TO lhs EXCELLENCY, EDWIN WARFIELD, GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1905. . t ,. w g..,f .SU If-.19 Introduction A book's a book, although there's nothing in it, says Byron. Encouraged in a measure by these words, we offer to our friends and patrons this volume, as the first fruit of our literary genius. Without any attempt at apology, we would say that we are not wholly to blame for this act. Away back in 1896 a class of Juniors became so wise that they decided to embalm their thoughts in ink for the enlightenment of coming generations. As a consequence, each year finds the Junior Class confronted by the Rat-Tat problem. Such was the case when we returned to oollegeriast September, and, unwilling to ac- knowledge defeat without battle, we plunged into the task. You see the result. Believe us, we should never have attempted such work had we not felt it to be our duty. How- ever, since this book had to be published, we have striven to make it as interesting as possible to all our readers, and especially to the sons of Old St. J ohn's. We have tried to bring back to them the remembrance of the happy days they spent here, and to show them their Alma Mater as she is today. In our Miscellaneous Department we have been guided by the old proverb, Laugh, and the world laughs with you, weep, and you weep alone, so if it appears to you rather light and frivolous, bear in mind that the purpose of this book is to entertain,-not to reform. The grinds and roasts have been dealt out with a free hand, but with good will. They do not, in every case, represent the true character of the individual, we are pleased to say 5 so do not make the mistake of interpreting them too literally. In passing your criticism 'upon this book we would ask you to remember three things: First, that it is our primary work in the field of literature, second, that books can not always please, however good 3 and third, that we claim no special merit for this one. .With these few words of explanation we present to you this, the seventh edition of the Rat-Tat, with the compliments of THE EDITORIAL BOARD. 5 Editorial Board , Editorial Board Miscellaneous Editor, H.

Nothing in the country surpasses the picturesque beauty of its situation. .Facing College Avenue are McDowell Hall, the central building , with Pinkney Hall named after William Pinkney, a distinguished alumnus, and the residence of the Presi- dent on the left. At right angles to these stands Woodward Hall, built in 1899, and named in honor of Mr. James T. Woodward, through whose aid the building was made possible. To the left of McDowell are Humphreys Hall and the homes of the different professors. Just back of the open square between McDowell and Pinkney Halls is situated the new dining-hall, built in 1903, with the money appropriated by the Legislature of 1902. The campus,which slopes towards the Avenue, embraces about twenty acres. The front lawn is shaded by large, handsome maples, lindens, poplars, and other trees. Nearly in front of Pinkney Hall is a gigantic poplar tree, looking fresh and green, with ivy climbing up around its old boughs, which is supposed to be older than even the ancient city of Anna- polis. The first treaty with the Indians is said to have been signed under its shade. Nearly every side of Pinkney Hall is covered with ivy, and the same vine is making its way over the other builidngs, giving them a venerable and dignified appearance. McDowell Hall, the central building, is four stories high, and in it are recitation rooms and offices. On the Hrst floor is a large Chapel and graduation on hall, with a gallery above, upon which are hung shields with Latin and other inscriptions giving the names of each graduating class since 1871. A curious old belfry surmounts the structure. Everything about the old house carries one back to days long past. Even after this lapse of time can be seen places in the old hall filled in with bricks where pillars were to be put out and from which porches where to project. On the south side, the places left for the pillars were never filled in. Near the eaves are blocks of wood inserted in the bricks, where corniees were to be placed. In 1824 this old hall was the scene of extraordinary festivities. Our government had sent a national ship to bring over General Lafayette to our country as the guest of the nation. Lafayette, escorted by two companies of cavalry, as he ap- proached Annapolis was met by a deputation from the city,-Judge J. Townley Chase, Chancellor Bland, and other gentlemen. Judge Chase greeted him with welcome-the friend of our country, the friend of Washington, the defender of the rights of man-and invoked for him the choicest blessings of Heaven, here and hereafter. Lafayette said: The welcome I receive from you, gentlemen, in the name of the citizens of Annapolis g the pleasure to meet you again, my dear and venerated sirg and the remembrance of one of my earliest friends and co-patriots in the cause of America, your excellent brother, are sentiments which I am happy to express. I thank you for the testimonies of your esteem and friendship. I rejoice with you in the admirable results of our glorious revolution, and feel an affectionate eagerness to re-enter the metropolis where I am so kindly invited and where so many old obligations have been conferred upon me. 15 2 View of Campug At his entrance into the city, Lafayette was received by a large array of military and citizens, and by them was escorted to the State House. Little maidens with banners waving, bearing the inscription, Lafayette, the friend of our fathers, will always be dear to the hearts of their children, strewed flowers in his path. As he entered the Senate Chamber, Mayor Boyle made him an address of welcome, referring in tones of deep feeling to his service to our country in the revolutionary struggle, and expressive of the admiration and sympathy of our countrymen for him in the events of his glorious career. Lafayette responded with an expression of his joy in the blessed results of the great struggle, and his gratification in the manifestations of the respect and kindness of our people for him. While here he was entertained by our citizens and public officers, among them Governor Stevens and Judge Jeremiah Townley Chase. By invitation of Governor Stevens, he made the Governor's mansion his home during his stay among us. At night the city was illuminated, and General Lafayette was escorted to the ball- room, the Hall of St. J ohn's College, where the grace and beauty and sterling manhood of the region around were assembled, all eager to show their respect for our illustrious guest. A gay company, dazzling lights, brilliant flowers, music and song and rejoicing hearts made it lively times in old St. J ohn's. Next day on the college green there was a review of the military of the United States and the Maryland Volunteers, and a contest in rifle-shooting. The prize won was pre- sented by General Lafayette to a member of the company of Captain Lewis Neth. General Lafayette was then conducted to the Citizens' Banquet in the Hall of St. John's College. On Sunday General Lafayette attended divine service in the Methodist Church. Cn Monday he was entertained with a banquet in the Hall of St. John's College, by the Maryland Legislature, after which he left for the city of Washington, escorted by a com- pany of cavalry. Humphreys Hall is used for the accommodation of the Preparatory boys and Pinkney Hall is occupied by the three lower classes of college students. The Seniors have rooms in the new building. Woodward Hall contains the college library. In the library there are about eight thousand volumes, among them many valuable reference books relating to our early Colonial history. This building contains, also, the Chemical, Physical, and Biological laboratories. The view from the halls is attractive. The Severn River is on the left and in the rear of the grounds, the Naval Academy further along on the left, and the town, with the old State House and Governor's mansion in front and on the right. Such is St. John's College, whose history forms one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of Mary- land. IT buf , mf 1 .4 M6 ' Q L 'QQ 45 N?---. , . ...-A-f--,-f , Y- -- McDowell Hall. 'v ix History of Jt. john's College St. John 's College, the fourth oldest collegiate institution in the United States, traces its origin back to the year 1696, when an act was passed by the General Assembly, establishing King William's School. The purpose of this school was declared to be the propagation of the Gospel and the education of the youth of the Province in good letters and manners. Rev. Andrew Gaddes was sent out by the Bishop of London to take charge of the school, but as the school building was still incomplete, he was appointed a lay-reader in All Saints' Parish, Calvert County, Maryland. The earliest mention of an officiating master of the school is found in the records of St. Anne's Parish Church. They record, 'Died, November 9, 1713, Rev. Edward Butler, rector of St. Anne's, and master of the free school, Annapolis. Few of the names of the rectors of the school have come down to us, but about 1756, and for nine years after that date, Mr. Isaac Daken is men- tioned as master of the school. On the 17th of August, 1784, the Rev. Ralph Higgin- botham was appointed master of King William's School, and when at a latter date the school became incorporated with the college, we find him occupying the position of Professor of Languages in the newly-organized institution. , This school is noted in the annals of the State as the nursery of some of her greatest men, among others the dis- tinguished lawyer and statesman, William Pinkney. Information, however, regarding this seminary is but meager, although the Act of 1750 indicated that the school was not without influential friends and supporters. In the meantime, in 1732, as appears by a paper now lying in the executive department at Annapolis, proposals for founding a college at Annapolis were read in the Upper House of Assembly and recommended to the consideration of the Lower House, but no legisla- tive effect was given to these proposals. The project was again revived in 1763. A committee of the GeneralAssembly recommended that the house in the city of Annapolis which was intended for the Governor of the Province, be completely finished and used for the college proposed to be established, the money for the work to come out of the public treasury. The annual cost of the faculty, consisting of seven masters, with the five servants, was provided for. The measure, however, failed to pass the Upper House. Ten years later the intention of establishing a college in Annapolis was again manifested, as we learn from a letter written October 4, 1773, by William Eddis, surveyor of customs, at Annapolis, to a friend in England. In this letter he states that the Legislature has determined to found a college for the education of youth in every liberal and useful branch of science, which will preclude the necessity of crossing the Atlantic for the com- pletion of a classical and polite education. A building on the banks of the Severn, 19 Pinkney Hall +, eriginally intended for the Governor's mansion, but described in the letter as a melan- choly and mouldering monument, was des'gnated as the proposed collegiate edifice. This building is now McDowell Hall, the central one of five buildings constituting St. John's College. The Revolution interferred with the carrying out of the plan, but in 1784 the charter of St. John's College was granted, two years after a like charter had been given for the establishment of Washington College at Chestertown, on the Eastern shore. It was intended by the terms of the charter that the two colleges thus founded should constitute one university under the name of University of Maryland. By an act of 1785, the property and funds and students of King William's School were conveyed to St. John's College. Among the chattels passed to the college were a number of quaint and curious volumes brought over by the Rev. Dr. Bray from England, and which still remain in the library of St. John's. On November 11, 1789, the college was formally opened, and the dedication per- formed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance, and forming a long procession from the State House to the college hall. Among those who were active in promoting the welfare of the college in its infancy are to be found, John Carroll, the first Roman Catholic Archbishop of America 5 the Right Rev. Thomas John Claggett, Protest- ant Episcopal Bishop of Maryland, and other eminent divines of the Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Presbyterian churches. Tradition says that the name King William's School was changed to St. John's College to suit the ideas of the patrons of that period. Among the students of that early period are to be found the names of George Washington Park Custis, a stepgrandson, and Fairfax and Lawrence Washington, nephews of George Washington, also, of Francis Scott Key, who entered St. J ohn's, November 11, 1789, and graduated in 1796. On Friday morning March 25, 1791, President Washington, attended by the Governor of Maryland and a number of citizens, visited St. John's College, and expressed much satisfaction at the appearance of this rising institution. Almost all the noted families of Maryland, and of other States, have in some way, and at some time, been connected with the college. In order to establish the college under the terms provided for in the charter, private subscriptions amounting to 810,000 were collected, and to provide a permanent fund for the further encouragement and establishment of the college, the Legislature enacted that the sum of 191750 C5B8,750D current money be annually and forever hereafter given and granted as a donation by the public to the use of the college. With this aid the college went forward under Dr. John McDowell, the first president, in its work of educating men, till January, 1806, when the Legislature, by a majority of only six, withdrew the annuity, and the visitors and governors of the college were com- pelled to announce that the college must close. Within the brief period of thirteen years, from 1793, when the first class was gradu- ated, to 1806, the names of four Governors of Maryland, six United States Senators, five members of the House of Representatives, four judges of the courts, one Attorney-General, 21 one United States District Attorney, one Auditor of the United States Treasury, six State Senators, fifteen members of the House of Delegates, besides foreign consuls, officers of the army and navy, physicians and surgeons, distinguished lawyers Cincluding one Chan- cellor of South Carolinab, college professors, etc., are to be found among the names in the register of the Alumni. In 1807, Rev. Dr. Bethel Judd was chosen principal, and the work, though grievously hampered by the action of the Legislature, was partially con- tinued, and in January, 1812, 31,000 of the annuity was restored. Rev. Dr. Henry Lyon Davis served as principal from 1820 to 1824, and the Rev. Dr. William Rafferty from 1824 to 1831. In 1831,Rev. Dr. Hector Humphreys was appointed principal, and by his persevering efforts and personal influence with the members of the Legislature, asum of 32,000 Was added to the annuity, provided the Board of Visitors and Governors should agree to accept it in full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims they might have or be supposed to have against the State. k The Board consented, and the deed of release was executed and entered upon the records of the Court of Appeals. At the same time, the Governor of the State, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and the Judges of the Court of Appeals Wereniade ex-oflicio members of the Board, indelibly aflixing to the college the character of a State institution. In 1833, the principal was authorized by the Visitors and Governors to collect a fund of 330,000. About 311,000 was raised, and in June, 1835, the corner-stone of Humphreys Hall was laid with impressive ceremonies. Chancellor John Johnson, a distinguished Alumnus, was the Orator, Frgm this time on there are lists of graduates for each year except 1843, '45, '48, '51 and '54, until 1855 when the college was reorganized, and in the same year Pinkney Hall was 22 built. Two years afterward Dr. Humphreys was succeeded by Rev. Dr. C. K. Nelson. He guided the college successfully until 1861, when the college buildings were utilized as a military hospital by the United States army until -the close of the war. In 1866 the college was reopened with Dr. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, as prin- cipal. On his resignation, the following summer, Dr. James C. Welling was chosen prin- cipal. He resigned at the close of the session, 1869-70, and Dr.'James M. Garnett was appointed in his stead. Under his administration in 1871, the first class since 1860 was graduated, and continuously thereafter classes have been duly graduated each year. After the resignation of Dr. Garnett in 1880, Rev. Dr. J. M. Leavitt was invited to under- take the administrative duties of the college. He served until 1884 when he went abroad for his health. Prof. William H. Hopkins was next installed as acting principal. He maintained control during the sessions of 1884-85 and 1885-86. During his administra- tion he worked strenuously to raise the college from the conditions to which she had fallen through lack of financial aid. His efforts, however, were not very successful. It was under his direction and personal efforts that the detail of an officer from the United States army, and also of an engineer from the United States navy, was obtained in accordance with the provisions of certain acts of Congress, with the conditions of which St. John's was able to comply. He resigned in the summer of 1886, to accept the position offered to him by the trustees of the Woman's College, Baltimore, and Dr. Thomas Fell was called to occupy the presidential chair. At the opening of the session, 1886-87, when he entered upon his duties there were but sixty students in attendance, and the general condition of the grounds had become greatly deteriorated. He at once set to work to renovate the study rooms and to promote the comfort of the students during their resi- dence at college. The old wood stoves were removed, and in their place steam-heating apparatus was introduced. Bathrooms, with hot and cold water, and other conveniences, were placed in both Humphreys and Pinkney halls. New life and vigor were also infused into the whole course of instruction, and, as a consequence, the number of stu- dents during the next year amounted to one hundred and thirty-eight, or more than double the number in attendance at the time of his appointment. On the 26th of June, 1889, the college celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its existence under the title of St. John's College. Many of the old students returned for the occasion, and friends who had not met for years exchanged the heartiest greeting. Owing to the large assemblage of visitors a tent was erected on the campus, in the shade of the old poplar tree, where the literary features of the programme were carried out. ' Toward the close of 1891 the Board of Visitors and Governors authorized President Fell to initiate a movement for the formation of an endowment fund. In furtherance of this project open letters were sent to the alumni, inviting them to subscribe the sum of 810.000, these letters have been responded to by them in a gratifying manner. Contribu- tions have also been received from others interested in the welfare of this venerable insti- tution, so that a fair beginning has been made toward placing it upon a sounder financial 23 basis than it has hitherto enjoyed. Two new buildings have been erected,-Woodward Hall, named for Mr. James T. Woodward, through whose aid the building was made possible, and the new dining-hall which was built in 1903 with the money appropriated by the Legislature of 1902. A more prosperous era seems to have dawned upon St. J ohn's, and she bids fair to assume that high position among colleges of the United States which she so well deserves. , 24 ,1 J!

