang set down in a hornetls nest with painful results. Here, also, another employer got caught on the third rail and fainted from fright. A pail of cold water, however, soon brought him to a state of semi- consciousness. The preliminary finished, the location survey was made and the road and surrounding country mapped. Conditions over which the class had no control caused some minor in- accuracies in the work. Due to internal disturbances the ground refused to stay at the same level on two successive days. One man conceived and executed the bright idea of so arranging things that the road was four paces in the air through the entire length. On the last day the whole class went over the line ripping up stakes and some other things. One of the class came back with the most ample part of his trousers fastened together by a green tie in a neat four in hand. The work closed with the driving of the golden spike in the Edgerton Quarry on one memorable evening. The shout that went up as thespike penetrated the tie, sending the sap foaming and iiying in all directions, could have been heard for miles. An election of oflicers followed. The chairman presided with great tact and infinitely greater fun and the words of his speech were distinctly audible at the Barracks nearly half a mile away. Having floated considerable stock the corporation adjourned sine die. 'Who of its members, however, can forget the Swedish Opera pro- duced by the wierd light of a wood fire: the man who scorned all things S4 earthly and tried persistently to climb upward to a higher lifeg the jubi- lous journey homeg and last but not least that touching little melody, 'fWill you love me in December as you did in May? H. C. P. While the Seniors were busy with their railroad, the juniors were by no means idle. Although only eighteen of this noble class assembled to take up the work, the interest manifested by these few, more than made up for the small number. The work for this class, unlike that of the Seniors, was ofa varied character, consisting of topographical and geodetic surveying and road mapping. After spending one day adjusting the instruments assigned the class for its use, the work of making a topographical map ofthe north- western section of the town was begun. This tract of land was first di- vided into a number of polygons which were required to balance with an allowable error of 1 in 5000. So diligent and careful were some of the parties that one polygon checked with an error of 1 in 20,300, while the others ranged anywhere between this and the allowable error. As soon as a few of the polygons were run, leveling parties were sent out to deter- mine the elevation of each station. This work progressed quite rapidly except perhaps when the line led through one of the village streets where more interesting things than a leveling rod could be seen. As the work went along bench marks were established at all the hydrants in order to check the work of the different parties. Each day four or five men were detailed to worl: in the office where the mapping kept pace with the held work. After completing the leveling the contouring was begun with stadia and plane-table. Some difficulties were experienced in locating the Dog River for its banks were so dense with shrubbery as to completely conceal the river from view. But no such obstacle could long hinder so industrious a class as this. While the instrument man stood with his in- strument in the middle of the stream, the chairman removed his clothing and with the chain between his teeth swam to the various points which it was desired to locate. Thus the line of the river was run northward un- til suddenly the chainman found himself dangerously near the Wall Street bridge and refused to go further. H Having completed this work it was decided that the class should do a little topographical work. A base line over a half mile long was carefully measured off on the fair grounds and from this a system of triangulation stations set. This system embraced most of the valley. But the last and perhaps the most pleasant part of the S11H1111C1'i5 work, was the mapping of all the roads which lead into Northfield. The class was broken up into a number of parties and sent out in every direction. In this work rapid progress was made. When night fell, two of the parties found themselves so far from home they decided to remain all night if pos- sible. One curled up in a hay barn while the other was entertained by a good old Irishman and his jug of cider. Another party went towards 35 Roxbury, but were soon overtaken by noon. While eating their dinner some one suggested that by fast work the party would be able to reach Roxbury in time to catch a freight due to leave there about 5 p. 111. for Northield. So the