BAKER, Jr. In selecting this name to place on the dedicatory page of the ALOHA of 1910, the editors feel sure that the reasons are evident to all Who love Western Maryland College. Mr. Baker belongs to a family which has shown the most liberal and intelligent interest in the College for many years. He himself is an honor graduate of the College, and for years he has been a leading figure in the affairs of its Alumni Associa- tion. Mr. Baker was born in Buckeystown, Frederick County, Maryland, December 21, 1874, attended the public school there until 1890 when he entered the Freshman Class of WVestern Maryland College and graduated at the head of his class in 1894. During that summer he Was critically ill, and for a time his life was despaired of, but after months of lingering uncertainty he recovered, and his father erected on the College campus the beautiful Chapel in grateful recognition of the mercy that spared the life of a beloved son, as the inscribed tablet in Baker Chapel reads. In the fall of 1895 he entered the Senior class of Yale and took his A.B. degree there in June, 1896. He then took the law course in the University of Maryland, receiving the degree of LLB. in 1899. In 1900 the firm of Baker, Wfatts and Coin- pany, bankers, was organized in Baltimore by himself and two other young men, and it is now among the leading institutions of the kind in the State. Mr. Baker has been active in religious and civic affairs. He was chosen treasurer of the Committee of Arrangements for the International Christian Endeavor Convention held in Balti- more, July, 1905, and the committee received great praise 6 lf!

'Null uhlllf' r5!F'0f s.-lCam- dim avi-W ar :Tw ,swf for the perfect manner in which the Convention was handled, especially in the Way of finances. He Was an active member of the Campaign Committee which raised 3600,000 for a new building for the Young Men's Christian Association of Baltimore in 1906. He is one of the managers of the Maryland School for Boys, and takes an active interest in that State institution. He is chairman of the Western Maryland College Alumni Committee which recently completed a fund of 310,000 to be added to the Endowment Fund of the College. He is, moreover, an excellent public speaker, and in frequent request for temperance addresses, Y. M. C. A. and Christian Endeavor meetings, and so forth. He has attempted many different things and has done them all well. The only thing that seems to appall him is matrimony. if f Nw Q Mi lli. -his - .' 7 x Preface In publishing this book We have in view two aimsg first, to reestablish a Worthy custom that has been neglected for the past six years, and second, to portray in lasting form the remembrances of our college course. We do not claim any par- ticular literary merit for this effort but at the same time We present the book as its own apology. The difficulties attendant upon a,Work of this kind coincident with the regular college exercises are too evident to require exposition here. We have endeavored to make it representative of the college atmosphere, in all its phases including athletic, social, and intellectual interests. We hope at least to suggest many of the wholesome features of our college days in such a Way that they will remain fresh in the memory in years to come.

Since our matriculation there have been a few additions, many subtractions and no divisions, until now we are graduating with twenty-eight. We have now reached our maturity in college life and will herein chronicle a few of the happenings that have made our college days eventful. Our Hrst roll-call was answered by twenty-one graduates from the Prep School and forty-four new students. Cur Freshman year was one of careful tutelage under the direction of the Upper-Classmen. Hazing thrived. In this year we laid the foundation for future success. Dr. Lewis was away and we got our start under circumstances that bred in us a spirit of independence that the Doctor has tried in vain to eradicate during the last three years. Vie had more fun per capita than any preceding or following class has ever had. But the pace was too strong for some as the number of expulsions and suspensions will attest. The class was a unit from the irst day it arrived on College Hill. ln athletics we made good. Mack and Whealton made the Varsity football team, Smith the baseball, and Elderdice, Gill, Moore, and Whealton the track teams. In basketball we secured second place with a team composed of Captain Mack, Elderdice, Latimer, Gill, and Roberts. We closed the year with the best display of nreworks that had been seen here up to that time and the Ciceronian Oration by Smith. The elocution contestants were Gerringer, Lewis, and Smith 5 28 Kennedy, Israel, and Parks. Gerringer and Kennedy won. The class medal was won by Gill, but was refused him because of alleged indiscretions. The girls' medal was won by Miss Parks. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we found our number diminished by about half. But this year found us experienced and ready for anything. We hazed as seldom before and never since. Dr. Lewis prohibited hazing and we started in and hazed them all over again. Our class election next occupied our attention and was held without the least semblance of friction or ill-feeling. The new officers entered with a will into the important matter of arranging our Hallowe'en Entertainment. WVe rendered a program that was highly praised and is now considered the ideal towards which other classes strive. The girls gave a Mock Commencement, the cast including them all. The boys' Minstrel Show is the best performance ever given at Hallowe' en. It included Wiley and Elderdice end-men, Gill interlocutorg and Smith and Lewis musicians, and was followed by a juggling and clog-dancing musical encore by Smith, Thompson, and Elderdice. After the show the Freshmen furnished additional amusement around the bonfire on the Girls' Side. In athletics we continued our progress, furnishing three football men, and three baseball men. In basket- ball we had almost a new team but succeeded in tying for second place. Wiley and Parks won the Elocution medals and Gill and Foard, the class medals at Commencement. The Junior year is generally considered an uneventful one in college life. But it was then that we began to make a very enviable record in studies. Thirteen received Honorable Mention for the year which is probably a larger percent- age ofthe class than was ever so honored. At the culmination of the social features of the college course we also excelled, for our Junior Banquet was pronounced a success. Toastmaster and Chairman T. S. Englar perfected the arrangements to a far greater degree than had ever been attempted before. The event was one to mark a stage in our career for the Junior Banquet is really the beginning of the end. As Seniors we have often been censured for lack of dignity but we have met all requirements of the Faculty and have taken it upon ourselves to have a good time regardless of what any one thinks about it. We believe that our pred- ecessors have frequently mistaken assumed dignity for real merit. A black gown and a sombre countenance are not infallible indications of a completed education. In the Society Contests we furnished our quota of orators and essayists and feel safe in saying that by them the standard of these contests has not been lowered. Day and Lewis represented Irving g Gerringer and Smith, Webster 5 Parks and Hill, Philo 5 and Israel and Steele, Browning 5 Irving and Browning winning. Lewis has been chosen Inter- collegiate Orator with Gerringer alternate. Our Senior Elocution recitals have been up to the standard and the Music Recitals have surpassed those of recent years. 29 H D' cn O Pi' 99 U2 rn O P-h 1-K 0 C QD Q f-s 99 Q- G 99 cf cn Q- 99 D' Q- CD, ff v-s 99 I3 UQ ru fv- O m 99 Q41 99 fv- D' Pi' ro cv- ,... cu on CL ,...

