Not since '98's fifty-four Fresh men had signed one of the longest rolls Georgetown has ever possessed had such a large class entered upon its first collegiate year within her walls. At the time we had forty-eight names on our roster, twenty-two of which were those of newcomers. Mr. John J. Thompkins, S. J., whose popularity was undoubted and whose ability had been well tried in the Preparatory De partment, was our instructor in Latin, Greek, and English ; Messrs. Creeden and Keating, S. J., teaching Higher Algebra. The very firstactio n of the class as a whole was the election of class officers. This took place a few days after everything was in smooth working order. Michael J. Walsh, Pa., and Stephen A. Douglas, N. C, two of the most popular men in the class.were elected president and vice-president, respectively. Almost immediately afterwards the nominations for football captain and manager were opened, and the class choice fell most happily on Albert E. Murphy, Pa., and J. P. B. Duffy, N. Y. The French have a proverb which is often cited but which will bear quoting once more : " The unexpected always happens." We furnished a shining example of this during our memorable Freshman year in winning the inter-class foot ball championship. Between the years of '94 and'98, as a consequence of the black Thanksgiving Day game of' 94, George town did not enter the arena of collegiate football but con tented herself with home games between the classes. Each class was thus put upon its mettle and each was equally de termined to place the very best team in the field ; as a result every available man was called upon. We had not developed Sophomore Year found the class roll diminished by fourteen a great deal of strength in the preliminary tussles, but when of the old names. In Brady, Hindle, Moran and Whiteley, '99 and '00 went down before the Freshmen, the knowing ones however, we gained four classmates who in great part made began to feel that the championship banner would find new up for the absence of the rest, and who proved themselves well and capable bearers before long in the champions of that class. worthy of our friendship and esteem. Mr. John J. Corbett, Results confirmed their anticipation. The following two S. J., ably filled the position of Mr. Thompkitis. Not many games were victories for 1901 and the coveted banner weeks of October had slipped by when a number of surveyors passed into our possession.

Dr. Ryder, Rector of Georgetown, in the year 1830. Its purpose was the development of public speakers, but the exercises, unlike the weekly debates of to-da}', originally consisted of essay writing and declamation, together with an occasional address, delivered by some member on patriotic occasions. In the year 1874 Mr. Richard Merrick, the distinguished jurist and an honored alumnus of Georgetown, recognizing the worth of the Society and desiring to arouse amongst its members a still keener spirit of competition, presented the college with a sum of money, of which it was stipulated that the interest should be each year expended in the purchase of a medal, to be presented to the acknowledged best of four speakers in public debate, and since that time, more than a quarter of a century ago, the annual Merrick debate has been one of the most distinctive features in the college life, and the Merrick medal has been one of the most coveted of honors among the students. 54 T.

Encouraged by the success of " Riche- Heu," in April Shakespeare's " Henry IV" was brought out. The first production was for the young ladies of the George town Convent. The play was so successful that several per formances were given. Mr. Moran Barry made the hit of the play by his splendid portrayal of the Jolly Rogue Falstaff. Since then the association has produced but two plays. " The Celebrated Case " was brought out in December, and was pronounced by all a success. It was a play with great heart interest, and yet a vein of humor pervaded it—a play which pleases all. The cast was a splendid one, everyone playing his part in a praiseworthy manner. "The Merchant of Venice " was given later in the season for a charitable institution at the Lafayette Square Opera House. Difiicult as was this play, nevertheless it went off without a hitch, and was heartily ap plauded by a large and fashionable audience. The association has in view the production of an original play next year, which is being written for it.

