Sole survivor of the Senior Higii School Class of ’16. Tom is a very determined person, and to ])rove our point it is only neces- sary to say that out of a class of forty memhers that started with liiin in “prep” Tom is the only one remaining. His athletic procliv- ities have hrought him numerous friends, and he is at present un- dertaking the stupendous task of introducing golf to the students of the college. There is one pe- culiar trait in his character winch lias earned for him th e name “Silent.” Tom never starts a con- versation, it is for the other per- son to make himself known; but once engaged he soon expresses his opinion. For quite a while he has been called “Silent Tom.” “Tom the Quiet,” hut this is due more to his l)aslrfulness than to liis inability to s] eak, for we know he can converse on any subject from football to etics. However, in his silence, we know him as a fine fellow, always extending a helpful hand to someone in distress. Tom is equally happy in scliool as U])on the football field. For ])re- vious years hear evidence of his work. The class medals of So})ho- more, the Analytical Chemistry Medal, a medal for English and several l)remiums are claimed by him. He can in one breath tell us the hatting averages of the home team for a week ahead of time, and in the next breath declare a thesis on the freedom of the will to be false. Ye do not know what profession Tom will take up after leaving us, for the same reason that he never has told us. But whatever i)ro- fession he takes up, we can point to him as a gentleman, a sch.olar, and a sociable fellow. Tom, we wish that the success you have thus far ileserved will remain with you always, and may you succeed in the pro- fession of your choice for we know you have the ability. 9

nbprgraJiuatP Ollaaa Natpa dlmttnr Behold the class. We are rather proud of this Junior class of ours hut our modesty will not permit making known our reasons. You need not ask the professors concerning the matter for they too are reticent on such things. But, as 1 was saying, we are proud of our class and you will be also, after you are acquainted with tlie capal)ilities of its mem- hers. “Paper, beadle, that 1 may introduce these notables.” But who is the beadle? Why Charlie. Surely you know Charlie Bohleder? He who travels from South Baltimore daily and performs his duties as conscientiously and punctiliously as possible. Indeed, if it were not for Charlie we would frequently be carried from one period into another on a “cause and effect” wave of the professor’s. But these elucidations always seem to produce the same ctf ect on Charlie, “time is time.” Introductions being in order, let me present Harry. Besides being a member of the Triumvirate (Oh yes, we have historical characters) “Sorrel,” as you can judge by the title, has a suit of hair that goes most beautifully with a purple tie and an aptitude for clever retorting which runs him aground at inopportune times. He is a staunch friend of the “we-three.” “Why, that’s Lacy.” He is also a member of the Triumvirate and the strategist of the union. While not given much to conversation in class, they say he has taken to insm’ance as a side line and is also frequently seen with focused glasses at the Lack. “Hot water. Father!” Don’t be alarmed — just another Charlie. “Cooly” and chemistry have been for long old friends and he is making the best of a bad case. If “Cooly’s” tlieories worked out, objective idealism would be a panacea for all ills. While being strongly a theorist, he holds that he walks along the Appian Way (Lexington Street) as the shortest route home. That tall fellow with the sombre mien is “Larry.” A true philoso- pher is “Larry.” A solver of all difficulties. He can tell you all about “being,” whether it is physical, metaphysical or mental; he can argue on the universality of concepts, and the objective validity of our ideas. Whatever is philosophical is referred to “Larry.” “I have an objection to that last thesis. Father.” “Mr. Egan has an objection, gentlemen.” Joe seems to be the only fellow who can claim 11