noon hour was cut in two and the party set out 011 its Way. .As it was nearly 5 P. M. when the party reached Roxbury a long sight was taken in order that a bench mark might be established in the village. The instrument man i11 order to 111ake his signals visible at such a distance used his handkerchief. But some of the bright young ladies of the village thinking the signals 111eant for them unconsciously stood in tl1e line of sight and waved back. Before the sight could be taken andthe bench mark established the trai11 pulled out leavi11g a disappointed party to t'l1ike seven miles with all instrument. R. N. The old adage work while you work and play while you playu was reconstructed by the sophomore summer school class to read, Play while you work and work when the boss is looking. Thirty-two members of this class assembled for work and with this force added to the juniors and seniors this made the largest summer school N. U. has seen. The work of the sophs consisted of measuring their pace and strange to say some de- veloped remarkable strides which were used to good advantage in getti11g a good distance away on the hills to sleep. Running polygons and level- i11g followed and it has been found that no polygon can be run in this vi- cinity without including some o11e of the various boarding houses and in fact it would be disastrous to the stomach to try to do otherwise. Apple hghts were the gentle diversion to which some time was given, and sorry to say every man was given his base from being hit with the ball as we would say in baseball. One party in leveling on the East hills and in the ravine for the purpose of establishing a new rifle range, became lost. Although the transit was trained in that direction it was useless as a dis- coverer for the party Cafter a hearty meal taken with thenij either became over balanced and sank to the ground or lost consciousness from heat. At any rate the sleep was refreshing. Running lines from the fair grounds, north, east and northeast was very strenuous and dirty, warm work, and so it is not to be wondered at that the River Dog rose, for whole parties plunged in and when they emerged the water lowered a11d the marks also for Prof. Stocker was watching from a nearby hill. Some of the parties had difficulty in keep- ing together for apples and pears are very alluring. As a whole, however, the summer school was a success in obtaining a good coat of tan, enjoy- ing all the fruits of that time of year and gaining good exercise in the open air. Of course, mingled with this, some knowledge was gained and in such a pleasant manner that it has been well remembered. The work brought the members of the class closer together, and more true friend- ships were formed, and each knew his classmates more intimately, and in truth it will never be forgotten. R. L.

There had been but one annual issued before Cin '95j and there seemed to be either a lack of energy or need of talent to continue the good work, until Hartwell and Smallman broke loose and reopened up the way. To them are due a vast amount of credit not only from us as their successors but from the University and everybody connected with it. This year our annual is presented by the Junior class. It is not the work of any two or three men. It is the efforts of the whole class and a few strong men from the others, that enables us to put out as good a book as We have here. Wheelock at the business end has done all in his power to make this a success financiallyg Fraser has labored over the pictures and illustrations until the patience of an ordinary man would have been worn away, and Clarkson has ground out the witty part of this book, and remembered us all with some interesting stingers. The rest of the staff also deserve credit for their unpaid-for work. ' Next year the class of 'og should be able to put out a ine book. The hidden talent in illustrative ability which has been revealed this year is certainly promising of some expert work, and withhthe flow of language which some members ofthe sophomore class possess there is no reason why they cannot get up a book which is equal to or better than this one. We believe that with the products of last year and this, and a con- tinued interest on the part ofthe student body, it will not be long until Norwich will have an annual that is equal to the best to be found any- where. The military atmosphere if preserved, more or less, even in the annual, will give it a peculiar prestige, more acceptable to the general public as they know Norwich, and make it far dearer to us than if we stuck too close to the outline of other annuals. We have but made a be- ginning in our possibilities. The future classes will have a little advan- tage but we expect more of them. 115 FHM '-A Li wiv .