In its completeness and beauty it is the pride ofthe College. The Legislature of 1902, recognizing the long-felt need of new quarters for the College Club, appropriated 315,000 for the erection of the building shown in the accompanying cut. The plans were drawn by T. Henry Randall of New York City, whose acquaintance with the venerable age of St. John's and the Colonial City in which it is situated,well fitted him for the important responsibility of maintaining its Colonial style of architecture. Including the basement, or kitchen floor, the building gis four stories in height. It is built of specially made brick, and roofed with slate. From 511 sides its exterior presents a pleasing appearance. Its gracefully curved windows and tapering roof make it an impos- ing structure. ' . The main entrance faces due West, and is on a level with the new terrace which was built last summer, .directly inthe rear of McDowell Hall. Entering the vestibule of the dining-room, one sees to the left a broad stairway adorned' withigraceful banistcrs, leading to the dormitories above. These rooms are newly furnished, each is provided with two clothes lockers, and light brown shades are at all the windows. At the head of the stairs is a suiteiof rooms intended for the instructor in charge. Only Seniors live in the building. The dining-room is sixty feet in length and fifteen feet in height. It is ornamented with twelve Corinthian columns, a handsome fireplace and hand-carved mantle. There are twelve heavy oak tables with Cxford benches. All the woodwork, including the floor, is stained a 'dark brown bog-oak. The wallsnare richly papered in green and the ceiling is calcimined in the same color. A , I XLarge swinging doors open into a serving room which is to..be provided with steam tables and other conveniences for the 'better preparation of food. From these doors the dining-room with its snow-white tables present a beautiful picture, perhaps unequalled by any college, dining-room in the country. From the serving room descent is made to the kitchen. .Here is a modern twelve-foot range with broiler and hot water tank attached. On each' side ofthe basement passage to the kitchen there are three rooms, on the right is a waiter's room, store-room, and cold storage, on the left a cook's room, baker's room, and linen room. In the rear of the kitchen is the bakery, well equipped with utensils and a portable-bake-oven. This oven is built of brick, in a solid steel case g it weighs twelve thousand pounds and can do the baking for three hundred persons daily. By the side of the' bakery is the coal bin with af capacity of forty tons. 'The entire cost of this building and furnishings was about 330,000 26 Interior of Dining Hall , n 1 l 1 X.

The class has 'many strong features -to quote Burroughs-but it lacks entirely an idea of the importance of being well published, for the Historian is reported to be the biggest bum and the laziest man in the Senior Hall. He won't lace his shoes before breakfast one morning in three months, he won't take part in athletics, he won't do nothin', but sit on his fencing-girl cushion and smoke dopes. Another great mistake was to make Strange treasurer. With the propensities common to all Jews, he duns the fellows before their bills are due, and when fortunate enough to get a dollar, lives on cough-drops forthe next week. As a consequence of our error, we shall have to detail Rube, Somer, and Mooney to swipe 'possum skins and rob potato holes 'in the country to get a class shield. But we compliment ourselves upon our choice for president. You should see Wirt Wilmer since he is both president and Major. He has all his hats made to order now, but, to be confidential, he is still the same boy of old, with a few crazy notions added. He imagines that he is responsible for all that goes on around him, and continually harps on what he calls devotion to duty. Every night at 11.15 sharp, despite the anathemas, howls, and mumbled Sunday School words, he turns out every light in the hall. We don't like this, though we can not blame one vested with so much authority. Old Lady Wilson was again made vice-president, not at all because she deserved it,'but, being a very sensitive dame, she would feel slighted if not given some considera- tion. But then it doesn't matter who is vice-president. The position is simply honorary. We still retain Somerville as secretary, because he never writes minutes and we are not troubled with hearing them read. His duty seems to be to callthe roll. He is still in the fluttering state mentioned last year. Perhaps this accounts for his not being able to keep still long enough to journalize our momentous proceedings. But in justice to him, I will say that he has carefully considered, and finally determined upon one thing- marriage soon after graduation. We wish him well, but pity the girl. Our achievements in athletics .during the past year have been gratifying. Mudd made an excellent baseball captain, and was re-electedunanimously to the same position thigigear. This action on the part of the team is a high tribute to his ability. . To express general opinion, Halbert was the best football captain in the history of St. Joh.n's. Q His work on the gridiron is a direct contradiction to the saying, a captain never plays' good ball. , Our schedule this year was a hard one, but through the com- bined efforts, of boys men's fearlessnesst and men's aggressiveness, directed by a head A . I . 54. 1 so wise Cyet so ignar'nt J, wemade a record to be proud of. Halbert played astar game during the whole season. It was his touchdown that defeated our old and confident rivals, Western Maryland. ' Tarbert, who left college to prepare for the Naval Academy, has returned, and is again captain of the track team. He has slept all winter, but will no doubt awake in due time. 4 Our Senior year has been by no means dry and uninteresting. When we have graduated, we shall look back upon our college career with pleasure, if not with pride. Many things we will remember, and some things we shall probably tell our grand-children. Beautiful thought! Perhaps we will remember longest those things which happened in our Senior year. We will not soon forget that morning in November when Dr. Fell announced in Chapel that the new Hall was at last ready for occupation. A whoop went up from the Seniors, followed by cheers from the other classes. The whole class skipped all recitations that morning to move from the old quarters into the new. What a change! New rooms, new furniture, all modern conveniences, everything bright and clean. But when snugly housed in our different apartments that night, our feelings were not altogether pleasant. Was this the old St. John's we had learned to love? Our surroundings said, No. We did not realize before what an attachment we had formed for the dark halls of old Pinkney. When we were Freshmen, they had witnessed our home-sickness, when Sophomores, our ghostly midnight prowlings, and when Juniors, they were our studies. We had left those halls now for good. Never more would we engage in a Fourth Floor rampage or a water battle. It seemed, too, that we were separating from the under- classmen whom we had learned to love. With those thoughts in our minds we went to sleep that night. Next morning when we were awakened by the bright sunlight on the snow-white walls and glistening furniture, we felt glad of the change. In a few days we had become accustomed to our new surroundings, yet there still lingers in our hearts a warm affection for old Pinkney Hall and her clinging memories. And now the show begins. Being no longer under the watchful eyes of those for whom we should set an example, we turned ourselves loose. Mooney again began to do stunts, Old Lady to give vent to unearthly shrieks practiced and perfected in the heart of a West Virginia forest, and even Wilmer began to sing disconnected snatches of rag-time accompanied by jigs. We were boys again, with all a boy's love for fun. The first part of each evening was usually spent in preparing lessons, but about 10 o'clock some one would rush out into the hall and cast his vote for United States Senator. This would start the ball rolling. i The exercises were different each night. Sometimes they would take the form of a deliberative assembly with everybody chairman and all speaking at once. The subject was generally Theology, about which not a Senior knew his own mind. Benny, Mallory and Somer were the loudest speakers. Above the noise which filled every nook and corner of the building could be heard the soft, musical UD tones of Scabby's voice swelling out on The Village by the'Sea. The discussion would continue until the participants became disgusttddg and they would all rush out to join Scabby, walking 55 slowly to and fro, lost in his song. Then Scabby would display his fine chest and broad shoulders, Masey would set up the cigars, Wirt would turn out the lights C1113 p.m.D and all would go to bed. At other times the exercises would take the form of a comic opera, in which Mooney was always star comedian. Music was furnished by those who got hold of the instru- ments first, and everybody joined in a march up and down the hall to the tune of You Don't Belong to the Regularsj' or some other popular song. Mooney would break out from the crowd and give us an imitation o' dem goo-goo eyes. Instruments would be thrown aside and attention given to that veritable mimic. He, being instructor, would hear a recitation in Greek from Mr. Mudd. That gentleman having responded, and having received three zips and reported once or twice, Mooney would proceed to show how Booby Hall dances, how Mallory draws his sword, and several other hows, after which he would rush to his room. Upon being implored to come out and prolong the exhibition, he would stick his head out of the door and say Hain' goin' tell ye, slam the door, and go to bed. Then a general entertainment would ensue. Mersey and Scabby would perform the illustrated joke 5 Old Lady would sing If I Were Only Sam Montgomery, Masey would refuse the cigars, and we would retire to our respective dens. Thus has time passed, with never a day lacking its quota of fun. We were much surprised one day when Beachley contributed a mite and sprung 'a joke. It is his best, worst, and only joke and deserves repetition. H Once upon a time a man owned a big speckled hen which laid an egg every day. One day he put a large porcelain egg in the nest and to his surprise the hen laid one that he could not tell from it. 'By J ove,' he thought. aloud, 'if she will only lay one as large as the nest egg every day, I have a fortune' So he put in a goose egg next time. The hen deposited one just as large. With the dream of 'get-rich-quick,' he whitewashed a foot- ball and put it in the nest. Next day he was rewarded with an egg as large as the pigskin, but was startled by a label on it saying, 'What do you take me for, an ostrich?' He broke the egg and-the hen was inside. Q . Do you see the joke? 'No one did when he told it,.but the sickly grin he produced was the cause of some merriment. ' This reminds me of Scabby's frog tale Eve used to tell Abel. We won't tell it, nor will weadmit that Scabby is not original. If he can't construct a good joke, he can make a house from cellar to attic in a week Cthat is, on paperj, and do it well. He is going to plan a club house for Morgan next summer. We have ponies, automobiles and almost every other kind of conveyance in the Hall, but the most peculiar and most dreaded is the water-wagon. It probably derives its name from the fact that nothing stronger than water may be used to lubricate its many and intricate parts. It rides hard, especially on Saturday nights 5 and a throw is dangerous, chiefly because the victim must nurse his injuries in silence. You remember that earth- quake shock at Annapolis,,reported some time ago? That shock was caused by Hick and Old Lady falling simultaneously from the awe-inspiring wagon. They escaped with their lives, but both suffered painful injuries. Old Lady had the jim-jams, and Hick an abnormal enlargement of the cranium. Since the fall, Hick has retired to his den, and opens up for neither saint nor sinner. Sometimes we see him go out to the letter box and back again. When he talks he says he is taking a correspondence course. it 56 We are sorry to lose one of our members, but can spare him better than any of the others, for he is a dry old stick with never a blossom of wit or wisdom. We fear his head is permanently injured. ' . Another thing which causes regret is the separation of the 'Htwin Williesf' To say thebest of them, they are a nuisance, because of the trouble they make in the nursery. The best way to dispose of them would be to place them both in one room where they would be company for each other. One night there was a dispute between the two twins, and before Chapel next morning, .on the dislodged towel-rack out in the hall hung Willie G's poor little silk stockings. A reconciliation has been accomplished, but never will they consent toroom together again. So we might go on and on telling of Burroughs' enthusiastic defense of Rayner, of Hodges' Southern sympathies, of Stick's play-'writing propensities, of Padgett's pas- toral aptitudes, of a score of things, but the space assigned is filled, the sun is sinking in the West, the Historian's cushion is becoming hard, his pipe is aTmost red-hot, and there is a yell in the hall which must be heeded: H'ray, h'ray, h'ray!

