A After aivain searchifor the north pole, Ewing, attired somewhat like a spear-carrying Amazon in the frontirowtof a comic opera, went to the telegraph oiilice land sent, the 'following to his father. Shipwrecked. Ewing. Ewing always did do things in a most original man- ner. Last fall- at Julian Beaty's birthday party, Ewing entered and protested that he couldnt sleep on the campus because Deane Edwards' singing annoyed him' Art otis, who waswith ff Rafi? said, however, that the night air was so intoxicating, that he was forced to bring f'iRaif in to prevent him from becoming air tight. A A K I if i 1 ' it E' ' i Harry Jack is tight very often, but in quite a diierent way. Harry would squeeze a dollar until the Goddess of Liberty grew black inthe face. Rumor has it, too, that Harry uses a wart on the back of his neck for a collar-button. syer mind, Harry, it is better to have a conservative financial policy than to be caught in a S200 Trenton breach of promise suit, like Scoot if wasoa. ' 1 A A l iHank Walker is very careless with his money, too. Hank journeyed to New York, and wishing' to maintain his reputation as aihandsome heart-breaker, purchased a 95200 fur overcoat and 1182.98 pair of shoes. The fur overcoat would have helped some, the night that Hank ran from his room in Blair to mail ia letter in front of Witherspoon, winning the S3 bill that Sine 'T Sinclair, ina moment of forgetfulness, offered as at prize. As interesting as would have' been the sight of' Hank running blithely across the campus, the mighty maneuvers of that gallant tar Ill, are far more interesting. He is the one who caused all the breweries in Newark to .hang crepe on the doors, by swearing off. Anyone who has seen the brave skipper tack up Nassau Street after piloting the sshoonef, Foaming Steinj' across the bar, cannot fail to be amazed at his wonderful sea- manship. Among his many, accomplishments, might also' be mentioned his yodeling and knot-tying exhibitions? A Pete Tooker once had a peculiar experience with a brew- ery. After Pete '5 had made himself famons by Wieldingihis . 8

from dinner, Bill and Don MacPherson chanced upon two Tren- ton debutantes and after enquiring their family ugeologyj' as Cap Whitney once said, proceeded to entertain them. Don has asked me not to mention his share in the evening's sport, so I shall leave him out and give Vip Voorhees a chance to tell you about it in June. Bill, by way of opening up the festivities, suggested a foot race. Don held the watch and they were off to a good start. The girl gained rapidly in the first few yards and then darkness enveloped the fleeing pair. Sud- denly, upon the air a scream arose, and then silence. Hasten- ing to the spot, Don found Bill attempting to revive his opponent, who only gasped and said, Oh, that ain't no way to race with a lady. I could have beat you, only you tried to take hold of me all the time. Bill conided afterwards that it was the first time in two years that he had kissed a girl. Did anyone ever know that Bud Johnson possessed a father-in-law? Well, he does. On the way back from Christ- mas vacation, Bud having won everyone's money rolling the bones, disappeared. Ed. Cline went in search of the missing one, fearing that he had been kidnapped. When they changed cars at Philly, Bud reappeared, and upon inquiry as to his whereabouts, carelessly replied that he had been saying good- bye to his father-in-law. Pretty good work for the little one. K Dolly Darlington once at a house party, tried to venture upon the matrimonial seas but without the same success. Upon hearing the strains of the wedding march, 'K Dolly i' suggested to a tall, stately maiden that they would make a good pair going down the aisle to those same strains. From her commanding position the girl looked down upon the courageous youth and said: Oh, get a chairfi Ever since. then, Dolly has been in search of a way in which to grow tall. House parties must be an insidious institution, for at Charley Presbrey's party last fall, Judge Shipman boasted that there wasn't a time when one of the fellows didn't have a breath. There seems to be truth in this statement when you consider that among those present were Frank Rollins, Kidf' Kennedy, and Julian MacGiEert. One night Bing Rollins 'came in and found Ship's so strong that he tried to lean on it. When they picked him up, he mur- mured, I didnit know it was loaded. Everyone thought he 7

right propeller in such a pleasing manner at New Haven, he re- ceived several testimonials, among which was the following, Mein liebe Friend Tooker: To show my appreciation for your gallant feat at New Haven, I send you these two cases with my heartiest congratulations. Anheuserschlitzf' Now when Pete first opened the case, he thought that it contained hair tonic, and turning to Log MacCoy, remarked: It's a long time between drinksf' Bub Stockton from the other end of '79 snided the evi- dence in the case and explained matters to Pete? He there- upon raftled the cases and donated the proceeds to the Town Club. Pete should be censured I think for encouraging in- ebriation among the undergraduates. Let us turn from these bold, bad deeds, and consider for a moment the trials and tribulations of our little Phillie Schaff, Allegheny's pride and Vassargs delight. In Freshman year, when Phil was very, very small, he undertook to go to New York without a chaperone. Sinclair Hamilton kindly bought his ticket for him and placed him safely on the train, in charge of the conductor. Pete desired to do some shopping and entering a large department store inquired for the unmention- able counterf' Reaching it, he told the clerk his size and the latter said, I beg your pardon, but the ladies' and children's department is on the next floorf' Cap Whitney once ran afoul of Schai in a 'Fussingi' game. You must know that Cap 'J is the king of hearts in a deck of fussers and naturally when Pete had two girls down to the Junior Prom., he asked Cap to take care of one. 4' Gap, with a face that shone like one of Felix Kline's waist- coats, acquiesced, and the game was on. Three weeks after Cap opened his morning mail and found a bill of 817.50 for expenses in fussing one girl. Stung! He wasn't stung as badly however, as a certain student while in the eternal city, other- wise Trenton. Strongheartv Hoagland, he of the beautiful build and such a handsome fellow, too. For the benefit of those who have not seen him, I desire to say that he will be on exhibi- tion at the Gym? this afternoon. Ame is an ambitious student, even if at the present moment he is only a step-member of our class. In Trenton, Ame once met a cute young thing K ' 9
