This boy was certainly cutout for a football player. NVhy, he can do more kicking in five minutes than ten mules or football players can in five years. They wanted to hire him at the Academy of Music to play thc ghostin Hamlet, but the manager was afraid that he might scare the, audience too much by his stern reality. Ile can sing, too--oh, yes g but we will not say anything about that. JAMES T. CASEY. Member Carrollton-Wight Literary Society. Casey at the bat. Ile is a full-fledged Irislnnan with literary aspirations, and hopes some day to be the pride' of Canton, and to do a great many things on the stump for the Democratic party. He answers the teachers like he is scared to death whenever he is called upon, but the Irish luck is with him always and he manages to pull through year after year, although he doesn't know much. NVhen- ever he is late he tells F. A. S. that a coal car broke down on the car track, thus delaying his car from Canton Hollow. The story is rather stale, but with a few trimmings it still passes muster. 27

Member Carrollton-Wight Literary Societyg Ath- letic Association '02-'O3g Secretary Carrollton-Wight '04g Class Football Team 'O4. Prof. Norris loves this boy. He can work out more enigmas with x-I-ylin them than any fellow in the class. Ile doesn't mind study in tl1e leastg the fact is he likes it. Why he has even been known to look up the notes in French. Comes from the country a11d it is generally sup- posed that this is the way he puts in his time instead of doing chores. There are tricks in all trades. liflflglllilll would be a line chap though if it were not for his love of shoving ice down fellows' backs in the Lab. Here we irc forced to sa5 with Barnum, Hxvllilt is It? 'l We candidly admit we don't know. It never talks, occa- sionally grins, and has been' seen to walk! It has been a mystery to a number of the students how It spends Its time. We are sure It don'tstudyg don't know how It could have the heart to speak to a female. Then, what the thunder does It do? Whenever It recites It bites lt'slips, looks wise, grins, and then confidently informs the Prof. that really It don't believe It knows the solution to the question. St. Peter will have to look out, else It is going to grease through the golden gates, and then he is going to have a silent member in the Celestial Choir! 26

THE GREEN BAG ALAN M. CHESNEY, D.O.B. Member Carrollton-Wight Literary Societyg Ath- letic Associationg President Carrollton-Wiglit 'O4g Treasurer Carrollton-Wight '03 5 Treasurer Athletic Association '04-'05g Xmas Play Committee '04-'05g Lacrosse Teamg '05g Morgan Medal Committee '04g Usher Contest '04. The Mellin's Food boy-Rosy cheeks, blue eyes, yellow hair, shapely and plump ngureg in fact he is what you call a perfect lad-I mean man. He is an exceptionally bright young man of high attainmentsg is a great dunner and can make the Athletic Association members pay up in great style. If you have ever noticed a distressed look on his face don't blame it on his teachers, but on a certain little lady, because he is hopelessly in love. CWe know it for we've seen her picture in his watch.D JACOB COHEN. Member Class 1905. Little jaky ! Finest little boy in the school. Some- times he gets real nasty and says things in the classroom. He wasn't so awful bad the first two years, but now he is positively horridg why the other day he spoke outright in front of the teacher without tl1e slightest provocation, You can't stump him on any wordof the latin vocabulary. NVhy he even knows some that are not there. When you ask him a question and he doesn't dare to answer you right out for fear of being caught, he shrugs his shoulders just too dear for anything. 28
