etgfjifg SUMMER soHooL DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER The clambake-sweet memories-at Lamoine, given by the Ellsworth Board of Trade, no trouble at all to remember that. We were taken to Lamoine in cars of various makes, shapes and ages as the great journalist, Carberg, reported in the Bangor Commercizzl. And how we did eat!!! The feed was served '21 la Douglas' Cagain quoting the journalistj-bushels of claims, tubs of chowder, coffee and ginger ale and hundreds of doughnuts disappeared before the fierce attack of the seemingly starving studentsf' Noble lines and true. Though eating came last, it was the most important part of the ceremony, so in telling our story, we tell it first. Eddie Miilkerii, of course, is the sponsor of this idea. Two baseball games were played-one in which the Parker House put the proverbial hooks into the Holmes Estate amid cheers that reverberated from Soeur de Mont Springs to Nicolin. The other game in which the Chareejas were swamped by our faculty, aided by ringers from Washington, will be told elsewhere. Pep gave an exhibition of fancy swimming directly after the game. However, he was taken up by the Harbor Police, who, mistaking his plodders for boats, took him in for having said boats unregistered and uglicensed. -:ie we we Austin Waldorf Kenehck, 5th Baron of Shatta Hall, figured heroically at a fire at the pulp mills at Ellsworth Falls. While assisting Hank Schnoebelen move his other suit and things to the new domicile of the Malatra Mala, Austin heard the fire alarm. Dashing madly up the street, he made a Hying leap into the hose cart as it rounded the corner bound for the Falls. On arriving at the fire, the Baron took charge, assisted by Lieutenant Tubba Walsli and Spud Jennings. A bucket brigade was formed and before one could count to six billion, the fire was out. That afternoon Austin put in a request for a regulation uniform as the white flannel trousers and pongee shirt which he wore on the day of the fire were hardly suitable for fire fighting. sg M ae at The Wingate Flying Esquadrille, composed of Dick Bostwick, the Earl of Burgess and the Earl of Wingate, executed a nose dive at Hancock Point in Wingate's Airplane model Ford. , - No one was hurt but the propeller and several wings and things about the Ford were wrapped tightly around a huge pine tree which stood directly ahead. A blind corner was responsible for the accident. A wrecking crew, under Hervey Jennings, disentangled the car and brought it home in many pieces. Winnie has written to Henry Ford concerning the possibilities of fiivver Hying. ue are in ue According to Andy Miller, most of the crowd who attended the show, Uncle Josh Simpkins, missed the real entertainment. Andy said, You should have sat in the front row where you could see the off-stage manoeuvres. The nonchalant manner of Hezekiah as he came on the stage after pulling up his own curtain, and Uncle Josh behind the scenes casually picking his teeth while his son Caleb, on stage, approached a gory death by a buzz saw-this was real entertainment. The rest of the bunch, however, got their entertainment out of the man who sang the ancient classic, Sweet Hortensef' Encore, prompted by B. U. men, followed encore and the performer CU sang parody after parody until the perspiration poured from his face. He was getting a great hand and he did his best to gratify an audience which he thought was hungry for more. Truly it was an evening of entertainment, but the crowd was not game and gently but firmly made it manifest to him that their enjoyment was at his expense. 275

SYLLABUS 1923 I Sidney Bryant, who is a happy Benedict, was received into the order as Custodian of the Better Half. Eddie Lord, than whom none was better on the diamond, was weighted down with the grand cognomen of Modest Guardian of the Western Corner. James A Plus Davis, a member of the S.S.U., who modestly wore his Croix de Guerre with several palms, was hailed as Sublime Ancient Chieftain of the Mystic Order of Chareejasf' Dick Faulkner-- Grenadier Extraordinary and Official Photographer Cwith boll- weevilj never failed to write a twenty-page letter to his tweetie every day. Al Woodbury, Tamer of the Moving Socks and Distributor of the IOM Root Beer Cnuf 'cedj. Laomi Thomas, Grand Hullabazo Buzzoon and Plucker of the lVIodest Violet. O fie!! He's a married man with a family. What a wonderful