EDMUND C. MAYO, 2nd Lieut. Co. A Hyattsville. Mechanical Engineering. Humorous Editor of Reveille. Of manners gentle, of affection mild ; In wit a man ; simplicity a child. Edmund C. Mayo, alias, Pug, was born at Old Point Comfort, Va., January 8, 1885. He received his early education at a private school. He has a medal to show for his stand- ing in the higher branches of Mathe- matics. At the age of ten, he moved to Hyattsville, where he attended the High School. After graduating here, he entered M. A. C. in the fall of 1 90 1. Edmund is one of those who have helped to make our class famous, in athletics as well as scholastic work ; having played on our foot ball team, and at the same time, stood among the leaders of the class. Abounding with life and spirits, he is always ready to help those not so fortu- nate as himself. He is therefore very popular with the cadet corps. Ed. as is natural, is quite IT, around the ladies, having, we understand, to go to Washington, as Hyattsville is too small for such a conqueror. His spec- ialty is Drafting, having had considerable experience, during the summer months at the Navy Yard at Newport News. Determined and with an ambition to rise to the highest rung in the ladder of success, we feel sure that we shall soon hear of him, as one of the best in the line of work he intends to pursue. And we feel sure our Alma Mater will have great cause to feel proud of him. 26

JOSEPH PERCY GRAY, 2nd Lieut. Co. B Glyndon. Scientific. Historian ' o3- ' o4; Secretary of Athletic Association ; Treasurer June Ball Organization ; Manager Base Ball Team. God bless the man who first in- vented sleep. Methinks I am marvelous hairy about the face. Alias Skinner. Born in North Dakota, April 19, 1883. At the ag2 of four years, he came to Maryland. He received his early education at the Franklin High School, in Balti- more County. He also received one years study in St. Louis, Mo. After graduating in the eighth grade of the Franklin High School, he entered the Freshman Class of the Maryland Agricultural College in the fall of 1900. Skinner is a hard student, and he is never seen, except with a text book by his side. He is not an athletic man, but he holds his own in a rough house, which he seems to be especially fond of. Percy is a very religious man, and he attends church at least once a year. He has led the Y. M. C. A. astray for four consecutive years. Skinner is a very sedate fellow and I remember on a certain occasion one of the boys became very angry and said, Oh, sugar, and Percy was so mortified and disgusted with him, that he would not speak to him for almost six months. Percy is a very popular man at M. A. C, and for this reason he was elected the Base Ball Manager. His work as a manager is very satisfactory, and he has arranged one of the best schedules possible. 25

EDW. WARNER MERRYMAN, 2nd Lieut. Co. A Baltimore. Mechanical, Secretary Morrill Society; As- sociate Editor of the Reveille. My mind to me an Empire is While grace affordeth health. — Southwell. A Deluge of words and a drop of sense. Alias — Grandpa, Mary, and Cotton. Merryman first appeared upon this mundane sphere in Balti- more, Maryland, November 26, 1885- While yet of a tender age, it was first perceived that the lad had an exceedingly strong mind. In 1895, he entered the Public Schools, and continued in them until he had finished one year at the Baltimore City Col- lege. In the fall of 1901, Mary entered the M. A. C. He had not been with us long before he startled the natives by his exceptional ability in mathematics. He has shown that he is a natural born Mathematician in spite of all the ZIPS donated by the Prof, of Physics to prove the contrary. Though Mathematics is predominant in Cotton ' s mind, the ladies can certainly claim second place, for he and Rube overstay their leave nearly every Saturday night in quest of fair damsels. 27
