JACOB CASPER SHAMBURGER ....................................•• Parkton, Md. "PH live for love or die."-Anon. You may talk about your blushing maiden coy and sly, and her dimples chasing each other round the corners of her rosy lips as they part in bewitching demureness, and expose her pearly teeth, and "et cetera," but there is nothing in this world so charming, so entrancing. so fascinating, as to watch "Shammy" smile. Like the rising of the golden morning sun when it sheds its mellow beams in glad profusion o'er the earth, causing it to smile under its warmeth and gladness, just so over the face of "Shammy" steals the softening rays of Cupid's silvery wings, causing it to assume an expression of delight and rapture almost heavenly in its beauty. And then to see the sidelong guilty glace that he casts about him to see if he had been detected, and his great confusion when such is the case, is well worth watch- ing for. "Shammy" is a very sentimental chap and spends much time sitting in the dusky twilight playing his guitar and singing love ditties. Has a very bad habit of trying to speak foreign languages which is very annoying to his classmates. However when "Shammy" is not "up" he is a "hale fellow well met" and a [o=+al Senior lad. WILLIAM G. SIMPSON Westminster, Md. SIMP[Y; "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse."-Shaks. OURJOC~[y' So cries, our "Wl11ie" at the beginning of every term. And, moreover, in some myster- ious manner, that woeful cry of want is borne o'er hl11and vale until It reaches the sympathetic ears of "Hinds and Noble," and then "rnirabile dictu," in the kindness of their hearts, this worthy company sends by return mail the desired animal. Then Willie is in bliss the rest of the term, and poor unsuspecting "Uncle Jimmy" thinks what a good classical student that Mr. Simpson is. "Wil1ie" has a very poor memory (in certain things.) For example, he always forgets to attend one recitation a day and, in fact, has been known to absent himself from three out of four in one day. He is a town student and so not allowed the prrvfltges of parlor, but "faint heart ne'er won fair lady" is his motto, so he braves the anger of the august faculty every Saturday night in eluding the vigilance of the "Prof." on duty and entering the forbidden ground. Sometimes assists "Shammy" in giving his evening concerts, and, in fact, so fascinating were the sweet strains produced by them that they tempted one of the faculty over one night to enjoy (?) them. "Wi11ie" however is a staunch sturdy fellow, nevertheless, and "04" is proud to number him in her ranks. 60
