our friends and patrons we extend our most
hearty greeting.
In reviewing the past year
of our labor in piloting this "Rat-Tat", our
first literary effort, through the dangerous waters of editorial turmoil and avoiding the rocks of discouragement
and overconfidence, we may f~el justly proud of our achievement.
In presenting this book to our readers, we have tried
to touch, as far as possible, some responsive chord in each
one, although we can perceive the futility of trying to please
all.
To those who are dissatisfied and prone to criticise
harshly, we extend our most heart-felt sympathies.
We
have published this book, not for criticism but because we
deemed it a method by which we could show our love
and loyalty to our beloved St. John's.

�BYRON VERNON CECIL
During hi s entire career as a n underg raduate he was active and
prominent in all branches o f Coll ege 1i fe, and was th en, as now, a
i
true exemplar o f that "St. John's Sp· r-it" which is th e proud heritage o f hi s Alm a
Mater today , and which he has done so much to stimulate during hi s year s o f
clominancy o f athletics and other underg rad uate activiti es.
Cadet Cecil played on th e famo us St. J ohn 's foo tball team o f '89 , which
defeated the Navy three tim es, one defeat being by th e score of 26 to 6, said to
be the g reatest victory of St. J ohn's over the Navy on r ecord. He was also a
member of the baseball , tenni s, and track team s, and for many yea r ~ held the
reco rd for th e 100-yard da ~ h ; besides which he wa s a promin ent membe r o f th e
Mandolin and Glee Clubs.
He was g raduated in Jun e, r89o, with th e degree o f Bachelo r o f Sc ience, and
in r89r accepted the position o f V ice-P resident and Commandant at the Vance
Coll egiate l nstitute at Seven Spring s, North Carolin a. In the following year he
was elected Commandant and In structor of Science and German at Dr. Gibson· s
Schoo l at A rsC'ning -on-the-H udson, New Yo rk . In 1893 h e went to De nv er ,
Co lorado, <S In structo r in Science and Mathematics at J arvis Hall M ilitary
Academy; and while there he wa s confirmed by Bishop Spaulding of Colorado,
of th e Protestant Episcopal Church, who became hi s warm personal fri end. In
1894-95 he w<15 a g rad uate stud ent o f Chemi stry, P hysics a nd M ineralogy at
th e J o hn s Hopk in s U niversity, Baltim ore, upon th e completion o f which course,
in r896, he wa s elected to the chair o f Chemi stry and P hysics at St. Jo hn 's College, and then began hi s career as a member of the faculty of hi s A lm a Mater,
vvhi ch career has been one of achi evement and di stin cti on.
H e soo n :c.howed hi s capacity and fitn ess for thi s work, and by hi s fairn ess
and so un d judg ment and sympath etic interest in th e un derg raduates became th eir
stanch friend, and g uid e as well as their p recepto r. I n all th e interco urse betw een
St. J ohn" s a nd oth er co ll eges, and especially in ath leti cs, th e students have alway s
confidently reli ed on hi m a. th eir leader, and St . Jo hn 's man y diplomatic triumph ·
j n th ese matters are la rgely clu e to hi s co urageo us stand for hi s p rin ciples an d
to hi s sagacity.

