PAUL CULLER WHIPP Jefferson, Md. OH I SUCH A TANGL[ I "Ay, marry, now, unmuzzle your wisdom."-Shaks. "Things are not always what they seem." For that reason, at first sight, one would be lead to suppose that the dignified looking individual who goes by the name of "Paul," was a descendant of the Delphian Oracle so wise does he appear, and so learned is the bearing of his noble brow. In fact, so deceiving is that appearance that even the Prof's have been led astray by it, and often times turn to him with the question "Is that right Mr. Whipp?" And then "it" speaks and so complete is the mystic power of his words that, no matter what h e says, "Ye3, yes, that's right," echoes the Prof,--. "Paul" is very studious, and leaves a light burning after he goes to bed to make people think he is burning' the midnight oil over his lessons. Sometimes, however, "Paul" puts off his dignity and gets a "spell." At such times, it seems to be his object to make as big a fool of himself as possible, and he usually succeeds pretty well in doing so. Is very fastidious and begins to dress for parlor about two hours before the time. Unfortunately for his class mates, "Paul" plays the mandolin, and, when he gets a spell tries to tear the strings off, so vigorously does he play. However, "Pauls" talents speak for him and right worthily do they speak. GEORGE LE ROY WHITE Princess Anne, Md. "Ecce homo." "When the rosy fingered Aurora rolled back the curtain of continuous night" and beheld "G. L." just· getting up," it was then "that all the symphonies of nature burst out into that g'rand poem of praise, which found its echo in a sleepy grunt, "Ellie, has the bell blowed?" The last, but by no means the least, of our list, comes "G. L." who is the greatest combination of good nature and wind ever compounded. Is one great grand everlasting bluff, and, unless personal acquiantance dispelled the illusion, would convey the impression that truly he was "it." He himself tried to strengthen that impression by parading the hal1s and crying "Ecce homo." Very soon, however, that was changed by his classmates to the more fitting term "Ecce hobo." "G. L." has almost as beautful a voice as Bucky, and is all the time exercising it to the dismay of all. Is a special elocutionist, (don't you pitty this room mate?) Has a fashion of going down town and taking walks for his health after dark, and sometimes he becomes so engrossed in his meditation in those solitary (?) rambles that he forgets to return until the wee small hours of the morning. Time forbids us to enumerate his virtues, but suffice it to say he has them nevertheless. 6J
