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

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

1918 ROBERTSON BOWIE MAGRUDER, HBobn, uMac!1 BAl.'I'lMORE, Mn. Scicizlific. Ktippa Alpha F1'atc'ra1i!y. Rat-Tat Board C35 3 Philomathean Lit- erary Society Cz, 355 Corporal Co. A Motto: .S'1udcnts may some and stu- dents -may go, lm! Mac .trays lzcre for- t i't'1'. 1-llS vet of St. john's hails from the metropolis of Maryland and entered college some- G where back in the middle ages. To mention studies with Mac is like pouring oil on water, they simply don't mix, and there is no use in talking about them. If you should tell him that he was unsatisfactory in Math. with a 2.00 for the term, he would simply light another Fatima and continue to peruse his favorite magazine. But if you said a hair was disarranged you would cause him much concern. He has a map by which eachhair lies in its accustomed place, and if you don't believe this, just enter hisitroom at any time and you will find him standing before the mirror either admiring his noble features and thinking of the many girls' hearts he is going to break, or by the aid of a ruler and compass putting each hair in its proper place. Mac is a football player of great form-mostly all form. just get him started and if you don't'know him as well as we do, he will make you believe he's another Oliphant. Ah, but Bob is also rt lover of the ladies, and each hop sees him dragging some fait' damsel. NVith his dark eyes, olive complexion, apd graceful dancing, we could not expect him to be other than a usser. ' Mac is a hard one to learn, but when you do know him, you will surely like him. Those of us who know him real well have been more than rewarded for our trouble in getting acquainted. Eclitor's Note.-We were told to hit 'em hard, and haven't l done it? Don't mind this, Bob, 100 '