I know you'll be sorry for dat poor fellow, I know youtll be sorry for Paul Dushauf' The following is a clipping lately received here. SAD ACCIDENT ON THE N. Y., N. H. AND H. R. R. CSpecial to the N. Y. Scandinavain and Choinalj. Another name has been added to the list of deaths due to railroad ac- cidents. While employed on an erection gang near New London, Conn., Paul Dushau was struck by Cooper's E-50 Loading Q2-1775 Ton Locomo. tive followed by a uniform train load of 5000 lbs. per linear foot of trackj. The head was nearly severed from the body, and death followed in about ten days. The deceased was a native of El Paso Texas and was an honor- ary member ofthe Class of 1907 of Norwich University, Northfield, Vt. Mr. Dushau was born in El Paso Texas on May 23, but the exact year was never known. He would never tell his age, but it is thought that this wonderful man came to the light of day about the year 1870. At the age of eighteen he was conceded by all to be the most expert cow-puncher in all Texas, and until he had seen nineteen summers he remained in his native state, when an old burning desire for travel overcame him, and he went into Mexico and saved no small amount of money by hydraulic minin . Aster a couple of years of this, Paul took shipping 'at Manzanillo in a boat bound for the west coast of South America, and when some five days out, a fearful storm came up and the masts were blown away. It was a desperate state of affairs, but Paul, by his wonderful courage, and ability, was master of the situation and they at last safely landed at Chiclayo, Peru. For two years he wandered too and fro on the continent, when he took ship and went to japan, Siam, java, India and Madagascar, Finally being wrecked upon the east coast of Africa, where many wonderful adventures were experienced. . One day in Central Africa, Paul and a fellow wanderer were surprised and pursued by three tigers, and it looked indeed as tho all would soon be over. for in the flight a mountain torrent lay in their path, but presence of mind and years of experience on the plains of Texas saved the day, for Paul threw a line across and the companion went over, pulling him behind. This is but one of the 'many hair-breadth escapes of the African adventures the telling of more of Which, limited space forbids. Dushan first came to be known by the Class of 1907 N. U., in the Texican war when he was in charge of the signaling for the army. I-Ie has ever been dear to the boys of '07 and the wonderful adventures of his life have for four years been the most popular subject of conversation at class gatherings, and during the idle hours of rainy days of summer school and occasionally the memory of his deeds has been rehearsed when the weather was not indeed the cause of idleness. The latter occasions were however very few, for apples are too plentiful in Northfield and vicinity. He rests in pieces. Hurrah, Hurrah! l ! ! For Paul Dushau! l l ! ! Long I IO2 I i 1 A NORWICH MYTH I In the city of Richmond, in Davis land when the Light of Day was breaking, a Knight, fair, blithe and debonair left his Tenney-ment, sad- dled his horse and rode into the country. He was an Alger Cianj of the Boyce Csterousj Schakowski tribe and feared nothing. Soon he met a very old Woman Anderson. She began to Patterson on the back and the Knight asked, S'loud I why smite thy sonfl This did not Fraser, he chokes on a Seiple-fish. The pain Hoyt him and he Ran fdl all about in circles. 'Tvvas not a Mearfsj joke. Watson is this? the Knight asked. This is the Batchelder son of Clarkson and hence my great grandson she answered. The Knight stuttered I Frink if he hadnlt Eaton the Seiple-fish whole it wouldn't have Hoyt him, and rode on. Now meeting an Earle, one of his Kinsman who was riding North in great haste, he cried.

He saw many Graves with Flint headstones on which the White Frost had fallen until they looked like Muller stones. He frightened a Graeser, feeding his cattle, jumped many Hedges Heyer than he can hope to do again and avoided every Hayden. He rushed past camps Where the Campbell was ringing for dinner. He saw more than one Cobb of corn, hot from the Cole, Hung at him by johnson Auge and Wheatley the campers. He was going to catch some and Stow them in his saddle bags but they were burnt too Brown. At last he arrived at the circus. There he saw a tall Thomas bird which is called a Drake, with a Sharp beak. He took several Ames at it but Nims who was there as ringmaster forbid him to shoot.