CARTER always had the ambition to be a great Chemist. At the beginning of this year he spent forty- seven hours per Week Cmore or lessj in the laboratory, and' Went to no recitation but Chemistry. The faculty informed him that he must cease to devote all his time to this branch of study. He did, and now he devotes it to reading Tip Top Weeklies. Last year Bull was elected Secretary of the RAT-TAT Board. He worked hard in his official capacityg wrote the minutes of one meeting and lost the book. He is a musician of some note, though his fame has 'not yet spread beyond the boundaries of his native state. X It Was our intention, dear reader, to show you B. DUVALL CHAMBERS with his mustache, but the hard-hearted Wretch has shaved it off, so you must try to imagine how he looked. He entered our class last fall, and when at the first class-meeting he attended it was announced to him what the dues were for the coming year, he fainted. A pitcher of Water revived him and he managed to live through the meeting. He lives in the new Hall. Plays on the guitar, and sings love songs to General Grant. He is a faithful worker and a good class-mate and would be a handsome fellow-if he only had his mustache. 60 ARTHUR BOND 'Cis SEL, formerly attended ,Anne Arundel Academy, but one day, while wandering aimlessly about, he landed at St. John's and as he did t h , no ave' money enough to ride back, nor energy enough to walk he staid here. Like Carter, he has a fondness for Chemistr H A y. e spends half his time in the laborator d y an the other half arguing with McBride on religious questions Stu dies ,when he has nothing else to do, and goes to classes when he has reached his limit' of demerits. Has a pull with the Major and expects to be a First Lieutenant in his Senior year. Where ignorance is bliss, etc. We believe that EDMUND PEYTON DUVALL was one of th e founders of St. John's. When he came here no one but Tommy, Johnny Green, and himself can remember. Ned believes that variety is the spice of life, for as soon as a new class arrives he deserts all others for it. 'Tis said that he has learned five class yells. He was of a very lively disposition, but he fell in love with one of th e chorus girls in The Prince of Pilsen and since that time he hasnever been quite himself. J. HOWARD FOX is from Baltimore County as no doubt you h l ave a ready guessed. He has the regulat1on Baltimore County expression on his face, and also the prescribed walk of that community. He looks rather pleasant in th. . . . is picture, it was taken just after he was elected Presi- dent of the Y. M. C. A. Foxy is quite a military man 5 since he was promoted to sergeant his head has grown considerably. He says that the increase is due to his great 'knowledge of Math. Perhaps it is. He is one of the most promising niemb f .l corps. ers o tie surveying G1 HARRISON RODGERS GORE, ladies and gentlemen, from Upper Marlboro. He was a pretty good fellow when he came here, went to Y. M. C. A. once a month and church every other Sunday, but he roomed on the fourth fioor for two years, and-well 'tis the same old story: he soon fell into fourth floor ways and began to send Freshmen to church on Sunday and make them answer present for him on Monday. He reads dime novels during the day and goes to the theater at night. Delights in melodrama, his two favorites being The Fight for Millions, and The Fast Mail. This year he moved down to the third floor and under Draper's good influence has begun to reform. If he stays there another year, and puts Prep Gosnell out, we may yet reclaim him 3 otherwise there is little hope. T JOHN M. GREEN is the oldest inhabitant of St. Joh having arrived two years before Ned Duvall. He tells us some very interesting stories of his early co days. Johnny is a happy-go-lucky fellow, who n worries about what the morrow may have in store for 11 He is a rather handsome chap, and the girls all like but don't tell him so, it might make him vain. I also an excellent dancer in spite of his hundred ninety avoirdupois, and glides over the floor like a cl over water. At present he is engaged in writing a b entitled, Nine,Years at St. John's. 0 Don't let this harmless expression on the face of ARTHUR W. HARRIS deceive you. He is like dynamite 3 safe if you know how to handle him, but extremely dangerous . to any one ignorant of his properties. He sometimes goes off with a bang upon the slightest provocation, and the shock produced is something awful. Since his arrival at St. J ohn's he has been stored in Magazine Number 16, in charge of Fox. Harris always has a rainy-day ex- pression on his face and how this picture was made to assume such a pleasant look is one of the mysteries of photography. Unlike most Juniors he has a very modest opinion of himself. g ' 62 n's,, ften -lege e ver im. him, Ie is and uck ook S. ROLAND HOPKINS is a handsome boy from H f ar ord County. If you can't reconcile these two facts, just look at the picture and the former will be proved 5 you must take his word for the other. Hopi' has a laugh like the purr of a Numidian lion. We do not hear it often: this year for he has been sorely pierced with Cupid's: shaft, and sits around in obscure corners, whiling away hours in silent meditation. We fear that he will even- tually becom ' e a speculator, for he has already invested some money in Bond's. Of HARRY I. JACKSON there is not much to be said, and perhaps the less said the better His ambition is to become a preacher. We wish him success and extend our heartfelt sympathies to the congregation. He has an excellent opinion of himself' thinks he can sin 2 A ' gf thinks he can play football, thinks he is an oratorg- O wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us. xx This gentleman with such a seraphic smile is J. VINCENT X JAMI SON, JR., a great athlete, and a would-be sport. He comes from Hagerstown, the l-and where they make bicycles and almanacs. Jam is another firm believer in the saying variety is the spice of life. He has been at St. J ohn's three years and has changed his course J four times. Why he does it we don't know, but we think he is trying to get three degrees next year, and it is even rumored that he is taking a post-graduate course, on the sly. He has long been an advocate of the Honor System, and ' tl ' IS ie proud possessor of the strongest pipe ' on the fourth floor. I .1-1.-x '. G3 5 F r want of a better 'name we will call this sketch JOHN O HARRISON CAULK KEMP, JUNIOR. Cork is a mal? 111 years a boy in size, and an infant in manner. His OW stature is probably caused by the weight of thatenor mous title which he bears. His favorite occuplaticzpl. is making life miserable for the inhabitants of t e U 11' floor. Whenever you have a lot of work to do in a limited time, you may look out for a visit from Cork, His coming is usually announced by a rattling on the door. If you don't open up right away, he will rattle until you do. After you have kicked over three chairs, upset the ink, and dropped your pen in the slop-bucket to open the door, he enters, looks at the calendar, cir- cumnavigates the table three times, and goes out again, never failing to leave the door open after him. He is very ingenius, and his room abounds in all sorts of labor- saving devices. M KEITH NEVILLE is from the wild and woolly west. He This man with the Latter Day Saint expression on his face is CLARENCE A. MCBRiDE. He taught school for a short time before he came to St. John's, and now he labors under the impression that he is still a teacher. He tries to teach the students, the Professors, and the world at large. Some one once told Mac that he could play a cornet and he has believed it ever since. Day by day he sits in his room and blows upon that instrument to his own satisfaction and our disgust. Expects to be leader of the band next year, By Gosh. was brought in from the plains of Nebraska by a tornado and as he came by Feldmeyer'sDrug Store he bought two tickets to a burlesque show. Thus began his sporting life, and' it has continued up to the present time. Punch is a musician, he sings tenor inthe Sour Grapes Quartettej' and composes beautiful sentimental songs. When he graduates he will either become a member of Congress or a Professor of Math. oi Here we have the great and only MERRIT GALE RASIN. If you have ever seen JOSEPH R. PENNELL you can not fail to know him. He introduces himself, and makes such a lasting impression upon you that you can never forget him. Where he came from, no one knows but himself, and he won't tell. We have succeeded in tracing him back to Ohio, but there we lost the trail. Hank has three chief desires: the first is to marry the girl he loves, the second is to pass Math and the third is to go to Heaven when he dies. g This picture would look more like him if he had two or three second-hand uniforms on his arm. Mac is a speculator in second-hand clothing. He has been very successful in his profession, for he has that wonderful power to make the same suit of clothes fit persons of different sizes. Mac is President of the Junior Class, as you can tell by that important look on his face. He's a roystering jolly good fellow, And always prepared for a fling, But yet has one failing accursed- He thinks he is able to sing. HENRY L. RULAND is Mac s room mate If 1t requires persons of opposite natures to agree Mac and Monk should get along finely. The only similarity between them is that they are both Math fiends. Monk came from Speonk. Have you ever heard of the place? He says it is the Metropolis of Long Island, but we fail to find it on the map. His one delight is reading magazines and Black Cats. He does not believe in hurrying through life too fast, says he wants to enjoy it as he goes. Monk was elected treasurer of the RAT-TAT Board, because if he chose to skip with the funds he would not be hard to catch. 65 If ARMINE W. SMITH does not enjoy life, few people do. He: is a society man, spends most of his time down town, and a great part of it in the pantry of a certain Maryland Avenue residence. His nerve is proportional to his eating capacity-both are infinite. Smitty sings. in the Glee Club. He has a beautiful tenor voice and desires that every one should know it. He is a member of that band of musicians which goes forth on moonlight nights to serenade the fair maids of Annapolis. Expects to be Major. I God bless the man who first invented sleep, says JOHN A. TARBERT every Sunday afternoon, and then he lies down to take his Sunday nap. It usually lasts through most of the following day, but he calls it his Sunday nap. The reasons for this somnolence are easily seen when we know that he is from Baltimore County and is a brother to Harry. Country, as he is sometimes called, is of a rather quiet dispositiong perhapsit is due to his close association with Monk Buland. He is an excellent baseball player when he is awake. To tell the exploits of this hero would require a mightier pen than mine, yet, that you may know him if you should meet him again, I will give you a few facts concerning his life. His name is DUNCAN CAMERON CARLTON WALTON. If you ,don't care to repeat that tongue twister, just call him Bones and he will come Bones is a Chemistry student, and has become so skilful in that branch of science that Prof. Cissel sometimes allows him. to sweep the snow off the walk in front of the Lab. About a year ago he had a serious attack of heart trouble, and for two months he was compelled to visit the Doc-- tor's house. three times a day. 'He was finally cured by removal from State Circle and vigorous track team work.. 66 We now present to you the last man, alphabetically and otherwise, in the Junior Class. His name is HARRY W. WILLING. He has numerous pseudonyms and aliases, but the one by which he is best known is Pop He had hard luck this year 5 just as he was busy at work on the RAT-TAT he caught the mumps. O, that it had been lock-jaw. Pop is a second edition of Punch, He poses as a sport, goes to theater, and out among the ladies quite frequently. He is also quite a punster, and often has a room full of fellows trying to find the point to his jokes. l .H Poetical Uiew of the juniors 1 i,lil4-li - BERNARD M. CARTER. .... .

N anticoke, Md. junior History ,ii Time has flown so quickly since the class of 1905 first assembled within the walls of old Pinkney, it hardly seems possible that we should have a history. But as I sit back, with my pipe in my mouth, thinking over the events that have occurred in that time, I realize that there is a history, and that many things have happened which have since al- most passed from our memory. ' Former historians of this class have pictured the midnight raids of our Freshman and Sophomore years, in one case with us as the raiders, in the other as the raidees, of the scrap with the Juniors in our Freshman year, and that with the Preps. last year, for which eleven of our number were suspended, so it remains for me to portray the events of om' Junior year. We have always been an original class. Although it is not an understood thing among us, we seem to do everything in just the opposite way from that in which all other classes have done it. V With most classes, it seems to be the custom to study hard during the Freshman year, perhaps to let up a little in the Sophomore and to take life easier through the Junior and Senior years. But we have this just reversed. In our Freshman year there were only four in the class, Foxy Quiller Pop Willing, Sis Hopkins, and Valk who studied at all, and they did not suffer from brain fever. In June of that year, Fox and Willing got star second grade certificates, and Valk and Hopkins got second grades. There was not a man in the class without demerits. Last year the class took a decided brace and in June, eight certificates including three first grades and one .star second were captured by 1905 men. That, however, was due mostly to a crowd of new fellows who entered the class in the Sophomore year. This year we are all overloaded with work. In addition to our Junior studies, which are about the hardest in college, we have to follow in the footsteps of all other Junior classes and publish, or try to publish, a Rat-Tat. Pop Willing, our Editor-in-Chief, seems to have given up studying for this year, to do Rat-Tat work. In February he flunked three exams, including English. Just think of it, the Editor-in-Chief of the Rat-Tat fiunking English. ' . . , Many members of the class have fallen by the wayside, some left at the end of our Freshman year, and more at the end of last year. In our Freshman year we had twenty six members 9 a jolly crowd of romping, fun-loving boys, who had assembled from all parts of Maryland, and even from from Nebraska and New York. At the end of that year, Brogden, Graham, Lilly, and G. F. Smith, for various reasons, left college. The next fall upon returning to college, we found another crowd of hayseeds here who expected to join our class, and who did finally make it.' They were Sporting Life Ferrell, Pimp 70. N Gladden, Lightning Harris, Cork Kemp, Mac McBride, Rat Trail, and Webster Wells. It took some time to get these fellows used to the ways of 1905, for Rat, Cork and Mac would not skip classes for some time after their arrival, and sometimes in the warm days of Spring, it is essential to our well-being that we take a day off. Webster Wells was among the number that were shipped for hazin g preps., and he was the only one that did not come back. He is now studying law at the University of Mar land. H h ' ' - y C e s ould have studied it before, so he would-have been better able to plead his cause before the facultyj. This fall we received bad news when we arrived, for nearly half the class had deserted us Bill Aske J B' . y, ay 1rd, Parson Bowen, Dal Cronin, Sporting Life Ferrell, Pimp Gladden, Uncle Phil Merryman, Rat Trail Eugene Valkand Dutchey Vey failed to come back, and great were the lamentations f th J ' o e unior class over our loss. The fourth floor misses Dal, who used to sit in the hall every night until o t ' l ' ' ' ' ne or wo o c ook, telling Jokes. The third floor has the greatest loss in Uncle Phil HD 7? ll 77 ll ' I! ll ' utchey, Rat, and Pimp. Uncle Phil was the champion water thr if I ower o the college, and he and Smitty used to have water battles every night. Our disappointment was somewhatabated by .the addition of Parson Jackson and Ch b . . . . ,, . . am ers, but even as the historian writes this, Parson is on his way to Chicago. 'Tis said that he is married, and that is why he left college. 9 In athletics we have always done well. In our Freshman year, although buttwo of our men l d f b p aye oot all, we had four men on the baseball team. Last year we had four men on the regular football team and three subs while this year 1905 men filled five laces 1 1 4 p on the regular team and one was a substitute. In baseball last year we had three men and two subs. on the re ula t ' g r eam, and out of six men who won track team monograms, three were '05 men. In our Freshman year, in the class baseball games, we won from the Juniors, 24 to 5, b I . . . ut lost to the Sophomores 9 to 1. Last spring after winning from the Sen' 17 t 11 , g iors o , we went into the Junior game with the determination to do or die. Never did Ned itch so ll p we , never did the team bat so well, and the result was that we won the game, 14 to 8, and thus took the championship of the college from 1904, who had held it ever since their Freshman year. ' We have not a very musical class, although to hear Smith sing, or to listen for hours at a time to the deli htful st ' f g rains o McBride's cornet, one would imagine that we are all musicians. Mac Basin must think he can sing, for he goes through the hall at all hours of the day, wearing his heart away for some one, we know not whom and ' , wearing our patience away at the same time. Cut it out, Mac, or you will be assassinated. Wonderful to say, we have two men who are regular attendants of the Y. M. C. A., Fox and McBride. We always supposed Fox would be president but we could not imagine h W ere the vice-president would come from until McBride arrived This l l , f . c ass ras never been very religious, and I do not believe the whole class has ever been to church together but once C S I D . n unday, hovember 13, of our Freshman year, the movement was agitated for every one to go to church, simply because it was the 13th of the month. No doubt the minister thought thirteen was quite 1 luclw' number u hen he saw tl 1 f , . . ri. ' . ' ie C ass o 1905 file in one by one on that auspicious occasion, but I don't know what he thought when he saw T1 them file out, one by one, before he commenced his sermon. We have had, at various times, three preachers in our class. Parson Bowen was the first one and this year there are two, Jackson and Chambers. They help to keep up the reputation of the class in religious matters, although they never go to Y. M. C. A. It was a sight to see the whole' class go to the reception given by the Y. M. C. A., the first part 'of the year. There are strongindications that they went to get the ice cream and cake glven away at that time, for very few have been seen at a meeting since. Although the individual members of the class have been more fully described in an- other part of this book, a few words on their peculiar characteristics would not be amiss. John M. Green was elected vice-president, probably because he is so handsome that he had to have some position, and that of vice-president is purely ornamental, so we decided it was the best place for him. , Cork Kemp is a good specimen-of Eastern Shore humanity-or inhumanity. He is a great pest and-well, that is about all that can be said of him. Clarence A. McBride has but one prominent peculiarity, and this has already been treated so fully in another part of this book, that no more 'need be said about it. Of course, you all know what this is. You would if you lived within five miles of him, for he blows on his cornet from morning till night, under the delusion that he is making music. This history would not be complete without Armine Smith's name in it. He expects to be major next year, but we are not so sure of this. - ' The Editor-in-Chief of the Rat-Tat should, in the natural course of events, come in for a good sound berating, but, poor fellow, he has enough trouble, so we will let him go this time. . If the mumps do not prevent it, next year at least half of us will be Seniors. Ah! Can this be possible? Yes. Every day, every week, carries us nearer to the much-sought- for and long-awaited goal, that of High Muckety Mucks and Chief Cooks and Bottle Washers of St. John's. Imagine the delight 'of having no haughty and supercilious upper-classman ready to yell at you in ranks 3 in fact, no one but yourself to order you about. Such joy, such exhilaration as we will experience-next September, when we come back with the feeling that we can do almost as we please. And now, with many thanks for your kind attention, and apologies for this everlasting bore of a. history, I will close, with best wishes for the future welfare of St. J ohn's and the Class of 1905.