H is reco rd as a member o f the fac ulty has been one o f material achievement s.
Fo r in sta nce, he ha s expand ed th e chemi cal labo ra tory a nd introdu ced a chemica l
co urse th at ranks among th e very best in South ern coll eges: besides which he
ha s e s t a bh ~ h e d a phy sical labo rato ry co urse, th e fir st in th e hi story o f the Coll ege.
As a result of hi s lead er shi p and coaching the athl eti c team. o f St. J ohn ·,
Coll ege have a ttained a remarkable record and have been co mplim ented by such
authoriti es as th e "OUTIN G'' Magazin e fo r th e hi g h idea ls th ey hav e maintain ed as vvell a s for the uccess ful results gain ed in all coll egiate athl eti cs. The
inaug uration o f th e movement for th e build ing o f th e magnifi cent n ew gy mna sium
is very la rg·e ly due to hi s indefatigable efforts, and he is entitl ed to alm ost entire
credit for th e eq uipm ent o f thi s building. Nor have hi s activiti es in behalf of
the Coll ege cea sed with th e closing o f each coll egiate year, for during th e Slllllmer month s, a s Chairm a n o f the A lumni Committee to advance th e interest o f
the Co ll eg·e , he has worked un cea sin g ly to perfect th e modern canva ss ing m ethods
for desirabl e students, as a result o f whi ch effo rts th e enrollm ent o f stud ents has
a lm o~ t doubled within th e past three yea rs.
In 18()7 th e degree o f Ma ster o f Arts was conferred upon him by hi s A lm a
:\later, a 11 d in T
909 he wa s award ed the still furth er di stincti on of th e deg ree o f
Doctor of Sc iet;ce.
In 1897 he ma rri ed M iss Ada Cecil. o f Montgomery Co unty , a nd th ey have
fi ve attractive yo ung chil dren, four boys and one g irl , and resid e upon th e Co ll ege
Cam pu s, adjoinin g th e residen.ce o f Dr. Thomas Fell , th e P resid ent o f th e Coll ege.

I N D read ers, you may have g ath ered fro m vari o us and di ve rse
ources the g lori ous hi story and the memo rable ri se and fall o f
R ome; yet your education would be far from compl ete if you
have not a kno wledge o f the noble class o f 19 1 2 o f St . John 's
College- a class which has built itself upon so firm a foundation th at it will last until every member has peri shed, and then
our memory shall go clo wn to posterity.
O n a balmy clay in September, 1908, there as emblecl from the four corners o f th e g lobe, nam ely, New Y ork, Florida, Washing ton State and Ea stport, the yo uth s to whom belongs the honor o f being the class of 19 1 2. Wh en
all the future classmates had arrived it was fo und that they were forty-two
in number . At fir st we were received very hospitably, but on Friday nig ht
we were treated to the g reatest ( ?) event o f our live . On that occasion we
were g iven th e warm est reception mortal at any tim e before or since received.
It seemed as if all to rtures ever invented were practiced upon us, but after it
wa s all over we were still on our feet . Thi s ability to stand on our feet under
all circum stances is one o f our g reat characteri stics. A fter that Friday nig htala s ! who o f us can ever fo rget it-the Sophomores ag reed to aboli sh hazing
on condition that we obey certain rul es. W e obeyed them only too willing·ly,
and were, therefore, never molested. Our men th en settled clo wn to work, both
in athl etic and academic lin es. Althoug h we did not accompli . h much in ath leti cs, only one man getting on th e football team, yet several o f our number won
positions on the . econcl team. Vve are the main stay o f the track team o f the
college, for in thi s department Gail ey, R yde r and Broadrup are o f superb
ability. In base ball al so we suppli ed a few players. Crew was th e varsity
catcher and Michaelson is substitute. In our academic wo rk during the F resh ·
man year we establi shed th e standard o f hig h scho la sti c attainm ent, for which
we a re noted. A fter th e encampment, Jun e week, and the commencement excrci es were over we return ed home, much wiser han when we arrived an d
with num erous resolutions o f wh at we would do th e fo llowing September.
Th e fall o f 1 909 found us r eturning to our clear old coll ege. and each feeling th e g rave responsibility o f a Sophomore. A ll o f our men did not return ,
but th eir places were fill ed by th e new men, Mill er, Chri stian , L entz and
Staley. O f course we appr eciated our pos iti ons after th e tri als o f th e year
before. No o ne th ere was to say "Go clow n town and get me a piece o f pi e,''

�and it was tri ed in every way to make th em fee l a t home in their new . urrounclings. It is in thi s and ;;;imilar ways that the Y. ~I. C. A. can exert o ne

