= 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.

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.

James Edwin Haslup, Agriclltlre. I ASLUP, alias Hots is from Li Howard County. He has an abundance of auburn hair hence his name. Hots is studying Ani- mal Husbandry and loves to sit and talk about the qualities of the various animals that pass the Barracks. His principal occupation is going to town and viewing the animals at Bennings. He is quite a reader and is ready to give information upon almost any subject that is being discussed in the English class. Hots is not much of a society man but spends considerable of his spare time in the vicinity of Berwyn. He says he attends church on Sunday there and that is his reason for going in that direction every Sunday. Per- haps he does, but what does he do be- tween church time and twelve o ' clock, the time he usually returns to college? Then again, he visits the Hagerstown Pair each Pall and his friends come back and tell of his prowess with the young ladies of that city. They must be true because his face usually be- comes the color of his hair when he is questioned concerning the truth of these stories. He says he intends to settle down after graduating, on a stock farm somewhere in Maryland. We know that he will have great success in his chosen work, as he is industrious and thoroughly understands the subject of stock raising.
