HORATIO KNIGHT BRADFORD, 2nd Lieutenant U. S. A. Vancouver. Upon his wit doth earthly honor wait And vitiue stoops and trembles at his frown. — Cymbeline- H. K. BRADFORD. It gives US great pleasure to introduce to the kind reader Lieut. H. K. Bradford, of the U. S. Army, wliose picture is seen on this page. Mr. Bradford was once a student of the M. A. C, but on receiving the appointment to the army he left in the beginning of liis Senior year, 1902-1903. The Battalion of Cadets feel proud that one should have been chosen from their little band to .serve as one of our nation ' s protectors. His classmates miss him very much for his help in class matters and also in our annual was very much needed, and, indeed, could our book show some of his wit and humor, we know that it would appear better in the eyes of its critics. Mr. Bradford, like the rest of his classmates, had a very soft spot for the ladies, and his Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights were very seldom spent at college, but crasy some cozy corner, or, (ozy in .some a-asy corner, (it was hard to tell ), — in various Washington parlors. The class of 1903 and the student body extend to him their best wishes, and hope that if it should fall his lot to fight for his country, that his cour- age and manliness will be of the same sort as that exhibited by him while in the midst of us. 19

CHARLES NORMAN BOUIC, 2nd Lieutenant Company A CLASSICAL. President of Y. M. C. A; Vice-President Morrill Literary Society ' ; Associate Editor Reveille ; Chairman Refreshment Committee RossburgClub; Director Glee Club. Rockville. Music is well said to be the speech of Angels. — Carlyle. Alias Tom Hot. — Born at Rockville, Montgomery County, May 26th, 1880. His early education was obtained at the Rockville Academy, entering the Sopho- more class of the M. A. C. in 1900, he has since been a prominent member of the famous class of 1903. At an early age he manifested a strong desire for the ministry, which has never ceased to grow. He was elected first president of the present Y. M. C. A. and is serving a second term. In literary work he has made a marked success, and as a debater he has no equal in college. Mr. Bouic has a decided talent for music and nature has provided him with a great voice and strong lungs with which at almost any hour, day or night, he causes the halls to echo and re-echo, rousing the mournful and discour- aged from their solitude and putting new energy into the slothful. He distinguished himself in football last fall, having made first team and played right guard in several of the hardest games. While at College he has been noted for doing whatever he thinks best, no matter what others say and think, so we all feel positive that if Tom ever gets up against the real thing in the world he will surely be a hard man to down. C. N. BOUIC. 18