This narration is intended not for the eyes of grammarians, nor for the blue pencil of critics, but for the sons of this old college, they alone can appreciate our struggles and adventures. This is a Sophomore Class History and let us hope that the members of 1906 will treasure it not as a piece of literature, but as a memento of the happiest days of a lifetime. I ' This may well be called the first year of our college life. We are no longer poor, timid and much-abused Freshmen, those days of terror have passed. We are college men, and we have a small linger in all that goes on. Sometimes it is a very small finger, when we think it should be the whole fist. Confidentially, we would like to be the entire show and lord over all, but we can't. The upper-classmen won't let us, so we must stand back and look on for another year and let those wise Seniors and Juniors run the machine. y There is one thing, however, that this class can do, and that is to olier lots of good advice concerning matters of great importance, under consideration. We have several members who are- noted for their wise counsel, and the upper-classmen frequently consult them on matters ofstate. e ' Three things are noticeable in the Senior and Junior classes, they are: First, the air with which. those dignitaries strut about, second, the endless red tape that they must always go through, and third, the deluges of hot air which they pour out upon us and which we mustbear, simply because we are under!classmen. F There is so much of this f'warm atmosphere about us that I -fear by the time we are Seniors the same will have been imbued in us, and we will be just like the present leading spirits at St. John's. , . On the 18th'day of last September the echoes of a class yell were heard floating over the- front campus. As the last line of the yell died away, a crowd of light-hearted, noisy fellows came into sight, and every one knew that the class of 1906 had returned. Some one yelled Sophs, and what happened then is beyond my power to describe. There was a great scampering of green-hued objects, but really they went so fast and disap- peared so suddenly one could not tell what they were. We have learned sincethat they were Freshmen, some of them are running yet-. Poor, dear children! How they must -have longed for home and mother when they heard that awful word, Sophs. It doubt- less struck terror to their fluttering hearts, for we have heard very little from them since 80 that time. They have been a rather quiet and well-behaved class of Freshies, just as all Freshies should be. Occasionally some of them need a calling down, and they get it with a right good will. G The Sophomore Class is also the G. O. H. For the benefit of those who never ran afoul of this bunch of heavyweight door smashers I will write it out. G. O. H. means Grand Order 'of Hazers. It is this aggregation that does all the deviltry, breaks all the furniture, throws water, cuts the Freshmen's hair when it is too long and worries the life out of Tommy. It does all of this and much more, and is called the worst nuisance in college, but it makes the Freshies stay where they belong, so it is some good after all. Were it not for the G. O. H. the Freshmen would soon take the place, and then we would have to call out the Heroes Prepis Belli to restore order. . In the evening,'after supper-not every evening, for we do not rough-house the Freshmen every night-four or five Sophs will be gathered in Buck Devries' room taking a quiet smoke, when in walks Prep Gosnell, hot on the trail of the man with a bag of Maryland, Club. The first thing Prep does after he has gotten his 'fcoflin tack and planted his feet on the table is to inquire if there is a quorum present. A quorum must be present before the G. O. H. can go on a rampage. If the required number is not there, Prep goes out on a hunt and soon corrals a bunch of Sophs, thirsty for Freshman blood and eager for a rough-house. Upstairs, yells Biddy Clark and they are off. In goes the door, out goes the light, and the fun begins. When it is over, and the Freshman crawls out from under a pile of beds, trunks, bureaus and washstands, he thinks his room has been swept by a tornado. This performance lasts just long enough for Bob White, or the O. D., to arrive and the following morning it is announced in Chapel that Mr. --' is rapidly approaching the limit. The reaction always sets in the next morning, you know, just like the morning after you have been enjoying yourself with an old friend. You would imagine, from the sour expression on some of their faces, that the culprits had actually been on a red-paint sortie, and that there was going on somewhere in the interior an eruption of Mumms Extra Bubbles. They are a gloomy crowd for the next few days, and the poor Freshmen have to swallow many a bitter pill. Some one has to pay the fiddler you know, and it usually falls upon these poor innocent Rats You can imagine how the poor lambs feel. Show me the person who would be tickled into hysterics at finding his wordly effects scattered to all points of the compass. Why, it is enough to make a man take a dose of surveying. I know how they enjoy it, and my heart bleeds for them Csometimesj. I was a Freshman once myself. Pm wearing my heart away for you- Kill him! Drown him! Choke him! This is the greeting McCardell receives when, in a sentimental frame of mind, he strolls around disturbing the peaceful solitude of Pinkney Hall by yelling that beautiful ballad in his silvery tenor voice. Poor Mac, he never gets to finish his song for the fellows soon have him on a run for the back campus. There he wears his heart away as much S1 as he likes and carols his feelings over the tar-pit to the dusky daughters of Buzzard's Roost. f'Mac also recites with much feeling and pathos, The Picture on the Bar- room Floor drawn with chalk from the pool table. It is a beautiful little classic, and Mac renders it so well that I have seen crowds moved to tears by 1t. Vill you oben der door up or vill you haf me pring id in on ma pack? Vy vud you make me remain oud here in der damp vedder? I know you fellows vas in dere. Did you egspect me to nonblief dese ears uf mine vat I haf had all der dime? It is Aleck Ruhl, our class treasurer, after dues, and if you are in, you might as well open up and hand over the coin, for if he knows you are at home and are trying to hold him off by keeping out of sight, he will come through and there will be only a hole in the wall where your door used to be. Aleck usually gets what he comes after, for he always brings along his hard-luck story, and mixed in with the Dutch there is a little Hebrew, and the conglomeration gives him an air of persuasiveness that is irresistible. Handsome Harry, ashe is sometimes called, is a number one man and a worthy member, of the Sophomore Class. ' In our last'history we had the first chapter of a very interesting serial story entitled, Ripping, Roaring Bull Harrison, the Loudest Man in the Institution. This story is in seven parts Cone for each year at collegej. Part II. shows our hero deeply engrossed in the Social Problem. He is trying to discover ifuall the fellows in college are descended from the nobility of their respective Fatherlands, and if the blood that flows through their veins is too blue to trickle. His aim is to make all the red blood in the world blue, and so make us all aristocrats. It is a gloriouswork, and we wish him every success. When we were Freshmen, we were so bashful that I honestly believe had a girl smiled at one of our class,.that man would haveffallen over in a dead faint. A year can work wonderful changes, however, and now our class is full of lovers,-Lord Chester- fields and Hacketts all. Show me the maid who could resist the charms of Booboo Hall, or Ma Hearn. These two handsome young lovers have more broken hearts to their credit than the rest of the class taken together. Oh, the degeneracy of an unre- strained puppy-love. I can not but weep when I follow along in the wake of my lady fair and behold the lifeless forms of my chums and class-mates who have fallen in their first encounter with the little god. These youthful sons of '06 died game, for there still lingers upon their faces that same 'beautiful smile which they wore when first they began to revel in love's sweet dreams. Beware, all ye who soar away among the realms of Cupid, lest ye fall from his good graces. 'Tis a sad tumble, and when you hit the earth some- thing is going to be found smashed. h I have read histories in which the writer boasted of athletes. I am not going to boast of ours, 'nor tell who they are, nor what their calibre is, but simply say that we have 1n our class ten or twelve monograms, and that is as much as any class in college can say. 82 We are not all athletes and do not desires to be,-buthwe mean to uphold the re utati of p on o 06 on the athletlc field and everywhere. Our' motto is, Many heads, but one mind Our class is large, but we stand shoulder to shoulder in our struggle for fame and fort ., ,V A- uneg- Long wave the Blue and Gray! I call on h M Q' ' ' you, er sons, to love, honor, and deferrdslt. Fight for it, die for it, but hever debase nor disgrace it. 7 f Xi fire- f o, 4 ,gggyi k wf o Q3 K 1 4 2 Q .

The Historian feels most keenly his lack of ability as well as the poverty of the English language when he attempts to portray the virtues and follies, the trials and adventures, of the class of 1907. So Wide a field and such an abundance of material are before him that he trem- bles lest he fail to doljustice to this chosen band of verdant worthies. y Although our class has been in existence butashort time, we are proud of our record. We feel our import- ance and are ambitious to make 1907 the banner class at St. John's. When we came to College in September, we found, upon taking a census, that the main body of the class was to be formed by those who came over from the Prep. School. However, we were joined by a number of new men who have proved themselves valuable additions to our class. These new members are of various de- scriptions: There are tall, lanky fellows, and low squat- ty fellows, some with a care- less, merry laugh and others with a more serious mien, upon whom the public care seems to rest rather heavily. Our class enjoys the distinction of having the longest and the shortest man inCollege. We are cosmopolitan in the strict sense of the word, but, taken altogether we have in our set of lads as promising as ever entered St. J ohn's. The worthy Sophomores recog- nized this fact, for when we had been here only a few days, they kindly invited us to at- night school under the assumed name of the Glee Club. This latter name was probabQy derived from the fact that the Freshies make merry when it is over. In this were put under thecommand of a most exalted President, and the direction of a very enQightened faculty whose duty it was to draw out the strong points of our character in order that they might tend carefully the growing buds of genius. Their method was the Deductive, which, for bringing out the best in a pupil, is without doubt unsurpassed. Besides these dignitaries there were 'present a large number of Honorary Members and re- tired educators. When everything had been arranged, each of us was compelled to step to the front and give an exhibition of his skill. I shall not attempt to describe in this limited space all the wonderful deeds 'done on that night. However, the picture of a nursery wherein the baby who slumbered so peacefully was somewhat longer than his cradle is still fresh in my mind. This baby was little Contee Longfellow, our infant poet. Since that time he has grown so rapidly that we think perhaps he will be able to hit a ball and toddle around the bases for a home run this spring. midst a tend a club we After the nursery scene, the master of ceremonies called for candidates for the crew, and a number- promptly responded. They were arranged after the manner of the Three Wise men' of Gotham. Among these volunteers was Miss Dick Brydon, who was afterward called to the helm to pilot the class of 1907 through its Freshman year. Having proven the mettle of the candidates, the Honorable Faculty, tiring of worldly things, turned their attentionto the spiritual' and rejoiced in the soul-refreshing sight of a strong man wrestling with temptation. When at last he conquered the foe, long and loud were the shouts which greeted his victory. H A ' At the close of these entrance examinations, the Faculty came to us, and, taking our hands, congratulated us on our good showing 5 at the same time secretly declaring that ,we should have every opportunity for the cultivation of our talents. ,In athletics we have worked with a will and have accomplished much. In the foot- ball squad wefhad two regulars, two subs and live promising second team men. We have, also, a number of candidates for the baseball team who are showing up well. ,. Possum'l Parsons and Shorty Tower are developing into fair pitchers, so that we will be able to furnish men. for almost every position on the team when they are negdgd. We MVC, 1300, J 21149 H H21I'I'1S0I1, the champion tennis player ofthe College. Consequently, we pride ourselves on being well represented in athletics, for so young a class. . 1 Throughout the year we were. very good, and consequently we did not receive many visits from the Sophs. But sometimes when the lights would go out, the cry of All Soph- OIHOPGS Out! Would ring through the halls, striking terror to the heart of some poor little I eo Freshman who, when he tried to screw up his courage, would find that it had fiown back to the woods. Just after thesemi-annual exams, the Sophs, being rather short of cash, con: sulted together as to how they should procure valentines. After a great deal of discussion the fertile brain of avery learned youth solved the problem. His plan was evidently ap- proved, for one night, when the mercury seemed possessed with a desire to get as low in the thermometer as possible, we were yanked out of bed and solemnly conducted to the fourth floor Art Studio. ' There, with wrapping paper for canvas, Eureka shoe blacking for oil colors, thewall for an easel, and our noses for brushes, we were required to paint someientrancingly beautiful pictures. This is but another proof of the great confidence that the Sophs. had in our ability. I could relate many other such stories to you if my time and space were not so short, but I must pass on. In spite of these little happenings, the Sophs are good fellows and many warm friendships have sprung up between the two classes. Our history would be incomplete if we did not mention ,Billy'Beam, the scape- goat of the class, who always kept us in a ,good humor with his pranks and witty sayings. He left us in February to seek his fortune elsewhere. Our old friend Binder, too, has left us. The wish of the class toward them is that Heaven's choicest blessings and earth's brightest joys may be theirs. As we glanceiback over the past year we see several occasions where we might have accomplished more than we did, yet on the whole, we are pleased with our showingl In the class-room, on the athletic field and in all the branches of college life, we have much to learn, but we are young and may profit by the mistakes of others. To make our Class remembered and respected for its literary and athletic ability and for the manliness of its members is the ambition of every member of 1907.

