B t4Dg Rat-Tat Board C35 Motto: To bc tl 'Billy Suna'uy' 121-4111- gclistf' I love arguments, Arguments are line! For men of brains like mine. ...ni CRUTINIZE this countenance carefully, for it is that of SpiCk, 1111? Parson- WIIOSC name is on every tongue. This celebrity is well fitted for any position that requires ,.,,.,.,-4... the art of talking. He has mastered this so thoroughly that he can talk almost an LESS?-23: hour on nothing. 1-lis favorite stunt is to start a bum argument with the lXlonarch of Senior Floor, and it is needless to say that Spick always comes out with flying colors. Reds came to us three years ago, and deceived all of us. At a first glimpse of him we concluded that we at last had a typical rough neck in our midst. But he electrified us the first morning by leading the singing in Chapel. He has been a Martin Luther to St. John's College, and his reforms are evident. I-le claims that Galley Wilson's improvement is due to his activities. The people of West Annapolis recognized Spick's ability, and called him as their parson. He must have succeeded very well, for now they call him Doctor. Spick was a great friend of Dr. Sehumacher's, but Adolf became envious of Spick's newly acquired title, and there has been war ever since. Dr also admires Spick's ' highly cultured voice CPD. The subject of our essay is also affected by the fair sex. He never returns until after I2 P. M.. and takes dinner out every Sunday. Don't ask him who it is-we all know. Spick has made a lasting impression on all of us. and we predict for him :i bright and happy future in his chosen work, the ministry. 61

O look at his intelligent countenance and to listen to his invulnerable arguments with the Profs one might not suppose that this little bundle of human energy hails ,d,,,.,. from the wilds of the Eastern Sho'. . l 36212424 This year he was on the hot sands of the Mexican border with the Machine Gun Company, when the rest of us began again to turn out for 8 o'clock classes. .Fortunately in November, the boys on the border were allowed to return to school, and Bill came back as hard as a knot, and with an expert skill at blowing-mess call. When he is not disposing of Gab'oie's pie, little Dingbat is en- joying the movies, or preparing to hie him hither to Baltimore--the theatre of his fussing scenes. With only a minimum of work between him and his diploma, he has perfected a correspond- ence course, by which he can write weekly to six without either of the other five being any the wiser. Two hours a day are given over to golf. And still he has time left for his course in magazinology, the most important subject on his schedule. Tennis talk and chess consume the rest of his working hours. A taste of Army life. together with four years in a cadet's uni- form have kindled in him a burning ambition to become High man in the United States Army. And we are sure that Bill will in due season fall heir to an enviable position in the service He has already learned to command himself to march: Forward! 60

M, C. A. C3Dg Editor- in-Chief of Collegian 643. Motto: I um alwtiys in a haste, but I art'-rw' in ti l1'1z1'ry. USE is an easy, loving youth-one of the few who have entirely mastered the art of loating. lrle is fond of midnight eseapades, and frequently goes out to cnmmtme with 7 Nature and the Spirits His reputation as a night owl was established in his tirst year at St. John's and without the least effort he has lived up to it. Strange to say. he was not often caught visiting, but seemed to have an instinct as to when the O. C, was going to take up an inspection. I-le always admired studies from a distance-never made any rude approach to them. Mose possesses many literary talents, having published the Colleg- ian successfully during his senior year. He thinks Variety is the spice of life, for he changed the date of its appearance many. yea. many times. I-lis ambition is to become a Judge, and every afternoon Nose can be seen wandering aimlessly to the Short Line Station, not being particular what time he gets to his lectures. His course at the Law School causes him to neglect his militfu-y duties, which results in no little embarrassment. Speaking seriously, Mose no doubt will make a great success at law, which profession he has chosen for his career. 'Mose', can we visit you at the White House P 62
