A petition was sent to the Legislature of Maryland and permission was granted to change the school into a college. Reverend Dr. William Smith, who had come to Chestertown in 1780 as rector of the Chester Parish Church, was principal of the Kent County School at this time, and was responsible for raising the sum of ten thousand pounds which the state demanded should be raised for the support of the institution. Among the contributors was George Washington, who gave the college fifty guineas, and, while at camp at Newburgh, gave permission that the new institution should be named in his honor, Washington College. He wrote that he was pleased that this honor should be conferred upon him. The first commencement was held May 14, 1783, with impressive cere- monies and orations given in French and Latin. The next year Washington, who had been made a member of the Board of Visitors and Governors, made a visit to the College, where he was regally entertained. In 1789 he was given the degree of Doctor of Laws by this institution. In 1784, St. John ' s College was established at Annapolis, and for several years this College was united with Washington College as the University of Maryland. These two institutions were supported partly by state aid for nearly twenty years. An allowance was annually received and an able faculty provided for Washington College. Many of the most distinguished men of the state and of nearby states attended Washington College. V A.SiIl.N-f i ' 0 - COM.KOK.-. - i ,,-, ' . V. ! ' :■ ,. I. V .

As a result there was a rapid and hopeless decline. This was increased by the fire of 1827, which reduced to ashes the one building in which the Col- lege was housed. Although the Visitors and Governors were discouraged, they did not entirely despair, but rented a privat-e house in town and continued the existence of the College. A very small grant from the Legislature was secured, and by careful economy and the employment of only one professor a fund was accumulated which was large enough by 1845 to erect a new building on the Hill. The president at the time was Richard W. Rin- gold. He is responsible for the rebuilding of the College. That he succeeded is shown by a statement in The Kent News of August 22, 1846. We read, The recent exam- ination of the students of Washington College resulted most creditably to the pupils and professors. The scholars talk Latin like a book — they have Horace at their tongues ' end and read the most difficult orations in Greek as if they were in the vernacular. They understand, too, the philosophy of the languages, and are ready in a moment to give a reason for the faith that is in them. The algebraical solutions, the more complicated questions of arithmetic, and the demonstrations of the most abstruse problems of Euclid seem almost as familiar to them as household words. In 1847 the Mount Vernon Literary Society was organized. This is the oldest literary society in Maryland. Annual banquets were held by this society in honor of George Washington, and every year, on the evening before Commencement, an honorary address was given under its auspices. In 1849 Commencement exercises were resumed, no diplomas having been granted since 1827. The col- lege continued to prosper, and by 1854 two additional buildings were erected, one on either side of the main building. These were known then, as well as now, as East and West Hall. The era of reconstruction after the Civil War was one of poverty and depression for the South and for Wash- ington College. At one time the undergraduate registra- tion totalled only thirty-five, while but two professors were required. Through- out the two decades following the Civil War, the little college struggled to regain the prestige and support it had lost. The administration, 1873-1887, of William J. Rivers, A. M., was notable for reestablishing the scholarly repu- tation of the College. The gifts of President Rivers, how- ever, were for instruction, not for organization or adver- tising. Graduates were cultured, but they were few. State support and the leadership of Dr. Charles W. Reid, who assumed the reins in 1889, were together re- sponsible for enlarging and modernizing the plant and multiplying the enrollment. In 1892 nearly 120 students matriculated at the College. In the summer of that year the community built a gymnasium, which was equipped Charles w Reid generosity of the Board. The munificence of the Fo tZth Prescient State, atoning for the neglect of former years, financed the 1889-1903 erection of the three most pretentious and essential build- 1817-1823 ; 1854-1860 1931 PEGASUS James W. C.ux Fifteenth President 1903-191S ings on the campus. In 1896, Normal Hall, officially re- named Reid Hall in 1922 (after President Reid), was constructed, which since the abolition of that department in 1910 has served as a dormitory for women students. This was followed in 1906, under the administration of James W. Cain, by a commodious administration build- ing, housing both office forces and all the instruction of the College. This building resembles in effect the original building of the College, and was christened, in apprecia- tion of the illustrious founder, William Smith Hall. A fire in 1916 demolished the building, but it was immedi- ately replaced by one almost identical in every respect. The State continued its beneficence by replacing with a modern plant in 1912 the old gymnasium, antiquated by the phenomenal advances of college sport. During the administration of Paul Emerson Titsworth, Ph.D., LL.D., begun in 1923, the College has been widely advertised, its resources developed, and its organization, plant, and curriculum modernized. The capacity crowd of students, the enlarged and beautified campus, and the sound ideals and pro- gressive ideas of the College are attributable to the co-operative enthusiasm which animates both the Board of Visitors and Governors and the administrative and instructional staffs. With the rapid growth of the student body, new housing space had to be found. The College gained pos- session, by purchase and by the gift of Colonel Clarence Hodson, of the two houses on Washington Avenue directly adjacent to those occupied by the President, the Registrar and the Business Manager. Three fraternities, two of them occupying these houses and the third quartered in the southern half of East Hall, have solved the dormitory difficulty for the men students. J.AMES R. MlcOU Professor and Vice- President Emeritus 1887-1927 The almost magical transformation of Reid Hall from an insufficient brick oblong, with a raised veranda in the style of the nineties, to an imposing colonial structure, with a colonnaded facade almost exactly duplicating the porch of Mt. Vernon, solved most satisfactorily the question of where to put the increasing number of women students. The building now furnishes quarters for seventy-five students: its social parlors are spacious and luxuriously appointed, while the landscaping of the surrounding lawns makes the building ' s setting as attractive as its design. Several contributions to the beauty of the main campus have also preserved the traditions of the College and the associations with its namesake. To commemorate the 143rd birthday of the College on October 22, 1925, the Old Kent Chapter of the D. A. R. unveiled at the foot of the path leading to William Smith Hall a stone and tablet memorializing the fact of General Washington ' s giving his name to the institution in 1782 and receiving from it several years later the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Half way up this path there was planted on April 26, 1928, a grandson seedling of the great elm at pxul e. titsworth Cambridge, beneath which, on July 3, 1775, Washing- Eighteenth President ton assumed command of the Continental Army. The 192 3. 1931 PEGASUS path is now flanked by an imposing brick gateway, harmonizing with all the build- ings and topped by ornate lamps of colonial design. This gateway is the gift of four of the classes. Student and alumni generosity is responsible for the impressive stand of structural steel on the newly laid- out athletic field. Like the Washington College of the past 148 years of conscientious effort, the Washington College of the future will strive to continue to fulfill the prophecy of General Washington expressed in his let- ter to William Smith of August 18, 1782: Seventeenth President When that period shall arrive, when we 1 -t 1 1 1 c V -11 1919-1923 can hail the blest return of peace, it will add to my pleasure to see this infant seat of learning rising into consistence and proficiency in the sciences under the nurturing hands of its founders.

Gould ADMINISTRATION 1931 PEGASUS To the Class of 1931 S President, in greeting the seniors of 1931, I want to express to them two hopes: I hope first, that in perusing these pages now, and even more particularly ten years from now, they may have the joy of living again the glorious incidents of college life which will more and more take on a halo of splendor as college years recede. I hope second, that every member of the class may have put such earnest effort into his college work that, not only now, but particularly in the years to come, he may experience what every good craftsman enjoys — perhaps one of the most lasting satisfactions in life — an increasing sense of significant tasks accom- plished with zeal, imagination and roundness, which made their accomplishment in fact the pursuit of a fine art.

River, ten miles from civiH- zation, comes the quietest, the most pohte, and, rather oddly, the best-dressed man in the class. The sciences have attracted Bishop, and he divides his time be- tween the lure of the laboratory and the perilous paths of social adventure. For each of these pur- suits he is by nature well fitted, for his good nature is unsurpassed and his quiet, generous manner and his easy urbanity seem even to have a particular power over the prosaic test tube.

