For more re- cent (lata we have btit to refer to cur- rent journals dealing with society, lit- erature and music to find all about him. Reddy ' s ])rimary education was received in the ptiblic schools of How- ard County. Later, he entered the Simpleville High School, where he carried (iff all honors as well as some other things which did not Ix ' long to him. Mis early days at Maryland .Agri- cultural College were filled with ad- ventttre. Immediately after his en- trance he told the Commandant of his preference for the sword rather than the gun, but his request at the time was not granted. He was a corporal during his soph- omore year. From that he was pro- moted to the rank of sergeant in Company A. and tlun to his present jh Ri-(ld has ;dways done well in his classes, matliematics being his f; branch, lie has a great liking for girls and has favorites from I ' liiladel] I lyattsville. and from m;tlerial worlds to Lai adise, It is not through any respect for custom or compliment lli;il we iired him a bright fntinw and extend to him om best wishes for good fortune. isition. ivofite ihia lo ici for 27

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

Stanley Torney VockE, Second I ieut. and Quartermaster, - Baltimore, Md. Chemical. Vice-President Athletic Association ; Associate Editor Reveilli;. Grace has been defined as the oulzcurd e.vt ressinn of the iw i ' ard harmony. — Hazlitt. B.vperienee makes ez ' en fools iinse. — Proverb. Vocke, alias Vockey, was born ill Baltimore August 8, 1887. His first notoriety was gained from the way he played hookey from the pub- lic schools of Baltimore. It was while on one of these expeditions that he saw a crowd of cadets in AI. A. C. uniform, and as he had about finished the course in the public schools, he decided that he would go to the Mary- laiul Agricultural College. Accordingly, he entered the portals of this institution in the fall of 1903, and started in to learn the scientific methods of farming. During the soph- omore year, however, he became so infatuated with the assistant professor of chemistry, that he finally decided to devote his life to chemical research. iM-nni the progress he has made in this direction he bids fair to become a second Liebig. During the Junior }ear he and his old side partner, John Lether Showell, other- wise known as Shike, kept open house. Their apartments were always thronged with students, and never for an instant did they feel the lack of hospitality and good-fellowship. ' ocke dealt out tobacco with a lavish hand, and Shike kept up a continual flow of melody on his guitar. But although ' ocke was famed for his hospitality, he still kept his high place in his class, and when the study of German and Chemistry was taken up, it was he who safely steered the class through the mazes of intricate compositions and constructions, which can be found between the parts of a separable verb. Stanley has the quality of combining a good disposition with great determina- tion, and we bespeak for him great success in his chosen profession. 28
