slowly and stately up the aisle was th e: figure of the ma n who alway s declared that

::\I y mind s now turn s in a diffe rent cha nn el, as the sputter of an a utom?bil e
reaches my ears, and looking before me I see th e home stretch of the International

abo ut to turn from the scene when far in th e rea r, I saw a littl e speck slowly a nd
surely in c reas ing in volume.

.H e re th e scene shift s again , a nd thi s tim e to a lonely cottage on th e outskirts
of an A nn e A rundel County villarre. ::\I y heart goes out to thi young ma n o f our
class, "B ill " tromeyer , who has foll owed the path whe re so ma ny others have
t rodden, a nd played the "Old Fashi oned Beau '' a ll hi s life in hi s o wn home town,
surro un ded by beautifu l women with rosy li ps a nd d imp led cheeks, in eve ry dimple
lurking a dozen o r mo re cupid s, with co ral li ps a nd pea rl y teeth, a nd spa rklin a
eye. and ye t he ha shoved them all aside a nd remained content with hi s own
sad lot.
A huge cloud enveloped thi path etic picture a nd linge red fo r a wh il e be fore
it slow ly lif ted a nd revea led th e p leasing outlines of a large country home. The
ve ry atmosph ere breathed comf ort and contentment a ndl was no littl e sur pri sed to
..see th e p icture of my somewhat backwa rd classmate, Th ornton Mackenz ie, who
im med iately upon hi s g rad uation had la un ched upon a matrim oni al · ad venture,
that woul d make the poetic M il es Standi sh blu sh with sham e so far as domest ic
happin ess is co nce rned. A glance through th e g round surround ing thi s pretenti ons home showed a number of youn rrs te rs po rting ga il y about th e spacious
la wn s. T hi s some what altered thought fro m Whittier fl ashed ac ross my m ind:
"He marri ed hi s queen at twenty- fo ur.
nd ma ny children pla yed 'roun d hi s doo r."
Now the vi sion g ro ws dim and slowly ass um e·s a noth er form. We see a la rge,
magnifi cently deco rated room, in wh ich are many tabl es and a round whi ch a re
g reat numbers of men, in ve ry tense positi ons. I recogni ze i\Ionte Ca rl o.
Directing my a ttenti on to the la rgest tabl e in the room, I find great exc itemen t
prevailing. A figure is pointed out to me as a fa mous inte rnati onal lawye r. I
watched the man as h e won time a ft er time. Hi s judgement seemed a lmost
supe rhuman . S uddenly h e lifted hi s face from the board s, a nd I rec:oani zecl
" Loui e" l\I il es, the man who had achi eved o much in the oratori cal li ne "'at St.
J ohn 's. He was as popular among hi s present associates as he had been in da vs
gone by. Seeing me. he dropped out of th e game and came over to sha ke my ha n-d .
I went with him to cash in hi s winnings, whi ch had been so la r ae that he had
to see the head o f the gigantic house to settle up . As we app ro~ch ed the promote r, a ce rtain qu iet a ir of ma jesty im pressed me, a nd when he poke in that well

Suddenl y the scene is replaced by a n out-doo r scene. We a re in Lond on. at
the O lympi c game . E ight runn ers a re crouched ten sely, awaiting the sta rte r's

soon became ev i.dent that he could not win, but neve rtheless he put up hi usual

