That ' s Commy. And may I ask, that lesser, that more stocky, figure immediately in his rear? That is the subject of this paper, A. C. Adams at your service, dies. Three days past, all Fool ' s Day, the biggest joke ever happened in Sanford, Florida. The Joke turned over, smelled the fragrant orange blossoms, littered a plaintive wail expressive of his dislike for the heat and proceeded to eat and sleep for a few months. When he became mature enough to permit of it his thought turned to migration. And migrate he did. To Jacksonville, Fla., to Chattanooga, Tenn., to Ironton, O., to Col- umbus, O., to Huntington, W. Va., to Newport News, Va., to Cincinnati, O., to TakomaPark, D. C, and here for some unknown reason he stopped. The assumption is that this is the end of his orbit and he is taking a breathing space before starting out again. He is due to depart once more about the time of the arrival of his contemporary, Halley ' s Comet. It was during tliis interval that Ches decided to investigate chemistry and tactics at Col- lege Park and Cupid ' s wiles at Hyattsville. His attention was engrossed by the various sub- jects in the order named culminating in the ' Ville. Adams procured his rudimentary education on the lunch counter style. It was a case of grab it and run, although the running demanded the most time. The University School of Cincinnati did once succeed in arresting his expeditious career for a year or so and managed to stock his roomy cranium with a few chips of classical education, but the fact remains that M. A. C. was the only place adequate to stop him long enough for us to learn anything about him. In June he will have completed the remarkable record of a three years ' hesitation in this revered spot. Ches is an all-round man. His versatility is only equaled by that of Sus. He is a star track man, can drag his nose over an ammonia bottle proving him a chemist of the first water, and knows almost one tenth as much tactics as Commy himself, a record hard to surpass. In addition to all this he once played football till relegated to the relay team and was at another time known to have scorched the air between Home and first base. According to his own statement the future now stares him blankly in the face, but we are assured of his one great resolution, to stay single and settle up before he gets married and settles down. No doubt his meteoric career will at some time or other be halted at a little town near his present alma mater, in which case M. A. C. may ever be assured of a valiant , un- tiring rooter for her athletic accomplishments. 18