aggregation. Surely with such titles they should succeed, so let us hope that the Summer of 1922 will see them all back at the little white school house on the hill. OLD MAN RUMOR I hear we are leaving tomorrow. . They say our pay is going to be raised. Yah! I just heard the Looie say we're going back to a Rest Camp tomorrow. I hear there's 30,000 Marines in Reserve about a mile back. I understand we're going to have wine rations next month. Well, I hear that Peace is to be declared. Sure, we're being relieved tonight. Yes, I hear we're going home next week. Sure, the orderly says he heard the doctor tell the major, etc. Did you hear that we are going to be sent back to the States as Drill Masters? Just heard that the Ump Division retreated in disorder and the Boche is liable to break through here. , Yah, Edison invented a new gas. One shell filled with it will, etc. , Sure, they say we are going into Germany now, etc. an rr an wr Remember Old Man Rumor-sure you do-he did a hitch in every outfit that existed. He was with the ISI and 9ISf Divisions, on the destroyer and on the dread- nought, with Napoleon's and Ceasar's Legions, and he had ears like a mule. He worked overtime and enjoyed it. We thought that when the Guerre was finis, O.M.R. was finis too, but no! He's at C.B.A. and his line is the same. I hear we can go to school as long as We want. We all get out to work next week. We get paid tomorrow. Our checks are being held up a week. Did ya hear what happened to a guy at Parker Hill? They say We have to return all our books when we finish. I understand our pay is to be cut to 580. I hear our pay is to be raised to S1 IO. And so on day after day. Some time let us hope before the next war, we'll read- Old Man Rumor, of International fame, had his tonsils cut at Parker Hill recently. The operating surgeon had his knife to slip causing a severance of O.M.R.'s vocal cords. The several orderlies and pill chasers were called ing nothing could be done and the Old Man has spread his last report. R.I.P. 274 4-ni..

SYLLABUS 1923 I , y You have heard of fishing trips but inhale this one. PROLOGUE Cap O'Neil, L. Pitcher and James A. Davis make a small bet as to who is the best fisherman. - ACT I All three men on the fishing grounds-shouts from Cap- A monster bass-that big fthree feetj broke off my line just as I had him landedlll' ACT II James A Plus appears from behind the bushes with a large bass. ACT III Atmosphere Pitcher hooks a large eel in whose mouth is a hook and line which exactly matches Frank O'Neil's line. ACT IV V Weigliing of eel and bass at Lem Hawk's Crossroad Store. Davis's fish weighs a fraction more than Louis'. Re-weighing of fish-this time Louis at the scales. He lifts Jim's bass and out drops three pounds of lead sinkers. EPILOGUE Natives of Ellsworth biting two silver quarters recently received for a three- pound bass from a tall gentleman with a moustache. MORAL i No, not very. The ball game with U. of M. Ball Team, when their pitcher wound up like an alarm clock before delivering the ball, was the occasion for the formation of a new B.U. cheer. It has been used since then on any provocation, athletic, social or political. It goes this way: O-YOU-STUM-CKE-COO-COO ! !! Let us gaze into the crystal ball and see what the future holds!!! Harry Stumcke buying cigarettes. George Davis joining the Watch and Ward Society. Baron Kenefiek without his goggles. Frank Horrigan without his smile. Tarzan Lonergan WITH a shave. Joe Galligan without his coat or O.D. shirt on. Bill McGinnis without Joe French. Earl of Burgess without a pipe in his mouth. Madame Fothergill minus Apollo Owen. Grafting Walter Dolliver without an idea or an order. Prof. Babb using monosyllables. Blondie Trainor tal-king slowly. Aw!! Bust up that crystal ball - THOSE THINGS WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!! The smoker given by the Faculty at the end of the school term is one long to be remembered. Frank Horrigan did the honors as chairman and the opening number was the presentation of a Silver loving cup to Blind Tom Cloonan, Umpire of B.U. baseball games. The Presentation Speech was made by Professor Babb, who in the best of Queen's English praised the umpire's sterling qualities and declared himself in full accord with the fans of Ellsworth, Seal Harbor and Franklyn, who were said to have been responsible for this useful and beautiful gift. 276