O ut o f the chaos of th e .g row ing mi st came the fo rm s of tall buildings. electrl c
li ghts a nd all those things whi ch go to make u p a street scene at theatre time. I
recogni zed a t my right the Gayety Theatre of Baltimo re. E nte ri ng, whi ch was
acco mpli shed onl y by a strenuous effo rt, owing to the la rge crowd in attendan ce.
I p rocured my seat . Gla ncing over the prog ra m I found , at the bottom, thi s
in sc ription: ''Hiram Franklin P lumme r, :M anager.'' Bein o- surp ri sed th at my old
roo m-mate was manager o f this inte rest ing playho use, I glanced at a magnificently
furni shed box in whi ch I spied him , in hi s glo ry, surrounded by a bevy of lady
friend s. still li ving up to hi s old trait s o f coll ege clays. paying diligent attenti on
to the fairer sex.
Thi s time the pict ure shows a schoolroom. Seated at the desks are abo ut
sixty children between the ages of six and eight yea rs. lt i the primary department . Their teacher seems to be in hi s p rope r sphere, for he is the same "Fred''
Bielaski , who acquitted him self with su ch brilliancy in the Class of N ineteen
Sixtee11. He had taught at Penn f or the yea r, but had been ousted, because th e
reactionary Boa rd of Governors at that place could not ag ree with hi s teaching ..
Again there is that peculiar happiness and I see a company of soldi e rs. I
hea r th e voice of Captain L orrain e D. Fields. who had ri sen very rapidly in the
army life, saying: " Hey there, you littl e, short f ell ow in th e third sq uad , dress
that gun , a nd suck up that excess lunch. What kind o f a n army do you think
you are in , a nyhow?'' My sympathy was extended to the little ma n bawled out
so unm ercifully, a nd coming nearer I recognized " Chauncey" St. Claire ~I cNe ill ,
who wa s the Ia t man to be initi a ted into the myste ri es of our class, a nd consequentl y, the g reenest.
Now the vision becomes one o f a huge dance hall. It is a class of in stru cti on
in the Terpsichorean A rt, a nd the very elite of New Yo rk's society held full
s way. The dancing maste r was a tall , slim , dreamy person , who I soon saw was
"Da 1·y'' Da viclson. He wa at the very top of hi s profession, and was explaining
a gigantic dancing ca rni val for the stage of the Hippodrome.
Now my f eeling cha nged to one of moti on, a nd I h ea rd and felt the chugchug of a Ford engine. I turn ed to my left, a nd to my utmost surpri se found
my elf seated alongside of "Dent'' Hunge rford, who has bee n ma nagin g a di stribu ting agen cy for thi s popula r ca r. As we round ed one of the busiest co rn e rs
we 1 re h alted by an appa rentl y lazy and so mewhat sleepy look ing tra ffi c cop.
re
who e fa ce was that of Cha rl es L. Hart sock. H is one qua li fication for the job
was hi s size. \fte r passing through the outskirts of thi s city, a nd driving for a
short wh il e over magnifi cent macadam road s, "Dent" stopped hi s lim ousine in
front of a magnifi centl y a rranaed co untry club. Many bachelors li ved he re. I
stra yed . upon "Tommy'' L igon. li ghtly hummin g the tun e '' Jimmy Got th e O ne I
\1\fan ted. '' In our conve rsa ti on '·Tommy' told me that ' 'Jimm y' ' Brashea rs had
been Ii,·ing at thi s d ub un ti l abo ut one month befo re,, when he had joined the
rank s o f th e bened icts. "Tommy'' was best man ( he had always told "Ji mmy's''
brid e thi s an yway, prev ious to the wedd ing).

CADET JOHN
SOMERVILLE
Class 1917
Born, O ctober 25, 1897.
Died, February 3, 1916.
In the death of Cadet John Somerville, the
Class of 1917 of St. John's College has had its bright
and sunny career marred by an untimely shadow of
sorrow. Gloom has taken the place of him whose
voice was ever merry.
His soldierly qualities, his ability as a studen t ,
his winsome manner and ever jocular mood has
endeared him to us as a class, to the student body,
and to the Faculty. We all deeply regret the
decease of one whom but to know was to love.

