day for Students-Omcers for the |
New York Alumni Association.
A casual visitor to the Yale campus is
apt to be impressed at the manner in
which the fellows students find out if a
student-fellow is in his room. He stroIls
up to the building in which his friend is
located, and then stands outside under
his window and yells for him as loud as
his lungs will permit. It may be inter
esting to note few of the men whose
names are most often and most loudly
called. suppose one hears the yell ooh,
Starr Childs, as much as any. This yell
indicates that some one is suffering to talk
with the chairman of the "News" board.
It has companion yell Of less violence.
and that is ooh, Nobby Wright" with the
accent on the "Oh." Another favorite re-
mork is ooh, Ned Hale" in tone of re-
proach, showing that a few moments
speech is desired with the genial manager
Of the Glee club. This too, has it's COM
panion song of ooh, 10 Rhodes" a tele

eleven. Bert Lees name is also taken in
vain with an alarming frequency. Lee
is chairman of the Gilt" board, and is in
great demand.
Jack Bunce and Ned Isham are two more
seniors who seem to have a great amount
of custom. There are two yells which any
academic man of good and regular or even
| irregular standing for at least two years
| will recognize without difficulty. One is
-
| which walls out in the tones of the pewee,
"Oh, Bob Pomeroy," and its mate is the
thrilling cry ooh, Ash Green"
| To touch upon few more men whose
| fame is spread abroad with startling regu-
larity. There is triumvirate from '92 in
Lyceum composed of Peter Jay, Stan Nor
ison and "Stump' Franklin, who receive
their callers at all hours.
| Willie Runyon, Hugh Bayne and Billy
Wright are three more men who are called
up continually. They are from the jnnior
class, too. From 1913 Murphy and Beebe
seem to be in the most demand, but it is
only during the day that they seem to be OF
use, for after supper they admit none:
4 few more sophomores seem to be OF
some prominence, but only few. The
freshmen have not yet acquired sufficient
foot hold on the campus to institute any
such method of serenading. So any shock
to the nerves arising from sound which
appears at sight to be a cross between q
SIRENS blood curdling yell and a whistle Of
locomotive on the Consolidated road can
not be laid to their charge. During the