The Young Men's Christian Association
Th e number o f active member s thi . yea r wa s small er than usual , but we
sincerely hope that a s the yea rs go by th e assoc ia tion will in crease and more
widely extend it s helpful influ ence a nd accompli . h more and mo re for good
here at old St. J ol111 's.
N th e Youn g ·M e n 's Chri s tian Assoc iati o n we ha Ye an o rgani zati on w hi ch is one of th e most important in the life of th e colle ge man of t oday . O ur association is a branch of th e Int e rnati onal Yo un g Men's Chri stian Association. The creed of
thi s w01·ld-wide o rga ni zatio n is well exp ressed in th e followin g, whi ch is kn ow n as th e Pa ri s Basis : "Th e Young ~f e n 's
Chri stian Association seeks to unite yo ung men, who, regarding J esu Chri st
as th eir God and Saviour, according to the Holy Scriptures, desire to be Hi s
di scipl es in their doctrine and in th eir life, and to associate th eir efforts for the
extension o f His kingdom among yo un g men .. , Thi s was adopted in 1855 and
reaffirm ed in 1907.
The members o f our association are everywhere recognized , and one of our
member ship card s entitl es th e holder to all privil eges in eve ry association in the
co untry. The Inter- State and International Committees, throug h their secretari es, render mu ch practical aiel to our o rgani zation in carrying on its w01·k
here in coll ege. This year delegates representin rr our association attended the
state conventio n, held at J ohn s Hopkins U niver sity, where th ey had th e adva.ntage of hearing many problems relative to the associatio n work, eli cussed by
experi enced and able speaker s.
Throughout the entire year meetings were held as far as possibl e every

'vVe opened our sea w n again st the heavy ~avy E leven.
!tho ug h our team
wa s composed mostly o f new materi al. we surpri eel th e follower · o f the game
by holding the heavy veteran s to a low ·core.
T he N avy was forced to ki ck freq uently in th e fir st qua rter and were not
ab le to :;core in that period . our lin e holding th em tim e after time much to our
surpri se, as we were outweig hed about twenty po un ds to th e man. Afte r a few
minutes o f play in th e second qua rter th e Navy pull ed off a forwa rd pa ss which
broug ht th em to our fiv e-yard line, and , by a series o f line plunges, Navy carri ed
the ball ove1· for a touchdown. The fir st half ended Navy, 6; St. Jo hn 's, o.
In thr second ha lf we cam e back with th e same g rit and determin ation th at
we had in the fir st half, but the heat, combin ed with th e weig ht of the Navy lad s,
forced us to g ive them two more touchdowns. T hey failed to kick goal in both
cases. Dalton was a to wer o f strength for the Navy, while Melville played a
star game fo r St. J ohn' s.
St. J ohn 's, o ; Gettysburg,
2.
In th e . econd game o f the season we were de feated by the strong Gettysburg aggregation. It was a hard game fo r our boys to lose, as we played better
ball than the Gettysburg lad s. Gettysburg won th e g am e in th e second half .
Ruhl received a punt and to uched the ball to th e g roun d, suppo sing it to be a
108
touchback. Th e referee, however , decided that the ball wa s ove r o ur lin e a m!
call ed it a safety , thi s bein g the only score o f the game. O n the defence o ur
team was nJUch stronger and g ua rded the goa l well when it was in dange r .
lt looked like a St. John 's day wh en Clark intercepted a forward pass in the
center of the fi eld and carri ed the ball to Gettysburg 's fiv e-yard lin e. Lack o f
effecti ve team work and Gettysburg 's strong defence kept us from coring. T here
was a co n ~ id e rab l e amount o f roug h playing throug hout the game, ~eve r a l of o ur
playe rs being injured.

The sco re of thi s gam e does not show th e kin d o f footba ll o ur team played .
'vVe have to c.-m sicler th e tryin g po ition in whi ch our team was placed by the
absence of Captain J ohn son and th e poor phy sical condition o f some o f o ur best
players. Aithoug h the scor·e wa somewhat di scouragin rr to the follo wers o f the
Orange a nd Black, still the team did th eir very be st and that is all that we can
a k o f them.
Fo r th e first few minutes of play it looked as tho ug h it was anybody' s g ame.
but afte r a se ries o f line plunges V irg inia succeeded in carrying th e ball over fo r
the fir st touchdown. The final score of the fir st half was V irg inia, I7 ; St.
J ohn 's, o.
In i:he third qua rter St. J ohn 's took a brace and gave the V iro·ini a ns a scare
as we ca rri ed the ball to their fifteen-yard lin e several times only to lose it on
clowns o r by a fumbl e. ~e ith er . ide was able to score in thi s quarter. both sides
playing g reat ball. O ur team weakened in the final period a nd the V irg inia ns
scored two mo re touchdowns. The final score: V irg ini a, 29 ; St. J ohn ·s, o.

