History of Washington College No person who attempts to study the history of the College can fail to realize that much of it has been lost forever in the fires that have so often visited this institution. Much can probably still be done by dili- gent research among the musty records of the county, but, aside from the loss of manuscripts which were known to have no duplicate, we fear that there will always be many events in the College ' s life that will remain unknown. What we present here has been gathered from Washington College — Yester- day, Today and Tomorrow, published by the College ; George Washington in Kent County, edited by J. Alexis Shriver ; The Minutes and Proceedings of the Visitors and Governors of Washington College, 1816-1848, kindly loaned by Dr. J. S. William Jones, Dean of Washington College ; and Volume I, Number 6, of The Washington Alumnus.

As now applied it denotes the end of your college course. In its deeper mean- ing, it denotes the beginning of another sort of course where you will start at the bottom again. Perhaps you will go out of college flushed with victor} ' ; per- haps you have been riding on the crest of a wave of success in your studies and of popularity with your mates. With Commence- ment over, you begin the long, difficult grind of a career ; you have to achieve all over again, in the battle of a lifetime, the same sort of victory you gained in four short years in college. My very best wishes go with you in the battle ahead. I have confidence that the same human stufif which made you win in college will assist you to victory in the land which lies beyond Commencement. You won in college because you kept growing. Only by keeping on growing intellectually, morally and person- ally can you win in life. Ill Jiuc signo vincitis. PAUL E.

In both these sports he had turned in a commendable performance. Despite these discouragements, Frank has plugged on and we can imagine that he has enjoyed him- self. We know he ought to, for his famous laugh would always assure merriment. He is certainly a hard worker yet no book worm, for he has a distinct love for all outdoor sports from baseball to hunting. ALBERT EDWARD BAKER Pittsville, Maryland $ V T I) AKE has in large quanti- rS ties the will-to-do. It is this plus his inherent abili- ties that has made him receive A ' s in classes and letters in ath- letics. He freely expresses his opinion in face of opposition and usually wins over the students by his argument and his humor. That firmness of belief and that irre- pressible tongue are what we will remember him for. As leader of his fraternity he has shown that he can ablely direct his group and adequately represent it.

Al has displayed dur- ing his life on the hill some musical ability. In his freshman year we saw him strut as Drum Major of the College Band. Also, since he has been here, he has been a most active member of the ' Glee Club. Then, too, he has been most inter- ested in Scouting, devoting nearly all of his spare time to the further- ing of the movement in and near Kent County. He is an interested student of psychology, and this in- terest was largely responsible for the organization of an informal psychological club during his senior year. CHARLES NEWMAN BRADLEY Easton, Maryland NICKNAMES are seldom in- dications of character, but they usually imply general affection toward their possessors, everj ' one calls Bradley It surely is impossible from liking this good- well-mannered young And Chuck. to keep humored. His most prodigious achieve- ments have been the destruction of the labors of domestic scientists. Woe be to the unsuspecting church supper which numbers Chuck among its patrons.

But we do know this : his interests are purely intellectual ones ; his inclinations are literary and his purposes are guided by the highest ideals. He is much too reserved and formal ever to be the hail-fellow- well-met type, yet an acquaintance with him is worth while because of his intellectual range. He does the majority of things he attempts with a more than usual skill. This, with his ability to work, are his best qualities. MARY ELIZABETH BRICE Betterton, Maryland K r BRICE is one of the few fem- inine athletes of our class. Her special interests are basketball and hockey. Proof of both lier athletic ability and her quantities of leadership is her elec- tion to the presidency of the Girls ' Athletic Council. As a member of the Girls ' Student Council for four years she has held the respect and confidence of her classmates. Bricie is interested in people and things. She has poise and dignity equal to any occasion. With her, friendship is something deep and earnest ; a thing not idly for- gotten.

He is a man of great in- trepidity as has been shown in the many football games in which he has participated, especially in the Sophomore-Freshmen games. In spite of turning in papers two weeks late, his wonderful per- sonality brought him the grades. His chief love is an argument, in which he generally manages to pull the joke on the other fellow. His motto is: Procrastination is the thief of time. CATHERINE ARABEL CAULK Sassafras, Maryland 2 T A FOUR years ago a shy little freshman girl came to the campus almost unknown and unnoticed, but she will leave it the possessor of a degree and several firm friends. She is quiet, devoutly religious, and a diligent student. We know that these cjualities will benefit her in her chosen occupa- tion for the years to come. Here we think it is fitting to quote from another senior ' s write- up : In affairs of the heart she has the constancy of the North Star, . . . . Y. M. C.

He has been in every production of the Dramatic Club since his entry. He is one of the most staunch supporters of the Glee Club, and is the conductor of our orchestra. He is president of the Y. M. C. A. and seems destined for the ministry. In affairs of the heart he has the constancy of the North Star, but not its tempera- ture. In spite of these distractions he is anions ' the upper ranks of our class in scholastic standing. S Y. M. C.

