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

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

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