He has never broken a single College rule, but we don't know Whether this is to his credit or not, for he has had no inclination to do so. He takes some interest in politics, believes in state's rights especially the rights of the Eastern Shore, and always goes home to vote. 31 HARRY RALPH COVER ..............,...... . . .Westminster, Md.

He was also the baritone of the famousC?j Soph quartette and the ever willing instigator of the latest opera songs for Whose miraculous imitations the music- loving student-body had to suffer in silence. Tom has recognized mana- gerial ability and goes into business schemes red-hot, even grumbles when his chocolate is below 2120.

He has the credit of being captain of VVestern Maryland's best football team, whose success was due in a large measure to his interest and courage. He is almost a freakin studies, for he was always sick in bed on hard days and the other days he was excused from reciting because he was feeling bad, but in the Hnals he always came out first.

Whether or not my students proited by my strenuous efforts along this line I know not, but I am quite sure that I enjoyed the Work immensely, for in ye olden days at W.M. C. l liked nothing better than to go into the gym and coach basketball teams. Even though school had been closed for several months, my interest in my Work had not Waned, and this Warm afternoon I had chosen the coolest spot in the garden, Where undisturbed I might peruse the latest Work on girls' athletics. Seated in a comfortable rustic chair, I opened my book, but, strange to say, its contents failed to interest me, and before long I found my eyes centered on a 61 bed of pansies at my feet. Again and again I tried to become absorbed in my book, but my eyes invariably wandered to the pansy bed, while my thoughts reverted to days of long ago, and my dear old classmates at W. M. C. So absorbed was I in my revery that I unconsciously cried out, Oh, that I might once more behold my dear classmates! Was it the sound of my own voice that made me start? No, for standing directly in front of me was a tiny sprite, scarcely as tall as the highest pansy. Q What dost thou wish? he asked in a shrill, piping voice, and I answered mechanically, To see my 1910 class- mates of W. M. C. Alas, that is impossible, he cried, for they are scattered all over the world. Then to know what each of them is doing, I persisted. That wish may be granted, was the answer. Do not move until I returnf' I remained, bewildered not only at his sudden appearance, but as much so at his mysterious disappearance. VVhat seemed hours, but in reality were only a few minutes, passed when I heard a slight grating sound, and turning, saw my little friend standing quite close, while behind him came eight other little fairies dragging a huge book. This, the first fairy opened with difficulty, and began to run his fingers down the index. The first name? he asked, and I replied, HJ. M. Bennet. As one who heads the list in the class of 1910, J. M. Bennet, the straight man, also stands first in the capacity of a business man. There are but few of us who do not make mistakes sometimes, J. M. certainly made a mistake when he attempted to ill the vacancy of the professorship in one of the Southern colleges. Perhaps he would have been more successful if he were not so easily embarrassed. He was altogether too popular with the girls, who promptly began to buzz around him in true Southern fashion. This was too much for him, for he is naturally shy of girls, so he decided to change his vocation, and go into business. He is now a member of the well-known firm, Bennet and Company, in New York. May the fates prosper him! I It seems to me that some people never know their own minds, the fairy went on, with a sigh. HNow, there is your rosy-cheeked classmate Ralph Cover. He always was a funny chap, and lost his head whenever a girl made 'goo-goo' eyes at him. His one aim is still to accumulate enough to buy a home, but how to bring this about is a prob- lem for Ralph. Many occupations has he tried, and he has become a sort of 'Jack of all Trades, hlaster of None'. Soon after graduating he tried his hand at writing short stories for some of the leading magazines. But as only a few of these were accepted he soon became discouraged and gave up hope of ever accomplishing anything along this line. He next turned his attention to public speaking. You might wonder why he had not tried this before, as his oratorical 62 powers were always in evidence at college. Sometimes we feel certain that he will shine as one of the greatest orators of the day. Ulf Mr. Darley will only come down for a reasonable length of time, I will attempt to portray him along with the rest of his classmates, the fairy went on. If he had continued to do what apparently seemed his greatest delight at college, you would say that he is tramping throughout the country with his surveying instruments, but such is not the case. Instead he has turned out to be a professor. Were you to enter the scientific department of the University of Virginia, you would be very much surprised to see your classmate. He seems to be very much wrapped up in his work, and is apparently making a great success of it. After leaving W. M. C., Mr. Darley entered Princeton, and later was appointed a professor in the University of Virginia, where he is now one of the most important members of the faculty. HAfter leaving college Chauncey Day attended the Seminary. He remained there for two years, but soon found out that the ministry was not his calling. He, therefore, decided to turn his attention to something more profitable, in the money-making line. You will recall that he was always broke when at college. The mystery of his dreaminess in his Senior year can probably be explained by the fact that he was always busily engaged in building air castles concerning Steele. He now has a monopoly over the Steel Trust in the city of Pittsburg. Chauncey was always a bright boy, eX- cept where jokes were concerned. Even to this day when a clever remark is made in his presence, he will turn around, scratch his head, and say, fIs that a joke?' and probably laugh the next week. The pride of Chauncey's heart was always his handwriting, but this has so throughly changed since his college days, that no one would dare accuse him of writing so much like a girl that he would get his dates mixed. Ina few minutes the fairy continued: Probably you would like to hear about G. M. Englar. 'Rosy' was one of your scientific boys, and after graduating he took up the same line of work in one of our large colleges. Before long he published a book entitled IA Pedal Steering Attachment for Automobiles', which was universally accepted as one of the best ever written on that subject. The colleges all over the country began to use this in their courses, and your class- mate became one of the most famous scientists of the day. Some people would have stopped and settled down to ease and comfort for the rest of their lives, but not so with 'Rosyf He worked on, harder if it were possible, and you need not be surprised if you hear of some of the most intricate scientiic problems of the day, along this same line, being solved by him. . 4'Cn leaving college it was Tom Englar's desire to study law. He went to the university, studied very hard, and graduated well up in his class. That same year he was admitted to the Maryland Bar. From this time on he made rapid strides in the profession, and is looked upon as one of the most distinguished and capable lawyers of the present day. 63 There is nothing surprising in the advance he has made along this line when you recall the extensive vocabulary that was always at his command. Whenever he uttered any preposterous adjective, as he often did, it was not even neces- sary to ask if it were a word in good use. You may rest assured that Tom will make his mark in the world. The first girl in the class, alphabetically and studiously, is your old friend L. Belle Foard, the former president of the Y. W. C. A. You must travel far to find her, for she is now teaching in a kindergarten in the distant land of Japan. After leaving W. M. C. she devoted several years to special kindergarten work, in the meantime studying the Japanese language, and finally accepted a call to the foreign Held. From intimate association with her at Western Maryland, you are safe in assuming that she has attained success in her labors, and by her unlimited patience and exceeding good nature has won the hearts of all her pupils. HNeXt to the president of the Y. W. C. A. comes the president of the Y. M. C. A., Linley William Gerringer. When he came to W. M. C. it was his intention to go through the seminary, as well as the college. His gift as an orator was decidedly apparent, even in the first years of his college course 5 therefore you will not be surprised to learn that he now holds the responsible position of Pastor of one of the most important charges of the North Carolina M. P. Conference. Were you to attend the annual conference you would very often hear Mr. Gerringer's voice, discussing some of the great church problems. When I heard this I was not greatly surprised, for at college whenever Linley understood anything he went at it with the determination to succeed at any cost g and his interest in his present work does not belie his record at college and seminary. Had you entered the Capitol at Washington during the last session of Congress, you would have seen in the legis- lature your old classmate, Robert J. Gill, the tall member of your class. From W. M. C. he went to Princeton, and after graduating from there, entered public life as a politician. Debating was always his forte, hence we find him taking a lively part in the proceedings of the House. At the last session he introduced a bill to abolish the negro suffrage amendment and fought valiantly for its success. Whether or not he will succeed in the future I do not know, but the bill failed to pass at the last session. You may be sure, however, that he will never rest until he has accomplished this one desire of his heart. I am certain his success as a politician is assured. In Old Virginny along the banks of the Wicomico stands an old-time mansion. Its mistress is your friend lXIamie Hall who is now devoting her time and talents to writing. Poems are her chief productions, but she has also written some interesting books, the most Widely renowned being 'The Superiority of the South over the Northf She is now laboring over a work entitled 'Hints for Increasing One's Vocabularyf It is quite possible that this question occurred to her because of a suggestion offered by 'Doc' in Bible study long years ago at W. M. C. when that superior gentleman 64 vociferously berated the Senior girls because they lacked broad enough -minds to permit the employment of a new word whenever occasion demanded. It is the fervent hope of all concerned that this book will prove a success. Out