Under this independent, quiet manner are the contrasting characteristics which caused her to be nicknamed Funny. Practical and idealistic, witty and serious- minded, dainty and athletic, hard- working and fun-loving — in short a curly-headed, blue-eyed blonde always efficient and sincere. She has not yet decided whether to take up library work or teach- ing after leaving college, but suc- cess is certain. Her determination, intelligence, and ability will make her a valuable factor in whatever she may do: her enthusiasm and her widely varied interests will make her enjoy life as few can.

During her college career she has entered many fields of activity, being out- standing in athletics, an apt jour- nalist, an efficient executive, an in- tensive campustrist, and the best of friends. Grouse claims she is going to teach, but we have our doubts as to her continuing this vocation long enough to get a pension. No matter what her future may be, we are sure that she will accom- plish a great deal in life because of her high ideals of friendship and of professional accomplishment. Adelphia 1-2-3-4: Girls ' A.

She is an interesting conversationalist be- cause she always ha.s something to talk about. Elizabeth is one of the few members of our class who can count ability to play the piano among her accomplishments. She also sings quite well and has been voted a very graceful petite dancer in our June fetes.

Although we haye known him four years, his many qualities still continue to unfold themselves. He has consistently watched the processes of campus routine with an unusual amount of enjoyment and enthusiasm and his interested observation of everybody and everything has placed him contin- ually in the midst of college activ- ities and social life. Since his freshman year, Ken- neth has formed his own thought- ful opinions and upheld them to a satisfactory end despite opposi- tion. His independent nature and personal ability have brought him to the end of a successful college career. Pegasus Staff. Editor 4: Elm Staff 1-2- 4; Mount Vernon 1-2-3-4.

Maryland WILLIAM EDWIN FREENY Baltimore, Maryland ENSOR knows his colleges — he has circulated among a larger number of academic institutions than any other member of ' 31. Thus he is an educational cosmopolitan, bearing ing the stamp of varied and broad experience gained in his travels and in his studies. Ensor is fond of rapid locomo- tion, both on land in his roadster and on the bay in his outboard boat. Eight o ' clock classes are the bane of Ensor ' s collegiate exist- ence, and the legend is that he stays up all night to be sure of meeting them. Because experience counts, we prophesy a profitable business ca- reer for this smooth-tongued son of Baltimore. SLIVERS is certainly the jolly good fellow of his class — he can get more fun out of laughing at every- thing and anything than anyone we have ever known. In our hall of fame he could also hold the place of most popular man: he counts presidency of his fraternity, of his class, business managership of the Elm and Pegasus among evidences of his popularity. Freeny is ' Washington ' s heavi- est football man and one of the mainstays of the team. Avoirdu- pois is no handicap to him, for he is a graceful dancer. Even if Freeny carries out his threat to be a mathematics teacher, he is certain to enjoy life to its utmost. ■■ W Football 2-3-4: Varsity Club 2-3- 4.

He has done splendid work in science, his major field, and his active interest in it and kindred subjects points to success if he should decide to enter this field. At the present moment, however, he is undecided as to what profes- sion he will enter after graduation from Washington.

The fact is that his good-natured smile has tended to counter-balance the tem- peramental actions of red-heads. He has often been termed a rebel because of his firm convictions which have got him into innumer- able arguments and discussions. Vic ' s past two years of col- lege life have shown a decided change in him, especially politi- cally, and there is only success to be found beneath his actions.

ELIZABETH HELEN HUSZTEK Henderson, Maryland fjl MONG the things we will always remember about a Liz are her ready smile, ' her ability and willingness to sing for any occasion, and her conscientious study habits. Be- sides being an honor student, Liz has proved her talent as an actress in several dramatic club productions. She is fleet-footed on the hockey field, and a tenacious and ubiquitous guard on the bas- ketball fioor. Liz keeps somebody else ' s homefires burning, and minds someone else ' s children in summer that she may study in winter. We are proud of the splendid record that Liz has made, and feel sure that her courage, energy and determination will make her success inevitable.

Always neat, always composed, never seeking the spotlight, never shirking his responsibility, Louis has done his job and formed his friendships quietly and unobtrusi vely. Coach Kibler, never satisfied with less than perfection, has placed his approval on Knox ' s punctuality, his orderly efficiency, and his careful attention to detail by calling him a darn good manager. These same qualities are certain to insure his success in the laboratory — of commerce, or of instruction. Mt. Vernon 1-2-3: Y. M. C. A, 1-2-3.

Her qualities have won few friends, but firm ones. Despite her residence on the sandy pancake, the principle of her life is the worship of beauty. Her admiration is for perfection of color, sound, or motion, and of these her life is an illustration. Washington Players 2-3-4. President 4- Spanish Club 2-3: French Club 2-3: Y W. C.

We were, I suppose, the usual heterogeneous freshman group. We came full of illusions concerning college life, most of which soon died a bitter death. We had boundless curiosity and a great desire to be of use. Then came the first rat party. The men of the Class of 1931 arrived for the swan song of ratting in the grand style. It was a free and easy paddle that was swung in those days, and the rat that pointed townward only once a night was living the life of Riley. Aside from the ratting and its accompanying pleasures of noon-time work on the athletic field and the general rat restrictions, the freshman year was pleasant 1931 PEGASUS enough. It was a year of getting used to the setting, adjusting ourselves to the college community. We lost the tug-of-war and the football game, but took both losses with good grace and the majority of the college in back of us. We did about as much as any freshman class does, and did it about just as well as the average. There is usually a glamorous halo surrounding the memory of that first year in the minds of most of us, but, looking at it dispassionately, there did take place some of the best days that we may ever have, but also enough bad ones to make few of us care to live it over again. Our freshman year was, in a large sense, our freest year; we had little or no responsibility, and were tasting an independence that was new for most of us. In that first year was laid the ground work of what we were for the rest of our college days. Only fifty-six of the original seventy-eight members of the Class of 1931 returned for the second year. Some of the best did not return as well as some that were never missed. We were more sure of ourselves now, we were begin- ning to taste power. A new system of ratting was put into practice without too much grumbling on the part of the class, though some saw it as a means of taking away their prerogatives. We began to gain in importance and to be in the midst of various college activities. Both the tug-of-war and the football game with the freshmen were scored up as victories for us, although in the poster fight following the game the balance was over on the other side. The last of the year saw the arrival of social fraternities on the campus, which event was not at all helpful in making a more homogeneous group of the class. The junior year of the Class of 1931 was, like the sophomore, one only slightly disturbed with major events. It had not the glamour of the first year nor the activity of the last. It was, most of all, the final training for the big senior year. We did the work of the year as well as could have been expected, doing not brilliantly but at least more than adequately. Many of the members of the class were invested with a new dignity and more poise since the necessity of bawling at rats had passed. Any illusions about college that we might have carried with us this far died ignobly, and a jaded air was culti- vated by certain members of the class. We were beginning to feel our own importance keenly. The Class of 1931 began its senior year with forty-two members and the nearest thing to class unity that we had yet had. Despite the presence of definite cliques, something like an organized group presented itself to the world. We were important. We ran the college. For a time we actually had doubts of the possibility of running the college without us. It was only in our rational moments that we saw that we were just another in a long parade of senior classes that had gone forth from these walls since the college first graduated a class, almost a hundred and fifty years ago. We think, however, that we can stand with most classes that have gone out within our memory. We have con- tributed our quota to athletics, we have the best Elm that has been put out for years, the college life has run with less friction than it has for some time, and 1931 PEGASUS we have enjoyed it. The class itself got stirred to action, and a Senior Activi- ties Committee was created which arranged for all sorts of affairs from card parties and step-singing to faculty teas and supper and tea dances. From the senior point of view, the year has been a success. Along scholastic lines we have produced some excellent students among the women of the class, with the men making a barely creditable showing. Most of us have tried consciously to make the year a good one, a full one, and our success will be judged by the things we remember with the warmest feeling when ten years or more are past. The foregoing is a rather vain attempt to write the record of the Class of 1931. The attempt is vain, for it is the little details surrounded with associa- tions which make up our individual histories, but which would lose their savor or which are too personal to appear in print. And each member ' s history is different, as each individual is. The only value of the historian ' s work lies in the chance that some of his recordings may recall to the memory of the reader the details of the reader ' s own experiences during his college days at Wash- ington.

