It has been three rounds of constant fighting and -- HY' plugging. VVith only one more round before them, with pleasant remembrances of the past, and with that same love for noble Kadim a St. john's which has moved more than one man to action, they still continue to push on toward that goal called Victory. To write a history of such a class is a difhcult proposition, since it is a continuous series of achievements and successes. The arrival of this Junior Class of today in the fall of 1914 was a quiet one, since all forms of hazing had been obliterated. However, since the Royal Persuader was abolished several receptions were given in our honor in Pinkney Hall, to which we were invited, and at which meetings we were gently reminded of the rules and traditions of St. john's that must be obeyed. These we obeyed throughout the year, and thus when our Sophomore year came We were able to give this little advice to our younger brethren at College. But our nume1'ous activities as Freshmen must not be overlooked. In athletics Turner, Maddox, W. J., Holmes, Nathan and Gardner were on the football squad, Turner starring as fullback on the first team and winning a place on the All-Maryland team that year. Tucker, in baseball, played on the first nine, while Wilson, Wigton and Mack made the second team. In track, Holmes showed considerable prowess, being on the relay team and the 440-yard runner. In academic work also our class upheld its reputation, a goodly number of the men getting on the honor roll each month. L. Hall carried off high honors in this line, with W. E. Mack second. 119