HE a rri val of the present Sophomore Class at St. J ohn:s College in
the earl y fall of 1914 marks the g reatest epoch in the hi story of our
journey so far . We arrived from all ove r thi s Easte rn section as
bees fl ying f or a new home, and soon were all comfortabl y hi ved
as one f a mil y.
O ur inmo st feelings, you m ay be sure, were far from jubilant,
but soon there was a Royal R ecepti on held in P inkn ey Hall for us,
which mad e us f,eel that we we re now a part of the College to which
we had co me, but with st rong emphasi that we were to be a ver y
subservient part of it.
A nother di stincti on of which we boast is that our Class was
th e first Freshma n Class in thi s in stituti on fo r yea rs, whi ch has not
had a very close acquaintance with th e ··Royal Pe rsuade r," but
finding from all uiticisms we conducted ourseh·es very well indeed.
In t racing the chronology of · events we certain ly mu st not
fo rget to menti on our representati on on the ath letic fie ld ; for
l\Iaddox. W. ]. , Holm es, Nathan and Sheppard g.ave the team th eir support. and
held places on the second team . Turner, F. G., sta rred on first team as fullback.
winnin g a p lace on A ll-Maryland team by virtue of shee r quality. Tucker showed
hi s superi ority on the diamond and was soon in th e mid st of the fi r st nine.
Vlil son, V\' igton a nd Mack made the second team, and look like good mate ri al for
next season.
Tn academic work we hold our place in the front ra nks, and a good numb er of
ou r Cia s a re doing excell ent work. L. Hall seems to be always in the lead and
make the highest ave rage in College.
In the ea rly fall o f 1915 we again returned to our dear A lma l\fater w ith
but Ye ry few of our number mi ssing a nd were ve'ry glad again to renew our old
relati onships. Th e obj ects which in te rested \1 S most, howeve1·, were the diffe rent
specim en o f new fe ll ows whi ch met our eyes. The re were eve ry va ri ety, from
the extreme un sophi sticated country fell ow, to the world ly wi se city chap; tht:
fo rme r walked a bout gazi ng at all things with deep wonder and astonishment,
whil e th e la tter strutted about as if he were all in all.
Ve ry, ve ry soon we formed a cl oser acquaintance with the '·fre shi es,'' a nd
as a resu lt every one notes a deci,d ed change in their conduct a nd bearing. Vve
we re ve ry glad to ship some new men on our Sophomo re ship, so with due
ce remony Cook, Q uevedo, Matth e'ws, Mencke, Holde n. Smith , F., B road rup.
\ Vhi te, Magruder, Winslow, De .Y ri es, J ones, Watson, Costas. Ma rx, Lowman
a nd B rad ley we re taken in our Class.
So me of the membe rs of ou1· Class stil l continu e to di stinguish them selves in
athl etics. Turn e r again was a Va1·sity ma n. while Maddox, W. ]. , Magrud e r.
Cook and Holden made some o f the Varsity trips. Cook espec ia lly. looks good for
next yea r, a nd he and Turner are showing up ve ry wel l in ba ket ball.
Academi c wo rk is comi ng on again very well , indeed, and we hope to keel
up our reputation in thi s bran ch of coll ege lif e a long as we co ntinu e here.

(!llu.a.a ]l{tstory--(!lont.
Every man has great hopes and aspirations for hi s clea r A lma Mate r. a nd '~e
all are striving to do everything in our power to uph old he r goo~ name,_ to ~vm
o-reater and g reater honors for her, so tha t she may stand f~rth 111 the limelight

\·ogue but- - well . one evening when the Sophomo re gathe red a ll the Fre shm en in
a room and made us face the wall, we d id not fe I as co m fo rtable as we wo ul d
ha \·e in a S unday Schoo l. Howe \·e r, we accepted their ad vice and have profited
much hy it.
In th e meantim e th e class was o rgani zed. Whi le th e men elected to the
va riou s offices have bee n in office onl y a sho rt t im e. they have a lready pro\·ec\ their
abd1t y. and we a re sure that they could not be bettered .
T he Chri stmas holid ay were now app roaching, driving a ll thought s of st udy
f ron: o ur head . yve counted th e clay s impatientl y before the holid ays began.
a nd 1t was w1th a ll ght hea rt that we fi na ll y left Co ll ege on the twe nty-second o f
Decembe r for our hom es . \ Ve ca me back' a fte r the holidavs reluctant of course
to leave h m e, but glad to see our classmates again , a nd ;-eady fo r 'ha rd worl~
p repa rato ry to the m id-year e::>ta min ation .
In a ll Coll ege acti viti es the Freshman Class has taken its pa rt. In academ ic
wo rk it has clone especia ll y well. A large percentage of the Class has been on
the hono r ro ll e \·e ry month. In athl eti c th e Class ha s a l. o been well r presented.
\~' hil e no one made the Va rsity football team, Sm ith , l\letzger, Turner and others
cl 1 excell ent wo rk on the second team.