R. L. A. 'o9. AUTOBOGRAPHY OF TI-IE SENIOR BANNER Here I am a decrepit, torn, soiled and mutilated rag, surrounded by these glaring emblems of other classes who are constantly .flaunting their brightness and dignity in my face. Even visitors at the museum gaze pityingly at me, but it is only in the ignorance of my career. Which of these gaudy ones have ever seen the trouble and strife that I have caused and the amusement and consternation that I have seen. I remember distinctly my conception and my manufacture. I was made by a poor old lady down town, off from the remnants of a silk shirt, with some cheap tassels bought at a 5 and ioc store. My design was rather crude but an educated person could easily decipher my hieroglyph- ics as meaning ,O7. My first acquaintance with my class was when the old lady brought me out and with tears in her eyes said, Really young men, you agreed to pay me 33.50, but if you only have 53.37 I will take that as I need the money badly now. Imagine my feelings on learning that these creatures were my masters. Chagrin and sorrow overcame me and I slept. - I was rudely awakened one evening and taken to a dance where I seemed to be the central figure of decoration, being jealously guarded by my masters and afterwards hidden away in a drawer. At the dance there had mutterings come to my ears such as If the Rooks will only try to get the banner and Be sure to watch the bannerfi etc., and the feeling came over me that my masters were men of principle, men who Would do and die in the performance of duty, ah! how proud I was on that gala Occasion, the one bright spot in my short but troublesome life. How glad I was that the members of ,O7 owned me, that I stood as an emblem of that wonderful class. How sure I was that my honor would always be upheld, and that above all I would never fall into the hands of those hated rooks. But O, what a downfall my pride had, how often the things we are so sure of prove us false ! Only three days after, I was snatched from my place of rest and gloated over by a quartet of frivolous rooks and handled like a mop rag. Then I was shoved under the floor of Lymie's room and rested there for some time. Every little while I was taken out again and they gloated over me some more until one day Itravelled down 1o4 country quite a distance and was left in an old soap box for over a year. Hard did my fate seem to me and my thoughts became mouldy and stag- hated. Then a bright day came for me. I remember that it was about Xmas time that I was resurrected and brought back to college. From then on my life was excitement itself. Soon after my return while I was domiciled in a chiffonier drawer I heard remarks about me by an old master of mine. How ferocious and bloodthirsty he seemed, and I laughed. His line of chatter was to the effect that if I ever showed up within his sight, 1 Y . I would be lost to my new comrades. That same night I was taken into his room and Hashed around, but did he move? not he, his bloodthirsti- ness was all gone, so I was taken to my old hiding place. Time and again was I displayed before the '07 members, but there was nothing to it. One day the room in which I was hidden was ransacked and I was peek- ing at them from a hole in the wall, but I was not discovered. How the quartet did laugh and hoot when they came in soon afterwards and I laughed with them. After this for some time I was carried in the coats of 105 various cadets and for about two weeks ate my meals with a senior. I was taken to class meetings, my tassals were snatched from me and one day a corner was cut off for Crabby. At one class meeting I had heard of the new 'OS banner and the glowing description of it and wished very much to see it. My opportun- ity came not long afterwards when the class picture was taken. It was taken in Dewey Hall and there I saw that king of banners. How I en- vied its glistening decorations and clever design and how miserable I felt when they threw me on the floor in front, and spreading the king carefully for display, gathered around for the picture. It came to my ears after- wards how my former masters broke into the photographers studio, broke the plate of that picture, and then moaned and wept around afterwards to escape the consequences of this hoodlum's act. No other picture of me was taken with the 'o8 class for various reasons of generosity and kind- ness, but it was taken of me alone. I was then thrown in an old box and kept there until commencement week, when I was displayed at Various ,points with tantalizing regularity to the seniors. Never did the class of which I had once been so proud make an attempt to regain me by a united effort. Of course I realized that seniors and officers should not provoke trouble or scrap, and that they should always be gentlemen as they said. But this could not explain why they had ransacked rooms in their owners absence, nor why they burg- larized a studio in the dead of night. Oh, why had they made no effort to regain me in a proper manner. I doubted their class spirit, I doubted their courage, and -their affection for me once so loudly voiced, but I did not know and think I never shall. After commencement week I was more or less cut and hacked, nearly half of me was taken off as souvenirs and then I was taken to the museum to join the ,old banners. Long and deeply have I meditated on the scenes I have Watched, at the remarks I have heard and the adven- tures I have passed through, but with no consolation to myself. Of late my melancholy has passed away and I hold up my battered head proudly. 'Why? Because in spite of the indignities I have received at their hands, in spite of the rude and cruel treatment I was subjected to, I am proud to remember that no one of my kind has known as intimately as I have the glorious class of lo8. .

