GOLDSTEIN f A - ' fK ' ' ' ?r ' i I ' f i ' ipi , - FOREWORD THIS is not really a foreword, for we are about to look back. However, we hope to profit by this retrospect, and go forward, fusing our e xperience with eternity. Hence- forth we must couple our names with those of history, and more intimately with those of our own Eastern Shore. What the relationship will be only time will tell. We pray for the best. Like Aeneas, we must strive for the other shore heroically. The prospects are agreeable. Ultima Tule is ours for the asking. CONTENTS BOOK I ADMINISTRATION BOOK II CLASSES BOOK III ACTIVITIES BOOK IV ATHLETICS BOOK V ,■■% FEATURES DEDICATION To the Eastern Shore of Maryland, whose fair, fertile, fields have nourished thousands in neighboring cities, as well as those directly dependent upon its soil; whose surrounding waters have long served as a means of subsistence and transportation; and on whose broad bosom Washington College was founded. ERCHANCE the Eastern Shore is especially beloved by Him who makes the Spring. The green meadows, the fragrant, flowering road- sides, the lush, clover-scented pastures, the bright gardens and velvet lawns bespeak a land of Spring. The season of flowers be- gins modestly, with the exquisite fragrance of the trailing arbutus, and the radiance of a rare trilhum. Soon after, the buds begin to swell and to burst, until the woods come to the evanescent state of a vari-colored mist. Lilacs are sweet in long hedges about the manor houses, and in bushes before cabin doors. Dogwood is as bril- liant in the May sun as snow. Summer encourages thousands of flowering herbs and shrubs to catch and charm a random look. Briar roses and button-bushes provide display along a country roadside, where honeysuckle breathes a heavenly fragrance. Altheas and magnolias are ghost- like in boxwood gardens on hot, still summer nights, when sweet Southern romance comes. Fall makes the Eastern Shore a bright patchwork, with too many hues to tell. Always there is vitality, and, even as grey December comes, the woods and fiields and gardens are restless for the awakening. William Smith Hall Another View of William Smith Hall Looking Toward the Princess Tree The Gymnasium Reid Hall from the Drive Middle Hall I I Through the Gateway Ah, happy fields, ah, pleasing shade. Ah, fields belov ' d in rain. Where once my careless childhood strayed A stranger yet to pain! I feel the gales, that from ye blow, A momentary bliss bestow. As waving fresh their gladsome wing My weary sold they seem to sooth. And, redolent of youth and youth. To breath a second spring. OW odd it seems that the Eastern Shore, high- est developed region of a Province founded by a Catholic for religious freedom, has :hurches chiefly of the originally Anglican faith, as survivors of changing time. Thes; churches are Protestant Episcopal now, and doubtless the majority of the Shore today is Methodist. Still, the quaint Quaker Meeting House at Easton, where William Penn once led meeting, serves yet, as the oldest house of continuous worship in the United States. In Chestertown is beautiful old Emmanuel, where the Protestant Episcopal Church was founded. Rufus Rockwell Wilson has suggested that Thomas Gray could have found no purer place to write his Elegy in a Country Church- yard than in the yard of St. Paul ' s, near Chestertown. There stands the good church where the aristocratic of the parish have worshipped for two centuries. In the dim light inside, the rich, dark panelling, the golden service in the apsidal chancel, and the fair, white linen on the altar bespeak the loving care of genera- tions. Outside, under the tall spruces, rare English yews and huge oaks sleep the jurists and the teachers and the planters — Kent County ' s illustrious sons. St. Paul ' s, Shrewsbury, Trinity, Christ Church of Cambridge, and the pretentious King Carter ' s Church, cruciform in design, of the lower Shore, are representatives of the loveliest, holiest churches in America.

THE HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COLLEGE (VOLUME 153) EACH year another Pegasus is added to the lengthening row of volumes wherein are perpetuated the activities and achievements of the students of Washington College. In after years this book will be taken from the shelf, and college days will be re-lived from its pages, for it records the who and the what of campus life. There is another book we have all been creating — another volume whose first page was written early in September, and whose last line will not be finished until the sun sets on Commencement Day. It is the invisible but none the less real encyclopedia of Washington College ' s true and complete history — Vol. 153 of the great unfinished work whose first editor was Dr. William Smith, and whose initial installment was produced in 1782-1783. We are now completing our current volume of this eternal masterpiece. No one has been able to avoid writing his line, or paragraph, or chapter in it. The administration, the faculty, the students — all, as individuals and as organized groups have penned their entries. Because the record is invisibly written, there is nothing that can now be deleted. It has all happened, therefore it is a part of history. Years may change our perspective on some things when we look back upon the work we have written. We may wish that we had constructed some of our paragraphs differently, or that some pages could be expunged completely. Some few we might wish to hurry over and never see again. But memory is tenacious. Unlike the sun-dial, which marks only sunny hours, history holds everything. The moving finger writes; and having writ. Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line. Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. But we all know that the golden pages outnumber the leaden ones in the year ' s record. There are pages which will be radiant in our memories while memory lasts. And, through the careful, thoughtful enterprise of those who hold their college dear, the final effect of our annual volume of 1934-35 will merit our eternal remembrance, and we shall have justified the motto we placed upon its flyleaf when we opened the record last September — Together we go forward! My thanks to all who are working with me to make this come true. For there will be another volume to create in 1935-36, more brilliant, we hope, than even this one. Volume 153 is closing; volume 154 will open soon. Let us write it fair. Gilbert W. Mead. i DR. J. S.

It was from the first the progressive, influential part of Lord Bal- timore ' s religiously tolerant Palatinate. In 1631, Claiborne brought from Virginia the Reverend Richard James, who conducted the first Christian service in the bounds of Mary- land, on Claiborne ' s newly-discovered Kent- ish Isle , now Kent Island. Since then, the Eastern Shore has given great ministers and bishops to America, and has sheltered noted clergymen like Washington College ' s Dr. William Smith. The Friends established the Quaker faith in the South at the Tredhaven Meeting House in Talbot; the Presbyterian Church in America was founded by Makemie, at Rhehobeth, in Somerset; the Emorys, of Methodism, first lived twelve miles south of Ches- tertown, in Queen Annes. Immortals in science are Jam.es Rumsey, inventor of the first steamboat, born 1743, in Cecil County, and Simon Newcomb, who taught not twenty miles from Washington College. America has had no artist greater than Charles Wilson Peale, born 1741, in Kent County. William Paca, in government; the Tilghmans, in the arts of peace and war; Captain Lambert Wickes, of Kenty County and the U. S. N.; Samuel Chase — these are but a few of the Eastern Shore ' s great gentlemen. BOOK TWO CLASSES SENIORS RUSSELL AINSLIE BAKER Baltimore, Md.

Russ ' s smile, like the measles, is conta- gious; you have to see it to really appreciate it. He ' s a mighty nice tackle, both on the football field and on the basketball court — Rough House Baker. If you want to hear some good salty yarns, ask him about the time he was one of the college ' s representatives on the high seas. WILLIAM OLIVER BAKER Chestertown, Md.

Bill has been responsible for the growth of the Elm from a bi-monthly paper to a flour- ishing weekly. He has one great fault — he has too many virtues for an editor — thereby depriving all of the contributors of the pleas- ure of deriding him or his excellent editorials. His interests range from the nesting habits of birds to the philosophy of the Greeks, from colonial architecture to the amino acids. Gluckliche Reise! 36 JAMES WALSH BARCUS Centreville, Md. A K Alpha Club, Kappa Fraternity, 3, 4; 3; Student Instructor ii Cotillior Mathe We received a new deal in the way of pro- fessors when Walsh entered his Senior year. From the very beginning it seemed he had pedagogical proclivities, and finally when the Dean needed a first-class student instructor he went to Walsh. So far the only ones who have regretted this appomtment are the poor students he teaches. But we can see ahead to the day when these same students can proudly say Why, yes, I studied under Bar- cus, yes, indeed. ELLA LILLIAN BARKLEY ■idge, Md.

We come to a crisis in our vocabulary when we try to describe Ella. We tried to make these biographies impartial by assigning them to disinterested people to do, but we had to break that rule for Ella, we couldn ' t find anyone not interested in her. It ' s unfortunate she is looking so serious in her picture; you are missing something if you haven ' t seen her smile. .1 FRANK KENNERT BARNHART Millington, Md. Y. M. C. A., I, 2, 3, 4; International So- ciety, 4. As soon as Frank gets a tennis racket or ping- pong paddle in his hand he becomes a different boy — ruthless, aggressive, and as fast as greased lightning, with as nifty a forehand as we ' ve seen in many a day. He ' s no mean intra-class basketball player, either, and when he shoots one from outside the white line the team walks back to their positions without even watching the ball zip through. We ' ll be seeing you in Wimbledon, Frank. S. SCOTT BECK, JR. Chestertown, Md. Scott is on his way to being a judge or public servant, if he doesn ' t get side-tracked and end up as a Senator or diplomat to some for- eign nation. He wouldn ' t especially mind representing United States in some foreign port, if his principle duty consisted of doling out words of wisdom to his associates. The Senator, by the way, is the only man we ever saw who wraps his legs around his neck when engaged in deep thought. VIRGINIA RANKIN BELL Chestertown, Md. Transferred from Sr. Mary ' s Semmary, 1; Mt. Vernon, 2; Class Basketball, 2, 3; Historical Society, 4; History of Art Club, 4. Virginia came here in her Sophomore year, and from that time on she has worked hard on her lessons, especially applying herself to Sociology. According to rumors, one of her favorite pastimes has been cooking meals for half-starved students. It sounds like an excel- lent way to derive some real benefit from a hobby. No lives have been lost, and even today you may discover that all her v. ' .-jrk lias not been in vain. DELANO KING BOYNTON Faulkland, Del.

