ACADEMY at w est IOlQI anu
the Naval Academy at Annapolis have some
difficulty in understanding many of the expires
sions used by these embryo Generals and Adj
nrals, for the cadets at these two schools
make use of SO much local patter that at times
one feels the need of an interpreter to make the
sense clear.
The slang of necessity changes from year to
year; but many of the expressions are as old
as the hills, and were used by many cadet or
MILDLY who later in life wrote his name in the
history of our country, who if. he lives to-day.
an old retired General or Admiral, will use the
same old slang phrases he used when cadet
when he revisits his alma mater. Naturally, few
of these expressions are common at the two
academies; SO a visitor at one place. who
thinks after visit that he is quite proficient in
the slang used there, will find himself quite at
sea at the other
Some expressions have entirely opposite
meanings at the two schools civilian IS
known as cit" and a man before passing his
entrance examinations is called candidate.
Girl visitors. who delight the hearts of the ca
diets by their calls, are termed "fems'; and
when a cadet has an engagement to escort one
of the gentle sex anywhere he 'dragS' her. A
fourth classman is plebe. and the foot man
of class the goat" but when he falls still
lower out of the class by being found deficient
on an examination. but is turned back to go
over the course again in the next lower class,
then he becomes turn-back. The officer of
the day is called the 20. D. and the officer in
charge the 20. C., and as both on the
lookout to report cadets for violations of
regulations they are equally loved Officially
at both academies. A new man from the same
congressional district who takes the place of
one to graduate is his pred" and the stupid
awkward man is wooden either at West
Point or Annapolis.
