SUMMERGSCHOOL Chaplain Galligan demonstrated time and again his athletic prowess by defeating at croquet Mistress Helen Campbell, the twelve year old croquet champion of State Street. Gal, for the sake of lllalatra lVIala, has devoted his life to the refutation of the theories of Nietzsche, Darwin, Taussig, Rittenhouse and Kester. How intellectual the Malatra Mala isl Mickey McGunigle, be it known, is preparing again to tour the Foreign Capitals at the head of his Acrobatic Troupe, The Gyroscopic lVIalatras. He gave but one exhibition at Ellsworth, viz: that of bending the knee two ways-Qforward and back- ward. Dr. Parcher said on seeing Mickyls knee-etc., etc. Ponzi Jones, of the 5th for 6thJ U. S. Cavalry CRegular Armyj, accents his middle name on the last syllable-Ber-nard. St. Bernard dogs were given the honor of being named after him, through an official annuneiato of the lVIalatra Mala. Ponzi's coat of arms bears the motto, You work while I sleep. Red Gould, after several years of waiting, was admitted to the Malat1'a Mala. In searching his genealogical record, it was found that his g1'andparent in the eighth generation removed was obliterated from this terrestrial sphere for sheep annexation. Ordinarily, he would be denied admission on the strength of that-but pressure was brought to bear and further study revealed that the noose had slipped and the grand parent had escaped and lived long enough to gather many another sheep into his fold. Red was the only Malatra that we allowed to play on the B.U. Ball Team, except, of course, Meatball Joe lVIcCorry, who is naturally a ball.-player. Baron Kenefick lost two sheets from his portfolio when he missed speaking to an aged lady and a three months' old infant who passed him on lVIain Street,-the only people, it is true, that he ever failed to speak to. Baron generally attended school on Weclnesdzryfs. i Tubba Walsh and Hank Schnoebelen took up their abode at the Chateau Royal. Hank is a wonderful musician, he has six different instruments and is going to learn to play them some day. While in Ellsworth, he received the 6th degree in the Malatra Mala, viz.: the Order of the Fifth Carbunclef' Coming, though he does, from the Woolly West, he is learning rapidly the ways of the effete East and soon will enjoy Boston Baked Beans, the Atlantic Moiitlily and the Howard. Tubba became a com- plete circle when he received his 360th degree in the Archconfraternity. He was also decorated with the Order of the Embalmer's lllate. l Carberg, Worthy Appraiser of the Uninitiated Cohorts, was leased to the Cha- reejas to further unite the bond of friendship existing between the two orders. He was detailed as Oflicial Propagandist of the lVIalatra Mzila, and Wrote regularly and irregularly for the Bangor Commercial, one of the Malatra owned journals. Last in our history is the Chief Malatra Mala, Extraordinary Plenipotentiary with portfolio, Jack W. K. Glynn Cw.k.-well-knownj. Little is known of this unassuming lad except that during the Glynn dynasty, the Archconfraternity has in- creased and multiplied as the Good Book said it should. So far-reaching has been the work of the Malatra Mala that centuries must elapse before it can all be told. 269

SYLLABUS,.1923 . 5 Summer of 1921 came and again did the Malatra Mala journey to Ellsworth. While waiting the erection of a suitable mansion to house the entire Ellsworth Con- clave, we lived at the homes of various townsfolk, ever placing our brothers where they could diffuse the principles of Malatra Mala where they were most needed. Lefty Hobbs, recently appointed Lethargic Comptroller of Poker Paranoiacsf, was sent to the Holmes Estate in order to increase the stability of the Treasury and fas the official dispatch readsj to curb and restrain one 'Cambridge Jack Murray' and one Captain, The Honorable Frank O'Neil, from taking more than their pre- scribed share of silver from Soss Maloney, and from 'O you Eddie' Sexton, to instruct one Melvin Parker in the rudiments of tennis with the ultimate view of promoting a tournamentg and to give to one H. Spud Jennings various dissertations on the 'Handling of Men,' by Leonard Bernard Jones. How strange it must seem to those outside the pale to read of our intrigues, how we laid our plans years in advanceg how we shaped the destinies, not only of Ellsworth but also of old B.U. q But to resume-it is of course a well known fact that the Malatra Mala went to Maine last summer solely to engage in research work. The amazing discoveries of the Malatra Mala while there has completely revolutionized the old order of things. Wliat invention could be more far reaching and at the same time more sinister than the construction by G. Micky McGunigle, B.L., of the Malatragraph, that marvellous machine which can count the number of Hmotes that people a sunbeamf' As great as the Malatragraph was the discovery by Rodni Gould of a process to make cognac out of rain-water--it seems that after years of work Rodni, by adding a quart of cognac to a quart of water gets two quarts of X the