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

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! Gosh, l could sleep all day and never miss rt. -mg 49

M, - h' A. ..t- -. -'-it FPC but he is considered one of the members of the rtnouned toxin bunth like all' he rest of them, Davy is a good student and a hard worker CFB. He is one of l7uckie's standbys in analytics, and also has a fondness for Adolf and the Dutch, His strongest point is his love for the fairer sex and the terpsichorean art. Never :1 hop passes by, but that Davy's stalwart form is seen swaying to and fro to the sweet strains of music, while some fair one gazes enrap- tured into his eyes. George is very fond of the Army, and is going to enter it this spring, and later he expects to settle down on Prince George Street. Annapolis, to spend the rest of his life. He always believes that the best way-the most convincing way- to prove ones capability is by actions, not words. Such a man will be found at the top, because he deserves to be there. NVe wish him every success. K . KV W3 3. . V-.A 51
