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

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

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