T7'l'0SIl7'l'T Young Men's Christian Association Y'Tf '!!Tf ND still the same old cry of All out for Y.M. C.A. is heard on. ' ' ln' fx Sunday evenings. The attendance this year has been much fl - up better than that of last, yet there are still many who might 'T respond to the call, but whose faces are never seen in our midst. f f.a, 'TJ To the interrogatory why, we would say that we scarcely know a+ -Q' y the reason for their absence. Certainly it is not that any one among our numbers places a low estimate upon the value of our work, for we are sure every student recognizes the worth of the Association and the lofty purpose of its work. Its object has been stated time and time again, and the usual invitation to become a member has been extended to all. Added to this was the personal work of the members, yet there still exists on the part of some students that spirit of indifference which is found in almost every college. The officers, however, are endeavoring to overcome this indifference, and we are proud to say that they are waging a successful fight. May the victories of today be stepping stones to greater victories for tomorrow. One step upward is the securing of a room in which to hold the meetings. Hereto- fore they were held either in the Chapel or around the organ in the gallery. In the first case, the fellows were too far from the organ, and in the second, it was too inconvenient. Through the kindness of Dr. Fell, the old faculty room was placed at our disposal. This room has been nicely fitted up and is an ideal place for the members to assemble and in- dulge in those heart-to-heart talks which are so much enjoyed by those present. 4 113 College songs were sung as never before and college yells rang out just -as on the foot- ball iield. The ceremonies lasted about two hours, and then all retired to their tents, tired but happy after celebrating the freedom of their country. At the end of the conference, we returned to our homes greatly benefitted by our trip and strengthened in our religious intentions. Long will there linger in our minds the memory of those pleasant days, and the beautiful scenes which surrounded the hills of N orthfleld. , S -g -wx '1 f IW - 'W 115 The Band Instructor. PROF.

' Cur two halfbacks, Carey and Beatty, had graduated, leaving two very important positions to be filled. Professors Cain and Chew, who had rendered valuable assistance to our teams by their coaching, had left St. John's, and Captain Wilmer, our star quarter, could not play. Altogether the prospects were not very bright. Undaunted, however, by these difiiculties, the fellows went to work to make not merely a football team, but a good team. Halbert was unanimously chosen captain, and under his leader- ship the men began to prepare themselves for the coming contests. For two weeks, the candidates were put through the regular couse of preliminary practice 5 then came the first line-up. From that day until the close of the season every man on the team worked hard, and onthe 21st of November they brought back to Old St. J ohn's, laurels of a victory which-made her the undisputed. champion of Maryland colleges. To our worthy captain, E. C. Halbert, is due muchof the success of the past season. Professor Cissel, in his address to the students, at the close of the season, said, I consider Captain Halbert fully qualified to take his place beside St. John's most famous captain, Charles Schofl'. In Professor Cissel theteam found a much-needed coach, and his faith- ful services proved to be of great value throughout the entire season. And last, but not least, to every player on the team is the credit due. While .we have as plucky a set of men as composed last year's team, filled with the true St. John's spirit, and led by a captain like theirs, the Crangeiand Black will ever maintain its high position among th colleges of Maryland and of America. doggy, XX 127 - 1-14- Football Team. .

During the forty-five minutes of play, St. J ohn's was penalized sixty yards for holding, but even then M. A. C. was unable to score. The game ended with the score 18-0, in favor of St. John's. Cn the next Saturday our team went to Wilmington to play Delaware College. The day was clear and cold, and our men went into the game with a snap that carried the Delawarians off their feet. But for the unfortunate decisions of the umpire, the score would have been much larger. Captain Halbert was the star of the game. Final score St. 'John's, 6 3 Delaware College, 0. . The tide of victory had not yet turned. On the following Saturday we won a decisive victory over Gallaudet College at Washington. This was one of thecleanest and most exciting games of the season. The playing was fast and uninterrupted by any disputes. Although the score, 22-0, would indicate that the game was one-sided, never- theless, we found our opponents well worthy of our skill, and were compelled to work hard for every foot of 'ground that we gained. Nowhere, during the entire season, were.we more hospitably treated than at Gallaudet. ' On November 7, our team went to Charlottesville to play the strong University of Virginia team. The game. had not progressed very far before we realized that we were outclassed, and the result was that St. J ohn's experiencedthe worst defeat in her football history. Our only consolation was the plucky fight our team made against odds, and the fact that we scored against Virginia on her home grounds. This score was made in the first half when.Captain Halbert swooped up the ball which had been fumbled by one of Virginia's backs, and carriedit across the line for a touchdown. In the latter part of the game, by a series of enduruns, we carried the ball to our opponent's twenty-five yard line, where Duvall tried a drop kick, but without success. . Final score, St. John's, 6 3 Univer- sity of Virginia, 48. H V . I . . A h Unfortunately, our games with Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee, for the next week, had to be cancelled owing to the prevalence of typhoid fever at those institutions, but a game with Washington College wassubstituted. Our team was some- what ,crippledi from the game of the previous Saturday, but we succeeded in running up the large score of 40-0 on the visitors. Our opponents, however, played a clean, plucky game and were especially strong on offensive work. Next came the contest of the season, the game with Western Maryland, which was to decide the Inter-Collegiate Championship of Maryland. - After a week of hard practice on Friday, November 20, our team left for Westminster, in order- that they might have a good night's rest before the game. The following day dawned bright and clear, and everything seemed favorable to-an exciting contest. At 2 o'clock, amid cheers from their followers, the Western Maryland team arrived on the field, and a few moments later a shout went up from the Orange and Black as our own gallant eleven came into view. After a short practice, the teams lined up and the fray began. Green opened the game by kicking off to Western Maryland's thirty-yard line. Here St. John's regained the 132 ,X ball on a fumble, but was unable to advance it, so Duvall kicked to Western Maryland's fifteen-yard line. Our opponents took the ball, and by steady gains carried it to our forty-yard line At that point they were penalized for holding, but still retained posses- sion of the ball, and a few more rushes carried it to our twenty-five yard line, where they lost it on downs. Duvall kicked to the center of the field, and there it remained during the rest of the half, neither side being able to gain regularly. In the second half it was plain that'Western Maryland had weakened. Roberts, who had carried the ball almost every time in the first half, could no longer tear open our line for steady gains. St. John's now began to hammer Western Maryland's line and soon had the ball within ten yards of their goal. Duvall tried a drop kick, but it was blocked, and the ball went to our opponents. After a few rushes they were forced to kick and the play went' on with varying success until but two minutes of the half re- mained. Duvall punted to Western Maryland's ten-yard line. The ball struck the full- back squarely in the chest and bounded out,and like a flash Captain Halbert caught it and carried it over the line for a touchdown. The game ended 'with the ball near the center of the field and the score 6'-0 in favor of St. J ohn's. s. M Our last game of the season was played with Pennsylvania Military College at Chester, Pa. In the first half of this game our men played well and when time was called, theiscore was 11+6 in favor of St. John's. I In the second half, P. M. C. took ac'- vantage of our fumbles and scored three touchdowns. The final score was St. J ohn's, ll, P. M. c., 23. I y e y flfifil 5 , . .- .rf l I33 ff-?Q-1-m.',..

N . if Baseball i In the spring of 1903, a new spirit in baseball was aroused at St. John's. For the past ten years, although enthusiasm in football had been up to the highest pitch, but little interest had been manifested in baseball, and as a result, partly through this indifference- and partly through the lack of good material, St. John's had been poorly represented in this branch of sport. Last year, however, with the electionof Captain Mudd, interest in baseball began to reviveQ The players realized that they had a competent leader, and inspired by this confidence they went to work with a will. Earlyin March, when it was still too cold to go out on the field, they practiced in the armory and in the gymnasium, pitching and catching and getting their muscles in condition for playing when the weather grew warmer. When at last they were able to get out on the diamond, it needed no expert to see that St. John's was to have a betterteam .than she had known for a long time. Then, too, the students began to be seen on the side lines every afternoon, cheering the players on and giving them the encouragement which every team must have to be success- ful. These circumstances combined had good effect, for when the season was over, although she had lost many games, St. John's had also won several well-earned victories. This year bids fair to be' more successful. The men are working hard, and though handicapped by the illness of our veteran pitcher, Stick, will doubtless give a good account of themselves when the time comes, - . 139 Season of 1905 V After the usual preliminary practice which always marks the beginning of a baseball season, we met the strong Gettysburg team on our home grounds for the first game. A heavy rain had fallen the night before, and the condition of the field was such that good playing was impossible. Our men went into the game with excellent spirit, but we lost on account of the costly errors made by the infielders. The final score was 13-7 in favor of Gettysburg. I Although defeated in our first game, we were not discouraged. We still believed that St. John's had a winning team, and everyone waited eagerly for the coming Saturday, when we were to cross bats with Maryland Agricultural College. This game, like the one with Gettysburg, was played on a wet field. Our men showed great improvement, especially in batting. In the third inning, Tarbert and Halbert each knocked a home run, and Wilmer got a three-bagger. Score, St. John's, -9, M.'A. C., 8. I Instead of disbanding and going home for the Easter holidays, our team took a trip in the South for a week. They left Annapolis, Monday, April 6, spent the night in Roanoke, and took the early train Tuesday morning for Radford. A' gamelwith St. Albans was played that afternoon, in a drizzling rain. The grounds were muddy and slippery, and the playing was very loose on the part of both teams. Errors were the chief features of the game. Score, 12-8, favor of St. Albans. . Immediately after the game with St. Albans, our team took the train for Christians- burg, where they passed the night. The journey of ten miles from Christiansburg to Blacksburg next day was of a very exciting character. Since there was no railroad between 'these places, the trip over the mountains had to be made in tallyhosL It was raining hard, and the roads were in such a condition that several times the boys were compelled to lift thewagons out of deep mud-holes, or they would probably have been sticking there yet. A game with Virginia Polytechnic Institute was played in the afternoon, and, as usual, on a very muddy field. Unfortunately Captain Mudd got hurt early in the game and was forced to retire. This, together with a long string of errors, enabled V. P. I. to win by a score of 13-6. About dusk we left Blacksburg, travelled over the same muddy road Cwalking most of the wayb, and arrived at Christiansburg in time to catch the midnight train. Arrived ,at Salem about 1.30, a. m., and spent the remainder of the night there. In the morning we had a short practice, and in the afternoon played a game with Roanoke College. Here again we lost on account of errors, the score being 12-7 in favor of Roanoke. Our team left Salem the same evening and arrived at Buena Vista about midnight. Took the train for Lexington, next morning, where we played Washington 'and Lee University. The field was in good condition and everything seemed favorable for a good game. This was the first game of the series, in which our boys did themselves justice. .Everyone played well. Stick was at his best, and not until the :last inning did our op- ponents score. The final score was5-3, favor of St. John's. During our stay at Lexing- ton we were entertained by Virginia Military Institute, and were most hospitably treated. On Saturday afternoon we played a very interesting game with them. Stick was unable to pitch, but Wrightson filled the position well. Our boys played a good game, but could do nothing with the fine curves of Carneal, the V. M. I. pitcher, and we lost by a score 5-0. This ended the series of southern games, and, although we lost most of them, our team was greatly benefitted and played very creditable ball during the remainder of the season. 141 I CAPTAIN J. F. MUDD, 1903-04. 142 W i 'QQ 1 sr'-1 J FI' , '?'T'!l' -Q - Q r I, 75113 iw!!! gpm-ilk v H tr- 'rv -rf On the following Saturday St. John's met another defeat at the hands of Columbian University at Washington. The first part of the game was plainly ours, the last part theirs, and the final score was 8-6 in their favor. Halbert's home run was the chief feature. . iin our second game with Gettysburg, Stick was far below his standard and was batted freely. The absence of Duvall at short necessitated a change which did not work well and the result was a score of ,12-3, in Gettysburg's favor. I Next came the game with the Navy. This was without doubt the best game that our team playedlast season. Stick pitched excellent ball and kept the hits well scattered. The chief feature was a throw by. Devries from deep center, catching a man at third base. Score, 3-2, in favor of St. John's. ' ' . Another exciting and well-played game was the one with Mt. St. Mary's College at Emmitsburg, on the following Saturday. , The game was a tie up to the ninth inning, but our opponents finally won out by a scoreof 3-2. 1 Our next game was with Western Maryland. .This contest was especially interesting, because of the great rivalry between the two institutions. Stick pitched la fine game, and was well supported by the restof the team. Captain Mudd's work at the bat was excellent. Out of five times up he made one three-bagger, two two-baggers and two singles. 1 The game ended 7-2, in favor of St. .lohn's. ' The last game of the season was played with Gallaudet College on our home grounds. This game was an exhibition of errors. ' In the beginning Stick pitched steady ball, but after a few innings he began to weaken and our opponents, by bunching their hits, scored several runs. Wrightson went in the box at the beginning of the seventh inning and did not allow the visitors a single hit during the rest-of the game. Final score, 11-10, in favor of Gallaudet. 2 .