in the rural village of X- stands a pretty little parsonage with large red roses and honeysuckles around the front porch. The room which we enter is very cosy and home-like, and at the piano sits our old friend Belle Hill, but another name has been added to her signature for she has become mistress of the parsonage. She is busily engaged in playing over old familiar hymns from which the parson may select the most appropriate for service on the following day. After graduating from the college she taught school for a while near her own home, until two years ago when she deci- ded to leave her father's parsonage and rule over that of the man of her choice If on certain evenings during the winter you were to visit the opera house in one of our large Northern cities you would scarcely find standing room. What is the attraction? Read on your program 'Miss Hooper.' After .completing her musical course at W. M. C. she studied abroad for several years, where she acquired great skill as a pianist and iinally returned to her native land to win glory and renown. All of her success at home and abroad has failed to change her from the quiet little girl of college days. The little fairy laughed to himself and then went on: On one of the fashionable avenues of Baltimore, stands a large pretentious mansion. Would it be very difficult for you to guess which of our number is mistress here? It is Elise who is a leader of society in the city. She is surrounded by every luxury that heart can desire. It is her chief delight to give large receptions and balls. I am sure you are not surprised for she was always a lover of pleasure, and it is evident that her powers of entertaining have not waned during the ten years that have elapsed since her graduation at W. M. C. It is always the unexpected that happens. Mary Ethel Joy, 'Jack,' of former days, has long since discarided her boyish nickname and with it her careless happy go-lucky disposition. You would scarcely recognize her in the dgnified matron who presides so gracefully over the daintily appointed tea-table. Who would have thought that she would settle down so soon to the monotonous round of household duties? But would you call it monotonous if you could catch sight of the cheerful face and hear her blitne voice singing all day long? You will recall she took 'Vocal' at W. M. C. for one-fifth of a term during her Sophomore year. Undoubtedly she is happy. . Should you like to know what has become of the smallest member of your class, Vesta Irene Kimler? You will not be surprised to learn that she is making her mark in the world. Whenever a political meeting is being held in the city hall at Hagerstown there you may behold 'Kim' rising to take the floor during the hottest discussion. With her 'Well-er-er' and her 'Why-er-er,' she usually succeeds in gaining her point, or at least she thinks she has gained it, though a different impression often remains in the minds of her hearers. She is the same impulsive little creature that 65 you knew in college days, spending her time and strength trying to win her sisters' 'Rights' Whether she will succeed or not remains to be seen. Out in the small country town of Y- stands a quaint little church. Were you to visit this on Sunday you would find it filled with people all very much interested in the pastor's discourse. This is no other than Augustus Ledford. He graduated from W. M. C. in 1910 and the following year entered the Seminary. Since his graduation from that insti- tution he has been preaching. He has held several appointments and is making a success of his chosen calling. His suc- cess may be attributed in a measure to the fact that he has never married. You will remember that at college he attended strictly to business and did not seem to be at all susceptible to the charms of the opposite sex. I suppose that disposition of mind and heart which he manifested at college has remained during the years which have elapsed since his graduation. The fairy heaved a sigh and continued. Back into the town of Westminster we must go to ind Russell Lewis, the married man of the class. Photography was his especial hobby during his college days and time has only served to increase his talents in this direction. He is now the leading photographer in Westminster and always adheres to the sign hanging in front of his store which reads 'No pictures guaranteed to be an improvement on the originalf When thinking of what the future had in store for the '10 boys I had always pictured Early Moser as a school teacher, and so was not surprised when the fairy read: Mr. Moser, Superintendent of Schools in Richmond, Vir- ginia. Even before graduating from W. M. C. he had taught for some time and the experience he gained laid the foundation for a successful career of teaching. Although he has become eminent along this line he has met with defeat along certain others. For fifteen years he has tried to become entangled in the web of matrimony, but so far his attempts have been in vain. We wish him success in his further efforts to become a Benedict. Among her many other talents, Cecille Parks had always possessed remarkable elocutionary powers. After leav- ing college she took a course at the Emerson School of Oratory and has now become one of the leading readers of the day. For several years she held the position of Instructor in Elocution in one of our principal colleges. VVhat eloquence she hath acquired! Still it is not surprising when we remember her flights of humor and pathos on Smith Hall stage, back at W. M. C. f'The days of startling discoveries are not yet past. You will remember that Francis Philo Phelps always had a passion for modern inventions and for Science in general. You remember how he took so long to survey the girls' cam- pus? He was very fond of star-gazing and viewing all kinds of celestial bodies and was all the time planning to devise some way of communication with them. He is now working on an instrument with which communication maybe carried on be- tween Mars and the earth. He ought to succeed in his undertaking if natural talents in that line are any augury for success. 66 VVhile at college Tom Smith was always preeminent as a baseball player and I was consequently not surprised to hear that he had made a success at the game in professional ranks after leaving college. The papers are full of his great work in the National League and we are glad to remember him as playing baseball for the Gold and Green. You will doubtless be glad to hear also what Marshall Thompson is doing, the fairy continued. He has be- come a well-known society man, a red-hot sport, and a heart-smasher. He has had fiancees and sweethearts galore and has their pictures on the walls of his room arranged chronologically according to their successive reigns over his highly susceptible heart. You will remember that he was somewhat partial to small girls at one time, but his latest flame presents a striking contrast to his usual selection, for she is so much larger than he that she would easily be able .to chastise him if necessary. We wish him all the luck possible, but cannot help feeling that should Fortune favor his suit in this direction, married life would not be 'one grand sweet song' for him. We often wonder why some people become ministers. One explanation given is that when a man grows too lazy to do anything else, he imagines he has a call to the ministry. He joins the Conference and gets a charge. That explains why we find WVilliam Dolly Tipton in a Methodist parsonage with a wife of his own. Isn't it surprising? Who would have thought that such bliss was to be his? But then the Western Maryland girls always did like Dolly. Although Ethel lVelch's name comes at the end of the list of '10 girls, she is by no means the least in consequence. After leaving W. M. C. she taught in a small rural school, but it was not long until she had increased in knowledge and ability to such an extent that she became the principal of a high school. She spent several summers at Columbia Uni- versity, specializing in History, and finally, despite the stringent examinations of Baltimore City, she is at present prin- cipal of the Normal School. Next comes your class president, Clawrence Whealton, and another jolt is in store for you. You remember possibly that in 'Ye Olden Days' Clawrence played on the football and basketball teams. He walked lazily about giving direc- tions to others until his spirit became aroused by the cheering of the '10 girls. Then he stretched his long arms and went to work. He is now busily engaged in giving directions to budding athletes in one of the large Western colleges. Clawrence has become an athletic coach of the first class and his opinions on college sports of all kinds are respected all over the country. The Fates have chosen kindly for him,for Clawrence would always prefer to tell someone else how to do it rather than do it himself. As the fairy glanced at the next name he laughedlo ud and long. 'William Richard Wiley, Physician,' reads the shingle outside the dingy, unpretentious mansion in one of the suburbs of Baltimore. It is here that 'Willie, ' having grown weary of women and society, has settled down to 'The Club,' a gruesome skeleton, and other people's aches and pains. 67 From his old-time role of a heart-breaker he has become' a woman hater and now returns, unopened, all violet-scented envelopes. The general appearance of his home shows that a woman is needed in his life, but apparently no one has yet been able to convince him of this fact. However, if you could peep into his study about 12 o'clock at night you would see him take out of a secret drawer the photograph of a little girl, kiss it reverently and return it to its hiding place. Per- haps that is why he is so popular as a physician, because he drowns his own sorrows in trying to forget the sufferings of others. You may be sure that the Wright man chooses the right calling. All through his college days, Charles Perry Wright spent a greater part of his time in drawing pictures. He submitted various specimens to his class-mates for their approval and they were always favorably received. Were you to visit any of the prominent art galleries, here, or abroad, you would find many impressive pictures from the skilful brush of C. P. All the members of the class are exceedingly proud of his success in the field of art and point to his work as that of aWestern Maryland man whenever an opportunity offers. x The fairy ceased speaking but I still remained quiet with my eyes closed. At last I opened them to find not only that my little friend was gone but also that I was sitting in my favorite rustic seat in the garden. The volume on ' 'Athletics for Girlsl' had fallen to the ground, but I did not immediately pick it up, for I was too much engrossed in the stories I had just heard and I could not but wonder how many of them were true. , D, ,Q K .55 if I C - A K 112539 'stiff' 68 FRANCIS JACKSON ADAMS.. ..