Our team of that year po.s.sessed in Princeton's great athlete, Phil King, an excellent coach, and in Dan ^McCarthy, a mo,st successful captain. F^very college of note in the East and South, with the single exception of Holy Cross, was met and defeated, while those sturdy ball to.ssers from the western metropolis, the boys from Chicago llni\-ersity, after a journey of a thousand miles, were overcome in two well-played games. Nor did our players in 1900 rest upon the laurels won in '99. It is true that the championship did not fall to us again, but it was only after a hard-fought game of ten innings that Princeton wrested from old Georgetown the crown of victory and forced us to be content with the po.sse.ssion of the second highest rank among college teams. The team's record for the season was a very enviable one, and reflected much credit upon Coach Bradley, another son of Na.ssau, whom we have been fortunate enough to secure again for the present year. During this season, we have played about twentj'-one college games and have lost but four ; a record of which we ma}- rightly be proud, when we consider that we ha\-e met the best college teams in the country. Of the memorable team of '99 we have left but two—Walsh, left-fielder, who has so admirably and successfully captained the team this year, and Moran, who is acknowledged to be the best college short-stop in the country. .Several of la.st year's men are still with us, notably. Bob Blewett, our crack twirler, who has been the cau.se of .so many teams' defeats, and McKay, Devlin, O'Hara and Golden. This year's new men have shown up remarkably well, and in Catcher Drill and Fielders Apperious, Connor and Dowling we are more than recompen.sed for the loss occasioned by the failure of .several of the 1900 team to return this year. In looking over the past achievements of the Blue and Gray on the ballfield, we feel that the best toast we can quaff to our successors is : " May Georgetown always do as well on the diamond as .she has during the four years spent by Naughty One at the College." 106 ^ ^ *^ SCHEDULE, 1898 »f» March 26, Georgetown vs. Johns Hopkins at Georgetown " 30, " " Gallaudet April I, " " Lafayette 6, " " Lehigh 7, " " Yale 9, " "• Princeton II, 12, Yale 13.

CHORUS : What ! Never ? CAPTAINS: " Well, hardly ever." BOTH TE.VMS : '' They ne\-er fail to hit the ball ? Then all together shout and .scream For the vivid vi.sions which our captains dream." Choruses and Ensemble : '' Then all together .shout and scream For the vivid pipings which their captains dream." Flotirish of trumpets atid a roll on the kettle drum. G.\TE KEEPER : '' What ho ! Gadzooks ! Beseems me ! Here at hand The umpire comes, the king of ba.seball land ! " GEORGETOWN GIRLS : Ah ! now the timid umpire comes. The bashful man approaches. ROOTERS: The enemy of bleacherites, and also of the " coaches." UMPIRE enters attired in silk hat atid frock coat and lakes C. Red light chases him around the stage. Sole—UMPIRE : I've a notion what an umpire ought to be. In this new and glory-making centur—ce. And I think that I am right When I try to be polite In the giving of my absolute decree. So I never cry in rasping tones, " You're out ! " For a cultivated man should never shout. But I say in accents thin : " Pardon me, you are not in ! " And the one who does not thank me is a lout. Ensemble : Yes indeed we quite agree, For it's plain as plain can be. That the one who does not thank him is a lout. UMPIRE : If a player makes a hit that's dubbed " a bird," And the voice of some young lady then is heard, With the wisdom of an owl. Crying "bird" yotr know, means "foul," I don't tell her that her ruling is absurd ; And if vulgar people roar at me direct, " You are decomposed ! " or w-ords to that effect. Then I smile a merry smile. While I lift my shiny tile. And with folded arms I calmly stand erect. Ensemble : Though