Miilta aucis — Much in little. ( )n the twelfth day of . ' o ' ciiiher ill the year of i88 ' ), the town of .Maya- guez had its population increased by one when Cappie appeared on this mundane sphere. Little he was, hut the people of that city had wide expec- tations, and their e-xpectations have not S ' one astray. After ulitaining all the knowledt e that the public schools of that place could t;ive him, he decided to come to this section of the United States to complete his education. It was in the fall of I j02 when R().g;ilio Lilio Diego landed in the great city of Baltimore, and after studying the English language with a preiwratory course at Deichman ' s for two years, he entered tlie so|5homore class at the .Maryland . gricultnral College, and soon was able to say.

ISig Guard, or lx tter known as ilickey, accidented himself into this great world of ours on tlu- 12th day of Xovember, 1885. Little Hd the natives of Kingston realize what a great miracle had been performed ; little did tliey dream at the time that this small piece of humanity would some day be one of the bright stars illuminating the bright firmament of the Eastern Sho ' . But lo ! such did come to ]3ass, and we are proud of it. It was in the fall of 1904. having drunk the cup of knowledge of Som- erset County to its dregs that Dowland was welcomed to the Maryland Agri- cultural College. L.ig Guard was very popular with the boys during his college course. This fact is very much evidenced by tile number of offices he held, and he deserves credit for the ease and pro- ficiency in which he filled his worthy and numerous positions. l ' ow!and played guard on the ' varsity football team for three seasons, and to sav that his work along this particular line was of an excellent character is but a mild wa - of ex- pressing the wide known fact that he was a good all-round football man. Resides being a good military man, Hickey is quite a society belle. It is due to this fact that he was unanimously elected president of the Rossbourg Club. As such he showed marked ability in successfully managing social functions. The dances given this year under his auspices have been mvich enjoyed. The Class of 1907 wishes our subject all the happiness and prosperity that can be possibly crowded into one life. lO

Alexander, alias Alec, ' first saw sunlight in W ' orthington ' s N ' alley, Bal- timore County, Maryland. June 2t,. 188C). His early education was ab- sorbed in the public schools of Balti- more County, and in the Deichman ' s and Alarston ' s Schools in Baltimore City. lie landed in our midst in the fall lit 1901, and the next fall fountl him a member of the class of naughty-six. in 11)03, however, owing to sickness, he had to leave his class, and in 1904 lie joined the ranks of naugty-seven. Alec always would study — when he did not go to Hyattsville — or when no one else studied fur him — so b}- his industry he kept pace with the rest of his classmates. Alec is a mihtary man. Init he has skipjjed tactics. As a lady ' s man he ranks among the first in the schonl. When he is n il surveying or sleeping he ma - be found among the ladies in Hyattsville. Alec has been a good student and is ending a successfid course in civil engineering. 18
