1 OHN T. HARDISTY, • Captain of Company B, first saw the light at M itchellsville, Prince George ' s Co., Md., March 23, 1883. He received his prepara- tory education at Frogpond Academy where he gradu- ated, with high honors and distinction, on June 10, 1 896. In the Fall of ' 97 he en- tered the Freshman Class and gained distinction by leading his class that year. He is a member of the Classical Course and has al- ways been noted for his stu- dious ways, but like many Classical Course men, never tires of telling about the dif- ficulties of his course. He has not studied as much as usual this year and therefore not so high up in marks as formerly. No reason can be given for this unless, it is perhaps, he is in love. He has always taken great interest in athletics and played full back on the foot ball team of ' oo- ' oi. He is, at the present time, playing centre field on the base ball team. He is President of the Ro.s.sbourg Club and Secretary and Treasurer of the Athletic Association. His literarj ability has never been questioned and he is President of New Mercer Literary Societ} and has been elected as Senior Orator by his class. He is President of the June Ball organization and A.ssistant Business Mana- ger for the Reveille. John promises to be a con,spicuous figure in the Senior Track Team of 1901 and is sure to win his lap in the Relay Race. 23