For years, one of the sights of the campus was to see the Right Honorable Mister Boynton taking his white shoes out for a walk. The white shoes have gone the way of all material things, but we still have Delano with his slow drawl and incomparable philosophy. Any man who can talk for hours on any subject, from Spiritualism to the advisabihty of con- verting the campus into a tomato patch, as he can, has a right to be classed among the great minds of the College. 39 4 VINCENT BRANDOLINI Waterbury, Conn.

You may have seen Stokowski conduct the Philadelphia Orchestra, or you may have seen Walter Damrosch acting as conductor, but you really haven ' t seen anything yet until you ' ve seen Brandolini conduct our orchestra. He pivots — he whirls — he pirouettes — he prances — he ' s marvelous — he ' s awe inspiring — he rides on the crest of a musical wave and only his tremendous gyrations prevent him from sinking. And, marvels of marvels, not only can he do this, but he can cook spaghetti like an Italian angel. ALLEN ROSS BROUGHAM Silver Spring, Md.

Vernon Literary Society, 2, 3; Y. M. C. A., 1, 2; Elm Staff, 4; International Society, 4. Every year, Allen comes back to us as brown as a berry, and with a rollicking sea-stride, fresh from one of his trips somewhere on the Seven Seas. Unfortunately, his ship was held up in quarantine , so he is always forced to miss the first three weeks of school. If you think all the romance is dead in the world, just get him to tell you some of his sea stories. RUTH CANNON Crocheron, Md. r :i Gamma Sigma Sorority, 2, 3, 4; Secretary, 3; Women ' s Student Council, 3, 4; Board of Managers, G. I. A. A., 2, 3, 4; Hon- orary Varsity Basketball, 2; Honorable Mention, Basketball, 1; Adelphia Literary Society, 1 ; Mt. Vermon Literary Society, 3, 4; Biological Society, 4. Ruth has been an honest-to-goodness hard worker, and she deserves plenty of credit for it. In the midst of her work downtown, in the President ' s office, or in the Cafeteria, we find she still has time to make a varsity team or two. Ruth is a calm and cool basketball player, but she can certainly get up in the air when the occasion calls for it. She leaves behind her a record of more than one job well done.

Just a moment, folks, and Professor Chambers will solve any problem for you — international or domestic — just let him get his mind down to it. Are you prepared to go to war tomor- row ? Dick is liable to pop such indigestible questions at you most any place, over the din- ner table or out on the lacrosse field. He ' s the ideal philosopher, even when he ' s enjoying himself he can still be worried over the situa- tion in the Balkans. e ) %m ALICE GRIFFITH CRUIKSHANK Galena, Md. K r Kappa Gamma Sorority, 3, 4; Board of Managers of G. I. A. A., 4. It would take a fair-sized earthquake to cause Alice to lose her calm serenity, a mild tremor wouldn ' t even cause her to drop a stitch in her knitting. She is one of the few people we know who need never worry over such matters as having coffee nerves or being a ring-twiddler . The very person to help another fellow in his undertaking. IVON EARLE CULVER Chestertown, Md. Cotillion Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Mt.

Three-point Culver cropped out on top the first half of his Senior year. His interests vary from the flora and fauna of the Biology De- partment to trumpet tooting in the Orchestra. For one year Ivon fooled the Glee Club by opening his mouth wide and remaining ex- tremely quiet while the others were singing, but one time he let a note get out, and now he doesn ' t sing there any more. HENRY GARRISON DAVIS Bridgeton, New Jersey Transferred from Ursinus College, 2; Co- c:lllon Club, 4; Y. M. C. A., 2; Orchestra, 2, 3, 4: Manager, 4. Many a time has Henry, as agent for a Cleaning and Dyeing Company, talked us into givmg him a suit we just got back from some other Cleaners. A bloodhound could pick up a few pointers from him when he gets on the trail of a pair of trousers, or some other pressmg business. He has bared the inner- most parts of full many a radio, and we pre- dict he will rise to the rarefied heights of the radio repairing profession, if he enters this field. GEORGE deSOCIO Elkton, Md. T K N Phi Sigma Phi, I, 2, 3, 4; Theta Kappa Nu, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Cotillion Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Mt. Vernon Literary Society, 3. 4; Lacrosse, 2, 3; Glee Club, 4. For his entire Freshman year George stayed in his room to listen to the radio, or to play his cornet. He ' s beert stepping out lately, but we still suspect his radio is his first love. Who else could really enjoy plotting a fre- quency-oscillatory curve, or whatever that darn curve was he tried in vain to explain to us. Now, no social function would be complete without Ole Hoss and his famous Ed Wynn chuckle. 43 4 NORRIS CLAYTON DUFFY Salisbury, Md. Alpha Kappa Fraternity, 3; Y. M. C. A., 2; Dramatic Club, 3, 4. Sheriff went to Sweden on a boat last summer, and we have been hanging around the book-stalls ever since, hoping to see a book on his travels. It should be good reading, if it gets past the censors. Norris is the only man we ' ve ever met who could revive some old joke and have his audience in stitches in no time — it ' s just that grin, we guess. ELLIS CHARLES DWYER Twin Oaks, Pa. Phi Sigma Tau, 1, 2; Football, I, 2, 3, 4; W , 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain, 4; J. V. Basket- ball, 1; Lacrosse, 1, 3; W , 3; Baseball, 2, 4; Intra-Mural Basketball Winners, 3; Coach of Freshmen and Sophomore Football Teams, 3, 4; Charge of West Hall, 3; Physics Assistant, 4. If any Senior ever had reason to strut a little as he walked up to get his diploma, it would be Ellis — for he was the captain of our first undefeated football team as far back as Dean Jones can remember. Professor Coop nearly broke down when he realized that his labora- tory assistant — Dwyer — was going to leave soon. Where , moaned the professor, can I ever again find a man like that ? E. CLARKE FONTAINE, JR. Chestertown. Md. A K Alpha Kappa Fraternity, 1, 2, 3, 4; Elm Staff, 1, 4; Orchestra, 1; Adelphia Literary Society, 1; Y. M. C. A., I; Biological So- ciety, 4; Cotillion Club, 1, 2, 3. The authorities of the College have c onsidered having a special bulletin board made for Clarke to write his own very ultra-wise cracks on. Some day we are going to live up to a secret ambition of ours, and that is to introduce a funny story to the school before Fontaine does. Clarke is a first-class student of Psychology, and he talks very interestingly on such mat- ters as neurosis, compensation and conditioned reflex. ALFRED WILLIAM GARDINER Chaptico, Md.

Vernon Literary Society, 1, 2, 3, 4; International Society, 4; President, 4; Inter-Collegiate Debating Team, 4. Gardiner, with his Chaptico, Maryland, Sir, is one of the lasting impressions of our Fresh- men year; he was blessed with the name John Alfred by Doc Murray, and he is now laboring under the impression that it ' s his birth name. Al holds down the position of Vice- President of our class very nicely, besides being President of the International Society (which he organized single handed) . When greater heights are reached in Economics, Gardiner will reach them. 0, ii% ■ I- 4 LEE SETH GILLIS St. Michaels, Md. Orchestra, I, 2, 3, 4; Soloist, 4; Cotillion Club, 4; Intra-Mural Basketball Winners, 2; Adelphia Literary Society, 1; J. V. Bas- ketball, 1. Seth has proven he can really get good marks if he wants to, and that he can master as difficult a bit of Economics as any one in the class. Lee is a visitor to many rooms and wel- come to all. His arguments are of the best as far as amusement goes, and the way he can tell you how a class should be run is beyond all comparison. His best friends are Dr. Howell and his saxophone. He sits up for both half the night — playing on one at a dance and studying for the other in his room. LOUIS LAZARUS GOLDSTEIN Prince Frederick, Md.

Every- thing about him is big — his gestures, his heart, and his pedal extremities. He ' s made more friends by his happy care-free manner than any boy in the college — we roughly estimate he knows three-quarters of the people in Mary- land, and most of them are his bosom pals. If you don ' t think he ' s a good business manager, just look in the back of this book at the ads. MARY ELIZABETH HALL Church Hill, Md. Shakespeare Club, 3, 4: The Caxtonions, 4; Class Volley Ball, 3; Basketball Class Team, 3, 4; Town Girls ' Association, 1, 2, 3, 4; Washington College Art Association, 4. They say Ehzabeth has a passion for thorough- ness and a love for the drama as portrayed by Shakespeare. Hamlet found her taking the part of Reynaldo, and a right snappy actress did she make in her boy ' s costume of the Shakespeare days. When she is not tread- ing the boards , she is doing her best to widen her knowledge with the Caxtonions or by delv- ing into the arts with the Art Association. MARTHA HALL Church Hill, Md. Basketball Class Team, 1, 2, 3, 4; Volley- ball Class Team, 1, 2, 3, 4; Town Girls ' Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Martha is a Church Hillite, and as a com- muter she sees a great deal of Eastern Shore scenery. Her friends regret that this arrange- ment does not give her as much time on the campus as they would like her to have. How- ever, while she has been here her smile and engaging, friendly conversation have livened many an hour in the hall and classroom. ' i ELOISE PENNINGTON HEPBURN Worton, Md. Classical Society, 3, 4; Historical Society, 4; Y. W. C. A., 1, 2; Archery, 1. Eloise throws a smile your way instead of a lot of words, and if you ask us that is the more desirable of the two. She has spent this year drilling Latin syntax into high school classes; and, believe it or not, she makes them like it. The teaching profession will have a serious, conscientious addition when Eloise enters this field, as she plans to do next year. NOLA E. HILL CROW Kennedyville, Md. Elm Staff, 4; Shakespeare Players, 3, 4; Caxtonions, 4; Historical Society, 4; Y. W. C. A., 1; Mt. Vernon, 1, 2; Intra-Mural Basketball, 1, 2, 3. As the lovely Ophelia in the Shakespeare Club ' s presentation of Hamlet Nola won many new admirers, all of whom were im- pressed by her artistic interpretation of the part. In one act she was supposed to sing a sad and haunting refrain, and it was with fear and trembling that she looked forward to this, but she came through with flying colors. We wish her great happiness in her venture on the sea of matrimony.

