Director Has Secured
209 Jobs During First
Two Months of Year

The manager of the Student En-
ployment Bureau Of st. Johns Col
lege at Annapolis announces the
busiest quarter experienced SO far
in the history of the bureau.
The management has secured 20a
jobs during the first two months of
the current year of operation. The
Student Employment Bureau, now
in its second consecutive year Of
operation under the management
of Albert H. Jaeggin, a senior at st.
Johns College, Is a strictly student
operated organization designed to
secure part time employment for the
students Of the college.
The bureau is equipped with an
electric sign which indicates the
location of the Office in the Stone
House to Annapolitans and tourists.
A handbell, similar to those used
by the town criers in Colonial New
England, is rung on the campus
whenever job is open that must
be filled Immediately. The ringing
of this bell brings all of the available
student members of the bureau on
the run to the office, in way which
suggests the old time bucket brigade
fire-fighters who came running to
the scene of the fire at the first
toll of the fire bell.
The employment bureau, through
the local Chamber of Commerce,
various hotels and its own clientele
provides experienced guides for tour
lists, who visit Colonial Annapolis
and the Naval Academy in large
numbers every year. During the
fall and spring this kind of work
is the best source of income for

Ford's Theater that tragic night OF
April 13, 1865, when President Lin
coin was mortally wounded by an
assassin's bullet.
1t is Mrs. ByrneS' impression that
her first appearance as child solo,
ist was in the capacity of an organist
for Christian Church congregations.
Subsequently she studied under
many of Washington's famous musi-
clans. Among them was Mamie
Simons, who became the wife of
Ernest Lent, and the mother of
Sylvia Lent. Another was Anton
Gloetzner, pupil of Won Buelow.
The Congregational Church at
Tenth and G streets NV, was then
the mecca of the finest music in
Washington" Mrs. Byrnes recalls,
with all of the great artsist OF the
era appearing in concert there. We
who were students of music in the
Capital City were content to occupy
standing room" space in the rear of
the first floor. I never expect to
have such proud moment in my
life as did when I was selected by
Frank Doubleday, a notable patron
of Washington music and musicians,
to be one of small group sent to
hear the Metropolitan Opera in New
York City,"
PLAYED in Orchestra.
To Lotta Mills and herself came
the distinction, too of playing in
/ the Georgetown Amateur Orchestra
which met in Linthicum Hall and
| had for its conductors such out
standing musicians as Josef Kasper,
Paul Miersch and Herman Rake
man.
The following winter she and
Lotta Mills went abroad to study
music in Germany
Upon her return to America, she
and her flance, Eugene Byrnes, were
married.
Her husband established the
patent firm of Byrnes, Townsend
and Brickenstein. Their clients in
cluded inventors who afterwards
made world history in several fields.
| At a meeting of the American
Chemical Society in London, Mr.. and
Mrs. Byrnes were the guests of
Sir William Ramsay, whom they in
turn had the pleasure Of entertain
ing at 1898 r street, their historic
Georgetown home, when he came
| to America.
Mrs. Byrnes is the aunt of George
Stier Goodwin, author of Jonathan
Swift, Giant in Chains" the most
recent biography of Dean Swift.
Mr.. Goodwin's small daughter,
Patricia Barry Goodwin, aged 3
highighted the interview for us by
insisting that allie and me play
our duet together" This they did
with a dash and fervor which would
! indicate Mrs. Byrnes has by no
means lost her skill at the piano
and that her great niece bids fair
to follow in her musical footsteps.