We reinember his inany interest- ing speeches in Public Speaking class, especially his discourse on the art of fishing and allied subjects. He has not gone out for extra- curricular activities to a great ex- tent, but in his senior year he joined the Dramatic Club and dis- tinguished himself as an actor. He is one of our good tennis players, and also manages a fine game of bridge and chess. Although George does not make friends readily, his close friends value his friendship highly. dec Club, 4; Dramatic Club, 4; Y.

Waverly, Virginia 2 FROM ' way down where cotton and corn are kings, Washing- ton College heard in 1928 another Coulbourn coming to pound at its portals for admission. It was Oscar. Now Covdbourn ' s make-up is paradoxical. He can complain and argue about practically nothing and then, in the next breath, he can be the life and amusement of any party. His determination was shown on the basketball floor. We add this and a usual good-hearted- ness to his virtues and, taking the total, find him to be an amusing companion and a fine friend. MILDRED COVEY Chestertown, Maryland MILDRED is the fortunate possessor of one of the most desirable feminine at- tributes — an abundance of poise. No matter what situation she finds herself in she is alwa) ' s self-con- tained and cool. Mildred is a worker. She carries responsibility gracefully, and links with it an energy and unselfish ef- fort that heightens the estimation of her friends. Unusually heavy schedules have no terrors for her. She makes A ' s in spite of them, and in spite of the many extra- curricular activities in which she engages.

Coming as she did from Rock Hall Grace found college a pleasant place to be, for it brought her friends besides a work schedule. In the noon-time gatherings of the day students, Grace played an important part. In the education conferences and throughout all high school observations she has been an interested and keen student. Her sweet disposition will always be remembered by her friends. Mount Vernon, 3-4; G. I. A. A., 2-3-4; Member of Class Team, 3-4 ; Y. W. C.

WILLIAM HAMILTON DANNEBERS Baltimore, Maryland A K WITH his music, his studies, and his few firm friends I ' ill has passed four well- filled years at college. The activi- ties he has engaged in have all been done efficiently but we believe his fundamental interests are the three above.

Though his face bears never a wrinkle, yet he has lived more deeply and felt more than any member of his class. He surely looks to be no oil burner yet few courses have denied him the A grade. Even his conversation is a thing of depth. His wit and cleverness, h i s subtlety and finesse should enable him to go far. JAMES HENRY DORSEY Marlon Station, Maryland DOKSEY is one of the trio from Marion, the straw- berry center of the country. When this offspring from Marion ' s fertile crop came to Washington he was rather green, but durmg his four years here he has matured both in intellect and physique. He is counted as one of the brigadiers of the bridge brigade, aspiring to the positions now occupied by Work and Lentz. However, the immediate future probably has the teaching profession in store for him. We have visions of his re- proving his future French pupils with the good old phrase : Fermez la bouche.

His remarkable command of ex- pressive English, in addition to his man) ' other favorable assets, assures us that he will reflect credit on his college as he engages in his chosen profession of law.

He comes from a farm near Marion where he works during the summer shipping tomatoes and strawberries.

Kansak is well posted on a num- l)er of subjects in which he fre- quentl) ' detects ludicrous incongrui- ties hidden from the normal eye.

He is a man of experience, hav- ing worked in the Research Depart- ment of the duPont Company. We have often marveled at his power over the feminine sex.

He has grown in experience as well, for he has gotten to be quite a globe trotter. Parks has a quiet, unassuming manner but he often surprises us by his witty remarks.

