Ross S. MCGOWN. The managing editor-yes, this is he, A kindly and brisk-looking chap, Wlio always resembles the hard working bee, Since he ever has business on tap. He's tall and he's jolly and. light-hearted, too, As Southerners generally are, And in giving orations so ,strong and so true McCown is reckoned a star. H ELEN AMANDA MELVILLE. How dear to her heart is the college, Westiiiiiister, NVhich fair Helen Melville has come to attend. Her gaiety, graces and charms she brought with her From Braddock, 'tis said, where her life she did spend I Before she did come to be one of our number, To work and rejoice with us, till the glad end. JANIES CASPER NEGLEY. Ever since he cut Prof. Hewie's hair too short Neg has lost his Hclragl' with the Faculty. How- ever, he is still as popular as ever with the fellows. Although short in stature, no chicken roost's too high for Jim. He's great on Iui Jitsu, having thrown nearly the whole class of 'OT in the flag rush, LUCILE G. NEVIN. ln New VVilmington, Pennsylvania, For at present this town's her abode, Lucile's seeking a co-education, And she's far along VV'isdon1's rough road. Tis needless to speak of her learning, She knows everything mortals know, And doubtless in climbing Farne's ladder She will leave us all far below. THOMAS RoscoE PATTERSON. Our Thomas, known only as T. R., is entirely free from bad habits. He shows great skill in de bating, in a very few minutes, arguing a question from seventeen standpoints. T.

GEORGE ANTHONY LEw1s. This young man whom I write about is- a noted character. He has great literary ability, which is now being utilized in his work as Editor-in-Chief of the Holcad. Lewis is one of the Inter-Society contest essayists. AULEY lx'ICAULEY. This innocent looking fellow is Young Auley. He has been with us for some years, but has kept so very quiet that there is little to say about him. Although he is a very brilliant fellow, he has never been seriously troubled with the swelled head. It may be said of him, VVhat sweet delight a quiet life affords. JAMES HOWARD MCBANE. Mac, surnamed Sal, is one of those quiet fellows of whose worth people hear very little until it is de- mionstrated to them, perhaps, by Junior Oration. We are all very proud Of Sal, and we regret to confess his one uncontrolable habit, that we leave you to in- fer from his fine qsan. A MARY MYRTLE TWCCALMONT, Mary Myrtle. McCalmon,t in the year '01 Came tO Westiiiinster, not only for fun But to gain knowledge in every way- In science, art, in night school, too, they say. The gentlemen, she liked to entertain At socials, banquets, as occasion came, Yet she still pursued her studies with care, And of college honors receives her share. ADAM RCTURDOCK MCCLURG. Adam is not the man of whom we read in the Bible, for his ribs have often been counted in the gym, and they're all there. Adam is an expert smoker, an old-timer at hill climbing and an authority on anything that ever happens in the professional world. 31

CHARL1zs LARIMER PEAIRS. , Like all great men, Charles hails from the rural districts. He is distinguished for his love of study and staying' qualities. He is a zealous worker, and, though fitted for any calling, he is at heart a Jacobite and will preach. GLENN MCKILLIPS PIERCE. In 1903 Glenn quietly drifted into our midst. He is noted for a love of sleep and a profound dis- like for anything in the form of hard work. He in- tends graduating with us, and afterward to study medicine. Davin IRXVIN Rose. The Rose of '06 is not strictly an American Beauty, but a wild rose taken from the fields of Cono- quenessing to add its fragrance to our class. Rose is great on the spiel, and a great track man. His best time was made one night when handicapped with four heavy chickens. XMILLIAM ROTZLER. Rotzler joined our class in the fall of 1904. just in time for the line up for Junior orations. He has no bad habits except his love of sweet cider. He has been known to walk six miles for one drink ta gal- lonj. He is decidedly studious, and has been seldom known to- flunk, . EDGAR Reese SAMPSON. Sammie was born somewhere in the coun- try-where, is not dennitely known. Although small, his marks in class show up big enough. His chief delight is in bothering or playing tricks on- some one. Sammie is far-famed for his heroic de- fense of a turkey. 33
