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

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.

Hoag thought that she was the sweetest ever, and visions of future bidsto teas, dances, and all kinds of jolly parties seethed through his enchanted mind. Imagine his dismay and consternation, however, when, upon reaching her home, a frowsy head appeared at the window and a shrill voice said: 'C May, are you drunk again? Let that young fool go home. and come inf, ' No later than last Saturday night, Ame's room-mate, Brownie Gibson, came up to me and throwing his arms lovingly about, said, in a tender K mixed-ale voice fHinman Bird will tell you what that isj, Tell any, any story you wish, about me, but leave, out MacGiifert. His people are going to be down here, so please don't ruin his reputation. Just think of a fellow who has kept his reputation until Senior year and then tries to do in one year what most fellows take four years to do. Mac has never posed as a bouncer. But once a telegram summoned him home, and when Mac arrived, he was met by a tearful and pleading family, who entreated him tolplease throw the cook out. Frank Kennedy, the laziest man in the class, is very partial to cooks. Let me tell you about it. N Brownie Gibson, after his famous one night in a bar-room, was seized with a severe at- tack of remorse and hastened to a doctor. Ken accompanied him in a true fraternal spirit. When they arrived at the doc- tor's, Frank said that he wouldn't go in. Gibson asked the reason and alien replied, that he had met the 'K maid W at a dance and it might prove embarrassing if she should see him. So Gib rang the bell. After waiting a few moments, lo and be- hold, an ebony-hued daughter of the sunny South opened the door. 4' Gibby looked around at Ken,', but he had fled the scene. 1 Did anyone ever hear of Charley Presbrey as an expert chaf- feur? While in Poughkeepsie, last spring, Charley showed his skill to some Vassar friends at 11 p. m., and in the excitement of reaching the college before midnight demolished a garden and killed two pet dogs. A warrant was issued by the town authori- ties, but Charley soothed their wrath by coughing up 375. But I have not mentioned Jack Vauclain yet, have I? He is really too important a person to leave out. Jack lives in 10
