The time was when lNlouse could hold his younger brother in check, but since then Farley has grown up a bit. The blouse plays in the outfield and is generally conceded to be the luckiest man ever to put on baseball shoes. If there is no other way for him to reach base, the first baseman is usually kind enough to drop dead, oi someone drops the ball, or something else happens. The other day When Mouse slid a base, we heard a clankwhich we think might have been a horse shoe in his pocket. Mouse has not been so very successful in sticking to the O.A.O., 'so it seems. Something seems to happen every once in a while to set him off. Comin' over to the club, black? 'One And Only. I 18 1

Oh, they are all right where they are, and they are not bothering you anyway. Pep's room is a mess of clothes and books. He doesn't pretend to pick them up and never knows where anything is when he wants it. Dames are his delight. Girls fascinate him, boys bore him. He Occasionally comes down to breakfast in time but very rarely. Pep receives letters from his harems in all parts of the United States and always reads them with genuine interest. He doesn't play any musical instrument except the -lew's harp, but that is plenty for the members of the Commons. lVhen it comes to football Pep is there as he is in track and basket ball. He has been almost annihilated several times by his fellow students for his insisting on wearing a cake-eater's garb, but has managed to withstand the onslaught of the mob so far.

Barney always drags in with an average that sounds like an advertisement for Ivory soap. Whether Barney studies hard or whether he just has that reputation is rather hard to tell, but we suspect it's the former. Barney has no bad habits, in which trait he is like a disgustingly large number of the class. He is more or less of at woman hater, but we would like to know about that little blonde girl, who came out tothe Sophomore dance with him. Barney knows all about the iish business, which is convenient on Fridays, inasmuch as we always know what we're getting. This Winter Barney brought his mathematical mind to bear on spec , with the result that he soon became a prodigyg but this triumph was short-lived, for XYatkins snatched his title right back. If Barney is remembered for no other reason he will be remembered for his laugh. Wrhen he latihs, he starts in by making low moans, meanwhile shaking all over. The moans rise to a shrill cackle: the shaking grows worse 1 then the disturbance subsides. The Whole performance reminds one of a volcanic eruption. XYhy, I haven't a prayer of making the honor roll this month. No chance at all. i 19 1