We sincerely hope that inthe years to come she will look back with pleasant memories upon the days when the Class of 1911 worked, played, and worried the august Faculty. Quite a number of us graduated together at the Prep School 5 and since then each year has seen the addition to our ranks of those whom we are proud to call classmates. But each year we have met with losses, too, so that now we number only forty-three in both departments. It has always been the aim of our class in all its duties as a class to equal or excel those that have gone before. In our Freshman year we were fortunate enough to have a better place to set off our fireworks than any preceding class, and consequently they were more appreciated. Our Sophomore entertainment stands out as the first one presenting aplay written by a member of the class. At this time the Junior Banquet gives promise of being the 'fgreatest of them all. In athletics, we shall surely be remembered. During each of the three years of our history we have furnished three or four men for the 'varsity football team and an equal number for baseball. We have already had a football and a base- ball captain from our class and now there is the best chance that another of our number will ' be rewarded in like manner in baseball. We have been represented on the relay team since our Freshman year. Our basketball team has always been good but has never been able to win the much coveted championship. In our Freshman year we were tied for second place, in our Soph year we defeated the crack ,099 team and were tied for first. Owing to several losses from the team this winter our rank is third. We had quite a time in satisfactorily settling our class organization but finally succeeded, and now there is only the smoothest sailing for the administration. Our girls have always accorded us the heartiest support in both the class and college athletics. While never win- ning the championship they have both years made a good showing. In elocution and scholarship they have also made an enviable reputation. At times we have caused much loss of sleep to the Faculty members, and it is not all over yet because we have another year. After our course is completed, however, we feel quite sure that the Faculty as well as the students of W. M. C. will have in their hearts a feeling of good-will towards the Class of 1911. And here it may not be amiss to add a word of congratulation and the good wishes of the Class of 1911 for the Class of 1910. 73 JUNIOR CLASS JUNIOR CLASS A. M. BACON .... W. C. COULBOURNE. J. M.

