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!

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

Motto: Tn fimouizi fo .wnicll1iz1g. ES, Shorty has done it. What? Why confirmed his Freshman year speculation that as soon as he eould get kind 'o used to his new domicile and stop looking up at the 3 high buildings and walk on the hard pavements without getting sore feet, he'd start right out and show us what he's made of, And boys, he has! Right! He kids them all. Girls are just girls 'with VValter, and no more, but with them he is a tangible objectification of some long remembered dream. Desired by all, he ruthlessly brushes them aside, showing partiality for but one. 'Who? Her name is -----, but l'd better not tell. More than one might, claim the distinction, you know. Just as the same sweet fragrance, the same bright color lures bee after bee to a beautiful Hower so Walter's smile, his win- some manner, his cute little manly appearance serves him. And basket ball! Wow! Shorty's long suit. Chewing gum and score book, contracts, guarantees, rules, Eastern trips and trips South, girls, and yes, Relay Station on Penn. Ave., Baltimore, din- ners, theatre parties, but I can never get it all straightened out. Somehow NValter did. No sir, you lose your bet. He does play baseball and well. But he's a copyist at that. You know how old Dcmosthenes atc pebbles? Well, Walter ate coal cinders once. Why? Oh, just to keep the crows from hearing him, but they did, I reckon. Seriously, we all like Walter for his good nature, his student, ability, his athletic accomplishments, and--for his just being Walter. May he sip long and deep from the cup of happiness and success. Ach! Spaghetti! 50