My Dear Papa:- Oh how I long to see you and mamma and little sister again. I never thought i could change so in twenty fore hours, but my ainbishun for a college career is all gone and Ijust Want to git back to the dear old home. I have enclosed a leave blank and won't you please sine it for I must git home by Friday or I shall surely perish in this miser- able whole. Let me tell you some of the things they done to me. I got here in the afternoon and thought I would like to see how the college looked 107 1 although school didn't open till S oclock last evening. So I walked up and found the place all wright but a big fellow stepped up to me and said 'in what I thought was a kindly tone ofvoice, Youanew man?l' I looked as wise as I could and answered That's what. Well, says he you're too fresh, help that man lug that trunk up on third and hustlef, Itried to expostulate with him but before I could say a word he shouted, No back talk, git a busey, rookie. By this time there were eight or ten others looking on so I had to give up and carried trunks and furniture all the afternoon. I haintgot over it yet for we have to get up at six olclock and I didn't git my morning nap. There is one man here a tall slim fellow who wears two V shaped stripes on his arm and is called corporal and I am more afraid of him than of anyone else. He has shouted at me at least six times just because my hat wasn't on straight or I had my hands in my pockets, or else because my coat wasn't buttoned up fthe wind blew it open and I couldn't help itll and, Oh, i hate the old bugle, the officers, and the uniform and every- thing and just want to go home. Please let me. Your loving boy, Orville. qsoPHoMoRE.y N. U. Sept. 22, 1904. My Estimable Paternal Ancestor:- Back on the dear old hill again looking after the welfare and general salnbrity of the rooks. And such a pusillanimous, unintelligent, unmilitary bunch as they are. They have been here two days and not three of them can distinguish taps from assembly, and I have to shout like an orator at the summit of his voice to make them comprehend that they must keep their blouses buttoned and their hands out of their pockets. But they have learned one thing indiscriminately and that is to stand at attention when I come into their quarters. And they don't call me any pet names, either, but address me by my full title of Corporal. Last night I made taps inspection and when I asked Hall right? one effeminate creature said, Yes indeed, thank you, and another said, Good night, Corporal. I didn't say anything then but if they get familar again they will get a load of my verbosity. . Some of the rooks are amazingly fresh and seem determined to address the upperclassmen as old man, etc, but they all say sir when they articulate to me, for a corporalls dignity must be maintained. I must close now and go out to oversee my squad. Affection to everyone from Your dutiful enthusiastic son, Corporal Wise. P. S. It would effectuate with approbation the general financial degrandizement if you would condescend to forward a hundred and Hfty more bones immediately. Corp. 108 KIUNIORJ Norwich Sept. IS, 1905. Dear Governor:- We are back in the blue again and having a dencedly hard time of it too. I tell you it's no cinch to be a sergeant. VVhy the corporals in my section don't know as much as an average rook ought to, but to see them drilling their squads and calling the rooks down, you would think that they knew the whole of the Drill Regs. from index to appendix by heart. I have to give them call downs once in a while to keep their heads from expanding unduly. Most of the ofhcers too, are new to theirjobs and the junior class seems to be the main support of the military department at present. We have started in on mechanics and it is a snap compared to some things. Itll bet anything you please I get over goin it. And by the way I passed up that Differential Calculus at the special exams yesterday. I ani on guard to-day and such a nuisance I never saw. The O. D. doesn't know what he wants to do, the corporals are positively useless, and the privates likewise and I must go down to the guard room and coach them up. So long, O. E. Weise. P. SI By the way, I could use another hundred mighty well. 0. E. W. csenionq W Northheld, Vt., November, 23, 1906. Dear Sir:- Your favor of the 15th with check came duly to hand and was gratefully received. I could have used a large amount but will try to scrape along on that until you can send more. You must know that the Senior year in college is the most expensive one and a first lieutenant must live in accordance with his dignity and responsibility. I have decided that I will consider any offer of a position as chief engineer of any large railroad though I fully believe myself capable of filling the place of general manager. If you should hear of a vacancy of either description you will do me a favor by notifying me at once. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain as ever, Orville E. 'vVeise. lOlj Never under any circumstances harm a man equal in size or larger than yourself. My choice of opponents is the smallest man within call. Never let him know that you are angry until too late. If possible get your arm around his neck and hold his head hown, then ping him good and proper, preferably on the kisser. Having accomplished your purpose, loose him quickly and spring into bed and go to sleep immediately. No man worthy of the name would strike you when asleep. If you fail to succeed in the sleep act just laugh gently, and however provoking names your opponent may call you, do not get up. I have found that generally a man will not strike you when you are lying down. I might add that it would be well to turn pale with passion or some such artifice, as it lends excitement to the occasion for the spectator, A few days later shake hands with your man and be sorry your anger got away with you. This series of actions will render you more popular, add to the glory of your position, keep useless prosylites away and keep your conceit well balanced. D. U. Sm-th assisted by H. L. Mull-r.

