Prologue We know what we are, but not what we may be. — Shakespeare Before perusing these sketches, in justice to them as well as to ourselves, we beg to inform our readers that we were all born sometime in the last quarter century, that we were all educated in a public school somewhere, and that for the most part we all entered the portals of M. A. C. together in the fall of 1904. We wish moreover to assure you that in the natural course of events we pro- gressed from Freshmen to Sophomores, from Sophomores to Juniors, and in due time, being invested with Senior responsibilities, we, naturally, have the best major, the best captains and the best cadet lieutenants, as well as the best bat- talion M. A. C. has ever seen. As a body we have never neglected our duties, have always stood well in our classes, and have all been trustworthy, capable and popular men. We have all shown remarkable business ability, have all been stricken with the darts of Cupid, and, incidentally, all had our pictures taken at Buck ' s. Great things are expected of us, and we really believe that we will live up to our expectations. We all heartily wish each other the success in life which we no doubt so richly deserve, as witness the numerous responsible positions we have so honorably and worthily filled. We state the above not in a spirit of vain-glorious boasting, but as simple accepted facts, trusting that if after all our readers should be inclined to doubt us that they will take our word for it ! Meditons ! 26

GEORGE GROVER BECKER Horticultural A snapper up of unconsidered trifles. — Shakespeare How such a tender infant came to survive the crushing congestion of crowded Baltimore is certainly at first sight a miracle to all. But we once hear that incon- gruous jabber of low German and high English and the problem is solved. Georgie ' s Germanic instincts have hitherto shown a marked preponderance over his culti- vated English propensities, in- asmuch as, like many another would-be scientist of the Fatherland, he is constantly busy collecting well-known bugs, common river pebbles, bum jokes, pointless mottoes and other inconsiderable trifles that happen along — all in the hope that some day the spirit of Poe may descend and lead him to the discovery of the Gold Bug, and thus his name shall be written in the Hall of Fame as M. A. C. ' s foremost scientist. We gasp as we think that twice he was almost lost to the entomological world! First, the stage claimed him, for Georgie was perfection itself in his droll imitation of ' ' Dick, the Cook and the Roll- ing Pin a la Uncle Remus. Then, again, he was threat- ened with the most incurable of maladies, the terrible disease of love; but our cute little boy never got any decided results, for the maiden herself decided. So Georgie went back to chasing bugs and she was left to another ' s tender care. The telling of what he will do at Cornell next year occupies all his hours of leisure ; and suffice it to say that, tho he is always late, always studying the wrong lesson, and always asleep when his turn comes to recite, Georgie has more college spirit to the square pound than any cadet living, besides possessing that ideal state of the Cabbite mind, a Senior sense of responsibility. 27