So wh ile we have been students at St. John' s for o nl y a short time, the Co ll ege
already mea ns mu ch to u s, and we are sure it will continue to urow in our affection
the longe r we a re associated with it.

a
whole,
the
football
season of 1915 was very
unsuccessful.
The team won
only two games and lost six.
She was defeated by three of
the most important colleges of
the State which put us out of
the race for the state champion-
I
ship.
The losing of the games cannot be laid upon the shoulder
of Coach W1lson because he
did every thing in his power
to put together a winning combination.
There was plenty of
material but it seems to everybody that there were hard feelings among some of the players and they
would not play together, so this can be given as the cause of the poor
showing during the season.
We were
greatly handi-
capped by Andrew's being
hurt in the M . A
and being unable
C. game
to
play
the rest of the season ; likewise there were a great many
more players out of the most
important games on account
of injuries.

old-fash ioned lin e bu ckin g. This; coup led with the long and tiresome t rip which

On October 30, St. John 's met defeat at the hand s of he r old ri val, M . A. C.,
26 to 14. Los ing thi s game to the Aggies elimin ated St. John's from th e State
championship con test. It was not the loss of the game, but the lack of ··Old St.
John 's" spirit among the members of the team that hurt. T he team was in ve ry
good cond iti on when th ey entered this game, an d th e whole student body was supporting the team with their utmost powe r. l\1. A. C. seemed to have pu lled a
trick on St. John 's by bringing into the game two unknown men, who we re eas il y
the cause of th e defeat of St. J ohn' s. B ut th ese two men should not ha ve brought
defeat upon us if the team had played the kind of game that they were capabl e of
p laying. In the first quarter there was no scoring clone, but in the second :~vi. A. C.
was able to score a touchdow n by Shank's beautiful run . I n the third qua rte r
St. J ohn' s s·co recl her fi rst touchdown. due to l\1. A. C.'s fumbling th e ba ll , which
was caught up and ca rri ed 70 ya rds for a touchdown by Bielaski. St. J ohn' s was
not able to stay in the lead, because l\1. A. C. soon made a nothe r touchdown 1
)\'
hitting St. John 's lin e. In the last quarter. M.A. C. sco red two mo re touchdown s,
one being made from the ki ck-off by Shank. St. John 's was able to sco re on ly
one mor·e touchdown , whi ch was carried ove r by Cook.
Had it not been for the sterling wo rk of Selby, the whole team would han
been a di smal failure in the eyes of the public.

For th e seco nd time in the hi story of St. J ohn 's d id she go clown to defeat by
the \ Vashington College football team on the 13th of November. Never bdo re
has a team rep resenting St. J ohn 's go ne clown to defeat with out fighting to the
last, but this tim e there was lac k of fight among the fellows on the team and
there was lack of team wo rk , but it was not the faul t of our coach, becau se he is
con side red one of the best in the State. St. J ohn 's won the to ss and chose to
def end the goal with the wind at her back. Vvashin gto n College ki cked off; the
ball was received by Darley, who ran it back 15 yards. St. J ohn 's tried several
attacks at the line, but was un successf ul , and Stromeyer was fo rced to ki ck.
Then Washington College began a ma rch towa rd St. John 's goal by th e use of
forward passes. Enright came through right tackle fo r l.J yard s and a to uchclown. St. John 's retaliated by sco ring a touchdown in three minutes after the
k ick off, and this, by th e way, was the onl y time fight was shown by St . J ohn' s.
\i\Tashington Coll ege came back st rong in the second qua rte r a nd scored t wo more
touchdown s by the forward passes from Enright to Frampton.
At the beginning of the third quarte r St. John' s seemed to take a new lease
of figh ting sp irit, but onl y to falter at the most criti cal tim e. A t thi s point Brown
fe ll back a nd put ove r a b : autiful drop kick from the 48-yardline for ~Was hin gton
Co ll ege. \i\Tashin gton College was able to score only in the las t pe ri od through
the ab ility of B ro wn's kicking a nothe r field goal. Alexande r and Dryden we re the
bright sta rs of St. J ohn 's, whil e F ram pton and E nri ght excell ed for vVashington
Col lege.
In the seco nd quarte r neither team was ab le to sco re. St. John' s had a good
chance to sco re ano th e r touchdown. but the hard luck whi ch has followed th e
team t he ·whole season caused uBull;. Turner to fumble the ball about live va rds
from Hopki ns' goal. S t. John's was not abl e to score in the last half, bL{t she
was in the gam e: all the time iightin g. I-:T opkin s was able tb score two more to uchclowns in the last half by the good work of .1-:l off man and B rooks.
Alth ough we lost the Ilopkin s game, the show ing made by both the team a nd
student body wa s no mean one. The old St. J ohn's spirit was there that da y in a ll
it s glory.

