Motto: To be IlltIl'I'I'l?d is the only life 2 To bear the lI1lI'dL'll.Y of daily strife. EORGE NOAH WEAVER, the brusqnc youth from the shores of Lake Owasco, New York State, entered St. john's Preparatory School not unused to the ways of the world. After serving one term in this department of St. Iohn's he entered into the toils of college life, bearing with him an excellent scholastic record, but this attainment was doomed to sudden destruction, in view of the fact that 'college life offered so many more interesting objects to draw his attention. Upon the opening of the college in George's Sophomore year, we Gnd him a renowned corporal. After serving this office diligently, the King of Military Tactics saw in Fats a future general, and in his junior year he was made a sergeant, and so we see that George is gradually coming to the front. Finally Shorty appreciating the good work of Sergeant Weaver bestowed on him the same dis- tinguislied rank that he had held in the previous year. This young man has not been completely ignored by the fair sex, for he has been successful enough to secure a fine young wife from the land of his origin, old New York State, and that is not all - ?. With all of his many faults, we cannot but admire Fats for his good nature, his benevolent disposition, and last but not least, his great ambition to be a marine officer, and in his future life may there be nothing to mar the happiness of George and his loved ones. 68

Motto: 'ffl peel, a poet, my lmgdam lo be a poet. AY has climbed the Annapolis social ladder in his brief stay ulth us with niatked rapidity. May he never encounter any disaster that would cause him to fall from Sky... his social perch, and shake, rattle and roll the delicate organisms 'md intrieitc work QEEQQ ings that form his complicated physique. He has recently been proclaimed Grand Exalted Ruler of the Knights of the Week l nds this honor being thrust upon him for his true and faithful attendance ings at Carvel Hall. Ray is an ever-present guest at this gay rend ment is much in ignorance as to the financial aid he renders the owner as we have never seen him spend anything but the evening. Why, even the miserly economy in which he carries on his correspondence would make one think he was saving up for a battleship. He tries to eradicate the cross sections from a once used stamp so as to increase his pecuniary balance. Nevertheless, in the short time he has been in our midst, we have found him to be possessed of poetical inspiration. Hence, we are led into the deep and far reaching realms of his imagination, by some of his contributions to our Rat-Tat for which we are thankful. Let our knees bow to one who smiles only to show his teeth, and let us act as one in wishing him the praise, honor 'and ceremony he deserves.

Motto: 'flf ilk frm murlz lroublc, let George do it. EHOLD, fair readers, one of Crabt0wn's members of the senior class! I-le, like some others of said class, belong to the heavy weights. Dodge is one of those happy-go-lucky chaps who never trouble themselves un- ,,, duly about mything, especially studies Probably he thinks he will slide home on I H H ii V - xN ' Z A lr , U S'-'f'f'3 his goods looks. Dodge also shines at the hops. He generally drags a fair dame from Murray Hill or lower Gloucester Street. Yes, he is some orator-that is he thinks he is. He has been in seine of the oratorical contests, and come out fairly successful. Prob- ably he can use that voice to instill fear and obedience into the lXlclJonough School bunch, where he expects to teach next year. Dodge'l played tackle and guard on the 'Varsity eleven during the last four years. His 185 pounds avoirdupois has helped him hold many an opponent and let us go through their lines. l'le says he is to teach next year, but whatever may be his career, we all wish him the best of success. 'Dodge', there's a letter from N. Y. home for you5 you'd better hustle. 69
