Pennsylvania Railroad, and will be stationed at the B. & O. Depot at Washing- ton, D. C. Here any traveling member of his class, after the spring of 1905, may recognize his familiar voice as he calIs out in his deep basso: 'Express for Baltimore! Wilmington! Philadelphia! New York! All points North and West! All aboard! !' " This will just suit him, because he will have ample opportunity to air and exercise his lungs, and then what a boom he will be for the railroad, for there will be no danger of anyone in the depot not hearing him when he calls out the trains. "Tall, stately and graceful will be the recommendation which will secure for Mary Hobbs the position as director in the Gymnasium of the Woman's College in Baltimore. With her characteristic ease and grace she will instruct her classes and under her direction much progress will be made in this very important feature of higher education." Ah! I'm so glad that I have found out what Mary is doing. I have often wondered how she was spending her time. Mean thing! she never writes to me. I'm sure that she finds her work most congenial. I remember how she used to make us turn green with envy at the skillful manner in which she could handle clubs. However, we consoled ourselves that much of her progress was due to private lessons given by her room-mate. Mary always declared that she was going to marry a rich man. Oh, well! perhaps she will some day. "As, when at school, adversity and discouragement could not hinder the progress of this class, so out in the world will adverse circumstances only be step- ping stones on which its individual members will rise to fame. Though thwarted in his attempt to open a dancing school during his Senior Year, Hazelton A. Joyce will not be discouraged. He will again open a like school, only to fail as before. Foiled in this attempt to make a living he will decide to become a lawyer. But becoming disgusted with this he will finally settle down on a large farm in Illinois. In fact, on the largest farm in the State, as it will embrace five thousand acres of land. Besides this, he will possess seven hundred head of horses and ten thousand head of cattle and will constantly employ five hundred men. But even then he will not be happy, for nothing that he will ever have in Illinois will com- pare with what he has had in Cambridge." I am surprised at Scrappy not being successful as a lawyer, for he certainly had at least one of the qualities going to make a good lawyer. 66