C. we feel that we can hold up our heads in pardonable pride at our record in the short two years of our college course. Our path has been so marked with triumphs in scholarship and athletics that We hope to leave the name of 1912 indelibly emblazoned on the activities of the college. In Freshman year our class was composed of twenty boys and twenty-seven girls representing seven states. We were, in common with most entering classes, very verdant, but showed an ability to adapt ourselves to circumstances and, aided by the kind offices of 1911, we soon settled into our place in college life. Of course we had several inevitable conflicts with the Sophomores and while we do not wish to indulge in boasting, we held our own with undaunted courage and as much determination as is consistent with a Freshman Class. 1911 will not forget the night on which they were driven headlong from Freshman Hall and did not return in spite of our taunts and invitations. Our athletic career was remarkable in Freshman year. We furnished three men for the Varsity eleven in the fall and defeated the Sophomore class in basketball, thus depriving them of their chance for the championship. The baseball squad also drew abundance of good material from 1912. Our class was honored signally at commencement when one of our members received the All-Aro und Athletic Medal, a distinction which had hitherto never been conferred on a Freshman. We contributed our share to the fun of Commencement week in the sacred rites attending the cremation of our erstwhile tormentor, Mr. Cicero. The ceremony was very impressive and there was hardly a dry eye in the vast throng when the remains were finally consumed. Mrs. I Cicero is said to have been completely prostrated under excess of emotion. C Cn our return last fall we missed many familiar faces from our ranks and found severalnew members had become en- rolled among us. The fame of 1912 had reached even to far-off Texas and that state had hastened to add her quota to our numbers. The Freshmen occupied our minds for a short time, but they were soon spanked severely and taught their proper place and gave us very little trouble afterwards. Our Hallowe'en celebration was voted an immense success by the other classes, not a little pleasure being added by the hit which our class song registered. - Athletics found us even more in the front rank this year than last. Five men of the Varsity football team were re- cruited from our ranks and the basketball championship was easily annexed by the sturdy Five which wore the Buff and Blue. Cur college career is half over and we intend to strive toward making the last half even more brilliant than the past has augured. The onward and upward career of W. M. C. in all its activities is our aim and While we hold the achieve- ments of our class very dearly we put our college even ahead of that and intend to work with our hearts and hands for the up-lifting and the betterment of dear old W. M. C. 81 SOPHOMORE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS A. M. BIRDSALL. G. R. BROWN . .. E. N. COMFORT. . R. W. DEVILBISS J. E. GRAEFE ....... . .. C. D. LINTHICUM P. D. MARKEL. . The Roll Boys .Maua.squan, N. J.

Kingston History What a jolly bunch of Freshmen we are-fifty-live of us, every one gay and almost free. And why should we not be happy? Many of us have been through Brute Hall and to all comes the consciousness that next year we will be Sophs and the lords of W. M. C. Our first term in college was a stormy one, but we have emerged from it with colors flying high. As usual we had to endure all manner of insults and indignities at the hands of the Sophomores under that course of college training called hazing. We were spanked, made to box, and even while we slept peacefully in the middle of the night, they, assisted by members of other classes, fed us some non-edible parts of a chicken. But we will have our revenge. On whom? You may ask. Surely not on the Sophomores, dear friends, oh no! But on the unsuspecting innocent Class of 1914. We are a proud class-we have men on the Varsity football squad and others who are sure to make it. Last year our baseball team was almost invincible, and this year under an able captain we are as strong as Gibraltar. In basketball we had the misfortune of losing two of last year's best players, but we made a creditable showing of which we have nothing to be ashamed. Another thing which we have to be proud of was the class rush, for during this two of our men secured colors. Many details were prevented in this rush by the valiant work of Professor Field, and when an inventory was taken the entire list of casualties registered were: Mr. Dau-'s hair mussed, three black eyes, one bloody nose, and two Soph coat sleeves minus their colors. We can also boast of some great musicians who can play equally well on the mandolin, guitar, banjo, mouth organ, and jew's harp. , It has been the custom at W. M. C. to burn Cicero at the end of the Freshman year, but as we will have finished Virgil at the end of the year and not Cicero, we have decided to cremate said Virgil and let Cicero's bones rot. We received a long holiday at Christmas and another at Easter, and we get still a longer one this summer. But while we are glad to have a rest from our mental toils,iwe are still happy to come together again at dear old W. M. C. at whose tables playing baseball with potato rinds is strictly prohibited by order of the Dean. H - And now dear Freshmen I must close, there is a lot more that I could say concerning our beloved class, but let us be contented in dreaming of the future when we shall be Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and then-oblivion. 92 x N NWN' , 'Mm M ,.X.v'f ii ,Af f if LEVINE HALL .Bs SN , Am :Na X , J' f , jig: ffm Lf C x 7- aix, f V , 0 K- jj 'Li ' Q it I Cx ,f -1 g- A - f ', . 4,3 '- 9 , 1 A 'I -' f A v A M f ff 031' ' I' . ml 'W 3 'in ' ' 'I ' 4 ' 1 , 'V V ' 4 f 4 'f.: - it Lib mfg 'I ' V 1 A 9' ' ' - .rf H3 1- .umm-' m..,,,, n?hL:ln:'n VYU?Z7 Q NK' -X xii lay, i ' ' .ww K.

