0 our friends and patrons we extend our most hearty greeting. In reviewing the past year of our labor in piloting this "Rat-Tat", our first literary effort, through the dangerous waters of edi­ torial turmoil and avoiding the rocks of discouragement and overconfidence, we may f~el justly proud of our achieve­ ment. In presenting this book to our readers, we have tried to touch, as far as possible, some responsive chord in each one, although we can perceive the futility of trying to please all. To those who are dissatisfied and prone to criticise harshly, we extend our most heart-felt sympathies. We have published this book, not for criticism but because we deemed it a method by which we could show our love and loyalty to our beloved St. John's.

History of the Class of 1912

"Chink" Molland "Shoontz" JOnes I N D readers, you may have gathered from various and di verse ources the g lori ous hi story and the memorable rise and fall of "George" DaviS Rome; yet your education would be far from complete if you have not a knowledge of the noble class of 19 12 of St. John's "Pat" PendleTon College- a class which has built itself upon so firm a founda- tion that it will last until every member has peri shed, and then "Monk" InSinger our memory shall go clown to posterity. O n a balmy clay in September, 1908, there as emblecl from the four cor­ "Bill" STaley ners o f the globe, namely, New York, Florida, Washington State and East­ port, the youths to whom belongs the honor of being the class of 19 1 2. When "Kerns" KendRick all the future classmates had arrived it was found that they were forty-two "Doc" CArver in number. At fir st we were received very hospitably, but on Friday nig ht we were treated to the g reatest ( ?) event of our live . On that occasion we "Bill" PaYne were g iven the warmest reception mortal at any time before or since received. It seemed as if all tortures ever invented were practiced upon us, but after it "Gran'ma" NoblE was all over we were still on our feet. This ability to stand on our feet under "Marie" Deets all circumstances is one of our g reat characteristics. A fter that Friday nig ht­ alas ! who o f us can ever forget it-the Sophomores ag reed to aboli sh hazing on condition that we obey certain rules. W e obeyed them onl y too willing·ly, " Fats" PollOck and were, therefore, never molested. Our men then settled clo wn to work, both in athletic and academic lines. Althoug h we did not accompli. h much in ath­ ''Groomy'' WheeleR leti cs, only one man getting on the football team, yet several of our number won positions on the . econcl team. Vve are the mainstay of the track team o f the college, for in this department Gail ey, Ryder and Broadrup are of superb "Puddin'" RosS ability. In baseball al so we supplied a few players. Crew was the varsity "Marie" DeeTs catcher and Michaelson is substitute. In our academic work during the F resh · man year we established the standard o f high scholasti c attainment, for which "Mick" PulOs we are noted. A fter the encampment, June week, and the commencement ex­ crci es were over we returned home, much wiser han when we arrived and ''Frenchy" Lavigne with numerous resolutions of what we would do the foll owing September. "Bull" CrEw The fall o f 1909 found us returning to our cl ear old coll ege. and each feel­ ing the g rave responsibility o f a Sophomore. All of our men did not return, "Country" FiNkbine but their places were fill ed by the new men, Miller, Christian, Lentz and Staley. O f course we appreciated our positions after the trials of the year before. No one there was to say "Go clown town and get me a piece o f pi e,'' 66 67 CLASS OF 1913

93 and it was tried in every way to make them fee l at home in their new . ur­ rounclings. It is in this and ;;; imilar ways that the Y. ~I. C. A. can exert one of its g reatest influences ove1· young men-men who are perhaps away from the safeguards of home life for the fir st time and thrown to a g reat extent upon their own resources, both intell ectual and moral. The number o f active members thi. year was small er than usual, but we sincerely hope that as the years go by the association will increase and more The Young Men's Christian Association widely extend its helpful influence and accompli. h more and more for good here at old St. J ol111 's.