In th e third quarter we succeeded in getting the ball on th eir six-ya rd lin e
twi ce but were not ah le to carry th e ball over th eir lin e. 'vVe easil y o utclassed

O ur de fe. t was clu e to loose playin g and th e lack of experi ence. P layin g
1
o n stran ge gro und s was also a drawback to th e team , and th e game wo uld
probably have been very close had we been playing on th e ho me ground s. Captain
J ohn son went into the game at th e begin ning o f the second half fo r th e fir st tim e
since he wa s injured in th e N av y game. J ohm:o n, C. L., a nd Melvill e were the
stars fo r St. Jo hn' s, both playing a strong g am e, Melvill e being a tower o f
: trengt h 1Jrhind th e lin e, whi le J ohn son broke up many o f the V. M. I. play s.
Th e g am e wa s interesting and abo und ed with snappy pl ay in g from th e fir st

T he team started on its Southern trip o n M arch 24th, very much weaken ed
by its contest with the N avy.
The first g ame o f the trip was with th e U niversity o f \ ·irg inia. In thi s
game Wi lson J. pitched and proved to be the V irginian 's undoing. Stevens
al!'o di sting uished him self. Score: U . o f V ., 2; S. J. C., 6.
\ i\1 ashin gton and L ee cancelled o ur game fo r the 25th, so th e team visited

the fir st tim e in several year s. Score : V. M. I., s; S. J. C., 2.
O n the 28th the team was pitted again st R oanoke College. We do no t

always stood firml y fo r true sportsman ship. We were defeated in thi s g ame

�Coronation of King Dorsey
(M ay r st, 1910.)
There was an old ma n nam ed Dorsey,
\ Vho once feel us beef that was ho rsey :
Though omew hat a dreamer,

Thank God! l i e's a trump, i Dorsey .
A fter which introductory ditty, it now behooves me. as sa ith th e proph et. to

Deef to the left of us.
11eef all around us,
\ ·o il eyed and thundered :
To matoe. that had no fea rs.
Eggs that were old in years.
Ham that brought us to tears.
Sadly we wond ered.
Out of th e da rkn es then
Came thi s g r at King of men
Hack to real hash aga in ,

Prunes a nd much g inge r-bread;
A ll honor to our g reat head.
Long may he feed u. !
'Tis not often that in th e li fe of one of uch tende r yea1 such a pri~·l'fege

And may we a ll live long to cha nt yo ur prai ses.

�The J un1or Alphabet
The ]une Ball 1910
T he J un e Ball. the g rea test o f social eve nts held at St. J ohn 's, took place last
yea r on the 14th of J un e while t he batta li on was suppo sed to be campi ng on t he
r ear camp us, bu t was, as a matter o f fact, living in th e dorm itori es because of
the incl ement 1
\'eather. T he rai n, however, had no effect on t he ball. whi ch wa s
probably t he most dazzling fun ction eve r held in th e new gymna . ium. T he
track and the ceiling o f t he gymnasium were pro fu sely decorated with Ameri can
Rags a nd bun ting, among which ma ny colored elect ric lig hts sparkled. At t he
lower end of t he hall was a large electr ical display with th e legend , " Farewell ,
' r r to ' ro," wh ich com:tantly rem inded the dancers o f t he se riousne . of the occas ion to t he !.traduating class.
T he fl oor was somew hat overcrowded. but t hi s did not det ract from t he
gayety o f t he dancers. T hey enjoyed themselves to their hear t' s content. T he
ca rds were very pretty, and were made o f leather o f a light browni sh tin t, ornamented by se veral pictures and th e pin o f 19 1 I. It wo uld be a difficult task fo r
a nyo ne except a ladies ' ta ilo r to describe the exq ui site beauty of the gow ns. T he
co ll ege cadets. in their f ull-d ress regali a and white ducks, prese nted a .most
st riking appea rance, a nd added m uch to t he effect of the scene. T he mu sic was
deli o-htfu l, being rend ered by an o rche.'tra consistin g of tw elve pieces.
T he oall began with a pro menade, which extended a round the entire gymna. iu m and lasted f r several min utes. J ust at t he concl usion o f this prom enade
th e retiring l\Jajor, H . C. Ru hl , presented h i. swo rd to L. C. 1\a iley. the maj or

