We have aimed to make this hook the hest, and, after many months of hard work, present it for the approval of the students and their friends. We hope it will linger for many years to come, and that the students, in reading over its pages, will recall the happy days spent at Marston's. A oolnme of this kind is the only genitine method in which to reveal the character of each senior, as they are in a heneficial position of in- timaqf to discover the good and wanting good qualities of one another. THE EDITOR To the Memory gf WILLIAM STAPLES MARSTON 7 7 1 As a last token of APPRECIATION, FRIENDSHIP, and HONOR, the Class of 199.9 affectionately dedicates this book.

EEN has not been a member of our class for long, but in this short duration of time has made a place for himself in the athletic annals of the school as he was one of the stars of the soccer team of the past season and is practically assured of a defense position on the lacrosse team. - To Teen must go the credit for introducing billiards into the list of the school's pastimes, still a team has not yet been organized, but, if the increasing number of candidates continue to report to practice in his billiard room, the athletic director will soon be forced to give our tender pastime his official recognition. In his idle moments, which are numerous indeed, Teen may be seen draped over a chair in the back-room, for he is a member of that noble band of youths who make periodical visits to it, a decided attribute, we all agree.

HIS young man has been the outstanding footballer for the past three years, concluding his brilliant prep career as the All-Maryland fullback for the past season. He has not only conlined his athletic prowess to the gridiron, as he has been among the foremost on the lacrosse and soccer teams, captaining the latter for two Vears. Tom has also been surprisingly successful in the realm of finance, for he has executed the job of business manager to both the REGISTER and HOWLETT, and, as neither was sold at a sheriff's sale, his place in finance is well assured. Many of the children in the lower classes have been shown the error of their ways by Tom in the role of student councilor. Many have received their just punish- ment, meted out to them by the sterling hair, namely, his good right arm, and the ever-faithful Hard Seater. It has also been rumored around the campus that Tom is married, but we cannot vouch for the veracity of this statement. Good-bye, Tom, and the best of fortune from your classmates.

At any recess he may be seen flinging himself from some lofty perch doing a swan dive into some spectator's arms, or a breath-taking and graceful iackknife into exactly zero feet of water. Mr. Carter is the only known living authority on the famous proverb of the medieval Germans, Aufgabe gewesen ist, which according to his much respected theory means nothing at all. If any member of the Six Form is ever in need of a little cheering-up, he will invariably and without fail wend his way to the back-room where the comedy team of Carter and Carter will serve him a concoction of jokes and wise-cracks fit to chase anyone's blues away. , Presley has not confined his matchless daring to mere acrobatic stunts, but used it to gain for himself the reputation of the most fearless and versatile linesman in the gridiron history of the school. P has quite a personality, is liked by all, and we feel sure that he will be a success at whatever vocation he might choose.

He has succeeded to advertise it enough in Marston's that the boys have decided not to honor his town with their presence. We all have heard of a country boy coming to the City. Well, Charlie was one of these, but in a very short time became quite accustomed and satisfied with Baltimore, and has proven to be one of the best fellows we have ever known. Poolesville has surely missed him, but will be proud of his return after being away four years. He has also distinguished himself in football, lacrosse, and soccer, being a mainstay in each and displaying a clean, brilliant game. We predict great things for Charlie whether he settles in Poolesville, New York, or Kalamazoo, and wish him the best of luck.

The good-looking youth featured above is a true son of Erin, and was indeed, born on that beautiful emerald isle. All this, no doubt, accounts for his unfailing sense of humor which he has so skillfully injected into many of the dramatic club performances of the past. One might think that the cries for hot water, towels, and the like, hurled at him in the position of football manager, would ruHle his temper, and, indeed, we are sure they would ruffle ours if we were in his place, but do they annoy him? Positively: no. He ignores them all as any football star could testify. I-lere's predicting a' bright future for Allan, and, in closing, it will be only htting to say Ireland forever.

He forages for his food in the A. 84 P. and Doc's store, where he was caught after a long and hard chase. And now, friends, you have the privilege of viewing for the first time in any public appearance, Mr. John Hayward. We thank you. In spite of all this ballyhoo, John is not a side-show freak, as one may think, but a respected member of the back-roomers and the bridge-brigade.

