Cox. Lewis Smith. “(.Sully, Three Buzzard. Atlantic City, Water, 'water, evcryzvherc. But not a drop to drink.” Extra fencing—once; led cheering West Point game. Reel-holder to His Majesty, and Captain of the afterguard. Has often wondered why cows don't fly. As a poet, musician, and singer he is unrivaled. In sooth, was the first to sing the entire score of the Belle of New York at the Naval Academy. Can always prove a disputed point by relating an experience of his in Atlantic City, generally mentioning a short and a tall man. Downes, John. “Dinghy, • Jack. ! » W m -, •A« One Stripe. Quincv, Mass. J. “ - A man must be a spoon. Hop Committee (i); June Ball Committee: Divisional base-ball team. A quiet-appearing man with a cool head and lots of nerve. Is not rattled by even the watchman's grim countenance thrust close to his own on a dark night. A great favorite with the ladies, but is usually devoted to one (one is a variable quantity, how- ever). Sometimes induced to play Smoky Mokes. Ruined his musical reputation, however, by playing in London without sufficient practice. m - Enochs, John Matt. Buck. Mucker. Buzzard, Crystal Springs, Miss. u I Help us. God! Trust us, man! Love us woman.” —Mrs. Browning. Second Crew (3. 2). Circassian beauty. He takes special delight in looking like a married man and teaching Sunday-school when on leave. Has discovered a new hair tonic with the help of the little doctor. He is so fond of the truth that, after telling a girl ior two hours how much he loved her, on leaving, he said to her: Don't believe a word I said. I was only lying anyhow. Ii Buck keeps on. the only place where he can conscientiously wear a hat will soon be on his chin. -