And the classification is not un- merited, for since its advent the class has made a visible impression on campus life. It is true that luck was not with it in the matter of freshman- sophomore football contests, since it lost both in its first as well as in its second year, but varsity athletics of the college have been liberally supplied with men from its ranks. In other fields of endeavor the men and women of 1932 have demonstrated that they are quite equipped to step into senior shoes. The officers of the Class of 1932 for its third year, otlier than President Robinson, were: George Howey Davis, Vice-President, and Louise Disbrough Simpers, Secretary. 1931 PEGASUS Roster of the Class of 1932 Frank Antoine Badart Albert Edward Baker Allan Hall Bonwill Charles Newman Bradley Walter Avery Branford Mary Elizabeth Brice Joseph Bringhurst, Jr. Roland Edward Bullock William John Carney Robert Leigh Cary Catherine Arabel Caulk Lindley Ewing Cook George Henderson Corddry, Jr. Uriah Oscar Coulbourn, Jr. Mildred Covey Grace Marie Culley William Hamilton Danneberg George Howey Davis James Henry Dorsey John Edward Fitzgerald David Barr Ford, Jr. Charles Augden Holland, Jr. Charlotte Carolyn Holloway Dorothy Anna Johnson Ruth Eleanor Johnson Harry Alexander Kansak Walter Esselman Karfgin Emmett Clarence Kauffman C aleb Rodney Layton Delbert Paul LeKites John Joseph Luddy John Fleetwood Mandrell Raymond Oliver McCullough, Jr. Henrietta Newnam Helen Wright Norris Archibald Russum Orme Howard Kiel Plummer Alexander Parks Rasin, Jr. Oliver Elwood Robinson, Jr. Florence Catherine Rosin Irving Scranton Ross John Lowry Sanford Harold Denwood Shriver Raymond Hilbert Simmons Louise Disbrough Simpers Marguerite Annabelle Storey Eleanor Titsworth Wray Joseph Tomlinson Helen Mae Towers Iris Virginia W allcr James Benjamin Williams Leslie Williams Helen Elizabeth Willis CLASS OF 1933 1931 PEGASUS 1931 PEGASUS President ;AMES ANTHONY CRIELLY The Class of 1933 T HE honor of being the only class for six years to win both of its freshman- sophomore football games goes to the Class of 1933. Outside of this, however, the accomplishments of the class are not great or outstanding. It is true, though, that its members have not yet had sufficient oppor- tunity to demonstrate their assorted abilities and that with the coming of their junior and senior years may come into their own. The second year is always a training period for the responsibilities which come in the last two years, and its showings can be taken only as indicative of the future.

A single year is not enough to evaluate to any extent a heterogeneous group of individuals. However, the class, taken as a whole, can be said to be quite promising. More than any other coming to Washington, the Class of 1934 has been accepted by the rest of the student body as human beings and not as errand boys. Just what influence this treatment has on the class will be interesting to note as it progresses through college. The only contributions of the class to the edification of the campus thus far have been a series of dummies caricaturing the sophomores which have been placed indiscriminately about the college. The officers of the Class of 1934, exclusive of President Gamber, were: Albert Edward Dobkins, Vice-President, and Ellen Elizabeth Flick, Secretary and Treasurer. 1931 PEGASUS roster of the class of 1934 jamcs turner anthony, 3d William paret atwater mabel grolT babcock dorothy may bates Joshua patte.son beasman elmer woodrow boyles portc: ray bradstreet he en ruth brice wi.liam milloway broadway maigaret ann brown will am thomsen brown wil.iam emory burkhardt sarah ellen byrn earle bland capel cmar james carcy irvin norwood carroU florence genevieve carvel benjam.n clay chapman lelio charamella charles branch dark katherine annabelle coUins elizabeth hobson cooper edwin tilghman coulbourn james deputy davis, 3d albert edward dobkins ellis charles dwyer kathryn corinne eastman marion jeanette tmmord david curley fisher John thomas flanagan el ' .en elizabeth flick ricbard monroe gamber anna elizabeth gardner albert philip giraitis richard wesley hall ralph evcrett harries harry william harrison grover bert bastings alfred stauffer hodgson Jesse james huid hclen elizabeth hut:hlnson tawes mcnamara insley william thomas jackson georgc rasin jones, jr. dorothy eshleman kimble erwin luther koerber Catherine frances mckeaney waiter keigwin mofFett sarah frances morris burdctte nutt ' .e everett paul harris paul wheatley tomlinson pippin linda marie poole orviUe delbert proudfoot patience hester pyle harriet mary ragan lucille rasin frederick william reinhold, jr. alex ' na navey robinson mary ruth sewell harry storer smith thelma barton smith John royston smithson gardiner Stanton somervell william frizzell stem John alfred wagner Samuel charles walls, jr. marvin Vandyke williams ' Ihruuuh ihe mud for ' 34. oty .

After two weeks of intense training the Sho ' men traveled to College Park, where the Uni- versity of Maryland was met in the first game of the gridiron campaign. As Captain Joe Phillips led a light but experienced line and a rather green backfield, little was expected, except to give the big Old Liners a battle. Although Maryland began immediately by scoring a touchdown, Washington came right back with a six-pointer, which was scored on a line buck by Dean, the fullback. With the field, weight and lack of substitutes against them, the Kiblerites wilted, and when the final whistle sounded the score stood Washing- ton 6, Maryland 60. The work of Phillips, Hope and Dwyer drew praise from the coaches, while Dean was outstanding in the backfield. The team now moved on to Philadelphia, where the All-Marine team was encountered in the first night game ever played by a football team representing Washington College. The Marines, with such ex-college stars as Lloyd, Bauer, Pressley and others, were battled to a standstill in the first and third quarters, but weight and experience again prevailed, and the Sho ' men dropped a hard- 1931 PEGASUS Sherkey, Stevens. Bringhui-st, Pluir.mer. fought game, 28-0. Plummer, the end converted into a fullback, played a bang-up game. At Baltimore, Loyola ' s Greyhounds were met in the annual game. At the half the score stood Loyola, 27, Washington 0. Making a comeback in the last half, the Maroons scored a touchdown when Deacon Gary inter- cepted a pass and ran forty yards for a score. Dwyer booted the extra point successfully. One touchdown was the best that Loyola could muster in this period. The final score stood 33-7 for Loyola. The Sho ' men ' s inability to cope with Loyola in air, although they more than held their own at the rushing end, cost them the game. In the fourth game of the season Washington had every chance to beat the little Quakers at Swarthmore. Starting like a runaway horse, Plummer scored on a series of line-bucks, but after that something happened to the team, for Swarthmore came back to defeat an apparently superior team, 33-6. Gast- Iron Dwyer was the best player on the field. Gaptain Joe Phillips turned in a good performance, as did Gamber and Dobkins. Gontinuing their wandering ways, the Maroons traveled to New York, where, with St. Johns of Brooklyn, they were engaged in another night game. St. Johns, with the best team that Washington met during the season, sent the 1931 PEGASUS Maroons home with a stinging 33-0 defeat. Phillips and Gainer did well in the line. Gainer ' s punting brought gasps of astonishment from the fans again and again. Usilton and Plummer did yeomen service in the backfield. Returning to Kibler field, Drexel ' s Dragons were encountered in the Sho ' - men ' s first game at home. Led by a tiny quarterback, Hughes, Drexel ran away with the game, 44-0. Lacking their full strength, and considering this fact, Washington made a most creditable showing. Plummer played real football, tackling viciously, as did Joe Phillips. Rebel Dean scored a number of passes in good style. Reinhold did well in the kicking department. Trekking up to Annville, in the Keystone State, Lebanon Valley was encountered on a field more like a quagmire than anything else. The elongated Pat Gainer put on a wonderful kicking exhibition. Time and again, stand- ing on his own thirty-yard line, he sent terrific kicks over the enemy goal line. At the half Lebanon had rolled up a score of 26-0. During the second half they were able to add only one more ace, the game ending with the score Lebanon 32, Washington 0. In the second half Dean played as though in- spired, and was instrumental in holding the score down. In the second and final home game, Susquehanna defeated the Kiblerites, 13-0. The game was hard-fought and good football all the way through. Glenn, the visitors ' kicking star, and Gainer put on a kicking duel, in which 1931 PEGASUS Dwyui-.