ACKIE is not only the oldest member of the class, but is also the shortest, and has been so ever since we can remember. But shortness is no handicap because he always knew his lessons, and especially did he take pains to do his Latin for Mr. White. Jack is undecided as to what profession he vvill follow, but there is a rumor that the University of Maryland will have the honor of his presence in its pharmacy school, vvhich means, that upon finishing, he will offer for sale to the public, hair- pins, bread, Washing machines, inner tubes, tires, rubber pants, and all the other necessary things of the drug store. He has already had experience managing the soccer team, which should aid him a great deal in the management of his future drug store, and also assistant business manager of the Register in '18, which will prove a great help to him. At any time Jackie may be seen displaying a hearty smile, in fact We have never found him in a grouchy mood. This is because he is free from worry and doesn't take matters too gravely. Jack feels that he has given enough of his time to Marston's, therefore he has decided not to return for his once thought of post-graduate course.

In spite of all this he is a very likable chap when not in a fighting pose, which is rather often, and frequently caused by such remarks as: Have you heard the one about the Scotchman who went into the five-and-ten-cent store and asked to be directed to the furniture department? However, this temporary wrath may be calmed by offers of treating him at the store. Bobby has done more than his share toward making the school dances the successes that they unfailingly are, and not enough praise can be given him for his services on this committee. As an athlete, the aforesaid Bobby has been indispensable to the various teams on which he has played, namely, the football team and the lacrosse team especially. Bobby has also won the championship in African Golf, an honor which was not fought over the velvet turf of St. Andrevv's, nor over the fairways of Brae Burn, but in our own club, the cherished back-room.

I-le graduated in '18 but fortunately returned to Marston's for another year to make his prep school education more thorough. We are not so sure of his better cognizance by thus doing, but we are certain that without him the football team would not have been as bright, We should not overlook the fact that jimmy played his best game of the season against Dunham's with a broken rib. This occurrence will long be remembered in the history of the school. He is also an able defense man on the lacrosse team and a mainstay with soccer. Arguing is Jimmy's best profession and in that he cannot be surpassed. No one knows better than Mr. Woodruff, for he and Jimmy become energetically involved at least once each day. Jim should have no misfortune with the outside world, for, if he becomes impaled, his nerve will send him through. Here's hoping him luck and that he continues to be a good fellow.

Luckily Champ is not conceited over this, and is positively as human as you or l, in fact he is so natural and unassuming that if one had not been informed that he is a Beau Brummel, one would not realize it by his conversation. As one might have suspected by this time, Champ is a fast youth, but he utilizes this speed only in the best fashiong such as playing end on the sterling football team of the past season. We can only hope that this speed vvill be as valuable to the lacrosse squad as it was in turning plays on the gridiron last fall. Champ is an earnest worker, and We feel certain that a place of honor awaits him in the student body of St. John's.

IN the course of Georgie's career at Marston's he has won for himself the honor of being the only boy who can ask the most foolish questions in the least time. In fact he has compiled his own volume of Ask Me Another, which can be had for the asking. This is being done to advertise his great ability and will last for a limited time only. Pack is Mr. White's sole Greek scholar, who, we predict, in a short time, will be superior to the teacher himself. He is studying the ancient language as he expects to become a preacher, and a good one too. Now, let's stop kidding Georgie and say something nice about him. He has made a great showing in both football and lacrosse, to say the least of soccer, owing to his speed and endurance, which is a great asset to any athlete. We have never seen a run around Pack's end, nor have we seen his lacrosse opponent outrun him. That is something few can boast. He is going to St. John's, and, if his plans mature, he should make a great name in athletics and even Greek. Here's predicting a bright future for George provided that he refrains from too much talk. Remember, George, Think twice before you speak, then say it to yourself. It's a good policy to follow.

He has also played lacrosse for the like number of years, and his value to the team can only be expressed by recalling his election as captain of the '19 team. The back-room and the adjoining porch are his native haunts, but on special occasions he may be stirred suHiciently to attend a class or two, and when this happens, look out for A's and B's.