game, a nd they went in it with a determination to reve nge the d t·feat of last yea r.

the resul t of thi s being the loss of th e game. By long end run s P. ~J. C. was able

Un der ideal weather conditi ons, St. John 's met h e r old ri val, Johns 1-:Topkins,
on the 20th of November, a nd was defeated 20-6. Thi s vvas one of the best
games that the tEam p layed th e whole season, because t hey were in the game
Jighting f or everything that they were worth. The whole team deserves much
cred it for the show ing that they made again st the heavy team of the Black and
B lue. The team went in the game with a long string of di sheartening reverses
behind them a nd comparative sco res pointing to an ove rwhelmin g defeat. O ur
boys lined up with g rim determination written on eve ry face and we re eage r to
show the old fighting spirit, whi ch kept the roote rs .guessing all the tim e. In th e
backfield, Jarman proved to be a star in th e quarterback pos iti on. Too much
credit cannot be given thi s boy on account of hi s coolness and good judgment in
runn ing the team. It looked as if h e were th e who le backfield in the fi rst half .
St romeye•- a nd A lexander also did splendid work in the backfi eld. \ iVhenever
they were call ed upon by their quarterback to carry the ball th ey were a lway s
sure of 10 to l .J yards. \,Yhile on the line, Selby a nd Dryden we re the shining
sta rs. O ften Selby would break through th e Hopkins lin e a nd na il one of the
bac kfi eld men before he would get started with the ball.
Captain .Heise won the toss and Hopkins kicked off. T hen th e ball was fir st
punted from one end of the field to the othe r·, until H offman, of H opkin s, was able
to sco re a touchdown by seve ral line plunges a nd penalti es whi ch we re inflicted
upon St. John 's for off sid e. Finall y, St. John's made a start for th eir opponents'

BASEBALL SCENES
�IHankrt IHall 19lfi
J1E basket ball ~easo n of
1916 was the most su ccessful one the team has
enj oyed sin ce 19 12. The team
lost the first game to Catholi c
U nive rsity, but after that showed
wonde rfu l team work a nd was
not beaten except by Navy.
'vVe had four of last year' s
team back, J a rm an and Heise,
fo rwards; A ndrew and Selby,
guards. Dun phy, the 19 15 ce n~
ter, was lost, but hi s place was
ab ly fiiled by Cla ude. The forwards p layed a sta r game and
th e gua rds were among the best
in the S tate.
Du e to unfortunate circumstances, we were not abl e to play
either 'vVashington College or
CAPTAIN AND MANAGER BASKET-BALL
l\!It. St. Ma ry's. But in compa rati ve scores we appea r better than vVashington College, whom P. M. C. def eated
dec isively, whil e we ou tclassed the latter team. :M t. St. Joseph 's was defeated in
both games, and thi s team in turn d efeated both vVashington Co llege and Loyola .
There fore, :VIt. St. Mary's was the on ly dangerou s co nte nde r, a nd it was not
through a ny , f ault of ours that the game with them wa s cance ll ed. After all is
said, we feel sure that, since no really undi sputed cla im can be made f or the State
title, St. Joh n's has the best right to it as matte rs now stan d.
Too much credit cann ot be given Coach \Nil son for hi s untiring efforts to
turn ou t a good team. The men a lso were faithf ul and dese rve the high est prai se.
The lon g layoff, during the time th e Co llege was closed, evidently was bene11cia l because the team came back and did not lose a game.
'l'he team was a bl y captained by A ndrew, who p layed right gua rd, the other
pos iti ons bein g filled as fo llows : Jarm a n, ri ght forward ; :Heise, left fo rward ;
Cla ude, center; Selby, left .guard. T he sub stitutes we re Cook, W eaver and
vVatson.