We represent a wide scope of country as well as awide scope of activities. We hail from the states of Delaware, New Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Maryland and the District of Columbia. But, however, much of State pride may exist in the hearts of the boys and the girls of the different sections it now holds place second to that of our class pride. We are well represented in every phase of the school athletics. We have a splendid baseball team of our own, we have two men on the Varsity baseball team, and we furnished two men to the Varsity football team, also two men for the reserves. In the series of inter-class basketball games we were only victorious in one game but in this the Freshmen were our victims. In every game we put up a strong fight and there should be no reproach for our losses when the fact is considered that we furnished the man who scored the greatest number of touchdowns on the football team during the season of 1909. The history of the class of 1910 has been a continuous era of good feeling. We selected one of our very 'best men for President and he has led us safely through the trials of our Prep days. Our President is popular among the fellows and is especially admired by the girls of the class. We do not mean to boast about ourselves but we do claim to equal any class that has ever gone out from the Prep School. With our excellent motto C Festina lentef' make haste slowlyj as a guide we expect in the fall of 1910 to be admitted to the Freshman Class and then to the higher classes, all the time advancing our ideals and when victory is linally ours in the Spring of 19111, it will be a source of gratitude to everyone who had the honor of being a member of the graduating class of the Preparatory School in 1910. 9 Oflicers President ....... ,...

Young lVlen's Christian Association The Young Men's Christian Association is the one organization on College Hill which is large enough to contain all the others, the Faculty not excepted. It stands as the center of all the religious activity of the student body. The high moral standard which W. M. C. has maintained for so many years is largely due to the Work of the Y. M. C. A. Young men on entering college meet with peculiar temptations and often become careless and forgetful of the teachings of Christ. Herein lies the great influence of the Christian Association. Its purpose is to aid the students in maintaining and strengthening their Christian characters. Also to show those Who are not Christians that the strongest character, the purest life, and the truest manhood is the result of accepting the great ideal -Jesus Christ. To insure its members against the snares and temptations that beset them in college life, the Christian Association provides Work in Bible study, Mission study, services at the county home and jail. Each VVednesday evening the students meet in their neatly furnished assembly room for devotional service which is always presided over by a student and usually addressed by a student. Cn each Sunday afternoon the Y. M. C. A. meets the Y. W. C. A. in a joint devotional meeting. Astanding committee has charge of these meetings. These meetings are addressed by students both male and female, by members of the Faculty, and traveling secretaries. ' For some years past the Y. M. C. A. has sent delegations to the student volunteer conference at Baltimore, the T ri-State Y. M. C. A. Convention and the student conference at Northfield, Mass. This year it sent a delegation to the Sixth International Student Missionary Convention at Rochester. The Cabinet for 1910-11 is composed of good men, and We expect to see the Y. M. C.A. Work prosper under their direction. Cabinet for l9l0-l l President ...... .... Cf . H. ENFIELD Historian .... . . E. DUKES Vice-President ....... ...... J . W. WRIGHT Organist .... . . .P. C.

When we girls came to Western Maryland College as new students one of the first organizations to attract our atten- tion was the Y. W. C. A. On the first Saturday evening of the school year a reception was given to the new girls in the name of this Association, and it is here that all newcomers are made welcome. Royal entertainment is provided and a cordial invitation extended to all the new students to join the Association. Mid-week services are held every Wednesday evening in the Y. W. C. A. Hall. This hall is a large pleasant room on the third story of the main building. The midweek services are usually conducted by the members of the Association, except during the week of prayer, which is held in November. At this time different members of the Faculty are invited to conduct the evening services, themorning services are largely prayer and song services and are led by the girls. As a rule the meetings are well-attended, especially this year the girls have taken great interest in the work of the Asso- ciation. The reason that we hold our prayer meeting on a week-day is obvious-that we may not lose interest in our religious duties in the time that elapses between one Sunday and the next. Each Sunday afternoon, however, the Y. W. C. A. joins with the Y. M. C. A. in holding a short meeting in Smith Hall, which is greatly enjoyed. Some time during the year, or after college closes, delegates are sent to one or more of the Women's Christian Association Conventions held here in the East. Last June we sent two delegates to Mountain Lake Park, and in January a delegate was sent to the Student Volunteer Convention held at Rochester. These girls all returned with glowing accounts of the good times they had enjoyed, and full of enthusiasm for the work in which we are so much interested. The Association is growing in numbers and strength, and we pray that God will add His blessing to our feeble efforts to advance His kingdom here at College, and that through the work of the Association many .may be led to see the beauty of living the perfect life with Christ as our pattern. 105 Y.

C.. . . . . .. 159 124 The season of 1909 was the most successful that any Western Maryland team has had in recent years. The schedule played was harder than ever before and harder than that of any other college in the state. St. J ohn's and Maryland Agricultural were rated several classes below us even by their own followers. Mercersburg and Mt. Washington were defeated for the first time 'infthe history of the college. The score of 47 against Mt. St. Mary's was thellargest ever made by a Western Maryland team. The team had the strongest and most versatile offensive machine that Western Maryland has producedg while in defense the team was the equal of any previous one. Football spirit ran higher throughout the whole school than in former years. ' Altogether the season was highly successful. Most of the credit must be given to Coach Cottrell. He is a hard worker and a good coach. The college is fortunate in having his services. Captain Gill was an able leader and inspired his men with the truelighting spirit. Manager Smith arranged a good schedule and looked well after the team's comfort. The team was never outclassed, was defeated only twice, but one team scored more touchdowns than we did, and none more than one more touchdown. We scored four times as many points as our opponents, and got the ball inside our opponent' s twenty-yard line only twice without pushing it over. This inability to score when within striking distance has been the greatest weakness of former Western Maryland teams. The prospects for next season are even brighter, since but two regulars are lost by graduation. Coach Cottrell is expected to return and Captain Twigg' 11 is an experienced man for leader.

