Lucky Bag

From the 1913 Lucky Bag:

Hardy B. Page

Sandpoint, Idaho

"Ikey" "Jew" "Hardy"

WHEN it was once discovered that Ikey's goat could be paraded with small trouble and less worry, the animal roamed forth to graze in rich pastures, and the owner has spent much valuable time in search of it. Hardy has a good physique, and in a school where competition was less keen he would have been an athlete of the first calibre; as it is, his sweaters do not lack for decoration. He is a heavy fusser, and likes to combine that game with motoring. But his chief delight is in argument, and he will readily furnish infallible opinions on any question under the sun. At mess he spends much time under hatches repenting of the tales he has told about his doings with that kid brother of his.

His classmates find Page both likable and good-natured, albeit argumentative.