Reminiscence of the Class of 1932 ONE warm September morning in 1928 Washington College threw wide her portals and admitted a very heterogeneous group of young men and women. There were great men in those days and all had great paddles. We neither believed the first nor knew the second in those fast flying hours of Freshman Week. We were given to understand that the college had been founded by George and for us. It was all to reach a climax on Saturday when we were to welcome the other students to old Washington. Sunday we rested and then came the night. We were rats, rats, rats and nothing else. Then classes commenced. Some of us left and some of us studied. The tug-of-war became the subject for council ; it came and passed. Although losing on the rope we emerged muddy but victorious in the all important aftermath. For once we felt like a class and not a group of herded strangers. The St. John ' s game and the Emma Giles hove in sight simultaneously. Now we felt like college boys and tried to act as we had seen it done in the movies. Everyone had a good time but the players. We lost to the Sophomores in football ; won the poster fight, and went home to tell the folks all about college. Then after the Christmas holidays we studied for exams. Some more fell by the wayside and many were left gasping. The beginning of spring was timed perfectly with the beginning of college romances. Exams came and we left. Casualties — eighteen. fifty-six E C a S U S.. z l 9 3 X S == )6 2== = =— € ;s One warm September afternoon in 1929 Washington College threw wide her portals and admitted a very hilarious group of Sophomores. We all felt that we were a part of the great plan ; we were all important — oh, very important ! A large class of submissive Freshmen aided us greatly in holding this belief. This sudden wealth of power turned the heads of a few, as it always does, and the Freshmen objected in several revolts against our sway. With the power of one year behind us we quelled them quite successfully. We were not quite so successful in the tug-of-war for, although we won it, the fight went with the huge numbers of the Freshmen. So was it with the football game, for we were disgraced, 20-6. We tried to redeem ourselves by a thoroughness in removing posters. During this year week-ends and dates seemed to become important. For many the Princeton and Loyola games provided conversation for weeks. And there were other times. . . . With the advent of the British for the lacrosse battle we became decidedly cosmopolitan. In these phases it was an exciting year. Scholastically there was little change of attitude except for the few that had their first taste of their speciality and fell to it with gusto. With fourteen casualties we left the front and retired to our homes. One warm September afternoon in 1930 Washington College threw wide her portals and admitted just another class of Juniors. As a class organization we were nil, for the enthusiasm of our Freshman years and the necessary unity of our Sophomore term had passed. We thought of each other as members of various groups and not as fellow-classmen. We were now removed to a higher level than that of Freshman-Sophomore combats. Yet from our heights we enjoyed watching the others go through our previous activities. We judged them and found them wanting, and many were the cries for the good old days. Our hold on campus activities, both recognized and sub rosa, became more secure. We felt that we were running things and sharing the state secrets. Senior days were looming before us and as a result many took themselves with undue seriousness. In this year above all others we acted less as a class than at any other time. We had found our level both socially and scholastically. In the last we were either loafers, flunks, or close approaches to students. The third group was decidedly in the minority. fiftx-scvc i P E C ft S U S- i l O 3 X f = yK With the elections for the Senior year we felt once more important as a class. During the summer the smoke cleared and we found the casualties numbered eight. One warm September afternoon in 1931 Washington College threw wide her portals and welcomed the hundred and fiftieth of its classes. Perhaps the college felt the deep significance of the moment, but we were untouched. The hunt for the job gave us a feeling of being in one group, while the depression rent great holes in our conceit. The activities centering about our Commencement brought us once more together as the return of the previous inmates gave us the feel of old times. But through the year we often felt and probably acted immensely superior. And a little sad, too, as we thought that we — the last of the great ones we had known — were about to go. The coming of June was timed perfectly with the ending of college romances. Then one warm June morning Washington College threw wide her portals and deposited a group of alumni into the hardly waiting hands of the world. This has been the usual vain attempt to write the history of the class. As in other years it has been a meaningless thing, for we are firmly convinced that, as the informal conferences with the faculty are the important part of our formal education, so are the personal, intimate events of one ' s life at college the only vital moments of these four years. Each has his own and we feel sure that no historian could ever record them. fifty-eight I O 3 X V tK The Junior Class FOR various reasons this Class of 1933 has suiTered heavil) ' from the loss of man)- of its leaders. The great duties that are before the remainder in their senior year have not as 3-et af- fected their happy-go-lucky attitude. However, the men and women who will lead the class and manage the extra-curricular activities have already been singled out, and b) ' the time The Pegasus is pub- lished will have been elected to their offices. Although we, as seniors, are beginning to wonder how the wheels will turn without us, these juniors will undoubtedly stagger along successfully under the load we have left. Other than President Clarke, the officers were : Joseph Byard Dickerson, Vice-President ; and James Milton Noble, Secretarv-Treasurer. DeWiTT CL.

They are a large class ; their members are more mature ; and, after the extensive ratting of the first few weeks died its natural. death, they participated in college life to an unusual extent. They are still an unknown quantity which will take ffjur years to analyze. We are confident that those who survive will form an exceptional Senior Class.

The Student Council THE earliest record of a Student Council is found in the minutes of a faculty meeting on March 27, 1916, when the petition of the Student Council concerning the regulation of an election for the football captaincy was received by the faculty. Although records have been destroyed, it is believed that it had existed for some ten or fifteen years. Up to April 14, 1919, there was no Student Government, nor was the existing Student Council formally recognized. It served merely to present petitions of the students in such cases as the one in 1916. It was not regular or very efficient. On April 14, 1919, the students petitioned the faculty asking permission to draw up a set of regulations for a Student Self-Government Association and to institute the Honor System. It was signed by twenty-five of the leading students. Permission was granted, and a faculty member was appointed to assist them and to presumably restrain their more untactful clauses. The results of their labors were adopted by the student body and faculty on May 27, 1919. Ap(jarentl)-, dissatisfacti(jn with this set of rules grew until, as a result, its reorganization was taken up by the Board of Visitors and Governors under Col. Hiram S. Brown. Their plan, as Colonel Brown in his Foreword said, compared favorably with the best in effect in any other educational institution, and was adopted in March, 1923. It has continued to this day. This year the Council spent a quiet year. sixly-eighl ' ' P E C S U S t l O s = 6( I Left to right, back row It row: Schmidt, Johns , Parks, Holloway. Women ' s Student Government Association THERE being no record of its beginning, the Women ' s Student Government Association is believed to have been organized in the year 1922 under the auspices of Miss Cecil S. Ramsay, who was at that time the Dean of Women. The Women ' s Student Council was formerl) ' composed of six members elected at large by the women of Reid Hall, each representing her particular class. They were: two Senior members, President and Vice-President; two Junior members, one of whom was Secretary ; one Sophomore member, and one Freshman member, elected in November of each successive year. In 1929 this rule was amended, providing for a third Senior member. The election of the incoming Council is held in May. Throughout the years the rules and regulations of Reid Hall have been improved upon, with the aim to eliminate those that were unnecessary and to add those that were. Under the sponsorship of the Student Council, the women have entertained each year with parties , teas and dances. The present Student Council is : President, Ruth Eleanor Johnson ; Vice- President, Mary Elizabeth Brice ; Secretary, Mary Matilda Parks ; Senior Repre- sentative, Charlotte Carolyn Holloway ; Junior Representative, Elizabeth Vir- ginia Schmidt ; Sophomore Representative, Florence Genevieve Carvel. Since the above picture was taken Catherine Anne Bishop has been elected Freshman Representative. E G fli S U S 2 l Q 3 X Mount Vernon Liferary Society THE Mount Vernon Literary Society, now in its ninety-fifty year, reorgan- ized its plans for programs last year with the aim of making them more truly literary. Alore success has been achieved than the pessimistic predicted. Under the capable leadership of Mildred Covey during the first term, and tfie ec[ually capable leadership of Walter Branford during the second, the Society has had on its programs one-act plays, readings, sketches and numerous musical numbers. The annual Mount Vernon Ijanquet in honor of George Washington was lield March I2th.