HE track team began its practice before Ch ri st mas, unde r Captain Fi elds.
with quite a few new candidates . The real hard, grilling work, however,
clid not begin until after the holidays. when Captain Fi elds put hi s charges
through stiff, snappy clashes and cross-country run s. Ow ing to our enforced
vacation, on account of sca rlet fever at th e College, the team cou ld not panicipate
in either the Geo rge Washington meet or the Fifth Regiment Armory-Johns
H opkin s meet, but came back st rong in the Georgetown m ee t at vVashington, on
the fourth of .i\llarch. In this meet Captain Fields, A. :H. No ble and E lzey entered
the .'iO-yard open dash, and although they did not win ·a place, Field s and Noble
made fa st time in their heats and won them. Holmes came fourth in the 440-yarcl
open run and fift h in the 880-yard run, with Burgess and Noble not far behind.
The out-of-door se• son is yet to open, but we have prospects of a fast and
a
experienced relay team, which is now fast working into p roper shape and, no
boubt, will run their oppo nents a game and snappy race .

UE to the effo rts of Professors Handy and Sturd y and the will ingness of
the students to co-operate with them, a new coll ege acti vity has been
brought into the lim e-li ght. na mely, a coll ege debating team. Effo rts were
taken along the same lin e last yea r, but due to some cause th e team ne ve r
became a reali ty.
On January 17, 19 16, what is now pro udl y and ju stly hai led as St. John 's
Debating Team, met and defeated, we a re glad to say, tho ugh with no mali ce
toward our guests in question , The Debating Team of De laware Co ll ege. Acco rding to th e judges. if it had not been for the '·sticktoit iveness" with whi ch the
oppon ents hand led th e sticky substan ce, chewing gum, we woul d probably have
had more trouble in hemm ing them in . Be that as it may, our team is now a live,
tangib le thing, and, its phase of work, will t ry, as our other teams do, to bea r
up old St. John 's a nd p lace her in a conspicuous positio n amo ng her siste r co ll ege·s.
Lastly, we hope that the celeb rated St. John" s spiri t and spo rtsman ship wi ll
cha racterize ou r efforts along these lin es as along othe rs and that victo ry , if n eeds
be, will be a seco ndary consid eration to them.

rounded out in to a well organi zed body. Th e membership includ es half of

\;V e cannot tell what caused it,
B u t the Sophs had got th e blues,
A t last upon a plan they li t,
To nab the Freshies' shoes.
Soon each had learned the sec ret,
· A nd the pa rt that he wo uld take;
A ll were delig hted to be of ser vice,
A nd a little fun to make.
Silence reig ned at last all ri ght,
11\lhen each had gone to bed ;
The Freshi es dreamed of home so bright,
The Sophs, of shoes in stead.
Stealthy f orm s crept out that night,
From a lm ost every door;
O ne by one th ey formed a g roup,
Of twenty Sophs, or more.
A leader rose of unknown na me,
The raid ers on ly hope;
B un chi ng· them on every side,
T hu s vali ent ly, he spo ke :
"0 wo r thy Sophs, ye men of iron,
To th e F reshmen's room s go ye;
Sneak out thei r shoes a nd pitche rs too,
A nd thEn to the old Aag tree.
Spare not a one, fo r all mu st come,
A nd leave not yours in sight ;
\!\fake not the weary f rom their sleep,
A nd th e rest wi ll be all right. "

And when he spoke, th e· party broke,
A nd sil ent as a mole,
Each shoe and slipper, soc k and pitcher,
H untecl the old flag pole.
Singly, in pairs and group s of three,
The shoes began their climb,
Each weary , yet fearing too,
Lest it be left behind.
A las, 'ti s sad to write it hereNo less the fact is trueThe boys whose voice th e Pro f. had heard,
vVe re caused to carry a shoe,
To cl ass, to meals. and even down town,
vVhereve r th ey chose to go,
The shoe, bespeaking bad condu ct,
vVere ever compell ed to show.
\ N ith g igg ling voices and s il ent step,
They started for their roo m,
Not know in g w hat for th em was left,
Nor thinking of th eir doom.
Th e Prof. who on that day was sick,
That ni g[lt was far from dead ;
Va.g uely thinking he hea rd a row,
Got up from off hi s bed.
Detective like, he p laced him self ,
U p in a co rn e r clark ;
From th ere h e'd watch hi s prey come on,
A nd th en on him, emba rk.
The boys ca me on and on too fa st,
A nd sc urrying 'round that co rner,
B umped into him an d mad e a fu ss,
A nd spil t the sly refo rm er.
A t thi s th ey snigge red and laughed aloud,
And thu s di sclosed the ir voice.
