MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 27 Senior Private Walter A. Furst Baltimore, Md. Electrical Engineering i e is a good Electrical man, but of Calculus he knows nichts. Junior Year, Chairman May Ball Floor Committee; Sergeant. Senior Year, Chairman Floor Committee Rossbourp; Club; M. A. A. in football. This saintly visage here exposed to view is the exclusive property of Walter A. Furst, known to all of us as F uzzy. Such a perfect example of contentment one rarely sees, notwithstanding the fact that his troubles are not few. W. A. F. has grown very popular with the Profs since he entered these grim walls, and his popularity is still gro ' wing. Doc Tolly says, Men may come and men may go, but Calculus conditions stay on forever. One of his greatest accomplishments and the pride of his heart is his walk, which to the casual observer is a most perfect imitation of an intoxicated duck. Fuzzy likes it, and we almost believe admires it, so for that and vari- ous other reasons we endure it. Did you say Art? Believe me this specimen is right there on the art stuff. Such an artist in fact, that his signa- ture is an exact duplicate of Harrison- Christy. Even Myron has begun to realize that he moves in a world different from us human beings, and has gone so far as to allow him, on a number of occasions, to use his pet lathe. A deep baritone voice, which is the closet human approximation to a dying calf, still another of his proud accomphshments; and his classmates are unanimous in their opinion, that if he lives long enough, and a sufficiently great change takes place in his vocal chords, it is just possible that some day he may be able to attract Caruso ' s attention (by disturbing the peace). After considering the kind offer of the B. O. Railroad to supply him with the necessary appliances to become an electrical engineer, he decided upon the course in that science; hence the infliction of Fuzzy upon us as a freshman in the fall of nineteen hundred and nine.

26 THE 1912 REVEILLE Senior Private Allen B. Duckett Bladensburg, Md. Horticultural A divinity in disguise {well disguised). Sophomore Year, M in football, and in track. Junior Year, Captain Track Team; I in baseball, and in track. Senior Year, ' ice President Boxing Club. This l ristle-haired gink is one of the Burg ' s choicest blossoms and they sure did hate to let him go; so much so that ihey made him promise to come home every evening for fear that those bad rah! rah! boys would ])e rude to him, or corrupt his morals. But take it from the scril e, kind reader, you can ' t un- rotten a rotten egg. Yet he of the ministerial aspect and entle voice, is by nature an athlete. He can run well, any bad debt can do that; he can play ball, any grass-eater can do likewise; finally he can play football and is more or less one of ' ' Boo- hoo ' s favorites. Yea bo, but how the Duke does love the Deutcher Stu- dieren. He can detect Boohoo ' s cough a mile off on a foggy day, so look for the usual formula, late car. A fair dame once accused Sonny of looking like Duke, so Sonny hasn ' t spoken to her since? Can you blame him? Study the picture carefully girls and give us your candid opinion. Send answers to the Puzzle Editor. Still, the girls are just crazy about him and simply will not let him alone. They say that he has such a bunch of their photographs in his room that he has often to sleep on the roof so as not to disturb their quarrels over him. For a long while we were doubtful as to whether this class would get him or whether he would go with that maudlin crowd — the class of ' 11. But fortune smiled on us and he gives promise of graduating v ith one of the best classes that ever entered old M. A. C.

28 THE 1912 REVEILLE Senior Private W. S. Grace Easton, Md. Civil Engineering. Caesar had his Brutus, Charles II his Cromwell, and hy heck I have my Doc Tolly. Vice President Senior Class; Manager May Ball, ' 11; Assistant Manager baseball, ' 11; Sergeant Junior Year, Secretary New Mercer Literary Society, ' 11; Member Students ' Con- ference Committee, ' 11; Manager Baseball, ' 12; Secretary Athletic Association, ' 12; Chairman Student Assembly, ' 12. Bill, alias Frog, the alway present uncalled-for factor, is one of the small raw products of the Eastern Shore. Yet he never tries to conceal the fact of his habitation, especially if the sub- ject under discussion is a pile of oyster shells or musk-rat skins. Bill is the big cheese when it comes to intelligent looks, acquired by persistent posing before the looking glass. To show his high degree of intelli- gence in the business line, Bill organ- ized a corporation of which he made himself President. This organization under his leadersh ip will undertake all sorts of Engineering Problems, but its main efforts will be put in Engi- neering Love Affairs. Special rates will be given to Major Kemp, E. Z. Martz, and members of the Senior Class. As a joker Bill has the whole Class beaten a country mile. You might be able to conquer his wit but you will never be able to tame it. If you want to find Bill in a crowd, drawling his grossly-worthless, affected phrases, look for his pipe. As sheriff of the high perch of the New Barracks he holds full sway with his rat brigade. Wie gehts, Cy Perkins! I deputize thee to fix my bed. As soon as E. Z. Martz makes his appearance he is saluted with the following, Speaking of cheese, Martz, how do you feel? Immediately poor Martz is forced to retreat at the onslaught of the well organized rat brigade.