Since that year the Soci ety has attempted to afford its members practice in oratory, impromptu speaking and the prepara- tion of programs for the entertainment of the group. This year a new set of entrance requirements was adopted which demand of the prospective member participation in at least one program.

Organized in 1930, it was the aim of this body to discuss and act in an advisory way on the different campus problems that might arise. During the college year several members called meetings on their own initia- tive. Student programs for Thanksgiving Day were discussed and a Victory Dance was proposed. Later in the year a discussion of student attitude con- cerning the commons and the Student Council was brought before the Cabinet and several beneficial proposals were made. There is no question but that the Cabinet functioned more smoothly and more efficiently than in its birth year. Greater results can only be hoped for when the years have added prestige to the organization. seventy-two = yk:2= I Washington College Debaters OFFICERS President Raymond Oliver McCullough, Jr. Manager Calvin Linwood Brinsfield Treasurer Lindley Ewing Cook DUAL debates with St. John ' s and Western Maryland were in prospect when the Pegasus went to press. A home-and-home match with each of these colleges was planned, the question for debate being Resolved, That the best interests of the United States demand that definite steps be taken looking towards a decentralization of Federal authority. The Washington Debaters were organized in 1925 to train students in an intensive study of public questions and in cultivating easy and convincing speech before an audience. The group has been trained by Professor John Donald Makosky. seventv-three P E G a S U S- irz l O 3 X = 6 I - = i T The Washington Concert Orchestra HE Orchestra was organized in 1925 by Dr. Frederick George Livin and has continued to exist solely through his efforts. In its third year the Orchestra took a trip down the Shore, giving con- certs at the various towns. Since that time it has taken trips of various lengths ; has played for Sunday concerts ; assemblies of the student body ; Commencement exercises; and has, in general, made itself an integral part of the College com- munity. This year, in addition to its concerts in several of the nearby towns, the Orchestra broadcast from WFBR in Baltimore. This last feature is to become an annual event. seventy-Jour 1 S U S i l 9 3 X I SiAcZ ==| Personnel of the Concert Orchestra Faculty Dircctoi-, Dr. Frederick George Livingood Student Director, Lindley Ewing Cook First Violins Dr. I ' rederick George Livingood Raymond Oliver McCullough, Jr. Oliver Eluood Robinson, Jr. Second Violins William Frank Jarkell, Jr. William Oliver Comella Ira Daniel Measell, Jr. Clarinets Leslie Cade Williams William Emory Burkhardt Edgar Clarke Fontaine, Jr. Cornets Robert Townsend Fleetwood Leroy Karl Remsberg John Alfred Wagner Ivon Earle Culver George Desocio SoA-opluuics Lee Seth Gillis Marvin VanDyke Williams Charles Jefferson Harris, Jr. Irvin Norwood Carroll Trombones FkEDERicK Gleaves Usilton.

It is known that after Harry S. Russell, President in 1926, left for the outer world it died a sad death. Baker Shelton, ' 28, reorganized the Players the next jear, and under the coaching of a faculty member a play was produced, in the spring of 1927 Captain Applejack was staged, with the able help of Professor John Donald Makosky. Since that time Professor Makosky has been the guiding spirit of the Players. During the past years the Players have given three plays throughout the college year. This year the celebration of the Sescjui-Centennial made the produc- tion of only two plays feasible. Among these thi-ee plays there have always been included three one-act plays coached by student directors. The play given this year was a Broadway success called Adam and Eva, The plays planned for the spring are a shortened version of Rip Van Winkle, How He Lied to Her Husband, by Bernard Shaw, and one as yet unde- termined. The excellent training afforded the students in acting and directing and the fine ]jroductions offered make this activity wf)rth vhile and entertaining. sez ' cnly-cif lit I- 6C 1 The Shakespeare Players THAT a part, at least, of the glamorous Shakespearean stage was revived for the Eastern Shore is due entirely to the strenuous efforts of the newly organized Shakespeare Players. The group includes the entire Shakes- peare class of Dr. Gertrude Van Arsdale Ingalls — where it was organized — and some few gathered from outside the class. Romeo and Juliet was the play chosen by the Players for their initial production, and, despite the expensive costumes and the mournful predictions of the pessimists, it was a complete success in every phase of its staging and management. Full credit for the coaching and directing of this first attempt to stage Shakespeare should be given to Doctor Ingalls. professor of English at Washington College. At the banquet following the production the players organized into the Shakespeare Players, a group whose aim it is to produce one Shakespearean plaj ' each year.