The condition of the field made the footing most uncertain, and the game was replete with skidding spills. Captain Phillips and Dwyer. husky tackles, shone in the line, while Dean and Reinhold looked good under fire. The curtain of the 1930 season was rung down with the annual game at Emmitsburg with Mt. St. Marys, traditional foes of Washington College. The Mounties had a strong team, with able substitutes, the combination of which was entirely too much for the little Maroon and Black team. Robinson scored on a long forward pass to give the Sho ' men their only pomts. Gainer topped off his season by far out-kicking the kickers of the home team. The score, as the gun sounded, stood 40-6 in favor of Mt. St. Marys. This game brought to a close the football careers of Captain Joe Phillips. Rebel Dean, Lee Roy Sherkey, Slivvers Freeny, Ed Stevens and Ox Hope During the season the play of Captain Phillips and Ellie Dwyer wa.s outstanding. Pat Gainer showed great promise at end, and established him- self as a kicker of no mean ability. Washington must do something in the way of improving its football team. How this is to be done is a question which cannot be answered here. This past year the team fought hard and, faced by almost insurmountable odds, could not be blamed for losing heart occasionally. The team deserves a great deal of credit for its courageous efforts. 1931 PEGASUS (y h 00 1931 PEGASUS Basketball Captain ' Ed Stevens Manager Kennon Perrin Personnel John Thomas Kibler Head Coach Frederick William Dumschott Assistant Coach Edward Leon Stevens Captain William Kennon Perrin Manager The Squad Forwards — Proudfoot, Giraitis, Johnson, Rasin, Hodgson, Dobkins.

With such veterans ItJ- I 3S Captain Ed Stevens and Ollie Robinson as a nucleus, Coach Tom Kiblcr and his assistant, Dutch Dumschott, moulded together a fighting team. Getting off to a rather slow start, the team gained momen- tum as the season progressed, and when the end was reached it was one of the best teams that ever represented the Shore institution. It played nineteen games during the campaign, and in fifteen of these carried away the laurel wreath. With such veterans as Captain Ed Stevens and Ollie Robinson as a nucleus. Coach Tom Kibler and his associate, Dutch Dumschott, moulded together a team which could have held its own with any in the country. The past campaign was another triumph for the Kibler system of basketball. Coach Kibler ' s All-Stars helped the Maroon ' s raise the Ed Stevens curtain on the season ' s play on the local floor. Here the Guard fans saw Al Giraitis, Del Proudfoot and Dick Johnson for the first time in Washington uniforms. The All-Stars, a mean aggregation, fell under a flurry of bas- kets by a score of 32-15. Following this victory, Washington had as an obstacle the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, which fell by the wayside, 32-15. Washington, however, ' caught a tartar on the home court when St. Joseph ' s of Philadelphia pulled the unexpected and the Kiblerites lost their first game of the season to the tune of 31-28. This, inciden- tally, was the first contest lost by the locals on their home court in four years. The blame for this defeat might be placed on the lack of experience of the team. Then came the second annual New Year ' s night bat- tle with the boys from Tiger town. Primed to avenge the defeat of the previous year, Washington showed Baltimore fans some real cage work, and, led by Pat Gainer, sent the Princeton boys home smarting under a 30-23 defeat. A powerful offense and a tight defense gave promise of the heights to which the Sho ' men would rise. The victory was quite a feather in the hats of Coach Kibler and his men. 1931 PEGASUS Drexel proved easy prey, and lost, 36-25, in their own gymnasium. St. Joseph ' s showed that their early season victory was no flash in the pan by smothering the Maroon quintet, 35-27. Ollie Robinson, shifty little guard, did yeoman ' s work, but to no avail. The Little Quakers of Swarthmore proved to have been very inappropriately named, for the basketball team was made up of veritable giants. However, the Sho ' men proved to be giant killers, for they emerged from the fray with the score 37-28 in their favor. In the first State game of the 1930-1931 season the Flying Pentagon ' s wings were clipped by the loss of its star center, Gainer. This was too great a handicap to overcome, so Johns Hopkins eked out a 20-18 win Washington fought hard all the way, but accurate lonf shots by the Blue Jays proved too much for them to cope with. At Emmitsburg, Mount St. Mary ' s was taken into camp, 34-20, with Captain Ed Stevens in the hero role. This victory over the Mounties was the first win for the locals in the State race. Pat Gainer Center Then came the game for which all basketball fans turn out, that with Loyola at Evergreen. Hard hit by the flu, Washington finally succumbed to the powerful and vic- torious Jesuits, 28-26. This game was a heart-breaker to lose, since the Greyhounds and the Flying Pentagon had long been hot court rivals. Stevens and Gainer fought like wildcats, but without result. This was the last game the Kiblerites lost, and after this were topped by no team. Fairmont, Juniata and Western Maryland tasted next the bitter dose of defeat at the hands of the team from Maryland ' s Eastern Shore. The score for the first game was 62-33: second, 36-24, and the third, 42-31. Then came one of the two climax points of the locals ' season. At College Park the powerful University of Maryland team, which was later crowned champion of the Southern Conference, was met and defeated by an ex- ceedingly close score, 33-32. This fracas produced great basketball on the part of both teams, and was a thrill from start to finish. The winning point was made on a foul throw by Dick Johnson after the game was ended. A hush fell after the bedlam that had marked the progress of the game as the slender Johnson stepped to the foul line. A swish of the cords and bedlam broke out with renewed volume and fury. All the team shared equally in the triumph which placed Washington in the same group Maurice rayme Guard 1931 PEGASUS with the foremost teams of the Southern sector. The ab- sohite will to win pulled the game from the fire for Wash- ington. With Washington playing with the never-say-die spirit, sweet revenge was brought about when Johns Hop- kin: went the way of all flesh and fell before an offense so powerful that the Blue Jays could offer little re3i5tan:e. The final score was Washington 45, Hopkins 28. Wash- ington played supreme basketball until the game was sev ed up, and, as one expert put it, the Sho ' men were abso- lutely unbeatable in the first nine minutes of the game. It was Pat Gainer ' s birthday, and in honor of the occa- sion he secured every jump at center and ran rampant in the matter of scoring. A tally of 23-11 was marked up to the credit side of the Flying Pentagon ' s ledger when Mount St. Mary ' s re- turned to their native haunts after a game marked by ex- ceptionally tight defensive work and cautious offensive play. Ollie Robinson Guard Taken from every viewpoint, the next contest was be- yond any question of doubt the most important of the season. It was the game with Loyola played on Wash- ington ' s home field and with Washington playing to win. So it was that the previously undefeated Loyola College team had its spotless record marked up by the Maroons, who triumphed, 34-28. The local coaches prepared an offense calculated to dent the Jesuit defense, and the plans proved wise and bore fruit in plenty. The Sho ' men proved invincible. In absolute contrast to previous games, in which speed played the dominant role, the local boys slowed things down to a minimum speed and awaited openings in the visitors ' zone defense. This plan of action proved most successful, for with Johnson, Proudfoot and Stevens dropping in double-deckers on passes from Gainer and Robinson, the Kiblerites enjoyed a substantial lead at the half-way mark. During this time Robinson was hold- ing the visiting ace practically scoreless, and the other sharpshooters on the visiting team were having a tough time attempting to make a go of it. Immediately after the beginning of the second half Gainer and Johnson left the court via the personal foul route, and with them went the high hopes of even the most faithful of Washington followers. But Ross and Giraitis, who were put in their places, came through in a pinch, and more than filled the shoes of their predecessors. The Greyhounds at one time pulled abreast of the Sho ' men, but determination and fight ' Dick Johnson 1931 PEGASUS won out in the end. In this game Ed Stevens reached the peak of stardom, though it is hard to say just who was the real star of the game — whether it was Stevens or even one of the substitutes. On that night in particular a Fly- ing Pentagon playing in its own back yard simply did not know how to lose. Following this battle, the Western Maryland game was something of a let-down. It was a case of do as you please as far as Washington was concerned. The result- ing score was 36-26, in the Maroon ' s favor, of course. Washington 36, Alumni 31. The very closeness of the score showed that members of the Flying Pentagon do not lose their skill after they graduate from college. In fact, in the second half, when the has-beens — a decided misnomer — were supposed to wilt through lack of condi- tioning, they outscored their much younger rivals, although they could not overcome the big first half lead. Such famous stars of former Pentagons as Cavanaugh, Carrington. Jacobs, Giraitis and Chapman showed that they had lost none of their old cunning and precision. With the Alumni game another Washington College bas- ketball year ended. ■Al Giriatis The results of the 1930-1931 season proved no excep- tion to the rule that Washington has always one of the strongest basketball teams in the State ranks. Although nosed out of top honors by Loyola, the Sho ' men covered themselves with glory on several notable occasions. The Maryland game and the second game with Loyola were particular highlights in the year ' s string of contests. Pat Gainer, standing far and wide above all other competitors, was chosen as center on the All-State basket- ball team selected by The Baltimore Sun. Captain Ed Stevens proved himself an excellent captain, and, in bring- ing to a close a brilliant athletic career, was ranked high among the Free State guards. Each individual performer deserves special comment for his splendid work during the season. In addition to Captain Stevens and Pat Gainer, the following achieved the varsity W : Captain-elect Ollie Robinson, Dick Johnson, Irv Ross, Maurice Rayme, ' Del Proudfoot, Al Giraitis and Kennon Perrin, the manager. Since only Stevens and Rayme are lost by grad- uation, the 1931-1932 edition of the Flying Pentagon should have a most successful campaign. Success in a large measure is expected of all Washington College bas- ketball teams, and seldom have they disappointed.

