 Of your fussers. Scarcely day passes
 when he may not be seen departing in a
 dress suit for strange, outlandish parts
 of town, out towards Savin Rock or | Westvllle, where he claims he is going to
 dine with swell friends.
 But if I stopped to speak of all your
 social lights there would be time for nothing else. What could be said of
 Reece, the magnificent, with his impe- rial, don't monkey with-a- buZz-saW

 met her by remarking that she looked

 to his principles, threw away the gun, dashed down the mountain side and never stopped till he brought up in a mud ditch at the bottom.
 I have mentioned Sher c. before ' wish to do so again and, joking aside, to congratulate you on having him among your number, and with him Gordon B., who gave rise to the express sion a brown study because of his high
 stand--6 feet inches. Speaking of ath | letes, Frank Mcdonnell Camp R. is be- ing sued by the Princeton baseball man. agement for assist and battery. The faculty were after him also for taking over cuts in mathematics but excused them when they found he had spent the | time plotting curves and raised his stand to 3.90 He says that when out of training his favorite drink is beer, but | at present he confines himself to an oc- l caslonal high-ball.
 1 Biologists tell us that East Rock once extended as far as Elm street, ending in a large bluff, but when the "Kid' struck town at the beginning of your freshman year it found itself so com- pletely outclassed that it retired in dis gust to its present position Kid soon proved his superiority in his chosen line of bluff1ng in the mathematical course when he earned the title of the light ming calculator because he never struck twice in the same place. Shortly after, Dud B. appeared with his unique Fla! Ha! and when the sound subsided it left Henry Mac stranded on Savin Rock. where he may still be seen any Satur- day evening, admission fifteen cents. And after the uproar voice said, Let there be peace,' and the intense still ness which followed, broken only at in tervals by guttural sounds from the strings of some banjo or the faint voices of the glee club practising on The Bells of Yale" in preparation for Christmas fussing trip, the unearthly quiet an nounced the arrival of Lewis F. John Duttcn B., who has the misfortune to live between Kent Hall and the grave yard, next appeared on the campus with that peculiar rag-time step which is so eccentric that he can walk straight only when he gets gait on.
 I am pressed for time, as the watch said when the man put his thumb on the stem, and can only mention Leon, president of the criminal club and cura- tor of the lurid mysteries of kerosene tight-night, when the Kid dashed in front 'of an electric car to escape the cops because at the worst it was only a choice of being run in or run over, and finally took refuge in an ash barrel. I can only mention Weary Will, who be- lieves in the principle of conservation of energy and has the courage of his con- vctions, and Mussel Rot, who will not listen to the still small voice but goes on roaring semi-annual games, and Gus and Art Y, who were charged with theft for taking a professors picture.
 To such of you as can remain, I am asked to announce that immediately a the close of this speech Pop will give one of his well known exhibitions of Champagne and Song Paul G. The ad- mittance is one cent and the show will | be well worth it, Paul ran away from home last summer and went out west, where he got job on the staff of a local | newspaper. News was scarce but Paul | hadn't read the Journal for nothing, and | set about to stir things up. A couple | of cigars were enough to persuade the | gate keeper at the railroad crossing that 1! he had seen a chorus girl go by on the | train and in the evening Paul handed | the editor a tWo-column scoop on cer- | tain soubrette who had passed through | the town, referring to the gatekeeper for | The editor was delighted | and so was Paul, who continued to sup | ply the paper with news from original | sources until the whole town was thor oughy walked up But when he had the | two leading ministers In a duel and four deacons in shirt tail parade the ndig- nation of the church members induced | the editor to make more careful inves- tigation, and Paul departed to pick cu- cumbers for the rest of the summer.
 If there are any gentlemen whose names I have omitted perhaps Warren H. can help them to find them. At least I know that he handed in log to the News once stating that "All men whose names were printed in yesterdays News can get them by calling at Bat son's."
 Gentlemen of 1901 of the customs that have grown up about the fence there is none that gives finer expression to the true, underlying strength and earnest ness of our fellowship at Yale than that which bids us, when we have had our fest and laugh at one another, pause for 3 moment of seriousness to consider the real significance of this spot. Here our class as have previous classes, will find