his enemies may rail. Yet they're always sure to quail. When with folded arms he calmly stands erect. UMPIRE (takes of his hat and boivs) : Kind gentlemen, I greet you one and all ; Oblige me now by .starting to play ball. And all " pro bono publico," who sit And w-atch you now, should fairlyfield an d hit. 133 The game is commenced. EL.VV bats and scores a run, zehilc the leader of the orchestra plays buzz-saiv inusic on the violin. ROOTERS a7id GEORGETOWN GIRLS are dismayed. During this interval the KNOCKERS smile and conic close to GEORGE TOWN GIRLS. ROOTERS: Alas, alas, and pity ! Oh, what is this we see? Alas, alas, and pity That ever it should be ! GEORGETOWN GIRLS : To think of our poor fellows there. All cha.sing fliestha t fell. ROOTERS and GEORGETOWN GIRLS : Alas, alas, and pity That ever it should be ! Trio: GEORGETOWN GIRLS sob and ROOTERS look doivticast. KNOCKERS address GEORGETOWN GIRLS : FIRST KNOCKER : Oh, they're on the bum— That is plain to see. Don't admire them, girls ; Turn your thoughts to me. SECOND KNOCKER: If I made the team I would show them how They could win the game. But I'll " knock " them now. 134 THIRD KNOCKER : Oh dear girls don't cheer. For those chaps can't pla}-. If we chose, we could. Beat 'em aii}- day. All three : With our tiny little hammers we will knock, knock, knock. We are .small, but we are rugged as the rock, rock, rock, We can't tell you why we do it, We admit that we may rue it, But we hope to win the ladies by our knock, knock, knock. ROOTERS are dismayed at first, and meanwhile the GEORGETOWN TEAM weakens. The GEORGETOWN GIRLS hesitate as to whether or not they should listen to the KNOCKERS. Suddenly the LEADER OF THE ROOTERS 7VCW/'.\- to his feet. Recitative—LEADER OF THE ROOTERS : Come, Georgetown men, now to the vocal fray. Give heart to tho.se brave fellows on the field. Let not your voices fail in dread dismay, Rai.se up your shouts, " Georgetown will never yield ! " ROOTERS all rise and sing and shout enthusiastically. ROOTERS {dro^cning out the voices of the KNOCKERS) : We will smash all opposition with our funny little cracks. We will start our operations with a " Hoya, hoya, sax ! " And our " Hickey, hickey, kai, ai ! " And our " Muckey, muckey, hay ai ! " We'll all shout to our advantage, since enthusiasm lacks. FIRST GEORGETOWN GIRL : " Behold, this kind encouragement is telling ! Georgetown now wins ; girls, we must join the yelling ! " 135 KNOCKERS : But, girls, now listen— CHORUS OF GIRLS {indignantly) : No, not a word. We will not hear you. What has occurred Makes us not fear you. Get from our sight. Erring and sinning. Lies are not right, Georgetow-n is winning. UMPIRE takes C. Recitative—UMPIRE : " Your pardon' all I ask on knee now bended, Georgetown has won—the conflictfierce is ended. I hope that I have pleased you all this day. And that you will approve my courtly way." 77/1? KNOCKERS retire R. U. E., and stand with folded arms, frowning, zchile the bass fiddle goes zuba-zuba-zub. Then the CHORUS dances around the victorious team, sittging : Victory ! Victory ! Victor}- is ours ! Elay'sflag is drooping, and the Knockers are afraid. Victory ! Victory ! crown with choicest flowers Those who in the conflict stood and won it undismayed. For we .smashed all opposition with our funii}- little cracks. And we'll end all operations with a " Hoya, hoya, sax ! " And our " Muckey, muckey, hay ai," And our " Hickey, hickey, kai ai," We all used to good advantage lest our courage should relax. CURTAIN. 136 A FAVORITE SPOT FOR DECLAIMERS 137 Triolein: Fair Daphne's eyes, I thought were blue, 'Till, at the game, I looked to-day ; That Yale would win 1 almost knew, For Daphne's eyes, I thought were blue. But somehow when she looks at you They soften down to a tender gray, Fair Daphne's eyes, I thought were blue, 'Till, at the game, 1 looked to-day. The photograph most dear to me.