The Student Council m URING the year 1930-1931 the Student Council passed a very unevent- ful year. There were no cases of outstanding importance. One case of cribbing was reported and handled satisfactorily to everyone concerned. A new rule was inaugurated in regard to the conduct in the men ' s dormi- tories, and a student committee was made responsible for the conduct in the various buildings. This committee did not actually function, however, beyond the issuance of a Code of Good Fellowship. A new regulation was passed making for a more efficient handling of trials within the Council. At the beginning of the year an attempt was made, in co-operation with the Blue Key Fraternity, to revive the Frolic, which had been banned by the Activities Committee of the faculty, in the form of a Saturday night dance at Reid Hall. This attempt was more or less successful. The freshman-sopho- more events, the tug-of-war, the pajama parade and the football game were handled well indeed by the Council. An attempt was made to solve the ratting problem by the institution of a Vigilance Committee composed of sophomores, which was to try cases of rat-rule violations and which was directly responsible to the Council. On the whole, the Student Council functioned smoothly and invisibly during the school year. 1931 PEGASUS Left to riijht, standing: Sherkey, Freeny, Dean.

The Dean ' s Cabinet T HIS year Washington College has begun an experiment in student admin- istration co-operation which may prove fruitful indeed in the future. At the beginning of the school year Dean Jones called together the eight men whom he considered to be the representative men on the campus by virtue of their various positions as class presidents, fraternity heads, or publica- tion editors, and outlined plans for a permanent body. The group was to meet with the Dean and discuss current campus problems. The capacity of the organization was to be primarily and solely advisory, and was hoped to give the Dean a cross-section of college thought and opinion. The value of the organization is not to be gauged from this its first year in operation. Meetings have been held monthly, and matters pertaining to the student body have been discussed at length. Just what practical benefits have resulted to the college from this activity cannot, of course, be measured, but there can be no doubt but that much could be done to alleviate the petty fric- tion between the administration and the student body through an organization of this type. 1931 PEGASUS Mount Vernon Literary Society T the beginning of this, its ninety-fourth year of existence, the Mount Vernon was faced with the problem of either continuing the vaudeville style which had characterized the programs of the last few years or attempting to become truly literary. The latter course was chosen, and the attempt met with partial success. Of course, as in former years, most of the work was done by a very small group, but every effort was made to bring about wider participation. Then, too, a cleansing of the Society took place, and only active members were retained within the fold, leaving a compact and interested group. The programs have been varied, including sketches, extem- poraneous talks, one-act plays, addresses by faculty members, musical numbers, group readings and other features. For those participating in the exercises the year has been an interesting one. The annual Mount Vernon Banquet, in honor of the birthday of George Washington, was held this year on the twenty- fifth of February. OFFICERS First Term Second Term Robert Payne Dean President .

It was felt that the interest had been waning for several years and, although a few members loyally attended the meetings, the original purpose as a literary society has become almost obscured. A regular program committee was appointed which endeavored to make each program a literary unit. This plan prospered for a time, but interest began to die out again when, at the suggestion of a faculty member and acted upon by the remaining few interested Adelphians, a new system was introduced. This is to go into effect next year, and it is felt that it will prove successful. Standards of admission have been set up, as have specific duties of membership, so as to make the society truly literary. Despite the lack of interest and co-operation, those who have attended the meetings and have kept their interest in the society feel that this marks one of the most interesting years of the Adelphia.

It furnishes an opportunity for students accomplished in instrumental music to associate themselves in a group interested in the better type of music, as well as rendering a service to the college community.

The Club considered itself highly honored when a double quartette was chosen from its members to sing at the funeral services. To Professor Kilpatrick is due in a large measure any success which has come to the organization. The public appearances of the Glee Club have been limited this year chiefly to the college and to Chestertown itself. A concert was given at Rock Hall, and arrangements are being made for one to be held at Cambridge, but other than these all appearances have been made on the home grounds. In the early part of the year the Club gave, in co- operation with the Concert Orchestra, a concert for the benefit of the unemployed and needy of Kent County. The Glee Club has also taken part in four vesper services, and its quartette and double quartette have been much in demand to furnish music for banquets and other local affairs in the community.

TH the presentation of Laff That Off during Commencement Week, the Washington Players will have completed another successful season under the very able guidance of Professor John D. Makosky. The first production of the Players was a lurid mystery melodrama called The Creaking Chair, and dealing with stolen jewels, secret hates, Egyptian idols, sudden murders and the like. It was given shortly before Christmas to a large house of college students and townspeople. The second bill of the organization was presented publicly just before the college closed for the Easter recess. It included three one-act plays. The first of these had a self-explanatory title, Who Kissed Barbara? ; the second was called Which Is Which and was staged after the fashion of the late I870 ' s, and the third was a farce trans- lated from the French by Miss Le Kites and was entitled, Two Deaf Men. All three plays were cordially received. The type of play given is limited by the financial resources o f the organ- ization together with the inadequacies of the stage facilities. The Washington Players are hoping to eventually enlarge their program and give plays of a more serious cast as well as comedies, farces and melodramas. 1931 PEGASUS Left to right, standing: Richards, Clarke, Douty, Layto Seated : Knox, Perrin, president ; Ross. The Cotillion Club €1 HE Cotillion Club has staged its usual five dances, under the supervision of the Cotillion Club Commiltee, pictured above, and the dances can be called successful without any qualifications. The first dance, the Opening Cotillion, featured decorations of a futuristic trend in black and white: the second, the Christmas Cotillion, had as its main attraction a negro orchestra playing under a multi-colored dome of crepe paper; the third, the Mid-Winter Formal, was decorated to represent the inferno, with flames en- gulfing the dancers; the fourth, the Homecoming Cotillion, had Miss Elizabeth Applegarth Mace, of Cambridge, as its sponsor: and the last, the Senior Ger- man, which was placed in direct charge of the senior class, with the Committee co-operating, was given in a ballroom filled with and scented by evergreens. The music for all of the dances can be classed with the best-played jazz that can be reasonably secured in the East. The Cotillion Club dances are open for subscription to all students of the college and to all alumni, together with those on an approved list drawn up by the Committee. 1931 PEGASUS Left to Right, Standing: McCullough, Smith, Knox, Cook.

