Excerpt from The Lucky Bag, Vol. 10: Class of 1903 IN presenting this volume to the battalion and its other friends, 1903 pays its farewell to its Alma Mater. The book is composed of the gleanings of three years of toil, and is, of course, intended primarily as a memento of our academic career, so you who are not members of the class do not be too hard on us if you cannot understand some of our jokes. Remember that they are intended for the class. We have tried to produce a book that will be of interest, not only to the battalion, but to any one who takes an interest in the Navy School. \ve earnestly hope that the articles on athletics will bring this subject before the graduates who have left the service, and that the article on the Naval Academy will impress upon them the fact that their Alma Mater, much as they abused her while here, still lives, and that she ought to live in their hearts forever. We thank our friends out side of the class for the help they have given us, and we thank the members of the class for furnishing us with several good jokes at their expense. We thank jang for his tooth; Leo, for his puns; Mike, Fwetzie, and the Dago, for their little peculiarities but principally we thank the officers of the Indiana' for the happy cruise we had on-her that gave us a chance to regain our lost faculties and reputations.
