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

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

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