Several causes contributed to this. Until last year the track was in a very bad condition g hardly fit to run on. Then, too, for some unknown reason, the fellows took but little interest in this branch of athletics. Last spring the athletic field was graded, a new track was made, and interest began to revive. Quite axnumber of candidates came out, and under the leadership of Captain Tarbert, worked hard. The result was that St. John's had a very creditable track team. , At the University of Pennsylvania races last April our relay team composed of Cronin, Hodges, Gore and Tarbert ran against Gallaudet, New York Law School, and University of Western Pennsylvania, and won third place. Winning time, 3.38.' On May 23 we sent our team to the Western Maryland meet at Westminster. In the relay race, Gore ran first, Sinclair second, Ruhl third, and Hodges fourth. Hodges finished first, winning the banner for St. J ohn's. Each of the runners was presented with a gold medal. Walton ran in the 440-yard dash, but was fouled on the first lap and finished fifth. In the mile run, Cronin won third place.

A Jw' S 7 enrzis Tennis had been on the decline at St. John's since the dissolution of Inter-collegiate League, until it was revived from its lethargic condition last year by the formation of a Tennis Club. The management of this club is not under the direction of the Athletic Association, ' yet the final tournament which takes place in June is held under its super- vision. In fact the prizes awarded to the winners of both singles and doubles for the past two years have been S. J. C. Monograms. To this last feature may be accredited the impetus that the sport is now receiving, and We trust that the time is not far distant when this branch of athletics will be taken' Wholly under the protective wings of thc Athletic Association.

I wake with a start. It can't be seven o?clock yet, why it seems as though I had just gone to sleep. Seizing my watch, which is lying on the table near me, I look at the hands g they point to seven. Phew, how cold it is! I will not report for roll-call thismorningg that will mean five demerits. But I am within ten of the limit. I must report. With one long sigh, I leave my warm bed, plunge i11to my uniform, take a hasty splash in the wash-bowl, and in three leaps reach the first floor. Assembly sounds, we fall in and another day of college life has begun., A ' ' Breakfast being first in order, 'we march over to the ,dining hall to satisfy our keen appetites which, by the way, would do credit to a Canadian wolf. Twenty minutes are spent in a vain effort to masticate fragments of an ancient ox, after 'which we perambulate down to Woodward Hall where Turkey explains to us the reasons why an apple falls to the ground lnstead of rising to the sky, or why a truck horse is of more value than a pony though he never quite convinces us of the latter fact. q , Presently the hour is up and the reverberating tones of the old bell call us to Chapel. A solo by Mallory Burroughs, accompanied by Draper, puts to flight whatever reverential spirit we may have -been possessed and as a consequence- Tommy soaks us twenty- five demerits for unbecoming levity in Chapel. This is followed by deep groans, where- upon he reports the Sophomore Class for disorder and bestows upon each member ten additional demerits. Finally quiet is restored and the service proceeds., Then, after hearing the adjutant read the doom of some misguided youth who has wandered from the straight and narrow path, we are permitted to depart in peace. Ascending to the third floor of McDowell we find ourselves in the History room. Here we discuss Cromwell's character, Luther's religion, and Henry's wives until the merry tinkle of a little bell on the wall reminds us that we must tear ourselves away from these delightful topics. ' , ' ,158 W ending our way down to the first floor we enter the Latin room where Tommy stands ready to receive our wonderful rendition of Lucretius. In one hand he holds the little red book which we love CD so well, and in the other, an automatic pencil for making Zips. Three quarters of an hour affords ample time for us to impart to him our store of knowledge and then follows a discussion as to whether man will eventually freeze or starve to death. This question does not concern us very deeply for our names will no doubt adorn some cemetery before either event takes place, and besides there is little choice between these two modes of departure. So when we have received our allotment of seventy-five lines for next time, together with the reminder that it is a very short lesson, and the advice to beware of all quadrupeds in connection with Latin, we pass out of the room. Next we go to English, and spend an exciting hour in tracing the language from its cradle up to the present stage. To make it more exciting we read choice bits of Anglo-Saxon verse with e's thrown in where they do the most harm, and then give vent to our feelings by declining oxa. Finally when our nerves are about to give way under the terrible strain, with climbe, clombe, clumben ringing in our ears we seek the Math. room. ' I Within those wal's we wrestle with cosines, tangents and other mysteries - that Wentworth and his contemporaries have devised forthe tortureof succeeding generations. By and by the bell sounds again and we go .to dinner. - After dinner those who have tobacco usually go to their rooms for a quiet smoke, while those who have not, start out to bum it. Pleasant moments pass quickly and before we realize it, two o'clock has come and the bugle calls us to drill. Then for an hour we march around the back campus to the tune of While Old Glory Waves, bearing with meekness all reproaches from the oflicers who never make mistakes, and listening with eager ears for re-call. I With drill, ends our work for the day and-we are at liberty until six o'clock. Some don their football clothes and go out on the gridiron to prepare for a contest with an old rival. A few of the more studious ones begin to bone lessons for the morrow while others lose themselves in the latest popular novel. At six o'clock we assemble once more to sniff the odors of some new dish that the skillful hand of Braxton,.the cook, has prepared. A walk down town or a game of marbles occupies the time from supper until half past seven, and then begins our struggle to Master the Math., Greek, and Chemistry that the Profs in their wisdom have heaped upon us for the coming day. How we wish we could be Profs, for a week and assign lessons to those who pile them on us. . But there is no time for reflection. Just as we are in the midst of the Iliad, taps sound, the lights go out, and another day of college life is ended. I 15. 11 l 0 The 'Tolchester Encampment 1 1 On the first of June, in the year 1903, the college battalion, one hundred and fifty strong, swung down Prince George Street to the inspiring tune of Blaze Away, rendered by Limburger's band 'in their own inimitable style. Arriving at the wharf, the com- paniesiwere dismissed, and the fellows, assuming the most comfortable positions possible, sat down to wait for the boat which was to take us over to Tolchester. While we sat there and inhaled the delicious breeze that blew in from the Chesapeake, we realized for the first time that examinations were really over and we were starting on our annual encampment. Asthe proud steamer Louise came in, shivers of apprehension shook those who never before had dared the Hraginglmain. They might have been spared their fear, for the trip across the bay was a- delightful one. The pleasure of the trip was much enhanced by the presence of several ladies on board, and soon after leaving the dock an informal hop was started on the lower deck., At this hop Bonney,Valk and Cutler distinguished themselves by their gallantry. I w - 160 After a few hours, we came in sight of Tolchester, and all crowded to the bow to get a glimpse of the place which for two weeks was to be our home. As we approached the wharf, we got our first view of the place. Situated on a high bluff was a typical summer resort, and to the left of it, in a large field, were long rows of brown tents which had been set up by the advance guard. - i Upon reaching the wharf, the battalion was formed and marched up to the camp. 'All the excursionists had returned to Baltimore, the Beach was deserted, andin the grow- ing darkness the camp appeared extremely uninviting. After we had been assigned to our respective tents, the Quartermaster gave each man a long sack, and instructed him to fill it with straw from a nearby shed. These sacks, with about enough hay to whet the appetite of ahealthy mule, were to constitute our beds for the coming fortnight. It was a strange sight, to see a long line of fellows, coming from the hay rick, each dragging his bed-behind him. The appearance was similar to that of a cullud gentleman returning after a particularly lucrative- session with the hen coops. The lazy members of the bat- talion were very much in evidence, for many a weary youth returning to his tent found an empty sack instead of the well filled one which he had left there. ' A - At half past ten, the efforts of the boys to adapt themselves to theirbeds began. The oldest campaigner would find it somewhat difficult to keep his head and feet on .a sack five feet long, so picture the dismay of one hundred and fifty youths when thisproblem confronted them. But as needs must when the devil drives, the problem was at last solved by applying the principle of a jack knife. T 1 It seemed that our tired heads had hardly touched the bed before the blare of the bugle was heard calling us out. It was not necessary to dress for roll call, so some of the costumes were extremely primitive. After roll-call, every one went over to the nearby pump for a morning splash, except the lucky chap who could bribe his comrade to bring back a basin of water when he returned from his bath. Then breakfast, and the cleaning, rolling up, and inspection of tents 5 hospital call, and shortly afterward guard mount, when the old guards were relieved and the new ones posted. At half past ten, company drill took place and then followed an intermission till dinner. After dinner, battalion drill was indulged in until everybody was heartily sick of camp life, but it is remarkable how quickly our spirits rose when we were dismissed and the gentle toot of the toy railroad announced that amusement was to be had-for the price. Dress Parade at 6.30, and supper imf mediately afterward ended the day, and, when taps sounded at half past ten, it was a pretty tired lot that tumbled into bed to spend the night in peaceful snoring. So much for the work in camp. -There was pleasure too-ah! such pleasure. How often we strolled through the grounds of Tolchester, attracted hither and thither by the harmonious screeching of various steam' pianos, calliopes, or brass bands. Some, yielding to the charms of Terpsichore, entered the dancing hall, and, accosting some fair maiden, 161 Tolchester, June 1, 1911 162 were soon waltzing around the room, struggling heroically to master the Boston Dip. A O, that dance hall! In it was spent almost all the time at our disposal, and few were the girls who were able to resist the blandishments of the St. J ohn's Cadets. Then there was the merry-go-round, where we spent hours in a fruitless effort to cap- ture the brass ring which entitled the happy possessor 'to a free ride. Nor should we for- get Pike's Peak, where it is the custom for the girls to scream as they go through the tunnel, emerging from it flushed, with a painfully unconcerned youth beside them. Many amusing incidents occurred while we were in camp. One night the corporal of the guard was called forth by a sentry. Arriving on thescene, he found this valiant soldier peering around a tent, and inquired what the trouble was. I thought I heard a flap flop, replied the sentry, whereupon he received a gentle reminder not to call out the corporal again unless there was sufficient reason for it, and that ruffled oflicer retired to the guard tent. The unfortunate sentry hadlittle peace from that time on, for the fellows were con- tinually asking him if he had heard any more flap flops. A While the battalion was in camp, a great rivalry sprang up between Companies A and B. Every day the members of the two companies would stand in their respective streets and kid each other about their various faults and short-comings. This rivalry had a good effect, for each company strived to outdo the other in keeping their street clean and their tents iniorder, and, whenever one of A's men was reprimanded for not keeping his tent neat, Company B would go into spasms of joy. - , One morning we were all aroused-by the cry, Look at Sherwood, and hastening from our tents, we beheld that illustrious youth clad in a most amazing sweater and re- sembling nothing so much as a big brown bear. Perceiving nothing extraordinary about this, we inquired what the -row' was and the originator of the excitement gasped, amid shrieks of laughter, Doesn't he look like a booby owl? The name clung to him and since then Sherwood has rejoiced in the pseudonym of Booby. One night a sentry challenged three men who were approaching- the lines, and de- manded to know who went there. To his amazement and vexation the replies came back one by one, Pike's Peak man, a Three balls for five cent man, i 'f Hula Zula man. Thinking he was the victim of a practical joke, he called the corporal of the guard, who found that themen were the proprietors of the amusement places which they had named. What with swimming, drilling, and sleeping the days passed by until the last Satur- day, when we were to have a sham battle. I want to be a military man. O for the pleasure of carrying a ten-pound gun around a field on a hot June day, running, charging, and blazing away at the elusive enemy. Nay, nay, I would prefer to sit in the shade and watch it. On Sunday we had a joyous loaf, with no drills to interrupt. All the Pucks, Judges, Black Cats, and Tip Top Weekliesn were brought out and the fellows settled themselves to spend a pleasant afternoon. After a while they began to grow drowsy, and, one by one, fell into the arms of Morpheus. During this period of somnolence, 163 some mischievous fellow with a bountiful supply of burnt cork made a tour of the camp decorating the face of every unfortunate that he found asleep So great were the changes he Wrought, that many a cadet, Waking from his peaceful slumbers, failed to recognize himself until much soap and water had been used. On Monday morning, We broke camp,-and that night We were back again within the Walls of old Pinkney. The whole encampment was very pleasant and instructive. There was not a single case of sickness to mar the pleasure, and the cadets obtained much use- ful knowledge of camp life. The faculty has accepted the invitation of the Tolchester Company to return this year. , 5 , 161 Skirmish Drill T-:EC--JZ.-Mfr: ,-.i-A Reminiscences -- As one wanders through the Halls, passing from room to room, he seeson every hand pencil-marked walls, scratched panes and carved desks that recall to his mind many of the famous classes and more or less prominent characters of St. John's in former days. The desks in the Math and Greek rooms being the oldest are naturally the most highly dec- orated. On nearly every one of them may be seen the three initials of some hero, followed by two numerals representing the year in which he hoped to receive the coveted sheep- skin from his honored College. Many of the carvers of these initials have left college long enough to achieve success in the different walks of .life and their Alma Mater is proud to claim them as her sons. Some of the initials have been cut away, while others stand out in bold relief. They seem to say to the student of today This spot is'sacred, and he leaves it untouched. p I One, of the boldest. type and in a very prominent place, is Buck I. '94 of football fame. He was captain and halfback of our '93 team and the greatest ground gainer and squirmer from under great piles of players St. John's has ever had. VB. P. next catches our eye.

His ancestors had come over in the wake of the Mayflower, he felt their aristocratic blood in his veins, and though a little fish, yet, being a Bostonian, he talked like a whale. He looked with satisfaction upon that bay of which the Atlantic is but an adjacent puddle, and upon the cape, which, like an arm of the continent, reaches out to embrace the sea, for, thought he, these bear the name of my distinguished family. Surely there is significance in my heredity and environment. Surely evolution gives me promise of a noble destiny. l 4 ' ' V So saying, he turned his attention to a dainty breakfast that came before him as if by Parisian magic, for even sons of the blue-stockings sometimes condescend to the gross animal custom of taking nourishment. Suddenly, to h'is speechless amazement, he found himself dangling from the end of a string and rising to face a sunburnt fisherman in his boat. Once aboard, he was thrown with a goodly company of his old friends and relations who also had recen-tly breakfasted. Although his pride was not insensible to the honor of being thus much sought after, yet that morning's breakfast was but the beginning of hardships, of cruel indignity at thehands of barbarians,,of life in cramped quarters with miserable accommodations, of weary journeys into strange lands, far, far from home. A Passing over, in pity, the shocking details of his treatment for many months,.let it suffice to say that at length he found himself rolled together and tied up in a snug but rather uncomfortable package on the shelf of an Annapolis grocery store. There he sat, year after year,looking out from under his burden of dust, and regarding with melancholy interest the colonial life about him. In the course of his half-century of observation he saw at least a half-dozen new buildings erected in the picturesque city of Anne Arundel, saw one local spinster get married, sawla St. John's student who never frenched, nor skipped, nor gouged, nor got a zip, saw Rasin make the rise in all his classes, saw Duvall survive his period of probation, and Smith get off the Black-List. It chanced one evening recently that Mr. Grant, our matron, stood upon the west porch of the Dining-Hall, solitary and absorbed in thought. Then raising his head and fixing one eye on College Creek and the other on the moon, he thus solilo quized:- My .1717 U g Extract from a .Ypecclz of M. L. B.

