Stubby has done excellent work as Treasurer of the .Vthletic .Vssociation, every one being pleased with his work. His work in the Y. M. C. . . is also worthy of notice. His specialty is mining, and he has had considerable experience alimg that line, having successfully superintended a mine at .Xewburg, W. ' a., iluring the summer months. It is reported that he lust his heart while in that town. He and Edgar fre(|uently take an evening stmll uji tlie I ' ike. probably in the inti ' rest of the mines. With a cicierminaliiin and ambitiim tn rise in the wurld, with his success in diii)ig the Kals and his al)ilit as a financier, we feel that he will some day be one iif the great .Masters nf Industry. 2(i

Pa., on Xovemher 1, 1883, but as life became monotonous there, he moved to Sparrows Point. Md.. when but two years of age. Having spent his early years in the machine shops and public shcools of that place, and showed his ability as a mechanic in both iilaccs (often twisting the ear of the next boy as if it were a screw- driver!, he was sent to M. . . C. in iipi, where it was known he could become a mechanic of the first order. Xor was this a mistake. In the wood-working department he made all sorts of things, even ]iersuaders. Sister has always been a great favorite witli the fair se.x. and is especiallv ' fond of dancing, never having been known to miss a hop within a radius of ten miles, and has even gone without his supper to catch a car to town to take in a dance. It is rumored that a little miss many miles away has stolen his heart, but we can never tell about tiiose things. If it be true, we congratulate her. Sis has (lone good scholastic work since his entrance, and we predict for him a successful f Uure. Mis classmates have great confidence in him, as is evi- denced by the numerous responsible positions which he fills.

Sturgis, knt)wn to us (ilen or I ' lrother, first saw the light of day on the sandbanks of Lewes, Del., April 15, 1883, While he was .still in his tender years, his parents moved to Snow Hill, Md,, where they have since resided. It was here that Glen received his early education, and graduated from the Snow Hill High School in the spring of i ;02, with high honors. In the fall of the same year he entered the Sophomore Class at M. . . C, and has since distinguished himself in scholastic work. Never, as far as we know, imtil this ear, has Glen been infatuated with the fair sex, and even now we are inclined to excuse him and put the blame on our classmate from the mountains, with whom he has been known to associate. While I ' lrother has never figured very i)rominently in athletics, his interest is none the less. He has been known to play checkers on several occasions and once to engage in a game of ping-pong. As .shown 1)y the list of honors above, Cden is one of the most trustworthy, |)o]nilar and capable members of our class. He is not only extremely popular with his own class and the student body, but is respected for his merits by every nieml.ier if the Facult ' with whom he has come into contact.