The pocket o'er my heart doth till. One was steel gray. One blue as the sky, .4nd G. won that day For one was steel gray. " How could it," you say > Why, she had a glass eye, And one was steel gray. One blue as the sky. '3S Tho' she smiled at my suit " You're pretty mean, 1 am very unhappy ; I'll have you know," Now, 1 thought it a " beaut," Said Josephine, But she smiled at my suit, " You're pretty mean." And exclaimed, " Oh you cute " It's the best I've seen,' Little London-dressed chappie ! " He whispered low: She smiled at my suit, " Your pretty mien, 1 am very unhappy. I'll have you know." When Chloe tripped lightly adown the hall. The room was struck by her lovely face ; And her figure graceful, and plump and tall ; When Chloe tripped lightly adown the hall, She walked sedately, nor thought to fall. But—banana peels always are out of place— When Chloe tripped lightly adown the hall, The room was strtick by her lovely face. I wish I could write you a sonnet, . She loved me, she said, This triolet's hardly worth while ! But she married another. I won't get two-fifty upon it; From the rest we had fled. 1 wish 1 could write you a sonnet— She loved me, she said. To pay for that new Easter bonnet In the letter I read. You ordered to keep in the style. She explained " as a brother I wish I could write you a sonnet, She loved me," she said. This triolet's hardly worth while. And—she's married another. 139 Owed to Sky Pocrlor From the towers of Loftycroft, From the Parlor of the Skies Where the brightest " stars" arise— Late for chapel in the morning. We look down from Lofty croft. Sometimes " knocking," never scorning From the towers of Loftycroft. From the towers of Loftycroft, Oh ! the " stars " of Loftycroft! From the Parlor of the Skies, In the Parlor of the Skies, Where are men both strong and wise, All their " Devlin " lives and dies ; Philosophs and speedy dashers, Astrals flash from Green to Golden Comes then down from Loftycroft None Dug-less from any loft, Watery baths on dressed-up mashers. Seitz more worthy a beholdin'. From the towers of Loftycroft. Than these Stars of Loftycroft. From the Foote of Loftycroft Rise these limping lives aloft. 140 The FoLble of tKe Boy who Thovight he was ©L Sport NCE upon a Time there was a Bo}- who Thought that he was a Pretty Good Imita tion of the Real Article. When he was at Home it was Different but As soon as he Reached College he Just Let Himself out. Many a night he would sit up Raking in the Simoleons at Penny Ante and Telling his Boon Companions what a Devil he was at Home. Then, Just to .show that he Didn't Care what happened, he would toss up a Coin to see who Was to Sneak Out for the Cheese Crackers. Yes, This Boy was a Sport from the Button on his Sassy little Cap to the Toe of his Pink Shoe. It Happened that One Afternoon, feeling Particularly Wicked, he resolved to Do the Thing up Right. The result was that He staggered Into the Gate at 6.15 P. M. with Three Seltzers, a Ginger Ale and Four Ham Sandwiches under His Vest. When he reached his Room he Sat Right Down and wrote to His Chum. It was a Snappy Stephen-Crane sort of Description of How Wicked he Had Become and Was so Realistic }-ou could Hear the Champagne Corks popping Between the lines. He put the letter in an Envelope and then Absent-Mindedly Addressed it to his Father. It was Next Evening that a White Whiskered Indi^-idual rushed into the Bo}-'s Room. He carried a lithe, Sinew}- Cane in his Right Hand and He seemed to be Angr}- about Something. In about one Minute and a Half he had the Boy giving an Imitation of a Steam Calliope in a Stock yard which Lasted until the Cane Broke. Then the Old Gentleman spoke a Good Many Well Chosen Words and left. Just as soon as he had departed the Boy went Around and Told all his Friends that the Authorities Telegraphed his Old Man to Come down and Lick Him because He (the Boy) had become so Awfully Sporty that They couldn't handle him Them.selves. Moral : You can't crush some people. 