unknown. Halo Maker Galligan received orders on the 19th of July to forthwith proceed to the mess hall there to learn the number of calories that each man received daily. Really a devilish job, you know, but Gal went at it with vigor as is his wont, and after two hours' work caught the calorie. He then took said calorie and placed it in the Natural lVIuseum of the Malatra lvlala in Siam. All this naturally explains why the men failed to put on weight after the 19th. We Went to Maine last summer, as l say, mainly to study. Somehow, though, We were inveigled into various athletic tournaments. We were wholly unprepared. Baron Kenelick was sent out at the last moment to procure equipment, but the Baron was not running true to form and returned with only two gloves, three balls, a bat, a bottle of Slikum, and a watch that would not rung a poor day's work for the Baron forsooth,-his fingers are sure stiffening up lately. As l say, having been drawn into these games we must proceed to go through and play for dear old Malatra Mala. Well, we defeated every team that opposed usg never lost a game, seemingly, to the unwashed hordes, a rema1'kable record but-the Malatra's-you know. And at croquet, milord, what a terrible beating we handed out to the Holmes Estate-really it was anything but charitable on our part to so completely baflie them -but there again-the Malatra's, you know. However, so bitterly disgruntled were the said Holmes Estate, that we felt abashedg so we decided to allow the next comer to vanquish us. CLoud Huzzahs for the Malatra Mala.D Who should our next opponent be but Tarzan Lonergan, the Rezoob King. We deliberately suffered defeat at his hands-really noble on our part, but nevertheless distressing, when said Tarzan repeated the story of his victory to all of Ellsworth. 268

SYLLABUS 1923 - ffl HOLMES ESTATE Most of the members of the Holmes Estate arrived a day earlier than the rest of the summer school students. Upon their arrival, or shortly afterward, they went into SESSION Craise you two bits-pass-call yuhj which session was a continuation of the one started on the boat at dawn, and which was only suspended upon reaching Bangor. While the boys were participating in the second session Prof. Bellatty made an unexpected call in his new Ford Sedan to take the new member of the Estate, Frank O'Neil, on a tour of Ellsworth, but Cap declined the Professor's kind offer, giving as a reason that the session was already indebted to him for a considerable amount of his own personal funds, which he was trying to collect at that time. Having been given the usual ovation of three cheers and a tiger, the Great Educator responded with a few remarks of welcome and in summing up he expressed his delight in seeing the boys so actively engaged so early in the summer, instead of hanging around the street corners. The Professor was invited to sit in, but very graciously and judi- ciously declined. It might be also said at this time that Franky did not only collect at the session stated above, but his previous contributions were amply repaid and further augmented by larger donations as the summer went on. After the excitement of settling down and arranging of classes was over the Holmes Estate started their social activities. This was done in a very quiet manner, as it was not desired to let everyone know just what was going to take place. The reason for this was that the members being of the conservative group did not care to have their affairs published, as the class in News Writing were ever on the alert for interesting news items. The most auspicious event of the summer for the Holmes Estate was its victory in the annual baseball classic with the Parker House. This makes the series even between the two houses, the Parker winning the previous summer in a hard fought contest by a close score. This year's battle was also close, the score being I4 to 4, with the Holmes Estate on the winning end. Another game was arranged with the Razoobs, which the latter won, but it was later proved that they used several ringers, and therefore the game was thrown out. The members of the Holmes Estate were Frank Cap O'Neil, Pres. of Holmes Estate Asso. g Hervey Clean Cutw Jennings, who longed to dig potatoes, Jack Mtlrray, who just missed all summer, Eddie Sexton, who was everywhere 3 Stanley Lionel Hobbs, who led the Holmes Estate in the Style Creations, Harold Flivver Golden, the cozy boy, Sauce Maloney, the runt who was always on the go, Mel Parker, the tennis grafter. THE PARKER HOUSE GANG There was Frank and Jim and a pair of Eddies, Hap and aquartette called Bill 'g There was Dan and P and Apostrophe, And Adib, the Kid from Brazil. The first to arrive and the last to leave,-the Parker House Gang. Eddie, the H5100 Sir Walter Raleigh, and his side kick, Dan, alias Vinrouge Blaspheme Ibanez, were the first to break the calm of what looked like a peaceful summer in Ellsworth. They felt sure of a wild session, when, on the first night, they attended a whist party and were introduced to the good Father Gorman. 270
