VNLEY GORSUCH, Fork, Md., ENGINEERING. (gORSUCH, alias Doc- or ■ ' Jimmy- hails from Baltimore County. He is a quiet sort of a fellow ; at least he appears so to the uniniti- ated, but let them see him when he breaks loose and they will quickly change their mind. Doc is essenti- ally a military man and therefore stands high in Commy ' s favor. His company is one of the best drilled and disciplined in the Battalion ; but how could it help being anything else with two such military men as Doc and Holly- in charge. Doc is studying Engineering, but says he prefers a little farm and we would not be surprised to hear that he has abandoned engineering and settled down on a farm in Baltimore County with a certain little maid who doesn ' t liye a thousand miles from Col- lege Park either. Doc says he doesn ' t see why they don ' t carry let- ters from college to Hyattsyille for one cent. Perhaps his fondness for Hyattsyille is on account of his great love for music and they say she is quite a musician, at least Doc seems to know all the latest songs. ' hen it comes to dancing, he is right there with the goods. He wasl very shy when he landed in M. A. C. Imt seems to have gotten over it. Doc often runs the risk of getting caught on Sunday night but says the game is worth the price. Doc is our best orator and has been chosen valedictorian.

Fraxcis Hexry Drvden, Poconioke City, M( Civil Encinicicking. jQrYDEX. alias Nux is from C7 Eastern Slid. ' Me is the young- est member of our class. Nux is little but. ( ). my! He is very fond of kidding- Doc Tolly but some- times he gets more than is coming ' to lim. When he arrived here he was verv small in statue, but M. A. C. foiid seems to agree with him. It was not until the May liall, in lis Junior year, that Nux became a society man. He likes to give you an idea that he likes all the feminine sex alike, but he has two .special deliv- eries working overtime. Many a night he has left the college, saying that he was going to town, but we know that he never left the hill. He is very slick in covering up his trails but doesn ' t always succeed. Nux seems to be trying to outdo Micky in his manner of speech. He has gotten to the point where he speaks as slowly as does Micky ' and all he needs is a little practice in his pronunciation. He is young yet and says he wants to travel and see some of the world befc down. Nux and Taus are and can generally be sec selves ofT to town or H Friclav and Saturdav nii

= fe James Philip Griffin, Highland, Aid., Civil E. i;inm-:ering. 1 II I- I . alias Stuff is from Howard County. He joined us in our Tunior vear after having; been away from college a year, travel- ing through the South. Stiff de- lights to sit and tell us tales of his do- ings while in the South. Stiff ' s favorite subjects are Ger- man and French. 1 le is an excellent ( ? ) French scholar. Ask Holly if he isn ' t. We all enjoy hearing him giving his version of the way the P ' rench sentences ought to read. He is ver ' fond of telling Prof. Spence fairy stories and some of them cer- tainly are fairy stories. He is quite a social man and can al- ways be found at all the college dances. Every Friday night, rain or shine, he goes to town or a little way beyond and savs he guesses he will continue to visit there for some time to come or until he secures a good position and then — well we can guess the rest. Stiiif is a good student and many a hard problem has been gotten by his industry. W ' e are sure that he will succeed in whatever he takes up.
