your class reside there (the rest of the
worst element including the rest of the
class, and scandals frequently occur
Sometimes the air resounds with the
merry cries Of the match dancers, and
then again it is thick and murky, and
large folds of smoke drift down the vel
vet stairs. The prominent natives
meet at the entrance and think UP
childish games; and it is better so, be-
cause it keeps them out of mischief,
and otherwise they might hold up teams
and get horse-whipped the way Hump
II. and Freddie w. did.
Speaking of Freddie reminds me of
Keyes, his almost namesake. Keyes is
a good natured man, and a good Judge
of peas. One time, at a dinner he had
chance at some remarkably fine ones,
and had caught them all but one little
one, which he was trying to harpoon
with his fork. Signs Of interest on the
part of the others diners reminded him
that he was not alone, and looking up
cheerfully, he remarked, This seems
to be very elusive pea" 1t was up
at Emith, though, that he really showed
what he was made of-but let that
pass.
Keyes is Keyes, but Dick Won
Sweeps is Kaiser in his own native land.
Dick rivals Henry Heath in his ability
to make hats. Dick also is danger
Gus man with the ladies, but he is not
the only Georgia Porgie in your class;
there is Deacon Howard, for instance,
who is universally considered very
sweet pickle-and also Chitty and
Tubby B. Tubby fires salutes to the
red, white and blue every evening and
morning, but during the rest Of the day
devotes most of his attention to bru-
nettes, as a rule.
Witty Warren is the delight Of your
class from a humorous standpoint, and
can indulge in repartee with book
agents, even. 81 see new faces here
remarked one of those gentlemen, as
he opened the door and looked into the
room where Warren was sitting: Eyes,
we change them every year Warren
replied. Hope you draw better one
next time" said the agent, and the re-
ply is not stated. You may have heard
that story before, but if so, it is the
Records fault, not mine.
I wonder if it is commonly known
that Jack f., of baseball fame, tried
to enlist, and was not allowed to. "Sor-
ry," said the recruiting officer, "but the
regulations prohibit your wearing your
numerals to the front,"-so poor Jack
had to stay home.
BY the way, speaking of Jack, what
was the trouble with your baseball
team? 1t must have been a sort OF
hard-lucl1 story, because, after a care
full investigation, 1t was satisfactorily
proved that there were only two
chronic difficulties; when you were in
the field, you could not catch the ball
and when you were at the BAT, you
could not hit 1t.
In that same connection, various i'm
| polite things have been said by your
| class because Harvard beat 1901 ir
| football, last fall. I need only say
! gentlemen, that at that time three OF
| four of our men were busy defeating
| Princeton, and a fourth was on the side
| lines ready to do his share If it was
needed.
But l must not digress from my his
y
men. There Is Bill, Web-foot Bill
Pride of Texas, King of Commons
| Royal Tapster to the Nobility, Wieldel
of the Imperial Corkscrew, and Apollo
| of Savin Rocki 1t would not be righ
| to speak about anyone else in the same
| connection, after Bill
| One of the warmest things in you
| class Is the Wigwam. Formed with tn
laudable purpose of raising the wind, /
| is also an able exponent of the Raine
| law doctrine that no sandwiches can b
consumed without beer. The Wigwam
| ers talk and eat, and then talk an,
drink, and some of the Wigwarmest o
them make speeches about the best blu
blood of Louisiana, and other patriot
topics. But the scrub crews were pref
| ty good, too. 1t was hard luck tina
| Bill c. had to be coxswain, because tn
vocabulary of a Dwight hall man Is al
insufficient for such an occasion. TIL
prevailing opinion of the crowd, on tn
day of the regatta, was that most O
the races were no race, but this wa
| wrong, as a delicate astronomical in
strument placed beneath first bridg
demonstrated beyond dispute the di
rection In which the shells were NOV
ing.
Right here / should like to find out
point that 1901 has never positively set
tled-whether it was or was not Ret
cent Sidney d. who found so many de
fects in the administration of Vassal
and afterwards had reason to believ
himself the most prominent man i
Poughkeepsie.
But the time is passing and / hav
not yet even mentioned Nutty Steve, G
Hocky the Hustler or Little Twich, G
Lawrence Van and his haif-rater, c
Sloppy John and his knickerbocker
And then there is Joseph Ferdinan
William, who has also some MOI
names, all catalogued and ready fe
use in case he needs them, and Johnn
Dec, who makes his hat fast with
trunk strap, and is firm in his resolu
ton to wear it so till the day he die
But if there are others who feel the
they have been omitted they can dro