What, you don ' t know how to work this problem? What is it, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics? Why you just go to see Gilbert Ingersoll, and if he can ' t answer it he ' ll get you talking about something else — painting or hunting or sail-boating or basketball, so you ' ll forget about the problem anyway . MARY ELIZABETH INSLEY Wingate, Md. Y. W. C. A., 2, 3, 4; Mount Vernon Lit- erary Society, 2, 3, 4; Biological Society, 4; Honorable Mention, Varsity Hockey, 2; Honorary Varsiry Hockey, 3; Class Basket- ball, 3; Class Volleyball, 2, 3. Mary is one of our most dependable athletes. Her diminutive size and peaceful appearance may fool the opposing team, but all Mary has to do is crack them on the shins a few times with her hockey stick, and she proves to them that she is a force not to be disregared. To most girls, such things as nasty, horrid worms are objects to be strenuously avoided; but Mary, as one of the few girls in the ad- vanced Biology courses, is on terms of famil- iarity with such things as the highly complex organism of Lumbricus Terrestris . ' .1 WILLIAM FRANK JARRELL, JR. Chestertown, Md. Mt. Vernon Literary Society, I, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Men ' s Glee Club ' , 1, 2, 3, 4; Biological Society, 4; Y M C. A., 1, 2. If you fall into that class of people who love to watch the bass drum and bass fiddle players in an orchestra, it will warm the cockles of your heart to watch Frank slap out harmony from his bass fiddle. He ' s just got that rhythm! Judging by the enthusiasm he has shown in his future field of work, we predict a new era in Education when Frank is loosed upon his high school pupils. JAMES WILLIAM JOHNS Chestertown, Md. Football, 1, 2; Baseball, 3; Basketball, 3; J. V. Basketball, 2, 4. When Jimmy grins you cannot see his eyes and at the same time we believe he cannot see us. The unfortunate thing about this is that he grins a lot and thus receives more than his share of hard knacks by bumping into things. He doesn ' t grin much when he holds down his position on the J. V. Basketball Team, so all his tripping, pushing and shoving must be on purpose; but his long, clean, arching shots into the basket redeem him. HAROLD BARTON KENNERLY Nanticoke, Md. Y. M. C. A., I, 2; Golf Association, 1; International Society, 4; Historical So- ciety, 4. The Pride of Nanticoke descended on us four years ago, and we have been hearing about his home town, God ' s Own Paradise , ever since. We were in favor of a movement for installing a bronze statue of Harold by the Sacred L for his work in the Freshmen- Sophomore football game, and we still think it is a good idea. Harold likes it here, but a true son of Nanticoke never really feels at his ease more than ten miles from his home town. JOHN WILLIAM LONG Fruitland, Md. T K N Theca Kappa Nu Fraternity, 4; Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity, 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer, 3; Cotillion Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer, 4; Mt. Vernon Literary Society 1, 2; International Society, 4; Reid Hall Cadets, 3, 4; Ser- geant, 4. Little would you think to look at this appar- ently mild, pleasantly-mannered chap that he is determined to become a legal sleuth in the pursuit of hardened criminals. However we have observed him practicing before a mirror to get a steely glint in his eyes, and have often heard him say, The deductions are evident , so we know he is in earnest. Bill has had a hard time staying out of the I Un-ly Heard column, merely because his name. Long, is such a good field for the fertile but feeble minds of columnists. S T JOHN MASON LORD Cumberland, Md. A K Alpha Kappa, 1, 2, 3, 4; President, 4; Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; W, 1, 2, 3, 4; J. V. Basketball, 1; Lacrosse, 2, 3; W , 3; Track, I, 4; Winner Wade G.

John is as good an athlete as he is poor a punster, which is certainly saying something for his athletic ability. He thinks nothing of trampling the most sacred principles of pun- ning into the dust, and yet he is a man of high moral integrity and principles. He ' s the kind of fellow you wouldn ' t mind seeing your son grow up to be like. HAROLD WARFIELD McCRONE Halethorpe, Md. 2 T Phi Sigma Tau, 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary, 3; Vice-President, 4; Class President, 4; Class Vice-Uresident, 2, 3: Honor Society, 3, 4; Dean ' s Cabinet, 4; Mt. Vernon Literary Society, 1; Y. M. C. A., 1; Chemical So- ciety, 3, 4; Vice-President, 4; Laboratory Assistant in Chemistry, 3, 4. If you can ' t find Mack up the Chemistry Lab. checking over that fourth decimal point in Quantitative Analysis, or inventing a new after-shaving lotion, you ' ll find him out on the Chester River, lufSng and tacking away in his sailboat. Remember the name — McCrone — because some day you ' ll see it after all sorts of chemical treatises. In his spare time, Mr. McCron-ah acts as Class President. 52 IRA DANIEL MEASELL, JR. Upper Marlboro, Md. Lacrosse Squad, 1; Assistant Manager, 3; Historical Society, 4; Art Association, 4; Treasurer, 4; Track, 4; Manager, 4; Inter- national Society, 4; Shakespeare Club, 4; Student Assistant Printer, 3, 4. This soft spoken Senior bears a heavy re- sponsibility on his shoulders, as he is the as- sistant school printer and mimeographs the exam and test papers. Around towards ex- amination time, Ira only ventures forth from his room in the daytime and then under heavy gaurd. He had plenty of trouble trying to keep his Middle Hall basketball team up in the first ranks, but he crushed all radical oppo- sition like a veteran, and came through nicely. ROBERT WATSON MITCHELL Salisbury, Md. 2 T Phi Sigma Tau Fraternity, 1, 2, 3, 4; Ser- geant-at-Arms, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Adelphia Literary Society 1; Cotillion Club, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, W . When Bob gets going on that violin of his in the College Orchestra, we sometimes wish he had a saw in his hand instead of a bow. Still and all, he has the courage to go on trying in the face of similar criticism, which shows he ' s got the right stuif in him. The Cotillion Club had a steady customer in this young blood, and we were lead to believe it was his love of music that took him to the dances. More careful thought causes us to doubt whether it was love of music. .1 JOSEPH AMBROSE MOONEY, JR. Baltimore, Md. T. K. N.

Sometimes he has rendered selections upon odd occasions, and sometimes upon no occasion at all. He is in the Glee Club, and has yodeled his way to the presidency of the organization. Seldom do you find a man more at home upon a dance floor or basketball floor or any other kind of floor. MARY LOUISE MOORE Cheswold, Del. Mount Vernon Literary Society, 1, 2, 3, 4; Writers ' Club, 1, 2; Y. W. C. A,, 2, 3, 4; Classical Society, 3, 4. It is a relief in this age of lurid literature to find some one still maintaining an active in- terest in classical works. Horace, Catullus, and Lucretius all have some enchanting appeal to Mary Louise, and she is one of a select few who seems to really enjoy her Latin classes. We have never carefully investigated the mat- ter, but we believe she has set an all-time record in never coming to a Latin class with her lesson unprepared. MARY JANE NEILD Cambridge, Md. r 2 Gamma Sigma Sorority, 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice- President, 3; Women ' s Student Government Association, 2, 3, 4; Secretary, 3; Vice-Pres- ident, 4; Class Secretary, 3, 4; International Society, 4; Mt.

One look at Mary Jane, and you can see why we gave up trying to describe her. Truly one picture is worth a thousand words. We over- heard a remark that best describes her — at a party the hostess said, Won ' t you come into my garden? I would like my roses to see you. EARL WALLACE PRICE Cumberland, Md. A K Alpha Kappa Fraternity, 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice- President, 4; Y. M. C. A., 1; Chemistry Club, 3, 4; Assistant Manager of Basket- ball, 2, 3; Manager of Basketball, 4; Stu- dent Assistant in Chemistry, 4. Earl has been an excellent manager of the bas- ketball team. The way he used to walk out on the floor and tenderly throw a towel at the opposing team in his training days was beyond description. Law and Order Price has been a law-abiding citizen at College and well de- serving of the honor of managing this year ' s Flying Pentagon. Earl made out pretty well last summer; he made plenty of dough work- ing in a bakery. 55 WILLIAM DONALD RANKIN Westernport, Md. Mt. Vernon Literary Society, 1, 2. In this busy, bustling, hustling world of ours the sight of Don leisurely wending his way across the campus is a sedative to our frayed nerves. But appearances are deceiving; he gets more work done than some of our professional students. We can see Don now when he gets to be head man over a class of young and hopeful students, dealing out knowledge right and left, and controlling the class by the application of all the Cardinal Principles of Education, which he memorized, sneered at, and swore at so many times himself. HOWARD DALE REES Chestertown, Md. A K Alpha Kappa Fraternity, 1, 2, 3, 4; Bas- ketball, 3; J. V. Basketball, 2, 4. -, The legendary figure of Fire Chief Rees has r evolved from the dim traditions of the past, r and now the story as to how he got his name has grown to startling proportions. According to one tale. Dale gained this title by leading an entire family to safety as he dodged in and out of the flames of a burning home; another version has it he acted as a volunteer fire de- partment and subdued a conflagration single- handed, putting the Chestertown Fire Depart- ment to shame. However he got his name, he really goes like a fire chief when he gets to working on a basketball court. 56 LeROY KARL REMSBERG Middleton, Md. Transfer from University of Maryland, 1; Y. M. C.

Doctor Livmgood will tear his hair when Karl graduates this spring, for Karl and his trumpet have long been one of the supports of the school orchestra.

Cool and calm, and managerially efficient in his white uniform, Dusty acts as head waiter over the cafeteria. In this capacity he guides the destinies of all us students, for as the Chinese say, A man is only as good as his stomach , and Rhodej sees to it that none of us are too good. His last year here, he has beaten a special little track of his own over to Reid Hall. 57 JOHN CALVIN ROGERS, JR. Eastport, Md. T K N Theta Kappa Nu Fraternity, 4; Phi Sigma Phi, 2, 3, 4; J.