141 The Ballscde of Work ©Lnd Ease When winds are keen, and when skies are chill. And snow is thickening in the ways. When ice will crack on the frozen rill. Then comes the time of the sturdy days; But when the kine on the meadows graze. And blossoms brighten the " pleasant tea," And streams are babbling roundelays. An idle life is the life for me ! When meads are swept by the winds that kill. When in the orchards the birds are still, When winter, stern, in his robe arrays No rippling music their perch betrays. The pallid valley and trembling hill. When logs are gathered the hearth to fill, Then comes the time of the sturdy days ; Then comes the time of the sturdy days ; But just as soon as a zephyr plays But when, at last, thro' a golden haze. Where howled the blast thro' the naked tree, The sun sinks into a blazing sea, I leave my work, and I start to laze— I love to linger beneath the bays— An idle life is the life for me ! An idle life is the life for me ! ^ b' EKVOI ^ When age comes, withered, with eyes ablaze. Then comes the time of the sturdy days; When Love is lord, and the young blood's free. An idle life is the life for me ! 142 J Billy Blvie You kin blow about yer hero volunteer An' yer rough an' ready, steady infantree, You kin sing about yer Jackie an' his beer, You kin shout about yer dandy cavalree ; But of all the fightin' men I ever knew. An' of all the hghtin' men I ever seen. When the times was gittin' hot, oh the best of all the lot Was Billy Blue, United States Marine ! Then it's hi, Billy, Billy, Billy Blue ! We thinks we've got a little job to do ; We expects to have a fight an' we wants to start it right. So we puts the startin' of it up to you. He's a soldier, he's a sailor, he's a cop, He's as much at home ashore as he's afloat. He's as cosy in his crazy tlghtin' top As the Chaplain in his double-breasted coat. He kin ride a horse as well as he kin row. He kin shoot a gun as well as he kin swim. When there's trouble in the air Billy Blue is always there, An' you bet your life it ain't too hot for him. So it's hi, Billy, Billy, Billy Blue ! We thinks we've got a little job to do ; There's some sailors drunk ashore, won't come back aboard no more. So we puts the bringin' of 'em up to you. His otficer is frequently a chap Wot blowed his coin fore he got his sense— He kin hold a Shetland pony in his lap An' his shoulders always seem to git immense— P'r'aps his mathematics aint complete, P'r'aps he don't know mor'n me an' you ; But if it comes to fightin' fair, why I'd sooner hug a bear Than jump the man as nurses Billy Blue. Then it's hi, Cap'en, A-tajor, Colonel Blue ! We thinks we've got a little job to do. There's a landin' to be made an' a bill as must be paid. An' there's no one kin collect it quick as you. When the Maine was blowin' up around his head, He stood there wid his flipper at salute, While the Skipper, he was gittin' out o' bed— Oh Billy, ye're a darlin', ye're a beaut! Wid the entire army anchored out to sea An' the Spaniards crawlin' up on every side, He laid down close an' tight an' he showed 'em how to fight Till the fever come an' took him—then he died. Oh its hi, Billy, Billy, Billy Blue ! If wot the Chaplain promises is true Of the brave man's great reward, when he goes to meet his I'd like to take my chanst along o' you. [Lord, 143 ZShe Mandolin <*-5:&=::=-<<^ kONG ago in mystic Egypt, Then the sages and the scholars Ere the Jews were sold as slaves. Rhythmic music understood. Sat a swarthy, dark-eyed singer. And they wrote the singer's "nefer" Where the Nile its delta laves, As a picture sign for " good " ; And upon the firstrud e " nefer, " Graved it on the wondrous obelisks. Made of gourd and camel's thong. And the tombs where kings lie lone, Played a paean in praise of Isis, Shorn of every earthly glory. Played a wild, barbaric song. Save the writing on the stone. When from out the land of bondage Moses led the chosen race. They had learned amidst their slav'ry Some of music's soothing grace : And of yore the Grecian singers. Ere they felt the Roman swords. Played, betimes, the lute-like gittern. Rhapsodizing to its chords. Nefer, psaltry, lute and gittern. Every epoch knew your music, You but differ in the name, Every nation knew your lay ; For forever and forever Nations change, but souls are changeless. Has your music been the same : And we love your song to-day. Troubadour and Minnesinger Songs of praise and songs of battle. Plied the plectrum on your strings Songs of love—perhaps of sin— And at knightly joust and tourney Rich the dowry you have given Sang the praise of conquering kings. To your child, the Mandolin. 144 i '^^ Con cerntng Toiit1C^ In politics .? Oh ! I'm for gold— It's shining in her tresses, A tangled mass of curl and fold,— By Jove ! I know I am for gold !
