ERE is presented to-us a combination of a singerg a mouth-organist and il su11er-1nil- - nary man. liarly in the fall of 1914 the sophomore class altvakeued lum to the fact that he had latent talent as a singer, and he has been singing. ever since. Yodeliug is his specialty, and this, accompanied by the clulcet t??3 strains of a mouth organ. has become the daily musical recital of Senior Floor. When he first took his abode among us Cfor better or for--worse3 he was very shy and the fair sex had no special attraction for him. But after receiving some Western Shore eivil- ization, he has 'become a fusser of renown, and boasts of the fact that he has one for each and every night in the week. He and his worthy colleague Pris having been duly elected Busi- ness Managers of the Collegian, proceeded to corner the market in Colonial tickets until their chief, Mase found it out, then the game was ott. lint l must tell you, before I forget. this man is a military man from his head to his toes. and due to this fact, his chest expansion has in- creased. He would rather drill a company than cat ice cream, and nobody envies him. Last year he won the medal for neatness, and intends to send it to the National Museum as an example of his prowess. a la Teddy Roosevelt. Marion intends to enter the service, and we predict for hint a sue- cessful career, and also that he will have a fair damsel in his fold two years hence. 48

HOUGII Dick came from lX'l. S. C. he has become a true and noble St. John man. Although,he arrived during the second term, l1c soon caught up with his class, and P WH when spring rolled around, he, with 'many others, went out to tight for a position Qgffftjg on the baseball team and while he didn't play regularly. he made all the trips and caught most of the games. .On lfriday nights or Saturday afternoons, when sweet strains are heard in the gvm- nastunt, it is always a safe bet that Dick will he somewhere on the iloor, and never alone 'hut it has been a general mystery where to find him on other Friday, ' 5allll'fl2lY. and especially Sunday nights. Where 'bouts. Dick? 1 Last spring a great movement was started, and Dick was one of the last, but not least, to join, in what he thought would be a good deal of fun. some work, and a fine experience. He admits he got the work and a grand experience, hut as for pleasure, well, it couldn't' be-found. The next time a machine gun company is formed, we don't tlnnk Dick's name will be found on the roll, as one can never tell whether it will be two weeks in Kentucky. or four months of service m the fgrandn and cool land along the border. Looking into the coming years. we all feel sure that Dick will make a great success as he is well liked by all those who know him. Our .Alma Mater will have good reason to be proud of him, as well HS wishing him the best of luck in life and marriage. 47

Nez'er.' What ' are girls for anyhow? E have with us now a speciment of a Pennsylvania Cno not Dutehman5, but Pennsyl- vania Nobleman, said specimen measuring somewhere over and above six feet, ' ,'-, weighing' around 180, and topped by one of those hot weather sunset heads, perfect QSQQSQQ in color, and showing up better in the dark. ' Crummie's correspondence course is the largest and lllost complete on Senior Floor, and probably in the college. He gets more letters than the whole Hoor combined, and when it comes to writing them-well-he's there. The only day he doesn't get a letter is Sunday Cand of course we have no delivery on that day.5 He cer- tainly seems to have something on sailors and traveling salesmen. when it comes to having a girl in every town, because he has no less than two and sometimes more, and if there's a hospital in the town it suits him much better, for he seems to have a tendency toward them. You understand, don't you. And still he is afraid of spoil- ing his good repf' But all in all, we have a good fellow, and then some, willing to help in any way, and liked by all. He says he is going to study law, and he will surely make good, 'but, honestly, he would do better as :1 surgeon. H I-ley, 'Crummief there goes Reveille! Gonna sleep all -day?:: Um, Yum-I-lo-Hum!