SIDE LIGHTS ON GREAT MEN ROY MORSE BATCHELDER. CBabej Faniiliarly known as Blue Eyes, has a winning way about him which never seems to fail with the ladies. Proud of his shoulder straps and proud of his blue eyes, but proudest of all of his privilege of going to Barre when his do is in. GUY WALTER coBBj Guy is chieiiy noted for his constant attendance at church and the ex- pert manner in which he can manipulate a 'phone receiver when the call comes from down town. His grouchy expression is deceiving, hiding an elephantine playfulness awful to behold. LEROY HOWLAND DAVIS. QChestyj To the intiniates Chesty, has a strange tendency to gravitate toward Boston at the slightest excuse. Hurried and precipitate in all movements but not really meaning to be rough. A secondary passion is the search for the ,O7 banner resulting always in failure. His plans are original, cute and cutting but fail in the nrst essential, success. His af- fection for football has leaned him toward the method of keeping low and bucking hard on all occasions. IIS CHARLES DEXTER FRINK. ' Charlie is primarily distinguished by his petite red necktie. Its a beauty and is donned on all occasions when personal appearance counts. His nrst year was hard for him for the bugle calls sounded like the cows at home and he never failed to bring his pail along. Has a11 inherent fac- ulty of thinking one thing and saying another just like Sherlock Holmes and other great men. Randolph is his lode stone but it is getting weak lately. FAY HENRY CAMERON GRAVES. i This grave bearing man of large affairs takes himself so seriously that no one else needs to. Bears up under his straps with the equanimity U5 of a supreme judge, but nevertheless watchful that they are not slighted. His By-weekly visits down town show a wierdness the next morning, try- ing at times to his inferiors, and amounting almost to frivolity in the dis- charge of his duties. TIMOTHY JOSEPH HOLLAND. Timmy is O. K. that's as far as Timmy can see. A military bearing of a unique style and a voice striking terror to the hearts of bucks when raised in anger have boosted him to the exhalted UQ rank of a Ist Lieut. He knows that he's a Lieut. and sees that .no one else forgets. When really in earnest the ladies stand no show at all, but most ot the time he doesn't mean anything. Is convinced that a few years away from North- iield will improve his social accomplishments, a thing which can be done. LEROY EUGENE KNIGHT. CKidj Kid is really a handsome youth and while knowing it, there is nothing tight about him. Beauty doesn't last forever hence these visits to Barre so that all might come and see. His military record is no idle jest as far as he can see, and if any one else thinks it funny he had better not pub- lish it. Has a sublime confidence that he can whip, well, most anything about these parts which has not been dissipated as yet. OLIVER YEATON LEONARD. His duty and its proper performance is his first consideration but his social duties are not neglected. A striking example of the reward to true merit. ' JOHN HERBERT MEARS. Uohnniej A very busy man with a whirling of wheels that can be heard for miles. Labors under no delusion as to his inability to do anything or any- body. Has an affection for children which has led to some embarrassing situations but has recovered. Military first and always. Intends to be a lawyer and may get there. MARSHALL JOSEPH NOYES. CSliverj Hardly suited physically for the tremendous burdens he takes upon himself, but all there in the spirit. Imagines he has more than an ordin- ary genius for detecting things in general and is a light in the giddy social whirl down town. 116 HARRY CHADWICK PRATT. Along, lean man, with an intellect soaring far above his physical height. Has a fondness for all things military especially the brace. Presides over S. C. in a firm but kindly manner. Partakes somewhat in the whirl but only that no one should forget the oak leaf. WILLIAM MORRIS RYAN. CPaddyD A rollicking Irishman with a daring gleam in his eye. His acquaint- ance with things in general and the fountain in particular is marvellous. He means all right and a few years hence we hope to see him doing as he means. PHILIP VINCENT SHERMAN. CI-Iij His time and interests are centered in Dewey hall rather than in the barracks but he is proud of the 'fPlatoon ' also, and never tires or orating on its fine points. Constant association with his roommate has altered that Carbonic arrangement of features and his new arrangement of the fluffy curls make him quite attractive. THORPE THOMAS. A true soldier and violently tried. Has worked for all he has and some day he may get all thatls coming to him. Has a unique faculty for butting in and in fact has advanced ideas on the proper condition of af- fairs in the military line. Bufing at the Platoon is his specialty, giving advice from a superior to an inferior about things he knows about andlots more he doesn't know the least bit about. Isntt half bad as a good fellow, but well, he gives me a pain as a soldier, though he can't see it that way. He may get wise some day but no one here will ever know it. ROBERT PITTIGRUE WATSON. QBobbiej Another terror with the ladies, who is attracted chiefly by his prowess at basket ball and base ball. It pains him to report a delinquency but when compelled to, can do it with vigor and effect. He has a strong wing kept in constant practice by the introduction of stones through windows. He is to establish a home for the broken hearts of Northfield.

