Anytlzing but lzistory, for liistory must be falsef, -Sir Robert XVulpole Tlze Colonel, having learned through experience the torments of the boarding department. now arrives at school early to Haunt his present freedom before the destitute souls in Uncle Tomls Cabin. First ascertaining a method to calculate an approximation to the correct answers of the physics problems. and then quickly memorizing a wrong interpretation of a poem. Bart marches to another day of battle with the damn Yankees. Nor does he enjoy respite after luncheon, for he can always be goaded into a defense of Southern fried chicken and culture. But his hecklers dare not push Bart too far in their attack on the empire of Jeff Davis. for the Gray Ghost is president of the Rifle Club and a crack shot. And being a Southern gentleman. he might outflank them with the cry.

There is hardly a more fastidious individual to be observed about Landon. Everything from his flat-topped haircut. daily trimmed with an electric razor. to the pitch of his mufllers is adjusted to per- fection. Although the advice of his elders has played an important role in the de- velopment of his sense of values, lloward is in essense a self-made and independent lad. He holds in abeyance a large portion of his earnings in order to meet such emergencies as traffic fines and drought. Howie has a prehensile mind and is con- tinually probing to see to which mode of life he is most readily adaptable. He is constantly changing his brands and girls-a habit which perhaps explains why his academic grades are in a constant state of Hux. 16

My memory is .so bad tlmt many tizmhv I even forge! my men llllllllin -Cl'l'l'llllfl'A Tony has the distinction of having lived so long in the dormitory that he can claim squatterls rights. Having long ohserved the ways hv which former lodgers evaded rules and slipped into town, Bax should he master of those techniques. And so he thought, hut his stars are unpropitious. Infallible stratagems fail Tony: thus, he holds another record-Landon's most campused individual. Indeed, many as- sert that he has never seen Bethesda from September to june. Hence, living in darkness. he necessarily turned to things electrical. Indispensihle to the Drama Club, Tony also found pleasure working on the Dance Committee, for at the dances he saw girls. And later. he often would listen avidly to his classmates' im- plausible stories. Despite all, we predict Tony's success in life, provided he can find his way oil campus. 18