For years Washington College cotillions have had their fame spread up and down the Shore. Dis- counting the reminiscent sighs of the old grads, the Cotillion Club of this year has kept up the record. Despite the economic depression, which was very easily traced in the Club receipts, the officers have managed to present to the members and the public the usual five formal dances. The best possible orchestras within reach of the treasury have been secured, and the decorations have ranged from a cotillion decorated with old newspapers to one that had for its plan a penthouse effect with a New York skyline painted about the walls. For the first time in at least four ) ' ears the Club was given control of the June IJall.

During the same college year it was officially recognized by the administra- tion. Under the competent leadership of Howard Beauchamp Owens it con- ducted a tournament among the college students on the five-hole course it had mapped out on the campus. This year the organization, under the leadership of Charles Augden Hol- land, Jr., plans a series of intra-mural tournaments, the winner of which will be given a silver loving cup donated by the Association. H at all possible, it is hoped to secure matches with outside clubs. Another activity of the Club has been the improvement and enlargement of the college links. The officers for the year were: Charles Augden Holland, Jr., President: Robert Delmar Furman, ' ice-President ; Allan Hall Bonwill, Secretarj- and Treasurer; George Emmett Clarence Kauffman, Chairman of the Equipment Committee, and Raymond Oliver McCullough, Jr., Chairman of the Rules Com- mittee. f P E C = S U S yk The Middle Hall Club OFFICERS First Term vSecond Term Walter Avery Branford President Walter Avery Branford William Elder Wright Viee-Presideiit Roland Custer Ready JA.MKs All ETON Noble Secretary James Milton Noble Mason Trlpi ' Treasurer Mason Trupf James Nelson Rkkards, Jr.. .Ser( eaiit-at-.iriiis John Mast Raymond OX the nigRt oi (Jctober 9, 1931, in Middle Hall, with Ihe assistance of Air.

The editing and financing of the Handbook was under the supervision of the Y. M. C. A. The Y has been eager to cooperate with the churches of the town.

Lee Wheatley, ' 99, Editor-in-Chief, and Howard U. Clogg, ' 99, Business Manager. It was published monthly, and shows, by references in its columns, that it had appeared before this date. It is gotten up in book style with contents more literary in content than the present publication, which attempts to imitate the modern, journalistic form of writing. Since this date it has appeared on the campus with more or less frequency and in varying form and numbers. In the col- lege year of 1925-26, under the direction of Harry S. Russell, The Collegian, as it was then known, adopted a newspaper format. Since then the size and number of the issues have varied with the different edi- tors, but the style has always remained the same. During 1930-31 the student body voted to change the name to The Washington Elm. The present organization of The Elm leaves much to be desired. The editor of this year ' s paper leaves it with the hope that a class in journalism will, in the future, conduct the management of The Elm. In this way some practical experience in rural journalism will be obtained by more than one or two, as has been the case before this time. -=3 THE fe:=- WASHINQTON o ■c COLLEQIAN. JUNE, iSw.

