Paul Ridout Barrows Berwyn, Md Biological. Chief Bugler ' 08- ' 09. Company A Basket Ball Team ' 09- ' 10. Let the world slide. — Beaumont. Of their own merits modest men are dumb. — George Cohman. THE door opens carelessly, a light foot fall I ' I is heard on the laboratory floor, no one looks up — no one needs to look up. Every one knows it is Reds, and the first thing he is going to say is, Hey Little, got your notes? Give me a match somebody. And Reds set- tles down to work with the aid of his usual morn- ing smoke. On July 21st, 1893, in the flouriehing city of Berwyn tliere came into existence a queer little specimen of humanity, and there was a strange sound coming o ' er the world: a crying of dead prophets from their tombs, the songs of dead poets coming from their graves, and all seemed to prophesy the coming of something new in the line of a botanist, and Barrows was the result. At the age of 5 he made his first appearance inside the Berwyn School and there he remained until he was 13, when he decided that he had re- ceived too much education to remain there any longer. The first place he noticed was M. A. C. and so in the fall of 1906 he made his debut as a College student. Paul belonged to the Oggelets and as a gun was too large he was given a bugle, and as an M. A. C. bugler right valiantly did he toot. Finally he overcame a bugle in size and was given a gun which he has trailed around the campus for the past two years. Paul is the only boy of our class who has hair that can be told from a distance, and strange to say in making his selection of the fair sex he always seems to choose those, who have hair of a similar color. You would never think this boy to be a ladies ' man, but really he is at the head of the class when it comes to things of this kind. He is one of our day students and as a rule is away from his home almost every evening, but it is impossible for his mother to tell where he is because Paul is very popular in the social world and has a different place to go every evening in the week. As he is taking the Botanical course it would be perfectly natural for his first choice to be the Woods and so on Sunday evenings he can be found among the Woods of N. E. Washington. 19

OlIN Ray Andrews, First Lieutenant Company A Hurlock, Md. Agronomy. Sergeant Junior year. On ' Varsity Football team ' 08- ' 09- ' 10. Manager Lacross team. Member of Athletic Council. Associate business manager of Reveille. Of stature he is passing tall, And sparely formed, and lean withal. Who does the best his circumstance allows Does well, acts nobly, angels could do no more. -Shakespeare. w HO IS that walking down the hall with a long steady stride? This comely young man with a bold physique, clean cut fea- tures and an expression of honest trust in all mankind. He is speaking in short terse sen- tences, discussing with Henry some practical points in plant culture. O. R. Andrews, alias Puckum, was born at Hurlock, Maryland, May 11, 1888 — a loyal son of the Good Old Eastern Sho ' . His early life was spent in faithful and industrious service on the farm, meanwhile taking the course of primary school education. In 1905 Ray entered the Wil- mington Conference Academy at Dover, Dela- ware. It was here that he was dubbed Puck- um, which cognomen has clung to him ever since. It was also here that he made his debut upon the gridiron. After a year at the Academy Ray decided that a farmer ' s life should be his future career, and so thought it wise to complete his education in his state agricultural college. Andrews has been a faithful student during f, ' - ' his college course and is an ardent admirer of ,, -- Prof. Tollie, from whom he has received much ' ' individual attention, being the only man in the Senior class taking agronomy. In athletics, Puckum has had a long and honorable career on the gridiron, having been on the first team for the last three years. He was on the track team in his Fresh- man year and has done much towards making the Lacross games a success during the past season. In military affairs Lieut. Andrews has always been on the job, tho in tactics he and Commy could not always agree as to the proper commands necessary to put into execution certain complex battalion maneuvers. Ray has not yet, to our knowledge, entered the social arena, tho we have a well decided opinion that a certain fair damsel of Hurlock has a strong interest in the affairs at M. A. C. We wish to our friend and classmate, health, wealth and happiness as an Eastern Shore entrepreneur. 18

Charles Atwell ChaNEY, First Lieutenant Company B Mechanical Engineering. Reistertown, Md. Sgt. Junior year. Pres. Rifle Club Senior year. Associate Editor of the Reveille. A reasoning mule will neither lead nor drive — Mallet. He is in logic a great critic, profoundly skilled in analytic. — Butler. ill hall. Y GOSH, what a meal, but never the less Rooster Chaney otherwise known as the Chicken, can be seen grinding away after every one else has left the mess This is no singular occurrence for he can be seen every day in the same situation. Rooster first saw the light of day July 15, 1890, at Glyndon, Balto. County, Md. From Glyn- don he moved to Reistertown, from Reistertown to Glyndon and from Glyndon back to Reister- town. The last we heard he was still living in the last mentioned pl ace, but we would not be at all surprised if he had moved back to the other place — which ever one it is. He received his ear- ly education from the public schools, graduating from Franklin High School with honors. Chaney came to us in the fall of 1909, and entered the Sophomore class. He stands well in his class and is perhaps one of the best mathematicians that has gradu- ated at M. A. C. in years. Every one looks upon this white haired youngster as an expert track and lacross man. Abe True says Chaney is one of the fastest men he ever knew, for on their , , trip to Philadelphia he made a tour in five min- ' utes that would take any ordinary man two or three hours. Chaney has had many wonderful experiences for no one can relate an adventure but that he has had a more marvelous one of similar character. Chicken is a great marksman. He holds the highest record in the battalion this year and won the medal on the range in 1910. When not playing lacross or shooting he can be found on the pike in running suit with handkerchief tied about his head hit- ting the grit for a short distance run to Hyattsville or perhaps taking the ten mile circuit to Beltsville when he wants to whet up a good appetite. When time grows stale on his hands he takes a turn at sliding off the chapel roof under the mild delusion that it is the cellar stairs of his childhood. When it comes to snoozing Chaney needs no soporific charms. On one occasion in his Junior year it required the united efforts of all A company, half the band with their noise boxes and several pitchers of cold water to lure him back from slumberland. Chaney is a trained vocalist. His voice is one in a thousand and we are sure that he would make a grand success of Hindoo dirges. Chaney is a model of consistency. He takes much care to be equally proficient in all his studies and will not show partiality to his favorites by putting more time on those than others. He is Catfish ' s brag engineer and will have completed a broader course in math than any previous graduate of this college. 20