IIQ SPRING fTl1e poet submits apologies for the time worn subject and the lack of meter.j Oh whistle a tune of the joyful spring The sap now runs from the trees below, The Christian rules and martial laws we sing, Which hand in hand can never go. The copious slush is with us still And things are running fine. Oh say ! is it due to brother Bill That weather changes all the time? The tentative programs have come and gone, Where did you rank ? is the only song. While winding paths on the snow clad lawn Enforce a life of the hammer and tong. From my window in daylight and darker hours I see the temple of Christian Science Black walls once the Dagos' homely bowers, Now vacant, to fire and wind it waves defiance The hill still shows in huddled heaps, Some rocks that aid with stately grace, Advance guard marches and sentinel peeps And add to the beauty of the place. The Hall Carnegie is still undone And gives the workmen some work, more play But still 'tis true beneath the sun, Undone, unused, 'tis new, 'twill always stay. The militant laws are fast and thick And days are more than crowded full And firm and hard is every stick For those too lazy to push or pull. Oh sing a song of the joyful spring, While burning grass and tours are rife For the Dewey system is just the thing. To record the ups and downs in lifef' 120 THE OLD SOUTH BARRACKS, OH! Come, pour the ruby wine 1ny boys, And give a loud bravo, For our tried and true companions Who have left us long ago g They are scattered on the ocean Of life's pleasures and life's woe, And ne're again may shout with us In the Old South Barracks, Oh I CHORUS. In the Old South Barracks, Oh I In the Old South Barracks, Oh ! And ne're again may shout with us In the Old South Barracks, Oh l They left us here to vegetate In military Row, To serve the time alloted us Through Sunshine and through snowg But we'll treasure up in memory, Where'er through life we go, The names of those who've met with us In the old South Barracks, Oh! CHORUS. To the Army and the Navy Q Each prospective grand hero, Who Went from out among us To fight his country's foe,- May he Win a crown of laurels, Where'er Fame's breezes blow, And shout amid the battle's blast For the Old South Barracks, Oh! CHORUS To our hero-chieftan RANSOM One glass before we go, His blood bestains the rocky height In distant Mexico. His country's Hag waved o'er him When the volley smote him low 3 And we'll drop for him the silent tear In the Old South Barracks, Oh! CHORUS. To the silver-headed veteran Who slumbers ,calm and low, West Pointers join the chorus From the everglades and snow, 121 NVe'll crown with brighter memories, As onward still we go, Our stern old founders cognomen In the Old South Barracks, Oh! CHORUS To the ladies fair of Norwich -Where'er through life we go, We'll treasure up each witching smile They eier did on us throw From the Congo's dismal galleries, And the cushioned pew below, Or erst upon Commencement Day From the Old South Barracks, Oh! CHORUS. To the pretty ones who occupy -Our hearts' internal row, Who have chained us by their glances, And have stole our 'fections so 5 They have handled Cupid's arrows In a Way by no means slowg And we'l1 chorus them eau de' U7-6 In the Old South Barracks, Oh ! CHORUS To the annual Commencement Our heart shall overflow, As we lose our boon companions Pro bono publico. But welll shout the chorus louder, As o'er life's sea we go,- A hip hurrah for old N. U., And the Old South Barracks, Oh ! CHORUS To the coming year of jubilee Our cups shall overflow, When we hope to gather once again In eighteen sixty, Oh! To mourn each patriot fallen, To share each brother's woe, And once more to join in chornsing In the Old South Barracks, Oh !