Reminiscences of the Fourth Floor

I passed my work with perfect ease,
I did not have to strive
My marks in everything I took
Were never less than five;
I ceased
to study any more
I went out every night,
And life was every day to me
A vision of d e light.
Life had become a blissful dream,
It was too good to stay,
And with returning wakefulness
That vision Red away.
I rubbed my eyes-my Math still there,
And sad ly then I knew
My joyful thoughts were
but a dream,
That they could ne'er come true.
Sometimes I lean back from my work,
My mind takes fancy Right:
I live again that happy dream
And naught is but delight.
Then with a start I sadly smile,
And strange to me it seems,
Why do they not sometimes come true,
Those foolish; happy dreams?

In the fall o f 1909 a motley crowd of specimens of the human race took up
their abode on the fo urth floor of P inkn ey Hall , St . J ohn 's College, A nnapolis.
Th ey were all Marylanders-that is, they claimed to be resident o f some place
within th e bo rders of the state. From the deserts of th e Eastern S ho' hailed our
futur- leaders; from the wi ld s o f th e we tern part of the state there were a few
e
poor examples of mountaineers: from th e big city a few cunning urchin s strayed
in , and the r est of the number was composed o f, the devil only knows what. It
is important at the o utset to realize that th ese different elements exi ted and to
keep them in mind thru the course of the future development. The one point that
tended to unite the separate units o f thi s cong lomeration was that each indi vid ual
professed to have come here in the ardent pursuit of know ledge. Thi s fact is of
special sig nificance, as it furni shed a bond which held the variou s members tog·ether, so that later a union wa s more read ily accompli shed.
The fir st impressions gained of these yo uth s wa s that they were a studiou s,
hard wo rking and qui et bunch. The guardian , the illu strious R. K . Adams, set
them a bc:llltifu l exampl e in this direction and offset to a ·ce rtain degree the
influence which the social activities of Pat Dougherty at the other end o f the hall
threatened to exert. Perhaps the earli est conspicuou fi g ure on th e fl oor was
littl e Daduy Haye , who slept all day in order that he might keep a wake after
taps. He was not an earnest in stigator of di so rder but delighted in having nocturnal confabs with R. K. about keepin g an open door policy. · He seemed to
be a harml ess creature, yet to him is due th e credit o f being at least a faint
suggestio n of a fourth floor society for the promotion of mi schief.
For a time the g reat element tending to disunion , namely, hazing, threatened to prevent amalgamation. The close ties existing between all Eastern
Shore men soon smoothed thi s diffi culty over, and the harmoni ous strain s issuing
from room 36. wh ere the Eastern and We stern S hore, in the persons of Dryden
and MeN utt, respectively, seemed to live in perfect peace, soon caused friend ship to spring up between all factions. M usic, with its soothing and calming
effect, thus paved the way for union. The fir st steps were taken by Riggin,
\Voodcock, Williams and Catlin . They form ed a so rt of eating-after-taps club,
which soon g rew in member s and popularity. One Sunday afternoon a permanent fourth-floor society was created. Each charter member o f the union-in

Of the renowned sipper of tea.

But it came to pass,
For he is on 0 . D .

Upon the campus he must s tay

Dissatisfied and sad;

Nor pleasure can recall,
For Sunday duty in th e Spring

Yet they loved her still,
And do what you wi ll ,
They wou ld 'nt leave her a lone .
