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

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

Motto: lust us you are pleased at W ' Ending fault, 1 X You are di.rfvlru.rud at finding f76'l'fL'CfItHl.U Savatu. NCE upon a time amidst the wilds of St. Mary's County, there roamed a man whose dreams and aspirations were of higher things. This man was Matty ami lo live out his ideal, he came to St. John's where he found a cordial welcome. H - We have often wondered as to the origin of that serenity which Matty always displays. You will never find him unduly elated or cast down. I-Iis conscience never gets up after taps to annoy him. He always likes to get in an argument Of SOIUC li111d,-and If lille other fellow refuses to take the opposite side he will take it himself and so start things going. Matty is a rose of the old regime, to use the expression of the Bcntztown Bard, for he has been around here long enough to write a good history of St. John's in ye olden days. His stay traces back to the time when hazing was an uncensored pastime, and when mous- taches and beards were worn by the students. But he has adv?-11CCf1 considerably in this time-showing the marvelous effect of St. Iohn's on a country boy. And Matty loves his bed as no one else does. Reveille and mess call mean nothing to him in the morning, and as a result many Maddox absent 'breakfast' reports are read out in the chapel. Never mind Matty, there are many iuore in the same boat as you.. But with faults forgotten Matty is a typical true St. ,l0lll1 S 1111111 May sucess be his! 99