The SCElSOI'1,S Record At this time but one game of the schedule has been played. In that the strong Villa Nova team was held down to a score of 4 to 1. This showing augurs well for a highly successful season. The warm weather has rounded the team into excellent shape, the spirit is good and all indications are favorable. The team is composed entirely of old men except the battery. In that department Twigg has shown much improvement over last year's form, and Beck, a new man, easily fills the vacancy in the catching department. The other men are showing progress in inside baseball and are hitting the ball harder and oftener than last year. Coach Cottrell has proven his ability in baseball as well as in football and basketball. He makes the men work hard, has their confidence and knows the game. Captain Dooley is a good leader and sets a high example by his batting average for his men to follow. Manager Gill has arranged the most pretentious schedule the College has ever had. Here's hoping the good start may be kept up! 129 . if K BECK ..... Twice .... COE. . . . . . STULTZ .... .Second base DOOLEY CCapt.D .,,,. . . . GIBBONS ......... . . THOMAS . . .

M. Cottrell. He isa graduate of Colgate and coached Dickinson Seminary before here. He is an all-around athlete of exceptional ability and also has the rare quality of being able to impart his knowledge and experience to others. He played half-back on the Colgate team that defeated Syracuse and West Point and tied Cornell. He also played third base on the Varsity baseball team, was a quarter-miler and a good basketball man. Since leaving college he has developed into a pitcher of no mean ability. He is a hard Worker and is vitally interested in his Work all the time. In addition to his Work as coach he is a good fellow and a good example of a successful college man. He has helped the college in every Way. 139 Girfs' Athletic Association ,.M.1l- President ........ ........ M IRIAM MILLER Vice-P-resident ..... .... M ARY DELASHMUTT Secretary ...... ........

HBut that I am forbidden To tell the secrets of my prison house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood. In the year 1894 a few girls who wanted to start something worth while founded the secret society known to everyone on College Hill as J. G. G. In regard to entering this society the Senior girls are always the favored ones except the few Juniors whom the Seniors condescend to let into the secrets of the society for the purpose of its perpetuation. It is Friday morning. The bell has rung, the Sophs and Freshmen come trooping into the dining-room' looking as if they had not a care in the world. The Dean waits patiently for the appearance of his special proteges, the Senior and Junior girls whom he loves to watch as they are so close to him in the dining-room and he is directly between them and those lords of creation known as The Boys. At last a pale and sickly looking Junior enters, she doesn't know what for, certainly not to eat, for such a thing would be impossible. Following her are others looking about the same, new and then, however, we see one trying to put on an air of bravado, but finally subsiding into the dismal gloominess of her class-mates. Last but not least by any means the haughty and unmerciful Seniors slip into the dining-room when the meal is half over, paying no attention to the pleading looks of the Juniors. But what is the meaning of all this strange phenomenon? Simply this-six of the Juniors were given due notification that they had been chosen to share the awful secrets of J. G. G. . The day passes. The victims try to study, to recite, to smile, to play tennis, but nothing is possible except thoughts of what is to come. lt is ten-thirty p.m. The lights are out and the college is in darkness. At the foot of the steps leading up to the sky parlor wherein is the den of J. G. G. are those weeping ones kept company by their less fortunate class-mates. In deep sepulchral tones a name is called, and the owner bids farewell to those around her and tearfully makes her way through the Egyptian darkness up the winding stair to the door-that awful door! She knocks. The door opens. Only the shriek of agony is heard by those left below. The clank of chains, the shrieks of pain and cries for mercy, and then is heard the deep-toned voice reading the rules. Finally the last one is summoned from the arms of her loving friends to pass through the ordeals of J. G. C. Soon after this may be seen the transformed beings sitting round a table, enjoy- ing life and thanking their stars that they have been through the mysteries of J. G. G. 154 16 -W - if nd nd ISI OW ner the nge H ul Lhts ,eps Late her 9115- and rnds ivy' DRAMATICS.

Why Mr. Greasy omitted this epoch-making engagement from his Fifteen Derisive Battles of the World is more than we can understand. The exact cause of the dispute between these pugilists has never been ascertained, but a rivalry for the affection-s of a certainlady, who was at one time in the employ of one of the members of the Faculty, is supposed to have embittered them toward each other. Certain it is, however, that they appeared that evening resolved to do battle to the death be- fore the assembled thousands for the honor of the name and the color of their lady. QNote. This color is supposed to have been slightly Nubian in tingel. The contestants weighed in at 3.30 on the afternoon of the fight and Ireland McCann, the Baltimore Pinch of Snuff, was found to be slightly over-weight, tipping the scales at 73, Troy. He was confi- dent of being able to reduce this before appearing at the ringside, and accomplished it by the somewhat heroic, but alto- gether effectual, method of receiving a hot bath with a vigorous application of soap and sulpho-naphthol. The 'K Pinch H refused absolutely to be etherized for this trying ordeal, but bore the unaccustomed pain with remarkable fortitude. Gertrude Shipley, the Savage String Bean, appeared in the ring attired in a tailor-made gym suit. As Referee Enfield called the men to the center of the ring to receive their final instructions it was seen that the String Bean was at a slight disadvantage. McCann's immense chest and gorilla-like arms seemed to dwarf the proportions of his op- ponent and the betting rose in his favor. It was lowered immediately, however, and a riot nearly started when he an- nounced that he insisted on being allowed to wear his specs during the coming encounter. Round One The fight opened with a rush. McCann started rushing Shipley across the ring, slugging savagely. The String Bean was game, however, and retaliated with three quick lefts which stopped Pinch' in his attempt for a knock-out. Round Two Shipley opened cautiously, and seemed to have the better of it for a short time. He inflicted severalsevere scratches on the Pinch's face and stepped on his toes rather cleverly on three occasions. This scientific fighting seemed to daze McCann, but he retaliated with several vicious pulls of his opponent's ear which made the honors of the round nearly CVGII. 165 Round Three The third and final round was the scene of a terrific encounter. McCann somewhat lessened his chances in the early part of the round by winding his arm around the String Bean's neck and hitting himself in the face. He seemed to understand this later, however, and the fighting became fast and furious. The climax came when Pinch in a moment of passion seized Shipley's nose firmly in his teeth and administered a cruel, cruel, bite to its extremity. Pandemonium broke loose. Amid cries of murder from the String Bean and foul from the audience, the fight was awarded to Shipley and the police were obliged to clear the hall. Alas-McCann had lost. When seen in their dressing rooms after the fight they had little to say. Shipley, with characteristic brevity, talked for four short hours to the reporters, and said as briefly as possible that he intended to sue McCann for mayhem, assault with a dangerous weapon, and several minor counts including desertion and arson. It was left for the defeated Pinch, however, to rise to heights which never could be reached by his victorious rival. His sublime remark when ques- tioned about the ight has gone down in history as the epitome of indomitable pluck and determination coupled with a spirit that knew not how to brook defeat. With folded arms the superb little general cogitated Cwhatever that meansj for several minutes, after being asked the leading question Would you fight him again? At the end of that time he lifted his noble head and a light of almost transcendent beauty flashed across his seraphic face. As we sat breathless he opened his lips and uttered the momentous words which will become famous in history, I would, Yes, and we tiptoed from the room leaving him alone with his dead.

