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

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

F Motto: Eat, drink and be marry, for 1 , tomorrow we may have wrirf' E1-IOLD in Ira a combination of qualities such as were never before nor since aggre- gated in any one individual. ln life Ira's ambition until recently has been hidden in ,wvp a haze of indetermination and uncertainty, but lately he has blossomed out as a full- fflfffld blown candidate for a commission in the Marine Corps. To this we have only one objection, feeling as we do a certain amount of sympathy for the fair sex. We dread to think of the broken hearts he would leave behind him in the many ports of his cruise. Indeed, in recent years, he has been quite a bird in his feminine conquests, and like a bird Hitting from place to place. just as one thinks he and some nice girl are settled down, away he Hies to another and so it goes. As a student, while never leading his class and in spite of being handicapped by being a member of the Veteran Corps in Math. II, im will graduate with his class which proves his powers to ns who now. Athletics as a whole have never been a bee in his bonnet, but being an advocate of new thought he is a thorough health propa- gandist, and many are the times that his long suffering wife wakes to the sight of old Reds in the dim chill of the morning going through his exercises. Friend, the writer has looked him over well and of Ira we can say nothing but the best, a more generous rival, amiable companion and a truer friend no man ever had. 64 it
