aroused the residents of the sacred walls of Pinkney with his hideous noises. He is generally known by the appel- lation of Nichols. But Scabbius Lawson is the name that now claims our attention, a name that has a celebrated renown far down on the Eastern Shore. His jokes, which he is exceedingly fond of displaying, are of an amusing character, in his opinion, but not so much so according to other people's views. Shortly a class meeting was held to reorganize and elect new ofhcers. We organized into the strongest and largest class in College. We adopted a class pin, the sec- ond ever adopted in College, and a class cap, the first ever adopted in College. We found that our class was much better in every respect than during our Freshman year. But football now demands our attention. Quite a number of us went into hard training. Dumpy Pen- ington proved himself a stone wall on tl1e line. All rush- ers of the pigskin found it to be quite a task to get through him. And Liz Mackall, who was employed as fullback, found it an easy matter to go through any line, his rushes were so terrific. We have mentioned the football qualities of the Baltimore Bird, alias C. Car- ter Reynolds. He was one of the particular stars of the team, for his playing at right end was marvelous. Woe be to the halfback who attempted to circle his end 5 he I was sure to lose ground. Dutch Shartzer, the musi- cian, decided to go in training and try his luck. The result was not disastrous, by any means, for the team discovered that they could not get along without him. There were no class games that season, so our team did not have the opportunity to prove its supremacy. There is a custom in College that upper classmen shall haze the Freshmen, because they, after having been sev- ered from all home restraints, are apt to begin to hold an exalted opinion about themselves, and this would, indeed, be very disagreeable to their parents, and so it is thought best to check them in their mad career. This sad but stern duty has always fallen upon the naughty Sopho- mores. But hazing was recently abolished, and, of course, the grand and glorious Class of Nineteen Hun- dred did not wish to revive it. But we are sorry to state that the Freshmen who came under our supervision were a green and uncouth lot of youths, and as soon as they discovered that hazing had been abolished, they began to entertain the idea that they were of much importance, ignoring the fact that they were only mere functions of the College. And, of course, we could not tolerate this, so we did not hesitate to occasionally give them a gentle reminder that there was just one class above them.