Washington College Debaters T the time the Pegasus went to press the Washington College debaters, under the capable leadership of their president, Carter Malcolm Hickman, and their manager, Raymond Hilbert Simmons, had won three out of the four debates in which they had participated and had good prospects of beating the St. John ' s team, which will journey over to Chestertown late in the spring. The subjects which were debated this year were: Resolved, That the Nation Should Adopt a Policy of Free Trade, and Resolved, That the Policy of Chain Stores Is More Detrimental Than Beneficial to the Best Interests of the Community. The four contests were held with Western Maryland College and with Albright College, featuring a home and visiting match with each. The meet that was lost was the one held with Western Maryland at Westminster. Plans are under way for a fuller schedule for next year, together with a program for the stimulation of greater student interest in debating. OFFICERS Carter Malcolm Hickman President Raymond Hilbert Simmons Manager and Treasurer 1931 PEGASUS 1 The W Club il URING the last half of the present year the much-deflated Varsity Club was revamped, and came through the process with a new name and several very definite purposes. The prime purpose of the organization under the new system is the promotion of good sportsmanship at all times. Besides this function, the club will award emblems to graduating ath- letes in recognition of their athletic contributions while at Washington: it will conduct an annual dance and banquet: it will assist in making out the Home- coming program and in the entertaining of visiting teams: it will bestow the letters granted by the Athletic Council: and will attempt to elevate the stand- ing of the W. Just how many of these purposes will be realized is, of course, a question which cannot be answered for a time, yet, however, if the spirit going into the formulation of the purposes continues to prevail, a success- ful career seems to be the future of the organization.

Meetings have been held regularly, with the exception of the six weeks occupied by the Religious Training School, and interesting discussions have been the features of most of them. There have been outside speakers at various times, notably Harold B. Ingalls, the regional secretary. As in former years, the Y has run an employment bu- reau, the functioning of which was to be the point of contact between those outside the college desiring help and those students wishing to find work. Due, perhaps to the general business depression, there has been little demand this year upon the bureau for its services. The Washington College Handbook was also under the supervision of the Y. M. C. A., which took charge of it edi- torially and financially. During Commencement Week a speaker will be brought here by the Association to address the student body. The officers of the Association are: President, Lindley Ewing Cook; Vice-President, Ralph Everett Harries: Secretary, Walter Avery Branford, and Treasurer, Emmett Clarence Kauffman. 1931 PEGASUS Washinston College Golf Association HE Washington College Golf Association has done much to add to golf- ing interest at Washington in this, its first year of formal organization. Due chiefly to the enterprise of its president, Howard Beauchamp Owens, the Association mapped out a suitable campus five-hole course and equipped it with sand tees, cups and flags. An All-College Tournament was held early in the fall and was won by Louis Knox, ' 31, with Edwin Theodore Luckey and Howard Beauchamp Owens, both of the same year, as runners-up. A match was held also this fall and continued this spring with a team from the local high school, and was played on the links of the Chester River Yacht and Country Club. Plans are under way for another college elimination tour- ney to be held as soon as weather permits. The officers for the year were, in addition to President Owens: William Hamilton Danneberg, ' 32, Vice-President; Edwin Tilghman Coulbourn, ' 34. Secretary and Treasurer; Virgil Bartlett Bishop, ' 31, Chairman of the Equip- ment Committee, and Edwin Theodore Luckey, ' 31, Chairman of the Rules Committee.

PUBUCATIONS 1931 PEGASUS Left to light: Douty. Fi-ecny, Coulbourn, Robii The Pegasus T HE first yearbook of Washington College saw the light of day in 1895. It was called, most appropriately, the Alpha. Besides being the first annual, it also was the last one for fourteen years. Just why no other edition was attempted is a matter for conjecture. In 1909, however, another try was made, and in that year the first Pegasus made its appearance. Why it was that a yearbook in a school with such a decided colonial back- ground should be given a name taken from Greek mythology is a seemingly unfathomable mystery, although it has been suggested that it was due to Dr. James W. Cain, then president of the college. Whatever the source of the title, this series of the Pegasus was an ill-started venture, for there was only one more issue, and then a vacancy of seventeen years appears, during which no yearbook was attempted. The cause for the death of the book at that time is to he found in the fact that the second issue found itself some six hundred dollars in debt when the time arrived for bills to be paid. So the Pegasus passed from the Washington College scene for almost two decades. The new series of the Pegasus, of which this 1931 edition is the fifth volume, began with a slim book in 1927. This annual would have won no prizes, but it was what was needed — it was a starter. Since that time the copies of the Pegasus have grown increasingly good both in quality of work- manship and in material. We can only hope that this 1931 Pegasus is worthy of its predecessors. 1931 PEGASUS Left to right, standing: Coulbourn, Dean, Robinson, Hope. Seated: Bowen, Harwood.

L ' to beginning of this school term the dissatisfaction with the name ' ' of the paper crystallized into a definite movement, and the name Colle- gian was dropped and that of the Elm was put in its place. The change was thought not only to give a more distinctive name to the paper, but also to tie up the title with some part of the campus existence. The 1930-1931 edition of the Elm has been the best within the memory of the present student body. Last year was the first to see the Elm in a readable, editable format, and this year has seen the contin- uance of the attempt to make it a minia- ture of an urban newspaper as far as make- up is concerned. W. Kennon Perrin, the editor for the past college year, is to be congratulated both on the capability of his execution and the sincerity of his work. Not only has he directed the work as a whole, but he has frequently done much of the detail work as well. He has at- tempted to make the Elm a paper for the expression of student opinion, and in do- ing so has incurred criticism, the justice of which is debatable. Any success the Elm has had this year is directly due to Perrin ' s efforts. 1 1931 PEGASUS Staff of the 1930-1931 Edition of the Elm W. Kennon Perrin Editor-in-Chief- Irving S.

Will Shakespeare. t 1931 PEGASUS The June Fete N the June Fete of 1931. Miss Geraldine Rogers Harwood will be the Sleeping Beauty and Katherine LeKites will be the Prince of the story, which will be por- trayed by pantomime and by dances, in which the entire body of women participate, and a resume of which follows: When the Princess was born there were seven fairies to give her gifts of beauty, grace, cleverness, and the ability to dance, sing and play well. One wicked old fairy who had been forgotten came to the christening and said her gift should be that the Princess should prick her finger on a magic pin and die. But the youngest fairy, who had been saving her gift until last, said that the Princess should remain asleep in- stead, until a king ' s son should find and wake her. Harriet Naudain Moore Queen of the June Fete of 1930 On her sixteenth birthday, while dressing for a great party, the Princess pricked her finger as she pinned on a bouquet, and fell asleep. And the fairy came and put everyone to sleep in the castle so that they would all wake when the Princess did. Then the flowers and thorns grew up around the sleeping Princess and the winds and rains frolicked in the garden. A long, long time afterwards, a king ' s son was out hunting, and chanced to come into the garden. Seeing the beautiful Princess asleep, he fought his way through the tangle of thorns to her side. When he stooped and kissed her hand, lo, the Princess and all the castle awoke. And the Prince crowned her as his Queen, and they lived happily ever afterwards. That is the story of the June Fete of 1931, which will be held beneath the trees on the college campus during June Week.

