From the 1931 Lucky Bag:
Brooklyn, New York
"Hank"
With a flair for exactness and precision—cultivated by a few years at Brooklyn Tech—Hank came to Annapolis, where he found no special difficulties. While the rest of us were struggling with our ups and downs, Hank kept on as usual, and his steadying influence will not soon be forgotten.
Who hasn't along towards the end of the term, or just before Christmas leave, wished he could transfer a few points of velvet from one subject to another? Brossy partly solved the problem by overworking his steam kit. Not being content with usually accepted limitations of that puzzle box, he made a name for himself by formulating and putting into practice some mighty and unique usages.
By the end of Youngster Year Hank has made a good start towards a record in hop-attendance, but he dropped far behind during second-class summer. The cause of his abrupt change was unknown for a time, as he gave no convincing reason. We soon found the cause—he had discovered that the creeks would float a canoe.
Track 4; Reception Committee 3, 2, 1; Boxing 4, 3, 2, 1; Boxing Manager 1; 2 P. O.
