He is a typical mountaineer with plenty of ability and energy, as has since been proven by his :5,:,f,3,:: activities along academic and athletic lines. Indeed, his energy has been so great '55-i? '5 that athletics and class work cannot suppress the animal spirit that tills his swell- ing bosomg and he has to rid himself of the excess by means of continual rough-house. He has become so obstreperous that all Pinkney Hall has banded itself against his boasted powers. If his disturbances don't bring his college life to an untimely end, we expect him to become one of St. Iohn's most prominent athletes. VVatsy's first step in college education was to join Ding'bat Priee's joyous Society of Harmonious Discordsf' I-le succeeded so well in this society, that he drove his roommate to change his . room. This year he joined Existenee's McDowell Hall Noise Makers, and pesters everybody with his sickly attempts to get music out of a very screechy fiddle. Since his society received new instruments of torture, NVatsy has taken it upon himself to master the whys and wherefores of a Cornet. VVhen he becomes proficient on this instrument you may well expect him to try to a play a fiddle, a trom- bone, and a cornet at one time.

' Time, I dare you to discover Such a youth and such a lover. ADIES and gentlemen, this as yet unclassed specimen is the only one of its kind in captivity. lt's natural habitat is in the dense jungles of evergreen on the Eastern ,.,,,w,., Shore, but is occasionally found as far west as Annapolis. ifiaiaiii Wig is a jolly good fellow, full of life and fun, always ready to laugh or cheer up some down-hearted comrade. His great delight is to be upon the athletic field each day to help the team in any possible way. Like all other fellows from the Eastern Shore, he has been afflicted with fair sexitisf' His numerous pilgrimages to Baltimore have been the subject of much speculation, therefore need no explanation. By his classmates he is known as a confirmed fusser but by the fair sex a regular divil. lle thinkslit is a sin to stag to a hop, and on each occasion he appears on the scene with' s,ome,queen whose attractiveness Junior floor has learned a week or more previously. Wig is the chief trumpeter of the cadet corps and has held this responsible position for the past two years. ln his studies he is a 'lsliining star, which is clue to the consumption of much midnight oi . The thoroughness with which he executes his present military duties leads us to believe that later he desires to join the personnel of the commissioned officers in the United Stats Army, but what- ever walk of life he pursues. Wig will make a success. 114