Women ' s Student Government Association IHE Women ' s Student Government Association began the year with a new advisor, Miss Margaret Brewer, Associate Dean of Women, replacing lF I Miss Genevieve Boland, who resigned last year. The rules were revised in an attempt to do away with petty regulations that were of no conse- quence and concentrate on remedying more important offenses. By doing away with ambiguous statements, the Council has been enabled to carry on its admin- istration work more efficiently. The Council feels that this has been one of its most successful years, since there have been no major violations of rules nor cases of extreme importance. Under the sponsorship of the Student Council, the girls have given three dances this year — the Scotchman ' s Ball, the Valentine Party and the Easter Dance, as well as several teas. During this, our second year in our remodeled, well-equipped dormitory, the girls bought a radio, which has added much, both socially and culturally, to life there. A spirit of co-operation among the girls and effective adminis- tration on the part of the advisor and the Council have caused Reid Hall to function more smoothly than ever before. Since the above picture has been taken, Genevieve Carvell, ' 34, has been elected freshman member of the Council. 1931 PEGASUS Young Women ' s Christian Association N this, its fourth year of organization at Washington College, the Young Women ' s Christian Association can number among its accomplishments several very successful activities. Ministers from Chestertown churches have addressed the members on interesting and appropriate subjects at the vesper services held on Rionday afternoons. Several teas have also been given by the Y, to which all the college women have been invited. The Association co-operated with the Kent County Chamber of Commerce in a campaign to aid the needy of the county. The girls donated dolls, toys and games to the children of the poor. On the evening before the Christmas recess the Y sponsored a party at Reid Hall for the college women, at which gifts were exchanged and carols sung. The Christmas tree in the Reid Hall drawing room was trimmed by the members of the organization. The Association was instrumental also in the sponsoring of an art club specializing in handicraft work.

The newer theory of intra-mural sports is being emphasized. We are proud to say that the Women ' s Athletic Association of Washington College stands behind this development, thus placing Washington among the forerunners of the movement. It is felt that with inter-class games the best type of sportsmanship is to be created and the possibility of hostile rivalry is eliminated. In intra-mural sports it is possible to strive for the general development of the school as a whole rather than the making of a few trained athletes, as under the inter- collegiate policy. Basketball, probably the most outstanding sport at Washington, illus- trates this fact particularly well. Approximately four dozen girls have a chance to participate, while under the intercollegiate system there would probably be only a dozen. Besides hockey and basketball, the two major sports for women, Wash- ington also offers tennis, fencing and archery. Although fencing and archery are comparatively new sports here, the list of enthusiasts has grown greatly this year. Perhaps because of the system of individual responsibility for the playing off of the matches, tennis is not widely advertised about the college as are some of the other sports. Those who play are to be praised as true athletes, since it is only the devotee who will train until the very end of the school year in order to compete on a hard-packed court under a hot southern sun. This resume of women ' s athletics should not be concluded without men- tioning the creditable work done in the whole physical education department by Miss Doris Thistle Bell. 1931 PEGASUS Left to right, back Middle row: Russell, Bowen, Holloway.

As early as the opening game of the season the Maroon team showed that it meant business. It was not until the very end of the game that the decisive point was tallied and the Maroons had wrested a 4-3 score from the unwilling hands of their rivals. In the next game the Blacks held their opponents to a 1-1 tie. Just before the final game rain made the sod heavy and the playing very slow. The Maroons, however, played a determined game, and were never during the course of the game menaced by the Blacks. The score was 3-2. 1931 PEGASUS Left to right, back vow Front Schmidt, Rosin.

The brand of basketball played by the girls of Washington Gollege has caused not a few favorable comments. Contrary to the usual custom, the sophomores nosed out the seniors and captured the championship. The freshmen and juniors proved to be not very serious obstacles, and from the beginning of the season it was evident that the decision rested between the seniors and the sophomores. The seemingly invin- cible senior hexagon, which had selfishly held to all basketball honors through- out its career, surprisingly gave way before the sophomore onslaught to the tune of 28-19 and 24-10. Never during the two games was there much doubt as to which was the superior team. 1931 PEGASUS Lett to right: Mace. Rees. Byrn Tennis FALL TOURNAMENT— 1930 Inter-Class Doubles Mace and Rees.

The happy event took place in the law offices of Hope H. Barroll, who was made secretary of the Association. E. F. Per- kins presided. From that time until 1916 the organization existed in but little more than name, with no lists of alumni being kept and often no minutes as records of the meetings being taken. W. DE GOLDSBOROUGH BOUNDS. ' 1 President of the Washington College Alumni Association, 1930-1931 In 1916 a complete reorganization took place and a new constitution and new by-laws were drawn up. From that time on the Alumni Association has been an active, integral part of the life of Washington College. The annual meeting of the organization is always held on the Saturday evening preceding the Monday on which the Commencement Exercises are held. The day is entirely given over to the old grads and a full program arranged. This year the program begins with a luncheon at noon, and includes an alumni baseball game in the afternoon and a dinner-dance and meeting of the Alumni Association at night. A great number of the former students are expected to attend these functions. The June Ball is given by the Alumni Association in co-operation with the Cotillion Club Committee, and is held on the Friday evening before the night of the Alumni Association meeting. Another activity was added to those already on the Association ' s list when bi-monthly Wash- ington Alumnus made its appearance this year. OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Wade G.

The Baltimore Chapter has become increasingly active, and its annual dinner is a social event. At a recent meeting. L. Wethered Barroll. ' 08, was elected president of the chapter. Dr. Emil J. C. Hildenbrand. ' 26. was chosen vice-president, and Page G. Young, ' 19, was named secretary-treasurer. THE PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER On November 14, 1930, the Philadelphia Chapter held a dinner-dance to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Activity has characterized the Chapter since its beginning, and it is known as the donor of a medal to the most representa- tive senior, the founder of a Student Loan Fund, and a generous contributor to the college. The officers for 1931 are; Helen G. Mills. ' 24, president; George W. Powell, ' 02, vice-president: J. Stanley Long, ' 28, second vice-presi- dent; Maude O. Hickman, ex- ' OO, secretary and treasurer, and Mary E. Ford, ex- ' 29, assi.stant secretary and treasurer. THE WASHINGTON CHAPTER The Washington Chapter of the Alumni was organized in 1922 with Dr. W. H. Toulson as its first president. The officers for next year include: Colin F. Stam, ' 16, as president; J. Leo Brown. ' 10, as vice-president; Susie J. Frazier. ' 10, as secretary, and Gordon D. Nicholson. ' 98, as treasurer. THE NEW YORK CHAPTER Through the efforts of Dr. Titsworth, Colonel Hiram Brown. ' 00. and Baker Shelton, ' 28, eight alumni were gathered together to have dinner on a January evening in 19 30. This group was the basis of the New York Chap- ter of the Alumni Association, and when the second annual dinner was held the attendance was double that of the first. Officers for next year are; William B. Usilton, ' 29, president; Albert H. Porter, ' 09, vice-president; and Adrienne Richards, ' 28, secretary-treasurer.