N They searched the shed from roof to- sill, Nor did they leave the place until The last barrel they were taking. Grabbing their burdens, away they go, A long procession, all in a row, Each with some fuel to bestow Onthe fire they' would soon be making. The leader arrived with his load of trash, Boxes and paper, an old window sash. s He threw them down on the ground with a crash While words of praise were spoken. Pile up the barrels, he quickly said 5 The boXes next, and then the bed, And give me a match that's got a head, For this darn thing is broken. A few vain trials and they got a light, And soon the fire was burning bright, The blaze shone out upon the night, Such a bonfire never was seen. The leader then said, Boys, draw near, Now altogether, we'll give one cheer For the grand old class we love so dear, r And one for Hallow-e'en. 175 They gave their cheers and into the night They vanished with a rapid flightg For they saw approaching, by the waning li3Q.t A prof. who was out to catch them. He moved along with a rapid stride, To bag them on the other side , f Of the football field, where he thought they'd hide When they knew he could not watch them. His search was fruitless, they ran around The other side of the college ground, And without making the slightest sound, They slowly approached the halls. Now to leave a building is easy enough, In spite of an ever watchful prof., But you'll always find it rather tough y Getting back within those walls. Our Sophs, however, were 'men of brain, The profs. had chased them again and again, And they?d figured out with the greatest pains, A plan for entering their room. .A ladder reached to the second fioor, They'd used it many a time before, r And a window servedas well as a door, When veiled bythe midnight gloom. They climbed the ladder with ,little noise, And entered the window like college boys, And then began to express their joys, At having escaped their pursuer. , - 'Twas great, -they whispered, 'fthis midnight prank He thought he could catch us, the silly old crank, Guess he's still prowling around that bank, Well, he wont find us, sure. ' I l wcj While thus they were talking the matter o'er, There came a peremptory knock at the door 5. They knew who it was, for they'd heard it before, 'Twas the prof. they had been discussing. Quickly they sought a place to hide, 1 To get in the clothes-press most of them tried, - But there was only room for three inside, So the others were left out fussing. 'I . Open up, a voice from the hallway said 5 Who's out, called Tom from his crowded bed, A professor, don't move as though you were dead But open this- door right quick. After endless trouble Tom found the latch, The door swung open and, with a scratch, The professor, entering, struck a match, And gave a shoe a kick. The shoe from under the bed stuck out, . There were numerous other shoes round about, And that they contained feet was beyond a doubt, For they disappeared, though slowly. Who's in this room besides you two? He asked of Tom who, feeling blue, Said, I don't see any one but you. Tom's look was almost holy. - Come from under that bed, the professor cried And out of the clothes-press you there inside, -- Get to your rooms, and there abide Till reveille in the morning. You've had your fun this time all right, But now you're in it pretty tight, The faculty meets tomorrow night, Look out, I give you warning.

The rain drops patter incessantly on the roof, and the Northeast wind howls dismally around the corner. Ever and anon a fitful puff rushes angrily against my window, rattles the sash violently, and finally dies away in a mournful wail. ' if Within all is cheerful. The steam sings merrily through the radiator, and the genial warmth is made more pleasant by the raging storm outside. I draw my chair up near the table, fill my pipe with Maryland Club, and prepare to enjoy a quiet smoke. My pipe smokes exceptionally well tonight, and soon the blue wreaths begin to ascend to the ceiling, and I' begin to dream. W ' My thoughts go back to an old moss-covered mansion in Southern Maryland, where I spent my boyhood days. I seeuits broad chimneys, its slopingroof, and its wide, open fireplace around which the family would gather on a cold winter night, while we children roasted potatoes in the ashes. And when our feast was over, when the last story had been told and the embers were slowly dying, I climbed the stairs to my bed under the eaves, and the moaning wind lulled me to sleep.. A p l I see the old plantation in summer, the fields of grain waving in the gentle breeze, the green orchards sprinkled o'er with pink and white blossoms, and I hear the liquid notes of the mocking bird as he sang so sweetly in his leafy bower. The long lane through which I drove the cows home in the twilight of a summer evenirg stretches before me, and I seem to inhale the delightful odors of the honeysuckle that grew on either side. I see the cabin of Qld Capin Joe, standingalone near the river, and nearby a pile of nets, where I would sit for hours and listen to his tales of storms and shipwrecks. All these things come back to me and I live over those happy days again+days which come but once in our lives. Then I find myself once morein the country school house, where inspired by the desire to go to college, and the master's rod, I began my first struggles with grammar and arithmetic. Gradually the scene changes, and my early college days come back to me 5 days when the word Sophomore struck 'terror to my soul, and when, fired by the ambition to shine among the constellation of great athletes, I ventured forth to try my skill on the football field. I recall the day of the big game, when, after weeks of training and hard practice, I was given a place on the team, and I hear the lusty cheers 180 - I I I X A 1 1 i Q , Q V 15 N Ci , I W W 5 1 181 Autobiography of a Pony ,l,l.l.iLl- I am only a plain, ordinary little twenty-five cent pony. When or how I came into this world of' boys and books, I have not the faintest idea. The earliest recollection I have of my existence goes back to the' days when I stood on a high shelf with many other of my quadruped friends, in a New York bookstore. It was a big place with many long shelves, and over the doors was spelled in broad letters, Hinds dz Noble. I didnot like my home 5 it was too crowded. I longedto get out into the world to see the sights, and to do the work which I felt sure awaited me. So I was very glad when, one day, a clerk took me down from the shelf, wrapped me up in paper, and tossed me in a bag with lots of other ponies who were going out to see this great world. The next time I saw daylight was when a fellow in a gray uniform to whom I had been given by the postman, tore off the paper, looked me over carefully and tossed me on the table. There were many other books on, this table, but they were all strangers to me and I felt rather lonely. Some of them were very shabby and I shuddered at the thought that perhaps some day I would lose my beautiful color and be like them. By and by another fellow came in the room and quickly espied me on the table. He. pickedme up, turned my pages over carefully and, after comparing me fto another book, he said I was a fine pony. I i It pleased- me very much to find that I was making such a good impression, and when I was returned to the table I felt almost as important as the .big dictionary that towered up above me. I 4 . I soon became very popular with the boys and found many warm friends among them, but the Profs seemed to dislike me from the first and I have never been able to gain their friendship. They say all manner of terrible things about me 5 one of them even told my master that he had better throw me away, for I was worse than useless. His advice, however, was not heeded or I had never livedto tell my story. They say I caused my master to flunk. I never knew what that meant, but it must have been something extremely bad, for he was very serious next day and did! not look at me for more than a month. After a time his heart softened and he began to use me again, but I never seemed to stand as high in his affections as before. i T 184 h My life in college has been full of adventure, and many are the exciting tales I could relate if I had the time. I have been lost, borrowed, traded and swiped until I did not know who was my rightful owner. Ihave lain under the bureau amid spiders and dust for weeks at a time. I have been dropped on the floor scores of times, often barely escaping the slop-bucket, and one night I was even thrown at a Tom-cat that was disturb- ing my master's slumbers. g During the day- I lie on the shelf or table, or in a chair, but at night my work begins, and I am often kept out until twelve o'clock. My life is somewhat rugged, but I like the excitement and never have I wished myself back in the big store where I spent my earliest days. 4 , I have been at St. John's now three years and have lost much of my former beauty, though I am by no means worn out. My master left collegelast spring and since that time I have been in a low, dusty room that they call Doc's OfHce. I sometimes fear that I will end my days here, but cherish the hope that some young fellow will find me and restore me to my former life. p A ' I am, V Faithfully yours, A. PONYE.

Jack Abernathy said nothing, so Jarvis continued: If I'd know who has been making trouble for my room-mate I'd raise a disturbance. What can it be-? The old boy is up in his class, has good health, and is doing well generally, so far as I can see. It must belove.. By jove, it's love, I'll' bet a 'dol-lar! Come, Jack, tell us about it. Go to the devil, politely remarked J ack 5 and he started to read the letter a second time. Jarvis, apparently much hurt, puffed stolidly on his bull-dog pipe, remarking between puffs what an utter idiot he had for a room-mate. How soft he was. How- oh, rats! And Jarvis hastily prepared for bed. f J ' ' After reading the letter over a half-dozen times, Jack swore extravagantly and lighted a cigarette to think the matter over... Finally he threw a shoe at Jarvis, who was snoozing placidly, and bade him listen. Jarvis, I've got a hard-luck story to tell you. There is la- little girl up in Hosack who has passed the competitive examination for the name of Mrs. Abernathy. We grew up together and I always thought seriously of her as my own, but I learn that a young genius by the name of Rampart is making himself busy around her home, and this evening I got a cold-storage letter from her. Now, whatl wantlyou to do is to go home with me for Easter and tell her some continued stories with Jack as hero. Understand? I think it -will be O. K. when I get there, but I need a good liar to add color to the thing. Will you do it? 4 I ' ' . Ugh, responded Jarvis, with his head buried in the pillow. V Wake up, old chap. ,Won't you do it? Go to bed, Jack. Don't bother me. ' But, you beastly smug-faced deacon, can't you tell me if you'll do it? What+is it? I'll-do it. Go to bed. - And Jarvis began snoring most reprehensibly. When Easter came, T ack held Jarvis to his promise, although that most estimable younggentleman denied allrecolleotion of having made such a promise. The first night in.Hosack, our two collegians called on Miss Ferguson. It was not a hard matter for Jarvls to engage the young lady's attention, and, very naturally, the conversation turned on Jack, who was then telling Mrs. Ferguson sundrylyarns .concerning his cohege life and tie positions that had been offered him upon graduation. s - Y 1 ' uppose you now my room mate pretty well, don t you, Miss Ferguson ? Oh, yes. We grew up together. X Pretty nice sort of a chap. Indeed? , ies n I Yes.p You see he has roomed with me three years, and 1 happened to catch on to tl1e general trend of his character. It must be fine to room with a fellow who is agreeable to you. Jarvis was beginning to notice Miss Ferguson's eyes. They were deep blue, and they had a most fascinating sparkle. However, he setlout to do his duty. It isn't my .fault that Jack and I get along well together. You see, he is a very popular chap and I'd be afraid to fall out with him. I imagine. , ' Yes. But he furnishes most of the congeniality at our house. Ah, modesty! p - V ' No. It is a common saying that anyone who can't get along with Jack Abernathy needs liver medicine. I Miss Ferguson began to notice J arvis' persistency, and to suspect that a game was being played at her expense. I . . V I suppose Jack is very religious? She knew full well that he was not. A Oh, yesi Served one term as president of fthe Y. M. C. A. ' f'Does he take part in athletics? c ' . Does he! Why, he's our all around-athlete, and he went on to tell how Jack had won the big game of football the year before. V Q p Why, Mr. Jarvis! The papers said you did that. ' . Of course they did. His parents objected to his playing, so he used my name. I don't understand. They often do that. The captain of the team one year played under an assumed name. ' I mean I don't understand why he should do it, and there was a twinkle in her eyes as she said: Mr. Abernathy always wished that Jack would take part in athletics. Jarvis was trapped, but he would notdesert his guns. No, indeed! 'fThen he had his wish. I never asked Jack why he wanted to- use my name, but I supposed that was the reason. I Jarvis was being led gently along, but he suspected nothing. There was a very demure expression on Miss Ferguson's face when she asked: Is Jack very popular 111 social circles? . . u Now, thought Jarvis, I become artistic. Now comes the peroration of this argu- ment. He said, Jack's popular-I might say confidentially that he's too popular to suit me 5 but he doesn't seem to care very much. I'll tell you what I think. I believe he is too fond of some girl that doesn't live near the college. .I .don't know who she IS and he never told me anything, but a fellow is entitled to an opinion. . She seemed to ponder on this bit of information, and soon it was time for our knights to leave. ' V Well, how did you succeed? Oh, about right. I - Did she believe all you told her? Such were theeindicationsf' I , . - The fact of the matter was that the lady in question had. WOVCU the begmmng of 3' very strong web around Jarvis, and he was not inclined to gossip. He wanted to think It over. . Tell us about it. 189 Well you're an athlete who has been playing under the name of Jarvis. You'll have to manufacture a reason for assuming a name, for I told her I didn't know. You have been president of the Y. M. C.,A., you are VCU' POPUIEH' at College' and there 31' 9 3 ' 1 ver you. . . dozeiiaiizllrSgxtiguiecdaaiywiar-dance, and from his ejaculations lt was gathered that he was t' fi d 'th th course Jarvis had pursued. . . . D Sa ISHI mvilght say in passing that you are in love with a mighty attractive little girl. You bet! But I don't allow poaching. Remember that trespass IS strictly pro- hibited. a . , Oh, yes, yes. I haven't put on the ,finishing touches yet, but after next time I think my work will be over. . The next time they called, Miss Ferguson's friend, Miss Dunbar, was visiting her. They had a very pleasantevening, but somehow Jarvis and Miss Ferguson happened to talk with each other quite a little. Jack, however, was not uneasy, for he had faith in his room-mate's intentions. He understood that Jarvis had been polishing his lies and adding grace and effect to the whole story. But when Jarvis bounced into bed that night it was with a mind less clear and free from care. He thought hard, and his thoughts ran something like this: - Jarvis, my poor boy, you are getting in trouble. You're getting entirely too friendly with that little girl, and the first thing you know your pegs will fall from under you. Confound it! If she wouldn't be Jack's girl you could love her with a clear con- science. But, oh, you howling idiot! What did you get in this mess for? Couldn't you find trouble enough at college,' but you must come up here after it? Now see where you are. You may as well admit to yourself that you love that young goddess. But you unutterable wretch, you can't treat Jack that way. If the girl would have any sense, she'd give you an adult's dose of discouragement, but a girl is not supposed to have sense and you don't want -to be discouraged. If you were a boy of mine, I'd tie you up somewhere. Now you keep out of Jack's affairs! Thus he scolded himself and thus, he determined to do the honorable thing. The matter was pretty serious, but after much self-abasement, he began to see it in a different light. He laughed aloud. You indescribable dolt! That girl is making a small boy of you. What a nice thing 1t is to be conceited! Ha, ha ! His laugh was the half-hearted one we use when we see the joke is on us. Imagined the girl was fairly carried away by your manly charms! Oh, my! How shoe would laugh at the thought! ' . After some more of this he thought of Rampart, and his rnerriment became more like real. Where did Rampart come in? The joke was on him, after all. Considering the subject thoroughly threshed out, Jarvis yawned and turned over to sleep. . When they next saw Miss Ferguson, her manner to Jarvis was so gracious that the strong- willed young man's.resolutions disappeared in a whirlwind of tender passions. He forgot Jack- and all his claims for justice, and applied himself to the very serious occupation of exploring the depths of .those eyes. Jack was fidgety and seemed to find Miss Dunbar's attractiveness unattractive. He had eyes only for the very contented lad and la.ssie a short distance from him. If looks had had sufficient potency, Jarvis would have vanished from the face of the earth When the time d ' th lk d h. - . . came-an It came all too soon for Jarvis- 03' W3 9 01116, but they walked in silence. Jarvis again thought harshly of himself and Jack agreed with him in every particular. 190 ,.........-.. ....-.. ,.. 7.74. .. Y K L U Next morning Jarvis got a letter, and acting on impulse, hastened to inform Jack that he must go home. As a matter of fact, the letter expressed only the wish that he was having a pleasant time, ,but a little misunderstanding of the words was easy. Jack tried to be sorry and couldn't. Jarvis left on the noon train. U When they returned to college, Jack said to his room-mate: Jarvis, I've thought it all over and have decided that the proper course is for both to have a free hand. The joke is on me, but it is my own fault, so I vvill take my medicine like a little Dutchman. , But letters from Hosack came to Jarvis laden with balm and myrrh, while the most desirable commodities Jack received from that postoflice were slips from his father's check-book. f-,xv ll -N wg' f- -L 6- --1 gif 1-17:95, gif wine LE05' L if Q Qxl find ' Vxfbqn f4lJ I i,L'1j9 U N J rf Y L15 ,AQ A 1 CX I-I A 4 191 13 i The .fpeakirig Tube l- Among the many improvements that have been made during the past year is the speaking tube which connects the Generals ' room with the kitchen.

