--Y--f v THE GOLDEN STRIPE A Bag with the Permanent Email. Glen ijrara Wentz I+ l'lilR having been relieved of the command of the good ship VVobble, I happened in at the drug store Macross the way,fi' and, after inquiring about some of the old bunch, sought some information of the permanent detail who were on duty while we were at School. I was told that lVIcGinnis, the bugler, had an office in Harvard Square, so there I proceeded. On the door in large, bold letters was G. P. MCGINNIS, School of lVIusic. I was ushered in by an attendant Whom I recognized as Chief Bjorklund. Mr. lVlcGinnis gave me a very royal welcome and introduced me to his assistant, lVlr. Simmons. Mac then went into details concerning the boys, I was informed that Gibbs and Carboneau were, respectively, Postmaster and Assistant Postmaster of Cambridge, Sweeney, who was the P.M. at the School, was with the Brown's Mixture Company as advertising manager, that position having been tendered him in appreciation of his free 'use of the mixturegat the Cadet School. Rosenthal was on Keith's Circuit doing an act entitled, How to wash eighty pairs of leggings overnight. A . Tom Burns, the genial boatkeeper, was assistant to C.Q.M. Bogan instructing the Harvard crews in finding secluded spots on the Charles,'l and I-Iermanson, Gearon, Hogan, Weeks, and Ahern, all of the sick bay, had accepted positions with various dentists 'in Cambridge in appreciation of their leniency in letting the cadets patronize them. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' M: M G' ' s forced Just then a pupil of Mr. McGinnis, a Mi. Gaqum, came in foi instruction on the haip and 1 c innls wa to leave me. So I returned to headquarters in the new Navy Building with the same feeling that I know all the cadets had while at School, that the Permanent Detail were a regular crowd of good fellows. . , C. E.

THE GOLDEN STRIPE Et. 15. GI. liamarg 1 Cnnar or lNS'1'RUl llION IN fJRDNANClC AND GUNNERY, OFFICER lVIA'l'lERIAl. Sc11ooL R. RAllVISliY, Tough Eddie, as the boys call him, is a sailorman of the old'school, and withal an instructor whose thoroughness and keenness commands the respect and attention of every one of his listeners. His five, years, experience on every kind of a ship before his entrance in the Naval Academy at Annapolis gave him the foundation for that wide acquaintance with Naval affairs which he now possesses. Indeed, even at the age which found him entering Annapolis, he was a qualihed second mate and held an unlimited license for that berth. At the Academy he stood very high in his work, being Company Commander, and still he found time to play quarter on the regular Navy gridiron eleven for two years. His career in the Navy was suddenly terminated shortly after his graduation in IQI3 by an injury to his h-earing resulting from the concussion of the big guns on board ship. Having received a medical discharge, Mr. 'Ramsey took up his work in Patterson, New Jersey. His plant, which up to the war had pro- duced the very intricate silk machines extensively used in that city, immediately upon the entrance of America into the war devoted its whole resource to Government work. During the years near New York Mr. Ramsey also won the degree of Bachelor of Science at Brooklyn Polytechnic. ' p Upon the entrance of the United States into the war Mr. Ramsey joined up too, and put in for overseas duty at once. He was given the rank of Lieutenant in the Naval Militia Class 2. The Officer Material School first met him in Octo- ber, 1917, when the School consisted of a class of some forty Cadets and when the ship was located, not in Harvard, but in Technology. He has been with us since and, believe us, He knows the stuff. - a 70
