HILE the presidency of the G. O. H. was still in existence, there appeared upon the St John's campus a till lanky youth who soon became the worthy oblect of atten- tion to the holder of that office It was not long before this slick individual soon learned the tricks of the trade and Sam Freeny's cupboard soon became his haven ' in time of trouble. ' However, during this year Pris made quite a record for himself in scholastic work. Since then he has been on a sliding Scale with the arrow pointing downward until now he is a member of Ducky's veteran class. In his first year he had neither athletic ambition nor desire. The next year he showed he had the old St. Iohn's spirit and went out for track, and since then he has been a loyal supporter of all athletic teams. . Early in his sophomoreiyear he was the main factor in the organ- ization of the firm of Maddox, Storm and Jarman, manufacturers of DOGS and HEADACHES. From this time forth he has shown marked ability in other business endeavors, culminating his career by well esteemed service as Business Manager of The Collegian. Pris is a shining star in all social circles. The ladies are his long suit. A serious crimp was put in his hopes for a trip to Sudlcrs- ville when a two-thirty return from a pass caused John Storm and our hero one month's confinement in Annapolis. Ou the whole, however, Pris has only to continue his traits of St. John's days to insure him a happy and successful hereafter, which is the earnest wish of his class. 57

l l9l7 JOSEPH PIERCE JEWELL, Pee-Wee Annapolis, Mel. l.z1ti11-.S't'ic11fiHc. Philomathean Literary Society Q3. 4ij junior Rifle Club CI, 2, 353 Marksman fjlj Art Editor Rat-'I'at t3Dg Senior Rifle Club C4J. Able! 9, Molto: 'Vu11'rfe get to show me. EE-WEE is a little particle of humanity which is more. or less prominent on and about Senior floor, also downtown, where its domicile is located. He is, among other iffzigqirgi things,.an ardent and persistent linguist, especially in the way of arguing. No matter f.f3.221.x1?-3 what side of any question is favored, when Pee-Wee appears, he always takes the opposing side, however far from plausible it may seem, The only thing the matter with his vociferafion lis thatlwhenever he reaches an effective climax he-oh-er-h-h--hesitates a-ng- y-o 1-er- ittle bit. .h lf you wish elucidation on the subject of historical facts connected with St. John's, go and ask Pee-Wee. He has a good memory for the ages past. He laid the cornerstone of Pinlmey, and was a good friendof Francis Scott Key. His only regret is that he forgot the planting of the Liberty Tree. Doug Thompson and Harry An- drew say they remember distinctly that Pee-VVee and Metliuselah used to shoot marbles in front of the White House on Fifth Avenue in Eastport. Poor Pee-Wee, we are afraid that we are creating the impression of not giving the devil his due. But we can't help it, Pee-Wee likes to be kidded so much. Although he has had a little tough luck in some departments, Pee- Wee is not by any means slow of comprehension. He used to shine in history, economics and Bob White's Latin. Irle is an ardent rooter whenever a St. John's team plays, a good Philomathean, a conscientious clriller, and has that stick-to-it-ive- ness that always means final success. 56

Do what is 1'1'gl1.t. N this short space we will try to tell the good and bad traits of Ouston. - Ouston came to us three years ago, and a regular Eastern Slioreinanf' but hy Q,g,K,G the undauntecl efforts of the fellows' he has at last become civilized.. ifxfxfxfv After he had been at St. J'ohn's a httle wlnle he saw the fellows going down to the gym, in what he thought were swimming suits, but he afterwards found out that the fellows were doing track work, so Ouston thoughhe could run, and went down. As luck was with him he turned out to be one of the fastest men in college. This year when the track team needed a captain and no one else would take the job Ouston was elected by a unanimous vote. His great ability was recognized by making him manager also. They thought that with such a man at the head a coach was useless, so Ouston is captain, manager, coach and everything but the track itself. ln the military department his great ability was not recognized until the latter part of last year when he was made a corporal, but this year he has become a distinguished lieutenant of ll Company. Ouston likes military so well that he enlisted in the Machine Gun Company of the First Maryland, and spent the whole summer on the Mexican border. X Ouston's ever ready humor and generosity have won him many true friends. and all of us wish hun the greatest success that is possi- ble' in lns l1fe's work.