After rooming with a fellow a few years you get to know him pretty well, and you get to understand his traits that most people would never get the chance to observe. That ' s the way we got to know the Admiral and to know his habits — his passion for beans and French-fried potatoes — his sleeping all through Sundays — his precise, mathematical mind — his kidding his friends — his eternal talk of complexes — and his diabolical frame of mind when he approaches a tennis court or bridge game. If only he ' d stop wearing other people ' s neckties, we ' d say he ' s O. K. WESLEY LEONIDAS SADLER, JR. Randallstown, Md.

It ' s a hard life when you are the President of the Student Council, of the Y. M. C. A., of the Mt. Vernon, and godfather of the Fresh- man class, besides being president of most ev- ery other club on the hill, and then to be kicked out of a basketball game on fouls. Wesley hasn ' t been his usual cheerful self since. We hope he won ' t take offense at this, ' cause it doesn ' t pay to offend a first-rate wrestler. 58 RICHARDSON WRIGHT SAYLER Newark, N. J.

Dick has led an active life while he has been in College. Not only has he won a place for himself in that humble domicile known as Reid Hall, but more than once has he brought thundering applause by shooting a ball for the basket and making the balcony instead. Besides these and other successes he has suc- ceeded in reaching the vice-presidency of many a society on the Hill. If half the presidents around College would resign, Dick would cer- tainly have his h ands full. ROBERT SCHNEPFE SHAULL Baltimore, Md. Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity, 2, 4; J.

Frances ' s earnestness at sticking to a job till it is well done, and her ability for handling difficult tasks have won for herself quite a reputation. Her writing ability is shown by her front-page contributions to the Elm. The first two years of her life here were spent in seclusion from outside activities, but Frances more than made up for that inactivity in her last two years. MILDRED LEE SKINNER Cambridge, Md.

Mimi is one of those well-meaning persons who always does the right thing at the wrong time, but her friends never seem to mind this in the least. It is characteristic of her to come panting into a class a few minutes after the last bell has rung, with a fistful of food and a face full of grin. Mimi is a voracious reader and almost half the slips in the library bear her autograph; however, she doesn ' t let her studies interfere with her college education. LELAND BATES STEVENS Millington, Md. Biological Society, 4; Vice-President, 4; Y. M. C. A., 1; Football, 1; Biology Assistant, 4. Steve has proven that wisdom may be akin to the young as well as to those of great age. He proved this by filling very capably the job as assistant in the Biology Department, even giving a lecture at times. Of course, murmurs of revolt were heard, but this didn ' t disconcert Leland in the least. He gave his students a lot of pain just as he will relieve others of it when he begins to show his ability as a doctor. DAVID HENRY WALLACE Barclay, Md. Football, 1; Baseball, 3, 4: Mt.

Dave only lived around us for a little while — two years in fact, but that was long enough to discover his favorite sports were wrestling and intramural basketball, and to reveal that his smile went a long way towards making things better around the halls. We remember him in basketball, pushing, charging and shov- ing his way towards the basket, grinning as he trod on someone ' s prostrate form, and having the biggest time trying to slaughter the oppo- sition. , WILLIAM JOHN WATSON Towson, Md. a 2 T Phi Sigma Tau Fraternity, 3, 4; J.

Bill Watson may be Silent Bill personi- fied or he may be one of these men who hide their light under a bushel and never wholly succeed. Bill was not only a silent threat on the Tau ' s basketball team, but he was a scor- ing threat as well. He also played the old In- dian game of lacrosse, and although he never actually scalped anybody with his lacrosse stick, he tried his best to accomplish this aim. We played basketball with him on the Soph- omore team, and he ' s a mighty good team mate. CLARE ELIZABETH WYLE Balboa, Canal Zone Mt.

Clare was the Girls ' Champion in Archery for a long time, and the bull ' s eye takes plenty of punishment when- ever she pulls the bow. We would confidently match her with anyone when it comes to a good, sound, logical argument. MARGARET ANNA WANDERER Pennsgrove, N. J.

Any time you see red hair bobbing up and down on the dance floor, Flicker is pretty sure to be under it, and dancing her best. We wish we hadn ' t decided to omit any mention of a person ' s lively, gay behavior, or we would mention Flicker as being in this class. Her red hair and infectious laughter go together just like bread and butter or ham and eggs. ■ - • m ( CASUALTIES— CLASS OF 1935 BAILY, ROLAND JAMES BARNETT, RUTH ELLA BEXLEY, REBECCA KATHERINE BISHOP, CATHERINE ANNE BLIZARD, HAROLD STRATTEN, JR.

The splendid Chesapeake, first seen by the white man in 1607, is mother of them all. In the North roars the noble Susquehanna, and the river names as one goes southward are poetry. The Bohemia, the Sassafras, our own Chester, the Tred Avon, the Transquaking, Tuckahoe Creek, the Chicamacomico, the Nanticoke, the Manokin, the Wicomico — all weave through the smooth Southern land. The Eastern Shore has nearly three thousand miles of shoreline, on Bay, river, and creek. Thousands of tributaries to the Chesapeake intertwine through the country so that the Shore is like a fabric. These waterways have been for three centuries highways. Proud Baltimore clippers sped down the Chesapeake to carry Eastern Shore tobacco and grains around the world. Smart bug- eyes and skipjacks sailed to plantation wharves to bring supplies, products, imports. Crack packets rounded to anchor in the Miles River awaiti ng passengers from the wealthy manors, going to An- napolis or Baltimore for the Winter season.

BOOK THREE ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS THE DEAN ' S CABINET nPHE Dean ' s Cabinet this year celebrates its fifth anniversary. It is a non-legislative, advisory body assembled by Dr. J. S. William Jones to consult and suggest on matters of college benefit. The organization provides a connection between administration and r , students. The members are chiefly seniors who head campus publications and important 1 organizations. They include the presidents of the upper classes and the fraternities. Meet- ings of the group are called by the Dean, or by five members through the medium of the Dean, whenever necessary. The Cabinet brings together diverse opinions on campus matters, and recommends when desirable to various campus activities. A notable and representative work of the Cabinet this year was the managing of the boat trip to the Hopkins game. The Cabinet includes: Seniors — William Oliver Baker, Richard Powell Chambers, John Mason Lord, Harold Warfield McCrone, Wesley Leonidas Sadler, Robert Schnepfe ShauU. Juniors — William Andrew Reinhart. Sophomores — Arthur Wilbert Griems.

Each man on the Council has done his best and the success that has been met in realizing these purposes is due to the hard work, clear thinking, and honesty of the ten men on the Council. This year has been the busiest and the most successful of the past ten. Difficult prob- lems have been handled in such a way that Student Government has become strengthened at Washington College. It is the hope of this Council that the students will continue to look upon such future bodies as their real representatives and continue to give the whole hearted support that they have given this year. 77 THE WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION President Ella Lillian Barkley Vice-President.. .— Mary Jane Neild Secretary-Treasurer..... Carolyn Louise Helms Senior Representatives Ella Lillian Barkley Ruth Lillian Cannon Mary Jane Neild junior Representatives Carolyn Louise Helms Anna Lucile Legg Sophomore Representative Louise Nicholson Freshman Representative Lorraine Adele Pink ' I ' HE Women ' s Student Government Association is one of the more recent organizations - ' - at Washmgton College. Its purpose is to regulate the internal affairs of Reid Hall with the help and advice of the Dean of Women. It has always met with the utmost cooperation and approval of the girls and is known for its fairness and sincerity in all its measures. The Council is composed of three Seniors, one of whom is President, and one Vice-Presi- dent; two Juniors, one of whom is the Secretary-Treasurer; one Sophomore, and one Fresh- man. Since 1933 there has been a proportionate representation of non-sorority girls on the Council.

It has been the aim of the Society to give its members a chance to develop ease and grace in public appearance. The results have been encouraging, as more people have taken part in the programs than at any time during the past four years. The Musical Programs, composed of the best talent in the College, have been excellent, and have no doubt aided greatly in increasing the membership to its present large number. The meetings were not all of a serious nature, however, and when the brilliant talent of the various aspiring comedians was given free rein, the members of the Society saw humorous vaudeville at its best. It is interesting to note that the meetings have been of such a nature as to warrant the Society ' s being invited to take charge of a Chapel program for next year. This year something new was started by having several students interested in public speaking give a five-minute speech on any topic, serious or otherwise. These speeches were judged by the officers of the Society and the one voted as having given the best speech was awarded a prize. 79 n tkM wm THE YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 4 President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer „DoRis Metcalfe Nancy Post LuciLE Legg Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Ann Whyte Faculty Advisor Dr. Esther Dole QINCE its organization in 1931-32, the Y. W. has added new activities to its list. First of all, the Y. W. appoints a Big Sister for each of the Freshmen women, and holds a reception for the Freshman class. Throughout the year several informal teas have been held for the faculty, friends and students of the College. The Y. W. has joined with the Y. M. C. A. occasionally on Sunday evenings to sponsor Vesper services. Discussion of campus problems are a feature of such programs. It is the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. to apply the teachings of Christ to our social prob- lems. As this copy gets to press, the Y. W. is looking forward to greater fields to conquer, such as helping the Y. M. C. A. sponsor the Y. conference to be held at Washington College this year.

M. C. A. and the extent of its activities has been almost phenomenal. From a group of ten members on May 25th, 1933, the membership has increased to 52 and from all predictions it will become even higher. The activities of this organization have varied from sponsoring Vesper Services on our own campus to holding a Peace Conference in which the 130 participants, both leaders and delegates, came from schools, colleges, and churches located within a radius of a hundred miles. This is the biggest thing the local Y has done, and by so doing it began its partici- pation in international affairs. Several other new projects were instituted this year, among which was the Senior Fund. Through this fund a senior who has been a member of the Y for four will receive a charm at graduation. 81 , 4 THE WASHINGTON PLAYERS President _._ __ Harry C.

