time thought seriously of going into the

had not the 1udge postponed bne tflaL. As
I see him here, for Jacks sake I will say
nothing more about him. Turning from
the brazsn faced to q mild and gentle
boy, I come to Bobby Stoeckel This
Young man is paps's pride and mann
mas 10y, No wonder he is of such q
quiet nein when We think of the harmony
he has had instilled Into him from infancy.
His pater has for years hammered musie
at him every evening, and we have felt the
effects at chapel in the morning. No
mother was ever fonder of her boy than
his. A classmate of his was invited to
spend a few days with him last summer,
but he left tho second morning, and whyi |
Not because he heard hymns practioed all |
night. No, he could stand that, but after
they had got nicely to sleep some one came |
in and tucked the clothes around them,
mas boy is Frederic Merwin Lloyd of |
New Haven. Alas, his mother holds no |
longer his undivided affection. Twas in |
freshman year Freddy felt the first |
itching of the heart which he couldn't |
scratch, and thought he had never seen 1t |
before he found that he was susceptible to |
the cravings of ambition. His first suc-
cess, and his last, was getting on the Newa,
and he was the News emblem in three diff
no need, gentlemen, of putting Mr.. Lloyd
up. Ali New Haven and Savin Rock know
him, and heard one young lady inquire
just moment ago: "Who is that dark
haired man running back and forth. Is
he In charge of the class day arrange
ments9" No, he is not. He is the Ward
McAllister of our class, and he is simply
making himself popular.
A class song to the air of "America" was
1 then sung.
John 81. Morgan WAS the second histori-
an on the list. Morgan is classed as quite
a wit by his fellows, and so anticipation
was sharpened for what he had to say.
| Among other things he saids
Among my prizs collection of freaks
which I am to serve up to you this after
noon have fat men like Maffit and ami
mated slate pencils like Billy Osborn, the
man with the iron jaw, Judson, and the
| wsgging jaw, Zszs Hill. It took me long
time to decide which man should select
for the honor of first place, and after care
full confederation I have chosen Henry
Barnes, for what figure is more inspiring
than his as he puffs across the campus
with breathless speed, glowing with ami
nation and the fire of restless energy in
his eye. He has worn himself to shadow
in his e1extions playing "nigger baby"
and in his efforts to convert the heathen
street Arab. Barnes Is the original "Brer
Rabbit of Uncle Remus, and like him he
has during his course here lsyed his ears
close to his head and said nothing, but he
has done more in quiet way to promote
religion in '93 than any man in the class,
and cannot do bsttsr in closing on his
name than to ask the question:
| Why is Barnes like ivory soap. Because
he is 80 per cent. pure. What the 1 per
cent of wickedness is have never been
able to find out, but 1t must be on account
L Of he
find in the o. D. P. ledger in Dwight's
hail that he Is credited with having used
81 'goshes," chang it's" and 10 "darns''
during his college course.
Ny next Victim is man of a different
stamp, yet no less excellent In his line
old Pop Bliss. Will some one kindly lift
him up 80 that all can see his venerable
bald heads Old Round has worn ell the
hair of the top of his head butting the
stomscbs of the opposing rush lines. To
{ descend to the level of pun Pop Is more
celebrated for his PUSHES on the football
field than for his PUSHES in the class room.
, In this connection will tell the story OF
! Pop and Professor Wheeler. It seems
that in English history one day tina profes.
> sor called him up and sid, "now Mr.
| | Bliss, if you were loyal subject Of
) Charles I, which side would you
; have taken, Cromwel's or the kingsr,
then very slowly answered, neither,
. | guess I would have gone t. the Cont
nent." Pop says that he was sent to col
i lege te.get to the bottom Of things, an6
: that his relatives were grouchy t-sause b,
made the fourth division. Pop says h'
2 wishes the tutor who marked him Low
: would 60 to the bottom of things, only h
? | Doesn't express It in just that way. H.
gives the locality with a greater degrees O
exactness.
Before leave Old Stud, must speak o
his ''silent partner" Pop Is so fond O
him that he is hardly ever seen out of hi
eight. He handles him carefully ant
treats him IKE brother, and I am evel
told that he spends all his spare money Oh
his silent partner, ticking him to Hsublein'
to supper.
Charles Ewing is at the worlds fair tax
If; care of the Yele exhibit there, and
will only say of him that the night bafor
q he left he called on a young lady here Will
IS whom he Is in love, and at parting said
80, Miss Rosebud How can I leave you
You know I 60 to the worlds fair in tn
J. morning" "But, MI. Ewing" replied tn
fair maid, "you have not told me, do yo1
j. 60 as visitor or as part of the exhibits"
r After the singing of another class con-
to the air of 'Lauriger Horatius," Arthu
j. Leslie Wheeler reg his history, interrupt
TO- ed by frequent applause and ms nifeststion
). | of jubilant feeling by his classmates Hi
hits and krinds seemed to be warmly ap
: preoiated, and his touches of fancy ant
', quiet humor stamped his production as on
of much merit. Among other things b

We do not know much about Candee
Cspps or Runk save that Runk has tn
his religion by trying to smoke a loaded
cigar, and Candea will bs pursued ate

But we are well acquainted with tina

even now ring in our ears, Lemuel AikeI

overworked, and when Professor William
warned him in geology, he found that hi
nerves were shattered and that thre

W more calmly, but blood flowing from tn
Msyhower and from colonial governor o

that We, less blue blooded mor.sls havs t

+ Among the musical freaks of the class
); Jepson stands forth prs-eminent. How b
q does fuss With that organ! At his mag

T. Speaking of hair-where Is Fayf Sine
Il we lost Mr. 'sLoonahan," this gentlemal
- has been the leading light of 1913. Creev,

? down during the evening, in order to pre-

Fay. He has ''got there" during hi
