Go broke, and the 'world Ifmglis at you, l-IE Soul of Wit and Witticism. This roaring desperado hails from Eastport, and is surely a typical representative of that fascinating burg. . - 5,4,4,4,1 This Eastporter possesses an enviable trait that is denied so many of us, viz., wit- sisfsfvl not satirical, but brilliant and scintillating. This quality makes him a very popular filloiwnso Egger always has an audience wherever he goes, ready to laugh at his jokes of a in s. .While he has been with us, he has made it a point to bring all the new slang phrases, until now every one relics on him in this capacity entirely, and goodness knows we sure wouldisutfer in proficiency in this line if it were not for him, but with his valuable aid, few institutions of learning surpass us in this respect. Egger is a baseball player, and when the SCZISOU rolls around, he casts fond looks at his books, and tells them to rest easy until base- ball is over. Although in the beginning' we said Egger was rather wild. still one often detects tlashes of genius, and we all predict that this illus- trious son of Eastport will in time make his small village very proud of him, and feel sure that he will some day place its name on the map m his capacity as Mayor of Eastport. 97

FTER a brilliant t?J career at City College. a slow, lumbering, fat and brawuy per- sonage first east foot upon the College green and the haughty Sophs began to won- ? der if this mass of material could be moulded into an S. J. C. Graduate, A. li., ll. S., C. O. D. After viewing the situation thoroughly it was linally decided to keep him. But the W0t'st of it was two classes claimed him. He was eleven hours back of being a full-lledged Sophomore, and eleven hours ahead of being an untledged lfreshman. 'l'he Sophs won out though-he was a Freshman. A year later, however, the class did not seem to appreciate its tough luck, and elected Bill editor-in-chief of the RM'-'li'.tx'1', and then the real surprise occurred, for Bill started to show unex- pected energy, and more unexpected brains. He surrounded himself with pictures, writerups, and every kind of RAT-'l.'AT literature. 'l'he other classes looked on'With amazement and jealousy: the juniors calmly predicted that their RxX'1'-'l1A'l' would be the best ever. You. gentle reader, may see his masterpiece and judge. Unless it is very good, then if the truth must be admitted, it is not worthy of its editor. Besides working on the RAT-'.lxA'1 , and writing home CSpick's homej, Hill plays the bass horn in l'leine's band of music tor- tures. Some of the most lugubrious. pathetic, screcchy, cateallie, cloleful, discordant tones are heard when he coerces hot air'l into that innocent instrument. . However, in his three years, stay here, we think that we have accomplished making a true St. John's man. Bill has aggressive qualities, which are bound to help him win success on this small speck of the solar system. His corpulent and unrazored physiognomy will augment his latent and dormant qualities. 96 ,

You see, in his estimation, theres 'no place t,hat,ca.n ,x,x,,.,: compare with the home of the Georgia Peaches Cnot to mention Craclcers 114 Ihls 3142424 is a great State for ball players, or so it seems, and if you. dont believe it ask Con- nie. I-le has held down short on the second team in a sensational CU millmfff for UV0 years, 'but everyone pitied T. N. while he was there, although in size at least, he seemed made for the job. , . Connie in all his time here has had nothing' to do' with the fair , ones of Crabtown, but his limited C?1, correspondence points out 11 solution to the problem. Besides, he is manager of football for next year, and has been trying hard to arrange a trip to the far South, preferably Florida. Why? Well, no one knows, but that is the State, fronrwlmose capital, most of his correspondence comes. But, putting all joking aside, Connie is one of the biggest men in his class, although you might not believe it at first glance. In his Q college life all he has done, he has done well, so our whole class wishes Connie the greatest success in his chosen' walk in life, and we feel that he will do us credit wherever that walk may lead him. 98