Not only are the primary purposes realized, but the members achieve valuable experience in stage management, stage setting and property work. This year the players are very happy to announce that Prof. Winton Tolles is the new guiding spirit of the organization; the constitution, which the players accepted, was sub- mitted by Professor Tolles. During the past years the Players have given three plays throughout the year; this year the organization followed a somewhat different plan. In addition to the three public plays, the Players presented each month a program of two or three one-act plays; these programs are mainly for the benefit of the club members, although visitors are welcomed. The club presented, for the first time in its history, a one-act play in one of the weekly assemblies of the college.

Swain, Jr. Vice-President Michael Wallace Secretary Priscilla Granger Treasurer ..George Pratt 4 WASHINGTON COLLEGE ' S span of existence is coincident with the development of the nation. History, from an objective point of view, has always been a dominant study at the college. In looking to the future Washington College has been guided by a sound interpretation of the eventful years during which America has grown to full stature among the nations of the world. In a real sense the future must be built upon an under- standing of the past. The Historical Society was formed in the autumn of 1934 by those who had in mind the aim of not only promoting a deeper historical interest among themselves, but also that of popularizing local history. It was the earnest hope that the Society ' s activities would be confined to the fulfillment of those inspiring ideals. A high note was sounded at the very beginning. Speakers, such as Dr. James E. Hancock, Secretary of the Maryland Historical Society and President Maryland Society of the War of 1812; Dr. Sylvester W. Beach, Chap- lain of the New Jersey Society of Colonial Wars and of the Society of Descendants of Colonial Governors; Miss Elizabeth Stuart, Regent of the Kent County D. A. R., and others were secured. Pilgrimages to points of historical importance were undertaken. A his- torical exhibition was held during the Spring. The College was by the efforts of the Society presented with two steel engravings of Washington. Twenty dollars in prizes was donated to the Society to be awarded to the member who submits the best paper on local history. A commission to survey Kent County and the College is being sponsored to bring to light for- gotten material. This will represent one of the most important accomplishments of the Society. THE DEBATING SOCIETY T AST year ' s renewed interest in debating resulted in an active current year. In order to build upon a strong nucleus for future seasons, the officials of the Debating Society encouraged lower classmen, and especially Freshmen, to debate. The Faculty Coach was Mr. Winton ToUes, of the Public Speaking Department. The Pi Kappa Delta question: Resolved, That the Nations Should Agree to Prevent the International Shipment of Arms and Munitions, was debated with five colleges. A home-and-home debate with Blue Ridge on March 1 resulted in a defeat at home, and no decision at Blue Ridge. Western Maryland won at Washington on March 2, but the judges were for the first time unanimous in giving Washington ' s team of BergdoU and Vandervoort the decision over Johns Hopkins, at Ches- tertown, on March 9. Later debates were with Haverford, and the University of Maryland. The Debating Society includes the following members: William Oliver Baker, presi- dent; Wesley Leonidas Sadler, manager; Alfred Gardiner, Lawrence Williams, Marvin Smith, Luther Bergdoll, William van Newkirk, Benjamin Vandervoort, and, as affiliates, Frederick Taylor, Howard Clark and Robert Snyder. 87 THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY Prdeses...

Meetings twice monthly alternate between presentations of independent studies on the part of members and informal talks by interested department heads who give freely of their time and experience. Particular attention is given to the part played in modern life by our inheritance of ancient culture. CHEMICAL SOCIETY President Henry Gilbert Ingersoll Vice-President Harold Warfield McCrone Secretary — Samuel Charles Dudley Treasurer - Francis Howard Braxton Director Dr. Kenneth Smith Buxton THE Chemical Society of Washington College was organized in the fall of 1933 by a group of students interested in Chemistry. Their purpose was to make a broader knowl- edge of the subject possible, particularly in fiields not covered in the classroom. The Society has carried out this ideal by holding bi-monthly meetings, at which gath- erings demonstrations were given and papers were read by the members. The Society has been fortunate this year in ob taining a series of films illustrating industrial processes. MEMBERS W. O. Baker J. H. McLam H. W. McCrone F. H. Bratton L. L. Goldstein H. J. Dunton E.

The Cotillion Club dances are open for subscription to all students and alumni of the College, together with the subscribers approved by the committee. 90 HONOR SOCIETY nPHE Scholastic Honor Society has made much progress in its second year. It has con- - - tinued the plan of guest lecturers and faculty-led discussions at the regular monthly meetings. In addition, a closer understanding between faculty and students has been effected. The Society feels that such a relationship results in stimulation and learning among the members of a sort to be had nowhere else in college life. Election to the Scholastic Honor Society is normally at the end of the first semester of the candidate ' s junior year. The candidate must have at least a 2.25 index, and rank in the upper tenth of his class. Faculty members are elected in June, by ballot, by the undergrad- uates. The Constitution provides that the president, secretary and treasurer shall be mem- bers from the faculty, and that these and other faculty memberships shall be rotated among the professors. The Society ai ms to promote scholarship, increase the scholarly prestige of Washington College, and to reward unusual scholarly effort by the annual award to the Valedictorian. Members of the Society are: Dr. Kenneth Buxton, president; William Oliver Baker, vice-president; Dr. Frederick G. Livingood, secretary; Ella Barkley, assistant secretary; Dr. Gertrude Ingalls, treasurer; Dr. Kathleen Carpenter, Dr. Esther Dole, Dr. William Howell; President Gilbert Wilcox Mead, Honorary Member; and seniors, H.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY President _ Alfred William Gardiner Vice-President- Richard Powell Chambers Secretary .___Margaret Lyons Saulsbury Special Corresponding Secretary ___JVIarvin Hugh Smith Faculty Adviser Prof. Frederick William Dumschott THE International Society was organized in the fall of 1934 as a result of interest shown by a group of students in the study and discussion of international problems. The Society functioned throughout the school year 1934-1935. Meetings were held every two weeks and consisted of talks given either by members of the Society or by visiting speakers well acquainted with international affairs. Discussions led by the main speaker fol- lowed the talks. ' Besides the regular meetings, the Society accomplished other achievements. It became associated with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Through this association the Society received many valuable books on international affairs and through the co-opera- tion of the library a special shelf was reserved for books belonging to the International Society. The Carnegie Peace Foundation also sent current literature to the Society and each member received every two weeks a Fortnightly Sununary of International Events., The Society hopes in future years to create among the students of Washington College an increasing interest in international problems, to continue to build up a library of its own, and to send delegates to the Middle Atlantic International Relations Clubs Conference sored atmually by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. 93 WASHINGTON COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION President Elizabeth Thibodeau Secretary Harriett Louisa Rogers Treasurer Ira Measell IN LINE with the growing appreciation and understanding of art in the modern world there has been in the last year at Washington College a marked increase in attendance in the courses in the history of art. Trips to the Museums of Baltimore and Philadelphia have enabled the students to enjoy the exhibitions of the art treasures of the world and to further promote such an interest the Washington College Art Association was organized in December, 1935. This organization is affiliated as a charter member with the American Federation of Arts, a national organization for the cultivation of the Arts with headquarters in Washington, D. C. Through this central art agency Washington College has secured a series of Art Exhibitions and illustrated lectures on art. The Washington College Association has about twenty-five members and is open to any student or member of the faculty interested in the promotion of an interest in art. THE CAXTONIANS A President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer.. Faculty Adviser Jay Franklin Spry Margaret Thornton .-Clifton Hope ..Dr. Gertrude V. Ingalls ON THE twentieth of November, 1934, a group of some twenty students, interested in books, and in knowing more about them, formed themselves into a society to be known as The Caxtonians. Each member hopes to become a book collector, and to that end pledges himself to buy at least one rare book a year. In addition, the society, by means of reading, listening to lectures, examining catalogues, and, wherever possible, rare books themselves — is famil- iarizing itself with the background of information necessary for a collector; information as to bibliography, book-making, technicalities of printing, of editions , etc. The society hopes in time to be able to start for the College Library some special col- lection of rare or first editions. Membership includes not only undergraduate students, but graduate as well. PUBLICATIONS William O. Baker Editor Louis L. Goldstein Business Manager THE WASHINGTON ELM 4 THE Washington Elm was completely reorganized in 1935. The journalistic advances made in the more than third of a century life of the newspaper, and especially those made within the last decade, were incorporated into the new system. The combined work of the business and editorial staffs made possible the innovation of a weekly paper. Thus the publication schedule was doubled without increasing the indi- vidual tax on the students. Definite standards of journalistic excellence were erected at the beginning of the year. A class in journalism was offered by Dr. Gertrude Ingalls, of the English Department, which all associate editors, exclusive of sports editors, and many reporters, attended. The work of the class was correlated with work on the Elm, and expert weekly criticisms and suggestions were important contributions toward raising the standard of writing. The staff included special divisions headed by associate editors especially familiar with the particular field, as music, drama, sports. Definite campaigns for College-wide benefit were carried on during the year. They ranged from the obtaining of cheer-leaders ' uniforms to the granting of stack privileges in the library. The initiative of the business staff has resulted in a trebled circulation among Alumni. The Exchange Editor has maintained connection with several publications all over the nation. Membership on the staff is granted, under the new system, only after three regularly assigned articles have been accepted and published, and the candidate is capable, in the opinion of the Editor, of doing writing of the required standard. The Elm has adopted the permanent policy of continued higher standards and improved organization. It holds always to the principle that its duty and loyalty are to Washington College, and that it must act as a coordinator among students, faculty, administration and the outside world.