O 3 X The Football Season W ASHINGTON COLLEGE began the 1931 football season with the smallest number of letter men that it has had for some time. George Ekaitis, former great Western Mary- land quarterback, was the new Coach of the back- field and assistant to Head Coach Tom Kibler. After two weeks of hard training under the hot September sun, Captain Howard Plummer led a light, inexperienced Washington eleven against the best grid combination that the University of Mary- land has put on the gridiron since Curley Byrd took charge of athletics at College Park. The locals played their best game of the season there, and held the powerful Maryland Varsity to a total of thirteen points. Fritz Reinhold turned in the most remark- able exhibition of punting seen on a Maryland foot- ball field for many seasons to keep the Old Liners in hot water throughout a majority of the ga me. The marvelous place-punting of this diminutive star drew unstinted praise from Baltimore sports au- thorities, who watched him consistently outkick Maryland ' s all-state halfback, Shorty Chalmers. The entire Washington line, composed largely of Freshmen, played great defensive football, but, lacking weight, were unable to do much on the at- tack. The locals never seriously threatened the Old Liners ' goal. Al Woods ' eighty-yard dash oi¥-tackle for a touchdown was the most spectacular scoring feat of the day. On the following Saturday the team met Johns Hopkins at Homewood field in Baltimore, and continued to play the same type of football that it had turned loose on the College Parkers. Coach Ray Van Orman had the best-trained and most effective eleven that Hopkins has produced in a decade, but the Blue Jays were hard pushed to come through with their 6-0 margin of victory. The breaks were against the Shoremen in this contest, for Carozza, right end for Wash- (jiic liriidrcd Icii ington, took a pretty pass from Robinson in the first quarter and ran thirty yards for what appeared to be a touchdown, only to have the officials declare that he had stepped out of bounds. Reynolds made the Jays ' only score on a buck through center from the one-yard line. At Swarthmore, the Washingtonians failed to play as good a defensive game as they had in pre- vious contests, and the Little Quakers came out of the game on the long side of a 20-0 score. Plum- mer, in the backfield, and Dickerson, in the line, did the most consistent and effective work for the Maroon and Black. The Garnets of Swarthmore outweighed the locals fifteen pounds to the man, and this handicap was too great to be overcome. In the fourth game the pupils of Kibler and Ekaitis were actually favored to defeat Haverford ' s gridders, a team that was in the class of the Ma- roons in many respects. However, the Washington defense seemed to go entirely to pieces at the start of the game, and the final score favored the Penn- sylvanians by a 27-7 count. Carozza scored the local counter on a pass from Quarterback Robinson. Haverford ' s 220-pound tackle played havoc with the Washington line in this game. Playing Mount St. Mary ' s in the one home game of the season, the Kiblerites were conceded small chance of a victory over the powerful Moun- taineers. However, the Maroon and Black surprised and elated a large homecoming crowd by holding the Jesuits to a scoreless tie during fifty-eight minutes of actual playing time. With but a minute and a half of playing time left, a short kick by Giraitis and a fifteen-yard penalty set the stage for the lone score of the game. Hopkins, Jesuit fullback, skirted his own right end for a touchdown, and Lynch added the extra point, making the count 7-0. Several Washington regulars were hurt in this contest. Drexel ' s Dragons proved too powerful and versatile for the Maroon and lilack, at Philadelphia, and romped away with a 44-0 vic- tory. The Kiblerites were greatly handicapped by in- juries to linemen in this game. Labove was the bis scoring back for the Dragons. In the eighth game of the season Albright trounced the one hundred eleven f =fi oc: Washino;tonians by a 49-6 score. The great Al- bright backfield, led by Haines and latesta, scored almost at will in the first half, but the locals stif- fened and held the Reading grid stars scoreless during the second half. Dickerson, alert, brilliant guard for Washington broke through the line on an intended Albright line-buck, stole the ball from latesta, and galloped forty yards to a score in the second c|uarter. At Selingsgrove, Washington met its eighth straight defeat at the hands of Susquehanna, losing b) ' a score of 25-0. The Maroon and Black played this game with a makeshift line-up. The following regulars were out of the game because of injuries: Robinson, Reinhold, Ward, Carozza, Mackenzie, Groswith, and Captain Plummer. Washington wound up its season at Philadel- phia, losing to St. Joseph ' s College. Several Wash- ington regulars had returned to form for this game, but this did not prevent the Philadelphians from coming ovit on the long side of a 20-0 count. The past season was remarkable from the standpoint of the great fighting spirit of the locals throughout nine games of football with teams that greatly outclassed them in weight and experience. The Shoremen made particularly fine showings against all state teams. The team showed evidence of good coaching, and, with more weight, should be vastly imprf)ved next year. Reinhold, Dobkins, Giraitis, Groswith, and Ward should be real gridders next )-ear. Captain Plummer, Dickerson, and Gamber played good football throughout the season. This year Deacon Cary received the Wade Bounds ' Gold Football. This award, donated this year, is given to that person that has d(jne the most for football at Washing- ton College. Cary is a Senior and has been a member of the squad for four years. ' ir lunutrrd I ' vclve St P I: C S i l O 3 X = 6C2= Schedule -% ' ■J Sf W. C.

