Newark, N. I. The pony is 111,ig1z.tjel' than the w01'l21'11g-llama. M. A., 'og-fro. - ' Meredith Laffey comes from Newark, New Jersey. That ought to be enough to say for the present, but really we must add a few more lines to ill up space- At this writing Meri-y's record attendance is three out of a possible five days, but on this occasion he was twice tardy and he was so enervated by the un- usual strain that he was obliged to remain at home the follow-A ing' week. Laffey is a phenomenal Latin scholar, and says that early next year he intends to issue a private edition of Virgil, with an appendix on scansion. Laffey has a beautiful large automobile, with which he runs around Newark and over its population. However, as we have never seen the machine. it may be that it is a steam-roller that he runs. The facts above show his chief characteristics, and as he is also undecided as to his college, there is no more to be said. Yes, Fm really l1e1'e'. . . 53' , F ' x f E-qi' , ' L if If--IA I 4 C173

A moral, sensible and wel!-bred ma-zz. M. A., '09-'log Wfalden House, C453 Football Team, QQ, Honor Committee, MJ ,Debating Club, Q4j. ' Ladies and gentlemen, 'step up and see the living wonder of the age, Laurence B. Moore, of Boonton, N. J., the greatest musician of the times. f'Sec sent this notice along ahead of him, and on his arrival he was found to come up to expec- tations. Morse played on the Football Team at centre and was one of the hardest workers on the squad. To look at him one might think that he was seriousness personified, but when he once smiles everyone in the room roars with laughter. In the scholastic line, Morse also shines, and 76-All A's', is getting monotonous. Morse is secre- , anlufbvg-727745, tary of the M. ' lb Boomony N- J' A. s. P. c., and N really does excellent work for that organization. flags y fll qx ,L I According to the number of letters which he claims lkvs ' ,lull come from his sisters, he must have more than a ill' h - L' hundred. However, we fear that there is some 'X Q hidden joke about this sister business, and intend E i H , to look more closely into the matter. Morse is go- ll' QP ing to college, but has not yet decided where. -,fg:f-g3:,er:g if f XM5, Honest, t1z.at's S672-0Z'lS.H C193