' THE SILVER PENTAGON SOCIETY 4 ' T ' HE Silver Pentagon Society was organized in 1926 as an honorary leadership society. The ideals of the society, as symbolized by its pentagon-shaped insignia, are: Scholar- ship, Athletics, Leadership, Friendship and Loyalty. The Society has as its prime purpose the furthering and the harmonious development of these aims on the Washington Q llege campus. Through its efforts as a unit and its behavior as individuals, the Silver Pentagon Society strives to advance Washington College through the realization of these ideals. Every Silver Pentagon man must be preeminent among the student body for some one or more of these first three activities, and he must include the last tviio, Friendship and Loyalcy, as basic constituents of his character. The Society, through its efforts and achievements in nu- merous phases of campus life, has earned a position of singular respect; a man who is chosen for membership in the society is thereby marked as a man of admirable character and achievement. Membership in the Society is closely and carefully governed; those who attain affiliation with Silver Pentagon have widened their eligibility and desirability by adhering to and meeting the strict requirements of an activities point system in use on the campus and prescribed by the society. This qualifying system requires that, in order to be eligible for membership, an applicant must have proven himself active in two of the major fields of collegiate activity and also in three fields of minor activity. Thus, it is evident that the men of the Silver Pentagon Society are truly leaders of their fellows. Examples of the activities of the Silver Pentagon Society are always evident on the campus. Several of the more widely recognized programs of the society are the sponsoring of frequent informal dances at a minimum cost to the students, and the administration of a budget of student activities, whereby student organizations on the campus are aided finan- cially by a general fund to which all members of the college contribute. The Society tries to serve the students at all times by rising to meet special contingencies and occasions; for example, the Society managed a bus trip to Newark, Delaware, in order that all students might have an opportunity to witness the Washington-Delaware football game. In its decade of existence on the campus. Silver Pentagon has moved steadily forward; increasing and developing both in its scope of campus activities and intercollegiate relations. In 1928 the Society had grown to such proportions that it was granted a charter of member- ship in the Blue Key Honorary Fraternity. The Silver Pentagon Society was an active partici- pant in the affairs of this organization at home for five years; then, in 1933, the Society resigned from the Blue Key Fraternity. Since 1933, the Society, in addition to its accus- tomed offices and achievements, has endeavored to gain admittance to Omicron Delta Kappa — the outstanding national leadership fraternity. One may be sure that the Silver Pentagon Society shall long continue to hold a position of trust and respect on the campus, and shall continue to acquit itself in such a manner that Washington College will be proud of such an organization.

Girls are everywhere, girls dancing, girls singing, and girls turning somersaults on the good green turf, and over all blares the rhythm of a Spanish waltz. And all for what — why for the June Fete, of course. Right here and now we might as well air an old grievance that we have against the June Fete. It comes at the wrong time!

Some are pure Geor- gian in design, but most have been modified by the Southern chmate and landscape. The oldest ones, a few of which have not long to wait for their fourth century to begin, are simple brick structures, with attached or ad- jacent servants ' quarters. The magnificent mansions of the Eighteenth Century are the true representatives of the Eastern Shore. Hope House, Wye House, The Hermitage, Radcliffe, The Anchorage — one could name a score at a time. These impressive monuments to the past ' s splen- dor stand for the most part intact, often surrounded by extensive, beautiful boxwood gardens. Thus stands Wye House, on whose ballroom walls hang today portraits by Reynolds and our own Peale. The finest English box gardens in the world surround the mansion, and all is bounded by a well-preserved . hee-haw, or moat. Be- tween Wye House and the manor graveyard, where William Paca and Francis Scott Key lie, stands a century-old, exquisite reproduc- tion of Le Petite Trianon. But great houses do not mean all of the Shore ' s architecture. There is variety, and the modest gambrel roof often appears, along with specialized two-level, gable-roofed, muUioned-chimney dwell- ings, as exemplied in Comegy ' s Bight. Of the town houses, Wide- hall, on this page, is an excellent example. BOOK FOUR -rf iw I -,. (ran n II  |ii «iw_. ATHLETICS COACHES Head Coach of Basketball and Baseball.

Too much credit cannot be given to the coaching of George Ekaitis and J. Thomas Kib- ler, who serve as Head Coach and Assistant Coach respectively. It would be appropriate at this time to remark on the changed spirit existing at the College. Exemplifying a hard charging line and a hard running backfield, and instilled with the thought that a team that won ' t be beat can ' t be beat, the eleven, backed by the student body, swept through a victorious season. Washington opened its season with a display of great potential power, when they defeated Gallaudet. 51-0. Touchdowns were scored by Huffman, Nicholson (2), Salter, Greims (2) , Wilmot, and Young, while extra points were scored by Huffman and Berry, who hooted two points. In defeating Hopkins, 13-0, Washington gave its supporters a real opportunity to cheer. Gibby Young grabbed a Blue Jay pass and ran 101 yards for the first score. Hopkins became desperate in her attempts to score, but they seemed unable to break through the Sho ' men ' s line for any great gain. Berry intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for the second touchdown. Young booted one of the two placements for extra points. Almost the entire College enrollment was present at this game. A boat was chartered to take the students over to the game, and the affair became one of the big days of the school year. f- Left to Right— W. Huffman, Jim Sake aker, Charlie Berry, Hobart Tij 4 The Shoremen continued their New Deal football by trouncing Mount Saint Mary ' s, 12-6. The field was a quagmire of mud and water, and the first half ended with the score tied at 6-6. It was during this half that a fine example of college spirit was displayed. As the team sat in the locker room, tired and spiritless, Captain Dwyer was handed a telegram. He opened it and found a short message to the team, saying the students were behind the eleven. It was signed from the student body. A new energy seemed to fill the squad as they heard this, and they went out on the field determined to win. Young had made the first score for Washington on a Statue of Liberty play; while Lynch had scored for the Mount. Washington ' s final score came after a triple reverse play for a twenty-five yard gain. Homecoming Day at the College saw the one tie of the season, when Susquehanna held us 6-6. Washington led by six points at the half, only to see the score evened in the final ' period. The home team made a valiant effort to score again, but the game ended with the ball on Susquehanna ' s five-yard strip. Haverford was the next victim for the Shoremen, the final score being 39-14. Washing- ton scored in every period, one touchdown in the first period, two each in the second and third, and one in the fourth. Touchdowns were made by the following: Nicholson (3), Young (2), Berry (1). Nicholson made three extra points. Conn and Holzer scored for Haverford. Washington ' s greatest victory came over our traditional rival, Delaware; the score board at the end of the game showing 29-7. This conclusive victory gave to Washington College the Senator Hasting Cup for the coming year. Berry scored the first touchdown, after put the ball on Delaware ' s 10-yard mark. Nicholson booted the Left to R,ght—Al Bila John Mygatt. Al Wiln placement from the 20-yard line before the period ended. A fumble gave Delaware its score as one of her men fell on the ball back of the goal line. In the fourth period, Nicholson ran up the score by another touchdown, and made good the try for the extra point. Ward intercepted a Delaware pass and ran forty yards to score. Finally, Jimmy Salter went over the line on a pass from Berry to complete the scoring for the day. Following the grid season, the team was feted three times, at different football banquets. Bill Nicholson received All-Maryland honors by both Baltimore papers for fullback posi- tion. Ellery Ward was the recipient of All-State honors from the same papers. Bilancioni, Dwyer, Tignor, Lord, Fiuifman, and Berry received Honorable Mention. Those on the squad to receive letters were: Salter, Bilancioni, Dwyer, Kilby, Tignor, Ward, Lord, Skipp, Evans, Berry, Huffman, Wilmot, Young, Greims, Baker, Anderson, Nicholson, and Manager Rhodes. Thus ended Washington ' s greatest year on the gridiron. BASKETBALL Head Coach. _ J. Thomas Kibleh Assistant Coach F. W.

Three letter men were back from the year before, namely, Slcipp, Nicholson and Ward, as well as other men having previous experience on the court. Huffman, Salter, Wilmot and Horowitz were freshmen who looked especially good. From the beginning of the season ' s practice, an enthusiastic spirit to learn better bac ' ketball under Coach Kibler was evidenced. By the time of the first game. Coach Kibler had a good combination on the floor, which was given an outside chance to win the league. One improvement over the season before was that we played two games before the Christmas holidays, winning from Upsala, 39-35, and the next week losing to West Chester Teachers, 19-31. These two pre-holiday games gave the coaches a knowledge of the ability of the players, and showed them what to expect from the team when they were under fire. After Christmas, we played Johns Hopkins in their new gym, and, although the game was ragged in spots, we came through with a score of 26-16. This game marked a winning streak in which the Flying Pentagon rose to the top of the Maryland Collegiate League. Western Maryland lost the next week to the Kiblerites, 38-26; after which victory we lost to Maryland in a sluggish game on the Maryland court by the score of 23-47. 129 WiLMOT Skipp BiLANCION i Washington College defeated Mt. St. Mary ' s on our home court in an exciting, closely-contested game. A tie score was marked up as the regular game ended, then, in the e. tra five-minute period, Salters scored the winning points by dropping one through the hoop from the center of the floor. The final score was 29-27. Our team suffered a reversal of form when Loyola triumphed, playing in the Baltimore gym, 28-32. In the following two games the Shoremen showed their defensive and offensive ability by easily beating St. John ' s, 40-21, and Swarthmore, 40-17. The game with Johns f-Jopkins, in which we lost, 23-35, proved to be the turning point of the Washington College basketball season. As a result of this defeat, we also lost the chance to tie for the league leadership, as later events proved. As the league stood then, Washington College had to win the remaining games on its schedule to win the league. Mt. St. Mary ' s on their band box contributed a trouncing to the Washington five by a score of 15-25. As a result, three teams, Washington College, Loyola, and Mt. St. Mary ' s were tied for first place in the l eague. We beat Delaware in a sloppy game played on our home court by a score of 31-23. The next Thursday we played St. John ' s, winning from them 24-19, in which game AI Wilmot contributed to the cause by his sensational floor work. 130 McLa:n The Western Maryland game on the Westminster court was a thriller, with the Flying Pentagon finally coming through, 39-31. In this game the defensive work of Huffman was especially good while Ward played the best game of his collegiate career, scoring 17 points. The Kiblerites played Loyola at home for the right to meet Mt. St. Mary ' s for the league play-off, but, due to a slump in their game, they lost, 29-34. In the final game, Wash- ington beat Delaware, 32-26, in a game marked by hard playing and close guarding on both sides. Like football, basketball showed a remarkable improvement over the year before. A . better fighting spirit, and closer co-operation among the players contributed greatly to this v ' change. The freshmen members of the Varsity especially showed this teamwork, although, of course, every other man on the squad did his share. The Chestertown Armory proved to be an excellent home gym, and the greater space afforded allowed larger crowds the opportunity to see the games. The prospects for next year are very, good, with the whole varsity team coming back. ' IJpJl Those who received letters were: Salters, Nicholson, Skipp, Wilmot, Horowitz, Ward and ' ' ; ' McLain.