Up Washington Avenue we trudge with weighty suitcases, until at last we pass through the gateway and are back again at Washington. Back to Washington, where we see, waiting to greet us, classmates from other sections whom we haven ' t seen since college adjourned for the summer. And now, being seniors, we see our freshman days in a sort of haze and look at pictures taken in those distant times with great wonder- ment, and can hardly believe that those simple youths could have been the predecessors of our own world-wise selves. The first major event of the year is the traditional rat party held always on the Sunday night before the first classes begin. While one group of sophomores give the frosh their introduction to college night life, another sees to it that they burn more midnight oil when they return to their rooms. 1931 PEGASUS In Review Here our demon photographer has caught one of the unfortunate freshmen attempting to find solace in prayer during that memorable cvenina. The freshman girls, too, are made to go through the process, and here we have them showing off to good advantage the costumes prescribed for them by the sopho- mores. And, since the weather contin- ued warm, one enterprising soul rigged up this sleeping outfit be- hind one of the fraternity houses and there communed with nature to his heart ' s content. Only occasionally did rain come to lighten the drought, and on the night of one of these occasions this picture was taken, looking from the stone towards Bill Smith. 1931 PEGASUS The first freshman - sophomore event is the annual tug-of-war, and here is a bird ' s-eye view of the crowd that gathered to see the freshmen pulled through the mud. This freshman is none the worse for his free mud bath, though there are grave doubts if his clothes will ever be the same. Next on the program is the Hal- lowe-en pajama parade and bon- fire. This is the fire built by the freshman from wood collected far and wide in Chestertown. And here is a group of pajama- clad frosh waiting to entertain the upper-classmen and the townspeo- ple. The audience had a good time. 1931 PEGASUS The football season has started in earnest, and here is the first game of the vear on Washington ' s field, the game with Drexel Insti- tute, which we lost, 44-0. This is to prove that the game is hard on the spectators as well as on the men on the field. One of those little divertise- ments which enliven the game is shown by the odd combination here presented. Just before the Thanksgiving recess comes the freshman-sopho- more football game, bringing with it some real excitement to the cam- pus. This dummy, representing the sophs, is one of the evidences of the frosh daring. Unfortunately the game was fought to a scoreless tie. 1931 PEGASUS Winter finally comes to Ches- tertown and catches, among others, these three lads, who were among those to return early from the Christmas recess to get ready to beat Princeton. Another visitor on the campus shortly afterwards was the Pegasus photographer, whose amazing re- sults are scattered through these pages. To vary the monotony of a Chestertown Sunday afternoon were the occasional Vesper Services to which these people arc going. The first sign of spring was the shaking of the mothballs from the lacrosse equipment and the prelim- inary training before the big grind began. 1931 PEGASUS Another evidence of the advent of spring v as the beginning of those long, slow strolls, which are Washington ' s favorite way to pass the afternoon when warm days ap- proach. And the Washington Elm shows signs of life, and does very well for a two-year-old. And here is Puffy Pessel, whose affairs were dealt with so aptly in the Washington Players ' Which Is Which? and in the Express Consent issue of the Elm, and whose presence did so much to en- liven the dying year. And then, when the campus is at its best, we must leave Wash- ington and point homeward, find- ing it hard to realize that another year has gone by. ■KjUS viz?. aB ' -jiL, 1931 PEGASUS Program for June Week SATURDAY, MAY THIRTIETH 8.00 P.

Now lights the glimmering lamp on old Bill Smith, And stories of the night are yet untold Save gossip from Reid Hall — all one long myth I Yes, how the campus dirt can there unfold. Beneath these rugged roofs I ' ll spend this night, Where I have squandered many nights before, But I am soon to sink as grad from sight — Oh, epitaph! My college life is o ' er! 1931 PEGASUS 1931 PEGASUS 1931 PEGASUS WILLIAM KENNON PARINGS BURYBURYSALS, MARYLAND mrlLLIAM is the sophisticated , 3s4 Adonis of the class. He has always a witticism on his tongue ' s end and a girl on his arm to admire his pro- file. If the boy can ' t get ' em, no- body can. All joking aside, though, William is a fine fellow and very well liked by all who know him. despite an early attach- ment to Virginia Moore. He has taken part in many college activi- ties, and will long be remembered for his work in the Glee Club. Yes, sir! Pep, enthusiasm, twink- ling blue eyes, a winning smile, wavy, oozing personality, just a pal — that ' s William. ' m. WILLIAM SLIVERS CREAMY Faultimore, Maryland vwrllE have learned to know him a by his calisthenic laugh and vibrating personality. At the soda fountain, in Reid Hall, or at the bar, he is always the same. His face will register disgust at will, or, if you go too far, will do an Emil Jan- nings for you. But mirth and emotion are not his favorite pas- times. He has worked his way through college renting speakeasies to deaf students, some of whom were pretty dumb. During the four years he has gone out for football, and has developed an an- nual post-season liking for glut- tony. He has great weight on the campus, and has even tended to overshadow his own ideas. 1931 PEGASUS No Hall of Fame? -. -, ||0. there is no Hall of Fame in the 1931 Pegasus. The omission is not caused by a pov- M- erty of comely men or beautiful women, but just by the disinclination on the part of ' J W the guiding genius of the book to indulge in such. So just who did the most for the college or who was the most popular in the class will never be known, and lots of illu- sions are saved. Looking at the class, there might be caustic remarks if any of its mem- bers were designated most intellectual or if we pretended to have reared a social lion within our ranks. Of course, we are quite indifferent to public opinion, but we do claim to be able to laugh even at ourselves, reserving that ability, however, to be exercised by us alone. So we are all equally famous and we can each of us convey to his progeny the impression of our own individual college-day exaltedness, which may prove helpful indeed to our prestige in days when we are less active than in the ones of so much wasted energy that we spent at Wash- ington. 1931 PEGASUS Nelson Francis Hurley, Campus Leader and Presid ent of the Student Council, says: When Reid Hall tempts Me I reach for a Dumpling instead.

MD., MAY 5 — Another smashing victory was scored here today for Old Cold Beans when the Class of 1931 of Washington College voted 40 to 3 in favor of Old Cold Beans. This evidence of appreciation of one of the finer things in the gracious art of living was given by the one hundred and forty-ninth class of the fine old Eastern Shore institution when one of Old Cold ' s famous bean tests was personally conducted on the college campus by the Old Cold representative, Rubber L. Sparkly, celebrated author of Forget It and Rot. The scene of the test was in the famous old office of the Pegasus, the annual of the college, and the Elm. the college ' s newspaper. The office is noted for its extremes in temperature. In the office were gathered all the famous members of the senior class from Marion Graham, famous for her gig- gle, to Vickers Hollingsworth, the baseball authority. It was a tense moment when William E. Freeny poised the can-opener and made the initial stab. This honor went to Mr. Freeny due to his position as president of the class. The dissenting votes were those of Mr. Robert Dean, who contended that the beans were from the North: Miss Thelma Twilly, because they were not red, and Mr. Joseph Phillips, because nearly everyone else liked them. Remember — Warmed or Rehashed, They Are Still Old Cold. A scene taken during the test. Mr. Sparkly can be seen in the background taking the scores. Ave Atque Vale T this, the end of the book of the Class of 1931, we should pause for a few seconds to view sentimentally our four years here. This Pegasus is of necessity only the barest outline of what we have been and what we have done. Much of what we have been and done — most of it, we suppose — is not worth recording, even in our own class book. But if these years are, as those who have gone before us say they inevitably are, to be num- bered among the very best years of our life, even bare outlines will be full meaning and significance. This book will be alive to us because we have lived it. It is important to us because it was our years, it was all us and all we had. Whether we made a mess of it or turned out some things quite praise- worthy is not so important as the fact that we tried. And what we did is just what we are. And what we were in college is probably what we shall be in after-college days. Some of us may go far, but the majority of us will not despite what the write-ups say. The best thing to say in turning over this leaf of the Class of 1931 in the history of Washington College is, It was fun. It was fun, though some of the laughter cost dearly. These years were, we suppose, good years, and the best things we take with us from the walls of Washington are our memories, which enhance in value as the glamour of distance comes to give them an enchantment that even the most satisfying reality could never have. It is farewell to you, Washington, that we are saying as we turn East to greet the greater world beyond your walls.
