THOMAS BLAIN MULLENDORE, ist Lieut, and Battalion Adjutant, Hagerstown. Classical. Editor-in-Chief of Reveille ' 04; Chairman of Program Com- mittee of Morrill Literary Soc- iety ' 04; Floor Committee of Rossburg Club ' 04; Captain Class Base Ball Team ' 03. I still had hopes, for pride attends us still, Amid the strains to show my book- learned skill. MuUendore, subject of this sketch better known as Mully; was born Mid the Green Fields of V irginia on August I, 1882. Here he resided until five years of age, when his parents moved to Rohrersville, Mary- land. He attended the Rohersville Grammar School, graduating from that institution in the spring of 1900. He then obtained a scholarship to M. A, C, and entered in the fall of 1900. Mully has never gone in for atheletics very deeply. However, his work in base ball has been very creditable. As yet, Mully has not fallen a victim to to feminine charms. We do not wish to say that he is not attracted by the fair sex; but we do not believe that he is hard hit, as are so many of his classmates MuUendore is very popular with the boys, both as an officer and college mate. That our class-mates repose great confidence in him, is shown by the fact that we have intrusted to him the responsibilities of Editor-in-Chief of the college annual, edited by us. MuUy ' s acceptance of this responsibility proves that he is not afraid of work ; and the book itself testifies to his ability and energy. In the near future we expect to see MuUendore a professor in one of our great universities, and we wish him all the success possible. 29

WALTER R. MITCHELL, Capt. Co. A La Plata. Mechanical. Vice-President ' o3- ' o4 ; Secretary ' 02 ; President Athletic As- sociation; President June Ball Organization ; Vice-President, Rossburg Club ; Secretary New Mercer Literary Society. Beautiful in form and figure — Lovely as the day — Can there be so fair a creature Formed of common clay? Alias — General . Born at La Plata, Charles Co., Md., March 30, 1884. He attended the Public Schools at that place during his youthful days and then spent two years at the Southern Maryland Preparatory School where he prepared himself to enter the Freshman Class of the Maryland Agricultural College, in the fall of 1900. General is a hard student and he deUghts in studying all the branches per- taining to his course. Mitchell has distinguished himself as a foot ball man, and he has played on the team all four years of his college life, helping to win the honors of the victor- ious team of ' 04. Mitch is naturally a military man and he is captain of one of the best com- panies the College has ever known. There is only one thing he dislikes about military life, and that is the study of tactics. He is also an admirer of the female sex, and he has been known to have stopped studying his favorite study calculus, to write to his Lalage. General ' s chief adviser and confidant is Tessy, and you will always find them together. They often journey to Georgetown of a Sunday evening, for rea- sons well known, girls. Mitchell is a great favorite of all the boys, and we wish him success in every thing he undertakes. 28

EARNEST RALPH SASSCER ist Lieut, and Q. M . . . . La Plata. Scientific. Vice-President Y. M. C. A.; Chairman Refreshment Com- mittee June Ball; Athletic Editor Reveille, Base Ball ' 02, ' 03, ' 04. Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony, But organically I am incapable of tune. Alias - Billy , Sass, Bugs. Born October 25, 1883, at Waldorf, Md. He lived there until the tender age of 15 years, when he took up his abode in La Plata. His early educa- tion was received in the public schools at La Plata. In 1899, he entered the Maryland Normal Preparatory School and remained there one year. He next entered the Maryland Agricult- ural College in the fall of 1900, and since that time he has been studying bugs there. He is a favorite with all the boys, and he spends lots of his time singing sweet songs to his room-mate Percy. Everyone is always glad to see Billy around with his jovial countenance, for there is some hidden trait about him which seems to drive care away. Chasing butterflies and meeting new girls are his chief delights. About the first of May he starts out with his net, and woe to the unlucky butterflies that chance to come his way, for they are sure to find their finish in a glass case with a pin run through them. Sass has done good work on the base ball team, and his proficiency as a tennis manager is worthy of notice. 30