Six years ago the class in fencing consisted of two students and three members of the faculty, Dr. Ingalls, Miss Brewer and Miss Doris T. Bell. These latter members took a great deal of punishment at first, and they often left the gym covered with black and blue welts, after duels with over-enthusiastic students. Miss Brewer developed a slashing attack that left no doubt as to her sincerity and earnestness of purpose, and the other members developed similar tactics. The principles of this art are demonstrated to the girls taking the physical education course in the gym. Miss Bell gives further instruction to any of the students who are espe- cially interested, and many of the girls have taken advantage of this opportunity. Fencing has never become a major sport for girls at the College, mainly because the hockey and bas- ketball seasons haven ' t left a great deal of time for any other sport. A revived interest has been manifested in Fencing this year, and many people attribute this to the expert dueling in the Shakespeare Club ' s production, Hamlet. Mr. William Oliver Baker, as Hamlet, and Mr. William McCollough were the contestants in this play, and their masterful handling of the foils and parrying of strokes evoked the admiration of all who saw them.

At the close of a successful season, basketball still remains the most popular of the girls ' sports. The present Junior team retained their championship which they took in their Freshman year. The Freshman squad edged out the Sophomore team, and then challenged the Juniors; but they were defeated in this match after a stirring battle. The games had to be scheduled at night, and this arrangement eliminated some of the best prospects, who v ere day students unable to com_e in to the College at night. 141 TENNIS ' I ' ENNIS has grown by leaps and bounds in popularity in the last five years, with more ' girls coming out every year and entering the Tournament. These girls usually learn to JT play tennis with the encouragement and aid of the student instructors. With the larger r I enrollment of experienced freshmen players, competition has become stronger every year. Last year Jean Harshaw beat Sarah Ellen Byrn, former tennis champion, by a score of 6-1, 6-1. Carolyn Helms, although eliminated last season by Jean Harshaw, promises keener opposition this year. The Tournament this coming spring will be an interesting, vigorously contested affair, as one the incentives toward winning this, besides the glory, is the one hundred points gained towards getting a maroon letter. In order to obtain this letter, one thousand points must have been earned in one year; and several girls are out this year to make their letter. ARCHERY EVERAL archery records were made and then broken soon afterwards this season. This practice stimulated keen interest and rivalry among those interested in the sport. Clare Wylie ' s record of 117 points went down under the keen shafts from Marian Brown ' s bow. Marian made one point more than the record. Soon afterwards, Miss Doris Bell set a record for the college of 131 points. About ten minutes later. Marian exceeded this, again with a single point lead. A new record in hits was made by both of them also, 24 out of 24. This is a perfect hit score at thirty yards. Margaret Sutton was a runner up, with 117 points. The final record, set by Marian Brown, is 146, which looks like a top-score for some years to come. The Spring Tournament opens in May, with a large list of girls signed up already; and, from all indications, this Tournament promises to be an exciting one. mm 143 ORE than three centuries ago, the Colonists of the newly-created American Palatinate found the fecund soil of the Eastern Shore a fertile purveyor of sun-ripened fruits and grains. As the New World grew into America, the ban- quet boards of the great Eastern Shore man- ors became increasingly famous for their burdens of sweet hominy, crumblingly corn- breads, firm Maryland biscuits, peaches laid in exquisite brandy, vintages from vineyards glowingly warmly in the Autumn sun — scores, indeed, of excellent foods. Huge plantations like Wye in Talbot County, first named Hir Dir Lloyd, supported complex self-sufficient communities on their thousands of acres. Noble Wye House stands today surrounded by live thousand fertile acres, and dozens of buildings in which the agricultural products are prepared for market. From the rolling, clay hills of the northern Shore to the flat, sandy swamp soil of the southern counties, the Eastern Shore pre- sents rare versatility for growing things.

Two picked teams repre- senting the Hall-Fraternity League and the Class League are due to match their prowess this afternoon. The gym is packed, folks, and thousands have been turned away from the doors. Just a moment, here ' s Coach Kibler — he ' ll say a few words to the fans. . . . I say, it looks like a good match, I say, a good match, certain. Thank you. Coach, and now for a line-up of the two teams. You understand the boys have been picked from the various inter-mural teams, and the winner of this classic is to go to Navy where they will challenge the boxing team there — good luck, bo)te! Here ' s the line-up: HALL-FRATERNITY TEAM Cream Puff Dwyer Guard Fossy Jaw Goldstein ._ - Guard Bean Bag Doering -Center Blimp Weinroth — - ....Forward One Shot Gillis.....

The teams line up on the floor ... a hushed stillness falls over the great gym . ,. . a thousand people hold their breath. . . . The referee has misplaced the whistle, and so ten minutes are spent looking for it while the thousand people stop holding their breath. All ready now . . . the whistle blows. . . . Perry rushes in and gets the ball before the centers have a chance to tap it ... he sure can jump ... he passes to Baker, who dribbles furiously down the floor and kicks the ball out of bounds. The Hallites have the ball. Ref- eree Harry Russell gives them the ball on the half-way line, although the ball went out of Bounds under the basket. His theory is they can ' t dribble that far without losing the ball. The ball is caught by Peyser, who passes it to a friend of his sitting up in the balcony, who raises a rumpus when he finds he can ' t shoot the ball from there. Tignor gets the ball ... he holds it and swings wildly at every one who comes near ... he knocks down four of the opposing team, and two of his own team . . . then he runs down and shoots at the basket until he makes it. The referee calls it no goal . . . face guarding. Referee Ekaitis comes in for Referee Harry Russell. The ball is tossed up from the center ... a lively scrimmage follows. The class team gets the ball . . . they pass back and forth for some time. . . . Captain Abbot calls for time out. He complains to the referee that they can ' t get near the basket, as the opposing team keeps Weinroth under the basket. Weinroth is removed and the game goes on. Gillis gets the ball and dribbles erratically down the side lines, he walks on the mayor ' s foot . . . the mayor takes him over his knees and paddles him with his umbrella . . . great confusion results. . . . Finally the mayor is moved to another sear, and is quieted by being promised all the school ' s votes in the next election. The ball is tossed up from the center, Goldstein gets the ball. He dribbles to the basket and shoots a very beautiful back-hand, left-sided shot into the basket. George Ekaitis calls it no goal, as Goldie had dribbled the ball on his feet, instead of on the floor. Sadler comes in for Perry, he rushes around busily tripping every one on the other team, until he has the whole team flat on their hacks, all but Doering standing over in a corner, who suddenly falls over. Sadler is taken out of the game on a technical foul. Referee Kibler comes in for Referee Ekaitis. Weinroth comes in for two men. Another tap-off, and a terrible scrimmage follows. . . . Dwyer tries to lead an attack through center ... he makes three yards. Gardiner comes in for Gillis, he gets the ball. . . . Doering lifts him up to the basket and Gardiner drops the ball in. Score 2-0, favor Hallites. The referee in the excitement swallows the whistle, and is led off the floor whistling like a peanut stand. Barnhart comes in for Weinroth, who had been kept in to tire out the Class team by making them run around him. Ghandi iianally gets the ball ... he madly dribbles through Gardiner and Peyser, evades Tignor, side steps Abbot and shoots a wonderful over-the-head shot into the basket. . . . Oh, it was great!

