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

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

N'l'O the jaws of Death, into the mouth of Hell walked John Storm one day in' the latter part of September, 1913. Up to that date, this unique personage was an indi- K,4,g,q,G vidual unheard of outside of Washington County, not having comnntted any mur- sfsfsaa- ders or violent breaches of the peace, and not having been murdered. these methods the only way to gain notoriety in that county. But, after that date, it was a ease of bottlin- mores to the right of him, Sophomores to the left of him, Sophomorcs in front ot him, Sopho- mores behind him. His every endeavor met with opposition, and he was mangled, mutilated and all but massacred. - In a few months, however, his trials were past, and the then per- fect Johnnie wept, Alexander-like, because he could see no new worlds to conquer. Then by chance he turned his gaze upon the feminine world, and from thenceforth, he has ever endeavored to untie a Gordian knot, which seems to him impossible of performance. Many a better man has met defeat in tackling this same proposition so Murdock need have no cause to feel downeast. This year to the surprise of everyone fincluding himselfj john sud- denly blossomed forth as the leader of the Junior Class. lint, after receiving the congratulations of Dr. Fell and holding the center of the stage for a couple of months, John, like the comet that he is, retired into blissful rest and oblivion. In june the comet will reappear above the horizon of his studies, a victor over all his tribulations. Then will follow a second retirement into the mountains of Washington County, and a final and far greater appearance in that county as the supreme success of them all. l 63
