Stanley entered the class in the Sophomore Year, and has distinguished himselfas a student. His favorite study is the dictionary. He has been known tosit for hours, seeking some new words with which to stagger his friends. Thereis usually a sigh of relief when he has finished speaking. He has taken greatinterest in athletics, and while not a participant in most games, he has been thechief instigator of a great many important movements. Athletics in general bearthe marks of his influence and efforts and as a whole they are in a more flourishingcondition than they have been for a long time. His popularity is acknowledgeCl.William Henry Thomas, otherwise and better known as Angel-face Willie,has for hIS home Buckeystown, Md. He entered the class in its infancy-Sub-Fresh Year-and has been a staunch member ever since. Angel-face is nowtwenty years old. Throughout these long years never once did Cupid succeed inpiercing his mail-clad breast until the middle term of his Senior Year.