RIDGELY entered school in 1911, a baby, and unfortunately has remained so during his term of seven years at Marston's. He always, in his own mind, appears to know more upon any given subject than anyone else, but really is quite ignorant of the facts concerning it, and does not hesitate to speak his momentary thoughts without debating them with himself. As a student Ridgely could be one of the best, but he habitually neglects his work for some unknown reason, which even he is unable to explain. He is perfect in excuses, for instance, wallpapering his home was the cause of his not preparing Latin. We have slightly depreciated Ridgely, for he is a rather good fellow on becoming acquainted with him, possessing both a warm heart and the desire to aid his class- mates and friends.

We have been unable to discover much concern- ing him, but have found out that he can play football, although he is rather short and light. Immediately upon his arrival he took over the vacant position of quarter- back on the team and executed his duty very vvell. i During his first month or so of attendance, Dud would be seen arriving at school, usually late, with Bobby Macdonald, but it happened one day that Bobby's Ford became ill, and big-hearted Dudley proceeded on his Way home. Soon after he arrived at school in his own Ford, which no one seemed to know about. Ever since he has deserted Bobby and continued to travel incognito. Snitz's athletic ability is not limited alone to football as he has won for himself a place on the lacrosse squad, and played a very brilliant game of soccer this past season. Bezb.'

WATERMAN A The HOWLETT - 1929 Q-nfs?-,fa DANCES HE past season was probably the more brilliant socially than any other ever before attempted by the school, having been unusually successful and enthusiastically patronized by Baltimore's younger set. The formal dances of December twenty-fourth and the second of April might indeed be said to have reached the zenith of perfection for social functions of the sub-deb order, both of which have become the highlights of all social affairs. The attendance of these two dances was enormous to make them the prosperous issue that they undoubt- ably Were, and too much praise cannot be conferred upon the dance committee and their advisor, Mr. Woodruff. The curtain will be lowered by the Sixth Form dance, an informal affair, on the evening of graduation, and we can only predict that it Will lack none of the traditional spirit which ever attends this last gathering of the graduates. P f44l S. ATHERTON MIDDLETON Cami: The HOWLETT - 1929 ec-97939. SPORTS HE past football season was the greatest Mar- ston's has enjoyed in years, tying The Boys' Latin School for first honors in the B conference of the Maryland Inter-Scholastic League. Although legally tying the rivals, there is still a superior atti- tude in the minds of the players, as the Latinists re- fused to accept a challenge by us, and for this reason Marston's is perfectly justified in claiming the championship. The above is not all Marston's can boast, for, at the close of the season, a letter arrived at the school notifying Captain Tom Bosley that he was wanted at the stadium for the All-Maryland picture which was to appear in the Sunday Sun two weeks hence. When the picture appeared in the paper, we found written after Tom's name, Best Bet. This is the first time in the history of the Marston School that anyone has been placed on the All-Maryland football team, and it is indeed an honor for both the school and Tom to be greatly proud of. A On November twenty-fifth last the annual football dinner was held at the school during which letters were awarded and elections took place. The return of the election was as follows: Captain of lacrosse 1919, Al Plitt, manager of lacrosse 1919, John Cooney, captain of football 1919, Bill Struveng and manager of football 1919, John Cooney. Shortly after the close of the football season, soccer was ushered in as a new sport at Marston's with Mr. Thomas, a very able player at one time, and a competent coach, taking charge. As a new diversion of the field soccer is making a tremendous stride to become a major sport at the school in a few years. Lacrosse began early in March with the entire last year's team returning, with the exception of two, and many newcomers. With this great array of men available, a championship team is predicted by those associated with lacrosse at Marston's. Boasting of such efficacious players as Al Plitt, captain of the team, Tom Bosley, Bobby Macdonald, and Jimmy McCabe, all of three to four years' experience, Mar- ston's should be at the top of the league when the season concludes. Heretofore Mr. Middleton has coached lacrosse, but unfortunately he has ac- cepted a position as coach at the University of Penn, and Kelso Morrill, former Hopkins player and Mt. Washington star, has replaced Mr. Middleton. It is a sad occurrence to be deprived of such a coach as Mr. Middleton, but the team will have to make the best of it. Mr. Mid- dleton is one of the best coaches in the country, and certainly should be successful with his new project at Penn. We know he will have success, and hope there is abundance of grass for him to eat.

