He iicrcr kiu ' -c pain zvlio never felt the panics of lij; — Platen, Leaniiiig is my sole delight. — Petrarch. Mahoney, better known as Pat, began his eventful career on Septem- ber II, 1883. ( )f his early Hfe we know little, but feel safe in saying- that he was not a good baby. His first words were taken in Latin, and wlien translated mean, I will he a great law- yer. Having received the limited in- struction given in the public schools of Cecil County, he entered the Elkton High Schoiil. ( )n accnunt of lack of space, only a few uf his achievements can be mentioned. 1 le took the classi- cal course, and it is needless to say, came out last in mathematics. He was ca])tain of the fnnlhall team in loon. |)laying iialf-l)ack. . fti.r leaving high schocil he was in the employ of a business firm for three years. It was during this time that he was in the throes of that awful passion, love. He came to Alarxland Agricultural Colle,ge ho])ing that the diver- sion might cure him, but his case seemed Impeless. He would sit up until the wee ' hours of the morning, writing long letters declaring his sincrrity and ever- lasting love. It all came to a dramatic end, however, and we are still in the dark as to the jiarticidars. He, too, has a special at Ilyattsville, but old memories make him a cauliuus lover. His career at . lar land . gricultural College has been a most successful one. 1 le cajjlured the Jimior medal, and as the last classical graduate, we are ])roud of him. We know him to be a deep deljatcr. his pet l(i|iies bi ' ing, ' Wgnoslicism, Involution. and The ( )rigin of the Irish Language. From his natural ability, and from bis exi)erience gained in arguing with the ])rofessor of civics, we have every reason to believe his yntUhful prediction will come true. 25

At the summer resort of Falmoutli, Massachusetts, there was born on June 3, 1887, a Yankee who seemed to be gifted with those powers that go toq-ether to make up an athlete, and also a scientific charmer of the fairer sex. lly the number (jf schools that Elijah has attended, one would think he is cjuite a learned man, and in fact he is. to a certain extent ; any- way, in his own estimation. In the fall of 1903 he took up his al)0(lc at the well-renowned Maryland .Agricultural College. Elijah was always a studious lad. and a lo -cr of that easy study, Calculus. Whenever he was detailed to be O. D. on Saturday, away he would go to find some of his classmates and appeal to them with the same old ex- cuse, Will yon go on O. D. for me Saturday? I have a special theatrical engagement for that night, and it must be filled. ■ ' Elijah always took great interest in his company, and perhaps developed in it the degree of perfectness that it had, but when he was absent it was always understood that the company would be on the hog. Kee]) it lip. Elijah. 24

He was a very precocious youth, and after passing through the schools of Prince George ' s County with ease, entered Maryland Aj;rictilliiral College in the fall of i()03. fohnnie is one of the most re- markable business men wIki have ever attended college, and has the rep. (if selling more good things tn inno- cent rats than any other man in the college. Witness the postcards and calendars. He is now engaged on a fiiur-volume work containing a resume of his experiences, entitled Graft, ..r How I Did It. However, with all his btisiness af- fairs, he has still found time to culti- vate the social graces, having great ad- miration for numerous members of the fair sex, and always looking out for other worlds to conquer. It is rumored that he has won the heart of one of the sweet maidens of Prince George ' s, but you camiot always tell. Mudd has always taken high rank in scholastic work and student affairs, be- sides having one of the best drilled companies in the battalion. Judging from his past record, we predict and hope for him a happy and prosperous future. 26
