RAYMOND HODGES TUTTLE
Montpelier, Vermont
"Skipper," "Tut," "Tootul."
"SKIP," the mighty son of the Green Mountains! The pride of Ethan Allen! Small, did you say? Yes, but oh what a rumpus he makes! When he appears, it is a sign to remove all wrist watches, don shin guards and headgear—for there is sure to be a rough-house.
"Skipper's" one ambition has been to grow. He has been section leader of the Growing Squad for the last two years, but in spite of all "Doc" Thyroid's efforts, "Skip" is still one of the runts.
When it comes to the Mexican Sport, "Skipper" rates Admiral. Get him to tell you about going to Canada sometime, and see if he doesn't end up with, "Vive le Canada." He also has a long and pitiful tale about one Army-Navy game when he had to sleep with his overcoat on to keep from freezing.
Growing Squad (3, 2, 1).
