16 THE 1913 REVEILLE Lieutenant Samuel W. Blankman, Company B Baltimore, ] Id. Civil Engineering Junior Year, Associate Biusiness Manager Triangle; Senior Year, Business Mana- ger Reveille, General Newspaper Correspondent. Isadore ' On this page we beg to present the Business Editor (Manager) of this book. He is no other than Caruso, Sammy, Isadore, Sol and $$$$. Take a glance at the cut. Does he not possess a handsome countenance ? Observe his piercing eyes. Apollo at last has his rival. Since his arrival from the Cr of the Chaldees, Issy has bewildered the world with his shrewdness and lousiness acumen. Just before this book went to press it was rumored that the beloved bru- nette h.ad been tendered a lucrative position as manager of a powerful enterprise, which he rejected ( ?) be- cause of his love for engineering. Yes, Sammy is a student. The eight languages which he studied are now .a fond recollection and dream, for often did we hear this lovelight spiel something ' ( ?), undoubtedly ef- fecting the auditory nerves of Profs. Spence and Taliaferro. As an engi- neer we must confess Issy has a bright future before him. His new method of mastering descriptive geometry is patented, and Samm - is l)usy exposing it to the ambitious. A report is circulated that Issy is at last in love. When? How? Who is a mystery ; but it is a fact. Some fair damsel seemed to have won his heart, and we may see him at any time sling a little ink to the fair one from ( ?) ( ?) To be just we must say that Issy is some singer. Often his sweet tenor voice entertained some few distinguished guests and about a dozen music con- cerns are now bidding for his services and the wond ' erful freak of a song ])oem which he recently composed. Caruso (Enrico), Mendelssohn, beware. Love Me and the World Is Mine and Lead Kindly Light are his favorites. ] S. — We neglected to mention that, despite his age and beauty, Sammy tips the scales at 187, and he is now very busy in i)reparation for his trip to Hot Springs. Here ' s luck to you, boy.

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 15 Baltimore, Aid. Lii-:l ' teNx .nt L. BlankiMAn, Company B Civil Eno ' ineering Senior Year, Associate Business Manager Reveille. AiNTADORE. Pardon me, please. This specimen is blessed, .and life is one blessed thing after another to him. Me. we mean Aintadore, thinks he knows it all, for when not arguing ' with Doc. Tolly about calculus or mechanics, he is seen discussing engineering prob- lems of great imjiortance, at Cats ' private emporium. In his rat year ( and thank heav- ens this was only last year ) Leo ' s nickname, which is still a mystery, did not appeal to us so he was chris- tened Aintadore, being a brother of Isadore. Since his existence at M. A. C. Ainty, technical information bureau, checker and advice giver has become assistant to Doc. Tolly in French ( ?). Doc. feels so gratified for Aintadore ' s assistance that he re- fused to excuse him from h ench classes after Leo thought he success- fully convinced Doc. that he knew French. As a military man (?) he has no peer. He was so advanced in tactics .and argued to such an ex- tent with the Big Chief concerning the various objects of military science that he finally made up his mind to divorce Major Dai:)ray consisted in not wearing a uniform and less drill. Ainty ' s chief attraction is his neatness. He shaves once every week, whether he needs it or not. His evening dress, with which he favored the entire com- munity between Riverdale and the Park, made many a dyed-in-wool sport go green with envy. Why he even washed, alone, his corduroys (once upon a time) and made them all wake up and take notice. Of his prospects as an engineer, we can hardly guess. He contemplates for his first big job that of .a blue print boy, stake carrier or some other equally res- ponsible position, such as Chief Engineer (janitor) of the Maryland Agricultural College. In conclusion permit us to say that Ainty is a jack-of-all trades. He shaves himself, presses his clothes alone, takes .a promine nt part in social affairs and be- lieves that women should be permitted to vote. His main ara ' uments

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 17 Captain Milton Ernest Davis, Company A.. Civil Engineering Baltimore, Md. Historian, Freshman Year. Corporal; President, Class; Vice-President, New Mer- cer Literary Society; Sophomore Year. President Class; Chairman, Junior Pro- gramme Organization and Reception Committee; Assistant Editor Triangle; Junior Year. Sergeant-at-Arms of Class; President of Rossbourg Club; Editor Triangle; President, June Ball Committee; Social Editor, Reveille; Manager, Football Team; Senior Year. Peck. This visage which greets you is none other than Milton Ernest, alias Peck Davis. It could be no other. Peck is the dyed-in-the-wool married man of the class (almost). Peck announced his existence l)y a lusty howl in 1892, and proceeded to develop his lungs with such howls as Papa make an elephant mit a shizel and a bo — ot, P,a — pa. He learned to read, and specially to write, at City College, and still holds a fond love for his previous alma mater. He then migrated to M. A. C. in 1909. As a society man, Ernest seems to drift during his first two years, but on July 6, 1911, Dan Cupid drove his magic dart home, and ever since then Uncle Sam has had a steadv customer on the mail trains, both coming and going to Roland Avenue, near the city line of Baltimore. He is Doc. Tolly ' s favorite, having been elected by him as assistant dean, due to Peck ' s wonderful ability to spiel formulas and make high grades on exams., in some of which lie has made as much as 584. As an athlete, his one shining light is lacrosse, having been a regular member of the Varsity team for four years. Peck has been a favorite ever since his arrival here. One can see by the numerous offices he has held that he is very popular, and as a Soph he was an ardent wielder of the hickory, while his present address is Elm Avenue. In the future Baltimore, Md., holds out inducements, matrimonial or otherwise, and Ernest expects to hie him thither and settle down, but we would suggest that he remain single and settle up.
