Ililderbranti," synonym— "Hammock Bug." You have all, of course, read how 

 our little friend Richards covered himself and the class with glory at Com- 

 mencement. Unfortunately we were not all permitted to sit on the stage 

 at Carnegie that evening, but those of us w T ho were not were just as proud 

 of our Valedictorian as though we had not been relegated to the ranks of 

 the "Class of '99." 



Our treasurer Alpers is here, and helps while away the hours with his 

 discourses on "Religion and the Hereafter." That old hat of "Eikies," which 

 afforded the class so much amusement, has been adorned with the signatures 

 of the enlisted '98 men, and suitably decorated with the national colors, and 

 is to be presented to one of the young lady members of the class. Our colony 

 is composed at present of the following: Richards, Piskorski, Fraser, Vorisek, 

 Alpers, Patton, A. F. Eberhardt, Wild Beckary, Jorgensen, Gellert, Hilder- 

 brandt, Seufert and Eiehwort. We have some camera "fiends" in the crowd, 

 and no doubt some very interesting pictures will result. 



And now did space but permit the menu, table manners and many otfter 

 peculiar customs of the U. S. Navy could be told of. The life generally is 

 to us all a decided novelty, but thus far there is not one who regrets having 

 taken the step. , 



And now once more three cheers for the class of '9S, and when the war is 

 over, may the boys be as successful in private life as they were in the service 

 of their country. Eichwobt. 



'99 NOTES. 



Class of '99 boys seem to be working very hard; that accounts for lack of 

 news. Very few students of our class were present at the N. Y. C. P. Ex- 

 cursion. June 8th. These few had the pleasure of meeting our teachers, Prof. 

 Diekman and Dr. H. B. Ferguson. 



By the way, Mis Leroy and family were greatly interested in the games 

 and especially at the prizes that were given out at the N. Y. C. P. Excursion. 



One of our trustworthy students is among the beautiful trees and flowers 

 of Ulster Park studying anatomy.