JOHN'S 0 The season opened on October 11, with St. John's Junior Varsity at Annap- olis, who outweighed Marston's by a large margin, but were inexperienced along the technical points of football, and con- sequently we had no trouble in conquering them. Five minutes after the opening whistle Al Plitt crashed their line for a touchdown, but failed in the extra point. The second and third quarters were a continual fight between the two teams, but the last quarter opened our offense with some brilliant passing from Captain Tom Bosley to Bill Struven, the latter taking the ball from an aerial to the ten-yard line, after which Tom put it over in two plays. The extra point was kicked by Plitt, thus ending the game soon after. MARSTON 6 MCDONOGH 6 McDonogh was encountered on October 19, which was expected to be the hardest game of the season, and certainly came up to our expectations. The first quarter was a hard battle of line bucking on the part of both teams until the op- ponents' fullback got loose around end and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. A few minor injuries were received during the first half, but that put no delay in the fighting Marston team. As the second half began Bosley broke loose on a trick play through center, and ran twenty-five yards for our first score. An attempted pass for the point after touchdown failed and the teams continued to battle up and down the field, neither scoring. . MARSTON so DoNALDsoN 0 On November 7. Donaldson journeyed to Ruxton only to be defeated by an over- whelming victory of a more experienced team than they. In the third play Bosley E501 The HOWLETT - 1929 1:5717-hwy suffered a slight concussion which neces- sitated his removal for the remainder of the game. This casualty was quite a blow to the team, but did not aEect its scoring ability as Tom was replaced by George Packard, who displayed some surprisingly spectacular runs and tackles. The whole team Worked well together, having no trouble in scoring at will. MARSTON 25 FRIENDS 6 The week following the Donaldson game Marston's entertained Friends School at Ruxton with no complexity in defeating the rivals although another catastrophe was suffered by the Marston team, that is, Pee Pee Rupp received a broken col- larbone by blocking a kick soon after the start, which removed him from the field for the remainder of the season. This was a great loss to the team as Pee Pee was one of the best linesmen, covering much space by his largeness. With Bosley hitting the line, Plitt running the end, and Davis' great tackling ability, the opponents were perplexed as to what defense to use against this driving attack. MARSTON 6 DUNHAM'S 6 As is the custom, the Marston-Dunham's game concludes the season, so on November 16 we opposed them at Mt. Washington on a slow, muddy field which was quite a hindrance to our fast, cluding back-field. The first half was noticeable in its steadiness and lack of excitement, however, the second made up whatever de- hciencies the first had. Dunham's made the first score, and it remained so until the last three minutes of play when Tom Bosley on six consecutive off-tackle plunges penetrated their line to tie the score. The try for point went under the rod by inches, thus the score remained tied at the final whistle, and also a tie between Marston's and Dunham's for the championship of the league. 'lsll The HOWLETT - 1929 QSVCSYLN9 mga Pierrepont Adams This was Pierrepont's first year of football, but he played very well at end, lacking experience, of course, but improving toward the close of the season. His chief char- acteristic was aggressiveness, being in every play and performing his best at all times. Thomas Preston Bosley Tom was the team's strongest player, and also its captain. He could punt with considerable skill, pass well, and buck the line without equal. After much hard work throughout the season, he landed a position on the All-Maryland eleven, which is enough to prove his football ability. Samuel Stansbury Brady Stansbury is a rather small fellow to play football, but, nevertheless, he was quite loyal to practice and deserves much credit for this although being a sub for an end position. Next year will be a great one for him on the gridiron. Presley Austin Carter Presley, after an absence from the team for a year on account of illness, returned to fill his regular position as guard, and may we take this opportunity to say that he was, without a doubt, the best guard in the state, although this was overlooked by the pickers of the All-Maryland eleven. As a tackler Presley could be surpassed by no one and never failed to make a hole in the line for the back-field. Charles Horace Davis Charlie was one of last year's veterans, a tackle, and of the best stock although light, he was fearless and invaluable to both the defense and oHense. This was the first year that Charlie shined because, heretofore, he was too light to withstand the knocks of a football game. James Gordon McCabe Jimmy is one of the oldtimers, a part of the team just as Al Plitt or Tom Bosley, a sort of permanent fixture. He has been the best punter for two seasons, a thing for which he should be proud as his teammates are. Starting the season at guard, he was found to be a better center, and thus he remained. lsll The HOWLETT - 1929 G'E?'Q'Q9 Robert Webster Macdonald Bobby showed up well at tackle, being erratic at times and unable to control his temlper, which is quite a hindrance to one desirous of making a football star, but we pre ict that he will outgrow this baby trait before long. When Bobby was not fighting or begrudging one of his opponents, he displayed a fairly good game. Champlain Smith Packard This was Champ's first year of football, and owing to his speed and endurance made a great end, turning plays with ease and catching passes as if he had learned it from childhood. His inexperience caused his actions on the field to be quite humorous at times, therefore a hearty laugh was enjoyed by the spectators. George Frederick Packard George played a game on the par with Champ, fulfilling an end position, and, whenever a back-field man was needed, George was called upon to fill the vacancy. Albert Howard Plitt, Jr. Al was a veteran of many seasons, havin utilized the half-back position for four years, and boasting as the oldest member ofg the team. He could run a broken field well and bring down passes with unerring hands. His greatest asset was his speed, and it can be said without hesitation that he is the fastest boy in school, displaying a clean, brilliant game throughout his career. John Ridgely Retzer Q Ridgely was unable to make a regular position on the team, but that did not impair him, for he always had hopes of showing his ability, and he could be relied upon to do his best whenever this occurred. Robert Martin Rupp Pee Pee was a newcomer at Marston's, but was a veteran at football, having played before at the Hagerstown High School. Two hundred and ten pounds, broad shoulders, large back, and all muscle, is sufficient testimony for his ability as a footballer. It was a sad blow to the team when Pee Pee suffered a broken collar bone in the Friends game. Charles Griffith Sellman Charlie was a fearless linesman. He has played for two seasons and has proven himself to be a guard who can charge with speed and strength, amazing for one of his stature. J. William Struven, Jr. Bill, the captain-elect, is one of the hardest working boys of the team. He takes football with a seriousness that is almost amusing, however, his work has borne fruit, for he has won a loving cup offered by Mr. Middleton as the best interferer. Dudley Eugene Snyder Dud came the day of the St. John's game, and Mr. Middleton used him in the lineup, which caused everyone to marvel at his line plunging and end runs. He was a dependable back, although subject to be punch drunk, but that is no handicap, for he knows all the tricks of the game.

