lblstory of the Glass of 19G3 55039 3 ENTLE READER, allow me to be so informal as to present myself. I am Castoropia, the muse of Class his- 5 5 tories. Kindly imagine yourself seated with me on a dismal rock across the Styx. We are in the realm of Q S shades. These ghost-like forms which tlit about are members of the Class of 1903, who, in turn, will pass E9 5 by us in review as I Call them. ' JWQ First, Rear Admiral Fritz-Iule Achelis. Notice his sad, sweet smile. This precocious youngster entered the school in the stone age. His memory stretches back even to the time when there was a class worse than our own. He dreams most of the time, especially in Greek recitations. It is reported, indeed, that the only thing that can wake him up is the whistle of the train bound for New York. Next we have dear little Blair, whose astounding dexterity first won him fame as a juggler 3 later, alas! he em- ployed this same dexterity in teasing from the unwilling banjo the most wofullest strains that e'er met mortal ears. - But who is that, you say, who next looms large upon the horizon ? He with the chubby, child-face and that in- imitable prance? Bend closer while I whisper the name-Edward Hardluck Butler!!! In his hand he carries a geom- etry, an Iliad, four or five histories and a French book. He has spent seven hours and six minutes on each, and is now ready Cwith the help of the godsy to make a recitation. He couldn't have spent that much time, you say? Nonsense! Next! Hist! Cpausej. Hush!! Cpausej. Likewise Sh!!! Qlong pausej. See him! Horatio Booth Colket ! !! O, ye shades of actors great, shudder and grow pale! See how quietly he passes. Never would you suspect that he is the one who has set the flat afire with his eloquence, and by his power of acting has even awed a Renshaw! Notice his dreamy eye and unkempt beard. The soul of genius is there, my boy! Yes, you are right, the next is a great man. G-r-e-a-t, great-capital G. F. H. Davis, A.B., Ph.D., N.F.Y.G., etc., etc. Why that run-away-little-boy-and-play-I'm-an-upper-sixth-former air? One of the eccentricities of genius, I assure you. You perceive from his rapid, vigorous gait that he is an athlete. In fact he is the backbone of the school's athletics. I was about to say ham-bone, but he doesn't like puns, so we had better pass to the next before we irritate him. I2
