.75slory of 7900. N a beautiful September day in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-six, a band of gallant and noble-looking GQ youths of all nationalities was ushered into existence at St. john's College, who organ- ized themselves into a class, which was to prove itself a source of great advantage to its Alma Mater. It would require too much space to relate the various opinions formed about it by the other classes. The usual compli- ments, which Freshmen always receive, were paid. We early discovered that.our class possessed many distinguished characters. Mr. Peter Belches, of Vir- ginia, rose into great prominence on account of the extraordinary size of his head, which was as large as the gilded acorn on the dome of the State Capitol. Peter always took delight in discussing the beauty of the fair sex, but whenever the honorable youth met a fair maiden he was sure to make his escape. Peter was aptly called the genius of our class. But let us notice our genial friend, Irish, just over from the sunny shores of old Ire- land. He brought over with him a full stock of wit and humor, which he was exceedingly fond of displaying. His favorite necktie was green, in honor of his native land. His main topic of conversation was girls 3 but just the opposite from his colleague, Peter, he always put himself in the way of the fair sex. But let us divert our attention to the Bird of Baltimore. He may not have been a brilliant student, but he certainly could play football in such a style that he was the recipient of many compliments. Student Oscar K. Tolley now attracts our attention. judging from his initials, O. K., he must be all right. Oscar, after taking the degree of B. A. in Harford County, comes to college and joins our class, in which he hopes to earn a B. S. None of our class claim that they have spent part of their life in digging up old Latin records out of some tunnel, with the exception of Yallah Anderson, a resident of the Ancient City. He devotes the greater part of his time to the study of Latin, his well-known phrase being When are you going to get that Latin out ? Our class is certainly widely represented, for besides the above-namedfheroes we have many more, whose dar- ing deeds are so numerous that they will fill many pages of the world's history. At the expiration of a few weeks, a class meeting was held to organize and elect officers. Men were elected who seemed capable of serving the class to the best advantage, but, contrary to the custom of the other classes in College, were elected for only one year. Our class was very large, the roll numbering thirty-three men. Not a small number of our fellows trained hard for football, in which was developed some excellent material, which showed itself in the game with the Class of Ninety-
