Love at t vo-and-i venty is a ter- ribly into.xicating draft. — Riiffiiii. Science is a first-rate piece of fur- niture for a man ' s upper chamber if he has common sense on the ground floor. — Holmes. Born January 28, 1884. Ingleside, Md., is not a very large place, nor had it renown other than that it was upon the Eastern Sho ' of Maryland. But it reached its zenith when it gave birth to James Jesse Thomas Graham. Judging from his career at M. A. C, this young gentleman must have cut his teeth upon German grammar, and mi.xed mud pies accordingly to chemical formulas. Jesse, after completing the course at Ingleside Academy, spent a year in the hardware business with a brother, but at the end of that time he resigned his business for a college life, and M. A. C. was the gainer thereby. Graham ' s entrance into College was a marked success. Marching into the main entrance, he met Johnnie Green on the first floor. Dropjiing his suit case and advancing with a dilTerential bow and extended hand, exclaimed, President Silvester, I believe! Now Jesse really knew better, for he had been to M. -V. C. before with an older brother, but this piece of diplomacy has brought him many an extra ; and even now on Sunday ' s, when he makes a second huge piece of mince pie disappear, if one notices carefully he might see an innocent smile playing around the diplomat ' s mouth. Graham doesn ' t like being called a ladies ' man, but two of his classmates have made a wager that he will lie tlie first to experience love in a cottage for two. 17

The valour that struggles is better than the weakness that endures. Dick, or Hosey, as he is some- times called, first made known his ad- vent into this world by a prolonged series of yells and articulations which no one understood at the time. T ater it was discovered that he was deliver- ing a toast on his favorite topic The Radios. He was born August 23, 1886, in the town of Cambridge, Dorchester County. His early education was received at the Cambridge High School, from which he was graduate l with honurs in the Class of 03. He joined our class in its Sopho- more year and has been a very jjopular member throughout his course. Dick is somewhat of an athelete. having been a member of the I ' aseball Team each season since he has been at College. His hobliy, however, is oratory, and it has been rumored among his fellow cadets thai he would leave his dinner any (lay to make a speech. lie delights in driving, esiiecially when aceumjianied liy one of the fair sex, and his propensity in this direction has led him cm several occasions to purloin the team of the chief executive. Dick ' s ambition is to become a great lawyer, and that he may attain the hinhesl point of his ambitinn is the wish of the Class of ltj()6. 16

Temper is so good a thing that one should never lose it. — Anon. Mayer, familiarly known to us as Roy, was born at Eckhart, Allegheny County, Md., June 23, 1884. The founda- tions of his education was received at the Bell High School of Frostburg, Md., his parents having taken him to that town to live while he was very young. Entering M. A. C. in the Fall of 1901, lie became a hard student, and has continued so since. He takes a great interest in Y. M. C. A. work, was chosen as one of the delegates to attend the convention at Nashville, Tenn. Although he steps out of the path when some of the boys worry him, he is brought back by his room- mate — Ingram — the deacon of the M. A. C. In athletics he has done fine work, especially in football, being one of the pluckiest ])Iayers M . A. C. has ever had. It has been said that if you were to tear him to pieces in one game and sew him together again, he would be ready for the next. Roy is very p()])ular among his classmates and schoolmates, and will not be soon forgotten by the boys at M. A. C. Although his chief desire was to receive a letter from Frostburg, yet he would find time to spend an evening once in a while with some of the fair sex in W ' asbinglon. He has alwa s had a talent for mechanical work, and has done great things in that dcpartnienl. lie expects to follow this work after leaving College, and we wish him success.