QT9 LACROSSE WING to the fact that THE HOWLETT goes to the press early in March, it is impossible to report any of the coming lacrosse games, as it is played in the late spring. Four years ago lacrosse saw a new era in athletics at Marston's to replace baseball, and after its first year became a major sport. Since the beginning of the game, Marston's has surprisingly advanced to a championship team, which is a splendid record for a game being only four years old. Last year, 1918, we entered the interscholastic league, to finish third as the team's ability was remarkably great. The outlook for the ensuing season is the brightest the school has enjoyed since the introduction of the game, having the entire '18 squad returning with the exception of two men, all of whom are both able and experienced, playing and training together for two years. judging from these great possibilities Marston's should, no doubt, have the best team in the state although a rigid schedule has been arranged by Managerjohn Cooney, including Friends, the winners last year, Poly, City, and Severn, all of which usually have excellent teams. There will be two games played out of the city this spring, namely, St. John's Junior Varsity, a yearly occurrence, and the Uni- versity of Penn Freshmen, which is a new relation to us in athletics, and we trust it will prove successful. OHicial practice began March sixth under the direction of the new coach, Kelso Morrill, who has succeeded Mr. Middleton, now coaching the University of Penn. Elsewhere our regrets have been expressed over the loss of Mr. Middleton, therefore it is needless to write further concerning this. With Al Plitt captaining the team, John Cooney as manager, and such players as Charlie Davis, our best defense man, George Packard, an able center man, Sellman, another defense man, Tom Bosley, a flashing in-home, and John Hayward, called by some the best goalie in the state last year, lacrosse should be as successful as the past football season. E561 The HOWLETT - 1929 Qefqaig THE DRAMATIC CLUB HE Marston Dramatic Club has been decidedly active during the season of'9.8 and ,2.9. The players began their season with the production of two one-act plays, which served to introduce several new character actors to the public. Lord Dunsany's A Night in an Inn, a phantastical mystery by the well-known English author, was very well received, partly because of the capable acting of Harry Keating, Webster Kefauver, George Packard, and Pierrepont Adams. The Little Father of the Wilderness, the second of these plays, was cast with Jack Turner, William Russell, Harry Keating, Charles Davis, John McCarty, Allan Erskine, and William Struven. The biggest success of the year came with the production of 'The Cross-Eyed Parrot by Ted and Virginia Maxwell. It was nicely staged, and because of their experience earlier in the year, the players displayed some very capable acting. Allan Erskine as the goofy-chiropractern will long be remembered, but the honors of the play go to Royall Tippett as the insane doctor owing to his stage presence and the under- standing of the dual nature of the doctor, which he portrayed very humanly. Webster Kefauver, William Struven, Harry Keating, Calvert McCabe, Charles Davis, John Turner, and William Russell gave their usual even performances. The year was fittingly ended by a production of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, aided perhaps by beautiful costumes, and a charming setting-the Marston Players achieved a small triumph in amateur theatricals. Outstanding were the per- formances of Calvert McCabe as Portia, and Royall Tippett as Shylock. These two splendid actors were very capably supported by William Struven, Harry Keating, John McCarty, Charles Davis, Webster Kefauver, Allan Erskine, John Turner, Wil- liam Russell, Stansbury Brady, Pierrepont Adams, George Packard, and others of the school. The 197.9 year was opened by The Keynote. Several new additions to the club gave splendid portrayals. james Parks as Miginon, the victim of the crafty Branden Annixter played by Webster Kefauver, stole the laurels from older per- formers in the cast. Mitchell Raines, John Cooney, john Turner, Allan Erskine, and David Maulsby Cparticularly the latterl gave splendid assistance in making the play a success. These productions have been under the able direction of Mr. Fritts, who has conscientiously worked with the boys to make them a success.