With all but two letter men ba;k from last year ' s powerful combination, prospects seemed very bright. But in several games the Kiblerites just did not seem to click at all. Captain Ollie Robinson led three letter men from last year, besides three I ' reshmen and two LTpper- Classmen who were destined to earn their letters before the season was over, on the court for the opening game against Osteopathy. The Flying Pentagon engaged in a total of seventeen games, winning nine and dropping the decision in the remain- ing eight. The Kiblerites showed their usual invincibility in all games played on the local court, losing onl} ' one game in the local gym. However, on foreign courts the locals were completely ineffective and failed to win a single victory, away from home. Osteopathy of Philadelphia helped the hdying Pentagon open the season, and obligingly took the short end of a 31-15 count. In this game Harry Huey and Frank Carozza were introduced to the Washington fans. The second game of the season was played before the Christ- mas holidays, when Rider College bowed before the locals in a hard-fought game by the score of 27-24. The cagers from Trenton had a clever, hard-fighting team, but they played such unorthodox basketball that fouls counted heavilv against them. The Flying Pentagon engaged St. Joseph ' s College, of Philadelphia, two days after their return from the Christmas holidays, and suffered the first defeat of the season when the Pennsylvanians took a 28-27 decision. The Kiblerites were unable to shoot fouls with any degree of efficiency at all in this game, and this proved to be the deciding issue of the contest. The locals returned to the winning column in their next game by defeating the State Teachers ' College of one liuudrcd fifteen P E C (=1 S U S i -J O 3 X g- = )6C West Chester. Pa.. 35-32- The Washingtonians did not have a .great deal of trouble in defeating the Teachers, and, led by Fitzgerald, could have made the score more decisive. Johns Hopkins University was the first state foe encountered by the Shore men in the 1932 season, and, for some unexplainable reason, the Washingtonians turned in one of their poorest exhibitions of the season, losing 2-22. None of the three centers used h)- Coach Kibler were able to stop Don Kelly, who scored a total of twent)-one points for the Blue Jays. Ward turned in the besi performance of the Flying Pentagon. The Flying Pentagon next encountered Mt. St. Mary ' s at Emmitsburg. and. apparentl) ' still in the slump which had proved ruinous against Hopkins, bowed to the Mounts by a 22-15 count. This virtually eliminated the Kiblerites from the state championship race. Onl)- one thing more was needed; this was supplied a few days later when Western ] lary- land forced Washington to bow, 24-23, over at Westminster. The next game scheduled was the contest to which all Eastern Shore basket- liall fans look forward to — the scrap with Loyola ' s Greyhounds at the home gym. A capacity crowd tilled the local gymnasium to watch the Inlying Pentagon show a complete reversal of form and defeat its ancient cage rival from Baltimore by a 32-22 count. The locals followed Coach Kibler ' s instruction minutely and, led by Robinson, Proudfoot. and Huey. were practicalh ' invincible. The St. Joseph ' s ciuintet next made it two straight games for the season over the Kiblerites, and at the same time administered the only defeat suiifered by the Flymg Pentagon on its home grounds by taking an 18-16 decision. Fitz- gerald starred in this game for the local cagers. The University of Mar3land ' s championship team proved too good for the Plying Pentagon at Colle.ge Park and easily defeated the Kiblerites. The final score was 36-16. In the next game, placed with St. John ' s in Chestertown. the Washingtonians started a vinning streak that carried them to victories over three of their strong- est opponents of the season. After playing listless basketball in the first half of the game with the Johnnies, the Flying Pentagon played as if inspired in the second half, and, led by Frank Carozza, pulled out a 26-24 decision as nearl)- a thousand spectators shrieked encouragement. The Kiblerites then proceeded to gain revenge over Hopkins for the defeat suffered earlier in the season by forcing the P lue Jays to come out second best in a game which ended 17-13. jiic liundrcd si.vic u s = 560= Swarthmore made it three straight for the Flying Pentagon by accepting defeat in an overtime game which ended with a 4(1-36 score. Al Hodgson and Carozza supphed the spark necessary to win. St. John ' s reversed the decision in a return game played with the Shore men and won easily. At the end of the game the scoreboard read : St. John ' s 34, ' Washington 14. Captain OUie Robinson rose to dizzy heights in the game with Mt. St. Mary ' s. It was his brilliant playing that was the main reason for the 28-26 victory which the Flying I entagon scored over the Mounties in the return game at Washington. The men from Washington were unable to duplicate the victory over Loyola v licn the teams met in a return game at Evergreen, and bowed 19-17. Captain Robinson sprained his ankle in the game, and this was no small handicap to his teammates. Western Maryland proved easy on the home floor, and the Flying Pentagon secured ample revenge for the one-point victory which the Terrors had taken at Westminster by trouncing the up-staters 31-17. The Alumni were no match for the Varsity in the last game of the year. The old stars bowed easily by a 43-25 count. Cavanaugh and Carrington played the best brand of basketball for the old grads. Besides Captain Robinson, the following received Varsity letters : Captain- elect Johnson, Fitzgerald, Proudfoot, Giraitis, Gamber, Ward, Fluey, and Ca- rozza. Rasin was voted a letter.