Suddenly Mr. Thompson himself appeared in the amidst of noise and glare and also in his new Schartz Hoffner and Gartz Kollege Kut Klothes for Young Men. The color of the socks, handkerchief, and passionate vest explained the commotion. He strode alongapparently unconscious of the awe-st-ruck, timorons glances of the love-lorn girls on the path. Our reporter screwed up his courage and in a trembling voice humbly begged Mr. Thompson to grant him the favor of a few words. With a bored manner, which he courteously attempted to conceal, Mr. Thompson halted, flicked an in- finitesimal speck of dust from his faultless cravat and said Well, my good man, what can I do for you today? What's that? Reporter for the ALOHA? Oh! Yes, that's the School Annual, isn't it? Well you might quote me as saying that there is not enough attention paid to the correct manner of dressing in this college. It seems to me that these disgusting flannel shirts and ready made clothing should be eschewedf' Our representative quite overcome by the condescension of the great man fell off I-Iering Hall steps with a thud and although he was soon discovered and resuseitatedit was some time before he could give a coherent account of the interview. . , Interview with Mr. Smith As the ALOHA representative knocked on the door of Mr. Smith's room he heard a hurried scufHing within, and when he was finally told to enter, Mr. Smith was discovered diligently perusing the Bible, with a slightly heightened color. Whether a well worn copy of Bella Donna which the ALOHA reporter noticed under the bed had anything to do with Mr. Smitlfs perturbed condition is merely a matter of conjecture. Mr. Smith was very emphatic in his views on college life Qfor publieationj. To my mind the fellows in WVestern Maryland are not sufficiently cognizant of the good uses to which religion may be put. A little shouting over in Y. INI. C. A. goes a long way in the opinion of the faculty and it doesn't really matter whether you are sincere or not long as the professors think you are . Of course I snouldn't like to have it get out but I have found a pious expression to be an immense help in dealing with the members of the Faculty and am only sorry that I did not adopt it earlier in my college course. You may have noticed how extremely moral l 173 have become this year? You may also quote me as saying that I am strongly opposed to the rnastication of tobacco except on Sundays and week-days. Yes, I find that a constant perusal of the Bible is very helpful and besides it looks well when a visitor comes into oneis room. You might have been a member of the Faculty, you know. Drop around again and if I am not too busy preparing my Sunday-school lesson I'll be glad to talk baseball or politics with you. Good morning. Our representative respectfully bowed himself out and as he went down the stairs scratched his head thought- fully and ejaculated, VVhew. Interview with lVlr. Pfitsch The ALOHA reporter slid himself into his best attire preparatory to calling on Mr. Pfitsch. It was with mingled feelings of awe and anticipation that our humble representative knocked on the door of Mr. Pfitsch's room. The door was opened by Lester, the office boy, who bowed politely and said he would see if his master was receiving callers. After a suitable interval Lester came back and admitted our representative to the august presence of VVestern Mary- land's great politician, wire manipulator, lady-killer and orphan asylum. A soft green light, carefully concealed, suffused the room and its contents with a quiet somberness. Countless portraits of beautiful women were scattered about in reckless confusion. On many of these were signatures in round feminine handwriting. The reporter noticed one of them because of its delicacy of thought and superb diction and style: Aw, kid, yuh aint treatin' me right. Mr. Pfitsch met the admiring gaze of our representative and remarked with a knowing wink: Ah, there's many a shattered heart lying in the wake of my career of conquests, but tush, tush, let's not speak of that subject further. The reporter appreciated his inherent modesty and refrained from questioning the great- man on his numerous affairs of the heart. The main object of t-he reporter's visit was to find out how Mr. Pfitsch stood on the recent Y. M. C. A. elections. The substance of the great leader's remarks was as follows: F or years I have been closely in touch with Vlfestern Maryland politics. By great exercise of will power I have kept myself in the background and allowed others to usurp the honors, but you can't keep agood man down and the students have clamored for my name at nearly all the elections latelyf' CNote-By the students Mr. Plitsch meant Lester and the gangj My recent master-stroke in the Y. M. C. A. election is now well known, and although it failed of completion, still, to quote the words of a famous general, 'Nothing was lost but honor,' or something like that. As Lester opened the door for him and kicked the dog out of the way, the poodle being called Jimmie, our reporter filled his lungs with sweet fresh air and sauntered thoughtfully down the hall. . 174 30 ks ld u. it- ed vor FS.
