14 THE 1913 REVEILLE Lieutenant O. M. Henry Peck Ames College Park, Md. Agronomy Sophomore Year, Corporal; Junior Year, Color Sergeant; Senior Year, Secretary- Treasurer Rifle Club. Pete. But. Captain, can ' t a fellow get married after he joins the army? That yotmg fellow addressing the Commandant is the class sage — Henry Peck Ames — better known as Pete or Peter. Pete first decided to try this life on October 29, 1890, in that distant town of Oberlin, ( )hio. Yes, H. P. claims this as his home town, al- thongh we can hardly see whv. He started on his ])ursnit of knowledge in Henrico Coimtv School, ' a., where he proceeded to learn the three R s. Xo, this school was not named for our friend — he moved too (|uickly for that. In the year of 1899, -we find that Pete has chased knowledge all the way to Long Lsland. Here he entered the county school in Sus- sex County. At last the great day of his life .ar- rived. ( )ne warm day in September, 1907, Pete made his del)ut in our midst. , Pete is the life of our class. On more than one occasion he has saved us all from falling asleep in l ommy ' s class, by setting forth some timely argument that has overthrown one of our Prof ' s pet theories. From the depths of our heart we thank vou, Pete. Although given to farming, he goes in for rifle practice. He has done well at this, as his medals will show. Yes, there he is now with that box of keys in his hand. Notice that marksman pin on his coat? He is on his way now ' to open the armory. Late, did you say? Small matter; we have three-quarters of an hour for drill, you know. Pete is the original ladies ' man now. Do you ever walk down the pike on Sunday in the direction of Berwyn? That straight young fellow coming down the road swinging a cane is our esteemed young friend. I wonder where he has been? Pete has a failing for agricultural work, and expects soon to go back to the farm. We wish you luck, Pete.
