fav- 1 PHILIP JENKINS DAVIES, Phil, Davies, Began to think his first serious thoughts at Scranton. Pa.. where he has always lived. His father is Henry P. Davies, a mine foreman. He isn't very bloody, but what he has is of the purest Welsh, and he can easily trace his line of ancestors back to Sir Bedivere of the Knights ofthe Round Table, and indeed there is little doubt but that he had relatives in the Ark. He is not certain of this. however. DAVID HOMER HAYDEN, H Hades, Sprung his first English joke on Nov. 20, 1874, in Cambridge, Mass. That city then laid a new set of gas pipes. He is 14 hands high, with a danger signal flung to the breeze from his highest point. His ancestors are so numer- ous that he is afraid to mention any of them, for fear of running across some other Senior's ancestor. He does not wish to die just yet. His father, David D. Hayden. lives in Cain- bridge, Mass. Hades ' blood is English C-0 and Humorist C.0000687l. JOHN ALEXANDER ROSS, H Johnny, Began to train for the '07 foot-ball team, Sept. 19, 1878, at Bel fast, Me. Q but as Hampton. N. H., offered greater advantages for careful training. he took up his residence there, where he still resides. It is said that one-Hfth of his school life at Exeter has been spent travelling between Exeter and Hampton, and that as a result of this he will soon give to the world a work entitled The Way to Win a Woman. He is of Scotch-English descent, and his father is John A. Ross, a Congregationalist clergyman. n

Herman lit upon St. Paul on Jan. 21, 1879, but finding it rather slow there. moved to Milwaukee. Wis., on account of its great advantages.of which we all read in the mag- azine advertisements. He traces his ancestors bam-k to Wodin and Thor, and says that many others. whose names he cannot now recall. are now in Valhalla or Bierhalle. or some such place. An analysis of his blood shows a blend of Teutonic and American. His father, Roland Brecker. is a prominent lawyer in Milwaukee, Wis. HUNTINGTON ADAMS, Huntie, Began to grow tall, Nov. 3, 1879, in New York. He has pu.-Lvl-ll his life at his birthplace and the leading' summer resorts. Undoubtedly he was induced to go to the latter places as a drawing card. He can trace his ancestors back to 100 lx. 0. Among his distinguished rel- atives are found such names as Caracatus. Boadicia. NVYULIFFIC, and many other noted warriors and eminent diviues. His father is George H. Adams, a prominent lawyer. LOUIS BERNARD JOHNSON, U Percy, H Bernard, H Doc, Smoked his first vile cigar in Maynard, Mass., on Dec. 13, 1877. His ancestors go back as far as Darwin allows, and Percy says that among his noted relatives are Louis XIV. of France, the great St. Bernard. and Samuel Johnson. He states the fact that he would rather read the life of his last-named ancestor than cat. His father, a chemist, lives in May- nard, Mass. Percy came to us from the Maynard lligh School.

J ames, his father, is ajeweler and optician. He is of English de- scent and is probably related to Cruikshank, Cicero, Socrates. the Exonian Board, and other freaks of Nature.