(here Uncle Amber paused and cast a ruminative eye upward as he chewed on his cut plug.) Yes, yes, go on, I urged, as I hung on h is words (no mean feat in itself) . Wal, I reckon I ' d better start by telling you ' bout my brother Jim. He headed West in the old pioneer days, and we gave the pore chap up for lost, ' specially after we hadn ' t heard from him for well nigh onto twenty years. One day we gets a letter from him stating jest what he ' s been doin ' . He said he headed for the Rockies and boarded in a moun- tain lion cave for quite a spell. He et the lions live with him as they kept him warm in the winter, ' sides that kept the bears away. Not that Jim was ascared of bears, but he says they were so bowlegged they took up all the room. Yep, he only went to town wnen a landslide was gom ' his way. Jim was pretty tough, but it sorta ran in the family. Our grandmother kept forgetting her ' specs ' , till she got tired of it and had them riveted onto her nose. Jim moved out to a town on the coast where they weren ' t exactzly gentle in their ways. He writes and says the folks had to keep muzzles on their canaries. They couldn ' t keep rabbit dogs! the rabbits would team up and beat the dogs to death. By the way, Jim owned that famous buffalo gun I reckon you heard tell of. It had such a long range it was the talk of the West. Jim had to use hollow bullets filled with salt so a? to preserve the carcass till he could walk that distance. Yessir, it was some firearm. The sheriff there got so tired chasin ' gamblers out of town, that the gamblers would beat him back. The townspeople would break up log jams by pitching pennies into the jam, and letting the kids scramble for them. I forgot to mention that Jim went West in a covered wagon and his family came to visit us later in a patrol wagon. 156 Jim ' s reputation spread all over the country, and I guess some of it was due to that old grandfather ' s clock he owned ... Tell me about the clock, Uncle Amber , I eagerly expostulated (he would have told me if I had kept my mouth shut, but I wouldn ' t have had a chance to U5,e that word ex- postulated ) . Well, sir. that clock was so old that the shadow of the pendulum had plum ' worn a hole through the back of the case. I can remember some of the details of a letter I got from Jim when he was workin ' on a tramp steamer out on the Indian Ocean, some time later. He was complaining about the heat, if I remember kerect. Jim says it was so hot that the crew dassn ' t wear straw hats, for fear they would bust into flames. They tried to hose the decks down to make it a little cooler, but it didn ' t work; they could only get live steam from the nozzle of the hose. The cook had an easy time of it, he would slap pancake batter on the plates, and by the time the crew could scramble into their places, the cakes would be done nice. He had a hard time writing to me, the ink keot evaporating, and all the lead melted out of the pencils. ' Cording to Jim, the pore flying fish were hard hit, by the time they would plunge back into the water they would be charred to a frizzle. He says some of the crew got sunstruck so hard it broke their arches, but that sounds to me like my brother Jim was dee-viating a little from the ways of Truth. Now, I haven ' t done much travelin ' , mvself, but mebbe you ' d like to hear ' bout a ride I took once ' t on a slow train? I sure would, Uncle Amber, I said, as I tried to pull my arm from his kindly grasp. Wal, that W£is the slowest train I ever saw. It was named the ' Bullet ' , but it didn ' t exactzly go at lightnin ' speed. It stopped at every house, and when it came to a double house it stopped twice. The stations were so close together that when the train stopped at one. they had to back up to whistle for the next. They made so many stops I said, ' Conductor, what have we stopped for this time? ' He says, ' There are some cattle on the track. ' Wal, we went a ways further and istopped again, so I asked what was the matter this time. He says, ' We have caught up to those darn cattle again. ' A lady says, ' Conductor, can ' t this train make any better time than this? Then he says, ' If you don ' t like it, get out and walk. ' She says, ' I would, only my folks didn ' t expect me there till the train gets there. ' At the end of the line, I got the worst meal I ' ve ever eaten. The steak was so tough I couldn ' t stick my knife in the gravy. That was in Ch . . . Say, son, are you awake? Yefe, yes, go on, sir, I said, and that ' s the last thing I remember of his story. R, S. 157 158 GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT W E would hesitate to criticize the food served over the cafeteria counter, as we are a firm beUever in that old axiom which warns one against biting the hand that feeds you, even though this may be simply a desire to obtain a trifle more nour- ishment than usual. However, our scruples do not extend to the coffee urn, or to that beverage known as cafeteria coffee. Students more fa- miliar with the drink call it by a more descriptive name, but this coffee by any other name would taste the same. The following facts have been re- ported to us, and carefully verified. The coffee is an excellent varnish re- mover, as the condition of the tables in the dining hall can testify. Here is a new field for research opened be- fore our very eyes. However, a word of warning to investigators — care must be taken in the handling of this nectar as it has been known to ex- plode upon jarring. A well-known chemistry student, Mr. McCronah, reports he has been using this fluid as a cleansing agent up in the laboratory, and that it will dissolve the most insoluble concretions. Chemists, by the way, would do well to study our Java as the long-sought Universal Solvent. It would be a fruitful investigation for the cold eye of Science to be directed upon those murky depths, maybe a new element may be lurking in the dregs of the cup (one of the characteristics of this element would be a very peculiar taste) . Yesterday, after we had stirred our coffee for some time, when we removed the spoon from the fluid we found only the handle remaining. Such facts not only speak for them- selves, they cry out loud in indignation. If such a state of affairs continue, we suggest that upon graduation the student he handed not only a diploma, but also a certificate testifying to his intestinal fortitude, and have his name enrolled as one who has suffered for the cause of Education. 159 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR SEPTEMBER— Annual Freshman Week begins, 95 in Freshman Class.

Sir Malcolm Campbell ' s only rival, regarding a speedy round of B:ll Smkh Hall, one day not so long ago.) I STARTED in dis mornin ' up on de top flo ' doin ' my work (which you all knows is little better dan slavery), and, although I moves almost like greczed lightnin ' , I couldn ' t help but notice certin doins, both wit my eyes an ' years. Well I was glidin ' around up at de south end of de third flo ' , when I so ' rta peeped into de Chemistry Lavatory and what did 1 sees but Brothas Dudly, Kight, an ' a coupla other chamists foolin ' around an ' experimentin ' wid Esters. Dis mite soun foolish to sum peeple, an ' also make dese gents ' gals jellus, but ' caus I knowed a slight smatterin of organlike chemistry I knowed what it was all about. Contmuin ' northwards up de hall, I peeped into Dr. Buxton ' s office where I seen a queer site. Some gentlemun was hangm ' over de Doctor ' s desk stickin ' a chrysanthemum in de Doctor ' s buttonhole, and, as he drew hisself back, withdrew two oranges an ' three apples an ' laid dem in a neat pile on de desk. Ar fust, I couldn ' t quite make out who it was, but I soon seen dat i was dat guy who wears glasses, slicks his har back flat to his haid, and orchestry. I can ' t recollect dis versatill gentman ' s name, but I gess he the or sumpn I didn ' t see much more of intrist until I got up to the Bi here a mmit an ' tell you how close I feels to this here Biology Lav. I lisse lexrures, and also watches de boys an ' gals bisect trout, frogs, an ' flounde Mr. ShauU was always funny to watch in de lav., but today he sho wa some kind of a shark when all of a sudden de darn thing slipped off Shaull cum back though with a double-Nelson combined wid a fin-hold It down on its back, an ' slit it down de middle wid his scalper. Dat r de time Massa Goldstein, when in an absenminded mood, got de Biology La place, and, while in de mist of bisectin ' a rabbit, durn near ate its intestines for spaghetti. I likes dat Biology room, even its B. O. Well, after peepin ' in de quantimplative Chamistry Lav. at de north end of de hall and seein ' Mr. Price hurryin ' up with his work so he can go down to play wid Miss Susie. I preceded on my laborsome way down to de second flo ' . I cast my eyes over int Dr. Howell ' s room to find Mr. Chambers tellin ' de Doctor how to bring de country out of de repression and how he will soon be on Roosevelt ' s brane trust, or sumpn. Mr. Chambers in his and my opinion IS verry intellexual and will soon be connexed wid de administration. I couldn ' t pass by de do ' to de balcony widout stickin ' my hade in to see if dere was any paper on de flo ' or dust on de books dat lays in dere. I doant often look at de couples in dere when I ' ze up stairs cause dey functions much better when observed from behind de curtain on de platfarm downstairs. Today, as usual, I sees nothing of interest in de eddication room, as de glare reflcxed from Dr. Livinggood ' s bald head is so strong cTat all objects in dis room are obscrewered. Dere ' s always annuder room I visits in dis neighborhood, but as it IS entirely a matter of bizness, I need not mention sites seen therein. Down in Dene Jones ' rithmetic room dere seemed to be vacancy, but as I reproached closer, I seen de Dene wid my fren ' Miss Barkley sitten ' together on de front row workin ' on some problem relatid to de eternal triangle. — (TIME OUT FER LUNCH)— Aftah dinnah I started in outside Dr. Doles histry room on de mam flo ' and lissened here for a short time. De Doctor seemed to be talkin ' ' bout Queen Anne of Englun ' . He began de speech by sayin ' dat Queen Anne was not as activ as Queen Lizbeth, and soon follered up dis sratement wid de werds ' she Lad sixteen chillun. ' WeH, jedge fer yeself, jedge fer yeself. I am ' bout to turn iway when I beared a big laff, when Dr. Dole menshuned sumthin ' bout beaver hats. I didn ' r catch de joke, but maybe I ain ' t heered dat one yit.

Mr. Kilby, Miss Carter; Mr. McDorman, Miss Crankshank; Mr. Lord, Miss Grainger; Mr. Young an ' Miss Pyle all seem to be involved in dis intristin ' an ' remotional pastime. Mr. Roads is also present in dis room of ill flame, where he seems to rejoy some fancy maneuvers wid little Miss Lynch. Ugh, how I hates dat gal ' s las ' name. Well, Mr. Peggisus, ' cept fer sum strange an ' skandlous intriggs seen in de balcony and other srecluded spots, from several of my secret vintage points, I b ' leeve Lze told ye ' bout all I seed today of intrist to de general pubhk.

And the old pastor smiled as his head beat time. And the sisters screamed and they clutched their hair. And they shouted and stamped as if the devil were there, And they had beaten him down into the primeval mud, And the blows fell on him with a low, deep thud. And the deep basses swelled like the roar of the ocean. And the choir boys laughed as their robes swung in motion, And the women ' s clear voices soared high in the air. As the light from the window ' s played in the sheen of their hair. And all thru the music ran a pounding, joyful cadence . . . And the sleeping sexton ' woke, with his face full of radiance, And he danced on the cement of the basement floor And the dance he danced was old a thousand years before. And he chanted as he danced to his heathern gods And the steam dials watching kept time with their nods. And in the furnace ' s glare he paced and whirled As the flickering flames ' about the coals curled. And the music as it came to him from above Was purged of its piety and robbed of its love And on he whirled in his dance in the basement room, And shapes in the shadows watched as they swayed to the tune. And in the church above they felt a breath of fear As if huge wings in passing had slowly soared by near, And some of the brothers swore they could feel a breath Blown gently on their faces that was cold and damp as Death And the music died down into a low drawn mutter And some sound they heard that made the whole church shudder. And they all sat still as if turned to stone And a small child sobbed, and they heard a groan, And it seemed to come to them from under their feet And the whole black mob rushed out into the street. And then a few brave men slowly went inside. With their faces showing a fear that they couldn ' t hide And lying with his face towards the furnace ' s glare The sexton was gazing with an unseeing stare. And they thought they heard in the shadows of the room A chuckle that resounded and echoed in the gloom. And they claim that still when the church sings above And the music comes down purged of its piety and love That the sexton still dances in the basement room. And shapes in the shadows watch as they sway to the tune. — R. S. 164 OUR OLD ALUMNI WILLIAM PEA-SHOOTER RAFFETY Class of ' 93. Dice team, 3, 4. Daisy chain, 2-4, anchor man 4.