Tlmr chairs which are guaranteed not to fall apart shall be supplied. That a sanitary drinking fountain shall be installed as the tin cup became badly dented many months ago. That Mr. Fritts shall be allowed to contend with as many students as he sees lit, and all objections shall be overruled. l5Sl The HOWLETT - 1929 Qyeapcigo That Mr. Woodruff shall conduct his algebra classes in such a manner as to at least keep his students awake. We, the graduating class, realize that this is unfair to Mr. Woodruff, but think that school is not the proper place for one to slumber. , That Mr. Thomas shall not be so strict in reporting students, for, as a result, may, perhaps, become quite unpopular among the student body. That Boone shall be allowed to shoot the bull as long as he pleases. Thar Struven shall be honored with Plitt's privilege of taking orders from no one, of being late at his discretion, and of using the back porch at his sagacity. That McCarty shall be bestowed with jack Lansdale's drag with the faculty. Thar all of Mr. White's Latin classes shall be permitted to purchase a pony from the school store and to employ it in the preparation of their lessons. That, in the memory of the Class of '29, the window which leads to the back porch shall never be closed under any circumstances. That all Six Class privileges, few that they are, shall continue to be in force with more added. That Jimmy McCabe's ability to' argue shall be bestowed upon Adams. Thar Moke be allowed to quit whenever he so desires without being molested to return to the job. ' Thar all new Hupmobile roadsters be barred from the campus, owing to the fast appearance of them which is unbecoming to a school with such prestige as that of Marston's. Sworn before me, this fourth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty- nine, at Ruxton, Maryland. CSignedD GEORGE CONORS, Nafafy.