Naturally this one saves wear and tear on the steps, besides many trips from second floor to kitchen by the General, and from the kitchen to second floor by Brayton and his corps. Since the General carries but one idea at a time, his feet had to work overtime for the short-comings of his head, and, that you 'may have a slight idea of the trips saved, we give below the first message over the wireless. i I Whistle.-7.30 A.

OLD LADY WILSON, BIDDY CLARK, ARTHUR W. HARRIS, AMOS HUTCHINS, HANK PENNELL, BULL HARRISON, POP WILLING, MOTHER HEARN, PIGGY KEMP, , ELMER PARSLY. This company was Organized for the purpose of making inspections of the different strawberry patches of Anne Arundel County, and, incidentally, to sample the fruit in each one. The inspections take place every week, usually on Saturday afternoons. During the week a delegation usually goes the rounds to see that everything is in order. A few words about the individual members of this company. The captain, Burtis Cooper, was elected to his position because he can eat more strawberries than anyother member, and also because of his appearance, which always commands respect. The lieutenant, Prep. Gosnell, although he is little, is a very able officer, noted for escaping the snares laid by indignant owners of outraged strawberry patches. The whole company is more or less efficient in the mastication of the fruit, and also in the location of patches. It is with one of these weekly rounds of inspection that this story is concerned. One Saturday afternoon in early spring the company was mustered. Roll-call found the captain, lieutenant and four privates present. The rest had.leave of absence to visit their Sweethearts, so of course were excused. , ' The company marched along inspecting each patch as it was passed, until finally they came to the place owned by old man Jones. No one was near, and so fine and luscious were the berries, that they decided to go no further, but to filltheir contribution box Ca bushel basketj, and also themselves, at this place. So everyone jumped Over the fence and began picking strawberries' as if for a wager. Several carriages passed, and the captain questioned the occupants of each as to whether or not they ownedthe patch, but all answered no. So the company got careless, and the sentinel who had been left to watch for teams left his post and joined his companions. Thus it happened that no one saw the conveyance containing old man Jones and his family coming along the road, until it arrived at thepatch. The first intimation of danger was received when a voice was heard shouting, Who gave you permission to git them strawberries. , 194 Of course the members of the little company were much startled, but with remarkable presence of mind one of the privates yelled, We gave a colored man fifty cents for all there are in here. This might have seemed possible if the captain had not foolishly said, It wasn't fifty cents, it was only thirty-five. The old man was much excited and he got out of his carriage fan old mule and broken down daytonj, saying, Don't no nigger own these strawberries. Git out o' here. The members of the band now tried to parley with him, but he said to his son, Go up to the house and git my gun. I'll hold these fellersf' - ' Then the captain decided that discretion was the better part of valor, especially as Mr. Jones had a long, wicked-looking blacksnake whip in his hand, and he 'ordered a retreat. So the company turned and fied precipitately towards the woods, one of them grabbing the basket of strawberries. One fellow was unlucky, enough to 'be caught between the old man and his son. For various reasons his name is not given here, but everyone who has heard this story knows who it was. , The old man went up to this unfortunate hero, and, grabbing him by the collar, demanded to know his name. The young man would not tell him at first, but when the old man said, Well, I will take you before the magistrate-'T then he said his name was Alex. Brown. Of course, this was very wrong, and we would not usually countenance a lie, but under the circumstances it was probably justifiable. y So the old man let Alex. Brown go, and announced that he was going right over to the college to see the head professor, and you may be sure the so-called Brown made tracks. ' , ' The old man showed up at the college next day, but finding no Alex. Brown in the school, he was compelled to go back home, in a very ruffled state of mind. As a fitting end to this narrative, it may be said that the five lucky ones escaped with the basket of strawberries, and all six of them had a feast that night which well repaid them for their adventure. ww 195 ff J9 Dairy of Buck's ,.Hliments .1l-- I I r ST. iJOHN'S COLLEGE, January 1, 1904. I, Buck, wishing to know how many times I shall get .sick and what maladies shall attack me, intend to keep a rigid account of my various ailments until Feb. 1, 1904, if none of them compel me to pass in my .checks before that time. So here goes: JANUARY 2.-Today I had a severe attack of megalocardia and could secure relief only by taking a pint of Wilson's Best. A JANUARY 3.-About 11 o'clock, p. m., I had a severe pain between the first and second ribs. Not knowing what to make of it, I resolved to experiment with a dose of magnesia, and, in the dark, picked up the bottle and swallowed a good-sized mouthful. The pain left immediately. The next morning I found a black spot on my cheek and investigating its cause discovered that I had swallowed one-third of a bottle of shoe- polish instead of magnesia. . JANUARY 6.-While seated at the breakfast table, I was seized with such awful cramps that I could not rise until I had taken six glasses of milk. JANUARY 10.-Was affected by general debility, which was likely to end my earthly career, but Tommy's pills brought me through all right, all right, all right. JANUARY 11.-Hadn't moneyenough to get anything to get sick on. JANUARY 12.-Had tonsilitis in a malignant form until the doctor stuck a butcher's -knife -down my throat, which put an end to the sore throat, and almost to me. JANUARY lo.-About 2 o'clock in the 'morning I dreamed a funny dream and could not understand it, until I tried to get up , when I discovered that cerebro-spinal-meningitis had entered my system. Consequently I had to skip all classes that day. The attack was temporary, and had disappeared by baseball time. 'X JANUARY 16, 18, 20.-Couldn't find a fashionable disease for each of these days so Idecided not to be sick. JANUARY '21.-Upon waking in the morning, I felt very dull and -found that I had another blood-clot on my brain. Could not go to chapel. ' JANUARY 23.-Oh, fudge! What is the use of doing this any longer? It is too much trouble and I am so tired. .

' , The fish had not been bitingtvery well and I determined to move farther. up stream. I clambered across the nearby fence and proceeded along the bank. Imagine my.sur- prise to find another fisherman, sitting on a rock, smoking an old corn cob, and waiting patiently for the welcome tug on his line. . A . .W Hello! said I. Fishing, are you? What luck? He1lo! he answered. Yes, to your first question, and to the second I must say -only fairly. I Y , - After this we engaged in a general conversation,when I learned that his name was Mr. Father and that he owned the farm of which the field extending down to the stream formed a part. As I enjoyed his conversation Iasked himto give me a description of his farm and its workings. This he promised with becoming modesty and I think it best to give the account in his own words :- ' I . Y I - I have lived here for at number of years, and feel quite attached to the old place. Under my direction the farm has been divided into five fields, four of which lie on one. side of that hill -pointing over toward the East-'fwhile the other is down beyond. Those on this side are rectangular in shape and of equal size, each one containing about one hundred acres. The fifth is somewhat larger than the others. I shall begin with this one and give a description of each. Do you see that small house down there in the left-hand corner? Well, that is where the Parson lives. He can be heard shouting, singing, and delivering sermons at all hours of the night. A rather peculiar circumstance -is that Fox Hall, the greatest sport of our community, dwells with him. We cannot imagine how they agree with each other, the one with his. beads and prayerbook, the other with his canes, high hats and patent leather shoes. The right end of the field is aretreat for quails. The Bob Whites are there in great numbers and offer a great temptation to visitors in this neighborhood. All attempts at gunning, however, are punished to the full extent of the law, for I am proud of my little friends and their rights shall be respected. , f'What is that object on top of the hill, I- asked. That is an old Binder, It has long been out of use. Up in that tall tree over on the right lives a large old Owl, who often makes the nights hideous with his hootings. ' -H ' ' In the second field we find a greater variety of objects. - The first is the Cow Punch, who hails from Nebraska and presents an ideal of that class of mortals. He is quite popular among the gentry, but thinks just a little too much of Punch. You need not be alarmed when I say that a Jew dwells in the neighborhood,-Yes, that Creeper is very I 212 I pretty, but it is not Virginia Creeper. This came from New York, and I have never seen. any other like it. Down in the corner above the quails' nest lives a Smith. His. is a useful trade, and to meet the demands made on him he has purchased an automatic bellow, by which he is enabled to keep his fire hot continually. All that is necessary is a winding up in the morning. ' I live in the third field. To the right of my house the Pokeiyj weeds have full sway and useless is any attempt to devote the land to a more prontable use. Some time ago my hens began to disappear quite rapidly, and after some searching Idis- covered a Fox den not far away. I have laid all kinds of traps, but sly old Reynard is too wary to be caught. Over there is my pig-sty. At present it contains but one occu- pant. This Piggie came from the Eastern shore and bids fair to be a fine porker by butchering time. In my garden I have an acre of Parsley. It is nicely headed, stands well, and looks very promising. e e A ' I But let us continue to the next iield. I had anexcellent growth of Hops in it, but a mischievous Bull broke into it and almost ruined themg -then a dense growth of Jimson weed sprang up. I fear they have wrought sad havoc with the Hops. - I cannot show you the other field, for it is rather. dangerous for a stranger to venture within its limits. There is another vicious Bull in there and he would surely Gore you. Three men once went in there to hunt and all that remains of them now is a pile of Bones. But here comes my boy Ned: I have talked away the whole afternoon and now must go home to supper. A With these words Mr. Father, in spite of my request not to be in a hurry, shouldered his rod, and, with a hurried good bye, started for home! I made my way to my boarding house, and next day I went to have another talk with him, but he was gone, and never since have I been able to find him. L ' y l j Ya It 1',?S -cx X , h? '.

For long weeks we havetoiled to produce a book that would stand asa picture of St. John's, and a memorial to the clas f 1905 V s o . We have worked when we should have been sleeping, and slept when we should have been working- the editor has worried his a ' t t ' 'H ' ' ' g ssis an s and the ,assistants have worried him until, together, they have succeeded in publishing a RAT-TAT 'Within its covers are man th' . . y mgs interesting only to the students, and doubtless some things. that are of no interest to any one. Even now as we lan b k ' A ' g ce ac over these pages we see many improvements that might be made, and we long for one more trial. But the time -has passed, and there dawns upon us the truth 'of Whittier's immortal lines,- , Of all sad words of tongue or pen, H . - The saddest are these: It might have been. n In the short space that yet remains we wish to thank most heartily those persons who have contributed to whatever of success this book ma have attain , y ed. ,To the following artists we are indebted for the illustrations found herein: Miss Sicely M. Wilson, Gertrude Meyer, Beulah M. Spring, Les1ie.Woo'ds, Mary Tower, Miss Johnson, Messrs. Walter R. Gale, Charles H. McNabb, J. F. Linthicum, H. A. Taylor, Dick Clarke and Guy Neff. s l And now it is late-very late. The town is wrapped in slumber, and no sound. save the monotonous tick-tack, tick-tack of the old clock on the wall disturbs the sombre silence of Pinkney. One by one the writers have. fallen into the arms of Morpheus, until the editor is left alone. The Muse has deserted him. His paper becomes blurred as the light grows dimmer and dimmer, and the pen drops from his weary fingers9he has fallen asleep. A non i.,-. f.,..gg-.fqsxf X.