O 3 X € 6 2= True Story Karry Bansak ' s Thirty-sixth Year at Washington T WAS the day before the big game, and Karry Bansak looked glum. I or those who would care to know why, we most enthusiastically recommend Karry Bansak ' s Thirty-fifth Year at Washington, by the same author. Just then Rugs Baymond burst into the room with a dark scowl on his I he inquired with the same OUK Hkki) What ' s this I hear about you looking glum: dark scowl. That wasn ' t my wife, chirped Karry, stepping gracefully out of the bathtub, that was a lady. Terrible, muttered Baymond, and he swore a horrible swore under his breath. It was for Washington, answered Karry simply. At this the cheering section went mad with delight. Chapter 14 Now let ' s see. Where were we? began Baymond. I wish I had a yatch, too, replied Karry. Were you ever a child? he continued. Why, why-yes-yes, I guess so, spluttered Baymond all over the nice, clean carpet. Then throw away your hammer and get a horn, philosophized our hero, Karry. If you ' re so smart, sneezed Rugs sneeringly, then why don ' t you get out of here? Don ' t be a silly ass, answered Karry. Four more years and I get mv pension. But let ' s be serious, man. There is tomorrow ' s big game to be con- sidered. Whaddya say we get down to brass tacks? So they both got down to the floor on their knees and looked for the little things. And while they are searching diligently about the room, let us leave them for a while and journey to far-oft Japan, where we will observe the silk worms hard at work making silk. But alas, we are too late. For it is six o ' clock already and all the worms have gone home. So we might as well get back to our heroes. There they arc, still looking for the tacks. What a glorious opportunity to sneak out the back way and meet them again in the next of the series : Karry Bansak ' s Thirty-seventh Year at Washington. It will be out on the newsstands with the next publication of True Story, which will be as soon as the Governor grants us a pardon. one liuiidred thirlv-three E G ft S U S, i l O 3 X f Xk2= The Year Seen i one hundred thirty-four v «r P E C ft S U S i l 9 3 X ■J.W iwi M - ii i—.nu iimiiiuuMHJ-l f :SiA(Z= By Our Camera a 4 ne hundred thirty-five P E c a S U % 9 3 X For Freshmen Only (A History of Our Legendary Heroes) I AM reminded of the Brothers MacQuirk, Reggie and Ronnie, who came to Washington College many, many years ago — 1827, I think it was, or maybe it was on a Thursday. No, I reckon it was four o ' clock. Anyhow, they entered. They were unalike as only two brothers can be. Reggie was tall and blond, with quizzical blue eyes and a puzzled broad mouth. He not only knew his onions ; he ate them. Ronnie, on the other hand, was blond and tall, with puz- zled mouth and quizzical blue eyes. He took his fun where he found It. In mental disarrangement they were also quite different in a great many respects. Reggie was exceedingly dumb, while Ronnie, on the contrary, was exceedingly dull, and they walked in a toddling sort of a way. Reggie rolled his I ' s up and down, and Ronnie rcjlled his R ' s from side to side. In those days the College was not extremely hard to break out of, but was equally hard to bust into. They had what were called entrance examinations — an abominable phrase — relic of the Inquisition and derived from the Latin pro- fessional paradise and the ask-me-another craze. Well do I remember the question put to the boys. If the ice wagon plus the ice weighs 3,000 pounds, what does the ice man weigh . ' He weighs the ice, responded the twins in their juvenile weigh. THEY GOT THE JOB ! Which reminds me of a parable : A nickel and a dime were sitting on a fence. The nickel fell off. Not so the dime. It had more cents. And so it was with Reggie and Ronnie. Ronnie could never get through college. Me was to be the mone)ed man. He would sit long hours matching pennies with his ijrofesscjr, Dr. ( ) 1, behind the old gym. It was so dark they could not see the heads in front of their faces, and to determine the winner each time they had to call out what their own was — heads or tails. Because of his age the great economist was allowed U) call his own first. So it went on every night, Ronnie winnin g all the money. Far be it from him to turn down an honest penny. One night the professor, prompted by his own methods, lit a match to see if his pupil was cheating by not throwing any pennies at all. It so happened that at that moment the President was on his way to a convention, and, seeing a ' Iniiulrtut lliirlv-xi.v P E C =! S U S j l 9 3 X I , ' I light where one had never been before, he caught the boys behind the gym, and kicked Ronnie and his playmate out of college. Ronnie went into the lumber business. He wood. Reggie, however, left school on his own hook — that is, his own after he got the hook. It seems he was caught going to a convocation one Sunday. He entered college at eighteen, and, five years later, when he was booted out, he gave his age as eighteen. He was not the kind that say one thing one day and another the next. One day the President called him into his office. MacOuirk, he said, we ' ve been good friends in a cursory sort of way. I ' ve often gone out of my way for you, and now I want you to put yourself out for me. So Ronnie left college. All this can lead to but one conclusion. Here were two headstrong boys, able to work and succeed, but they foolishly tried to mix play with work. You cannot do both. Freshmen, remember the fate of Reggie and Ronnie MacQuirk. No man can serve two masters. A yes man can serve a thousand. one Iinmhed thirty-si ' veii P E C Fl S U S i l Q 3 X z :Ar = A A Note On Notes (From the Music Critic of the Staff) All )ou followers of the slighll - 1 icd Piper of Jazz will be interested in vhe new tune I have selected for this month.

True, there are the usual odds and ends, but the brunt of the work is over. No longer will there be a photographer to line the groups up before: the printer will squawk in our ears for copy no more, and never again will we ponder over the size of an engraving or the lines of a drawing. We turn The Pegasus loose upon you with a sense of its inadequac) ' in representing, by picture or by printer ' s ink, your years here and ours. Such things can be captured onl) ' by the occasional happy vagaries of memory. We are now supposed to be sad and sentimental at the passing of such a glorious period of our life. We are really not, though. Perhaps all that comes after we have gotten past these figurative walls. Right now we are very anxious to get a job and be doing things — and a little afraid that we won ' t. R ' luch of all these years has been pleasant and ga) ' , and we suppose as we get farther and farther awa}- from them we will remember onl) that part of it all. The rest, like the paddling of our P ' reshman da)-s, will have lost its sting. It is better thus. We don ' t imply that much that is tragic has entered our young lives here; if we were to admit it. most has been trivial. However that maj- be, we are now turning to the North, the South, the East, the West, or looking to the gods for a healthy omen as to where we should turn. Our backs are definitely turned on the College. When you do face towards these halls again, we hope that this 1932 Pegasus may help you call back whatever memories are )ours of these, our years.