N the Young ·Men's Christian Association we ha Ye an organi za­ tion which is one of the most important in the life of the col­ lege man of today. O ur association is a branch of the Inter­ national Young Men's Christian Association. The creed of this w01·ld-wide organization is well expressed in the follow- ing, whi ch is known as the Paris Basis : "The Young ~f e n 's Christian Association seeks to unite young men, who, regarding J esu Christ as their God and Saviour, according to the Holy Scriptures, desire to be His di sciples in their doctrine and in their life, and to associate their efforts for the extension o f His kingdom among young men .. , This was adopted in 1855 and reaffirm ed in 1907. The members o f our association are everywhere recognized , and one of our membership cards entitles the holder to all privileges in every association in the country. The Inter-State and International Committees, through their secre­ taries, render much practical aiel to our organi zation in carrying on its w01·k here in coll ege. This year delegates representinrr our association attended the state convention, held at J ohns Hopkins U niversity, where they had the adva.n­ tage of hearing many problems relative to the association work, eli cussed by experi enced and able speakers. Throughout the entire year meetings were held as far as possibl e every Sunday evening. At these meetings the members were aclcl ressecl by some m ember of the college faculty, minis ter of a local church or a field secretary of one of the Inter-State Committees. At the beginning of the college session a reception committee was organ­ ized among the members of the as. ociation for the purpose of meeting the new men at the train. , showin g them around the coll ege, introducing them to the professors, and helping in every way to straighten out their many difficul­ ties. It was in g reat part clue to the work of this committee that the coll ege work was able to start so promptly. On the first Saturday evening, after the opening o f college, a reception for the new men wa g iven by the members of the association. H ere the new men were introduced to the older students,

"!~~ O n June 8th the battalion was assembled and soon th ~ camp began to ri se. All afternoon the cadets worked like beavers. and by evening the camp was prepared for occupancy. Camp ''Rain" was situated simila rly to that o f the year before. about seventy-five yards in the rear of the gymnasium and facin g K in g George street. D uring the evening o f the first clay rain began to fall , the g ro und soon be­ came muddy and the cadets chilly. A few slept in camp that nig ht, but a waken ­ ing in the morning and finding the rain still holding sway, a general exodus began. Hy the evening of the second clay all but few of the stoutest-hearted had moved into the halls. And till it rain ed and muddier became the ground and colder g rew the campers, until even the bra vest coul d no longer withstand the ~te acl y onslaug ht of the chilly rain . O n the third day the camp was left to the g uard and the ra in , while the ~t ud e nt s reveled in warmth and dryness in their rooms. The g uard was changed daily, and the fell ows sho wed their mettle as they went about in the pursuance of their duties, covered with mud and wet throug h from the rain. ] n front of the g uard tent was a most lu scio us hole fill ed with wet, soft, yel lo w clay. O n the clay this hole was the juiciest and the renowned Waren­ feltz was 0 . G., a rumor was spread that an army offi cer was coming on a visit o f inspection. ''\tVarny" poli shed his sword, aided hi s bedraggled g uard to get the mud o ut o f their eyes and hai r, and at clow n to await the coming of the in spector. P resently a military fi g ure loomed into view around the corner of the old gymnasnun. 'Twas a most imposing fi g ure, too. clad in well-fitting khaki unifo rm and puttees : tl:c face was adorned by a pair of piercin g eyes. an aquiline nose and a coal black mustache hid a firm-lipped mouth. 150 151 Collegian Board, 1910-,11

154 . 155 Coronation of King Dorsey

(May rst, 1910.)

There was an old man named Dorsey, \ Vho once feel us beef that was horsey : Though omewhat a dreamer, H e· s better than R eamer. Thank God! l i e's a trump, i Dorsey.

A fter which introductory ditty, it now behooves me. as saith th e prophet. to pre. ent to thi aLwu st assemblage for coronation King Dorsey, Emperor o f the Eggs, rown P rince of P runes and Peas and Lord of the Larder-" fir st in din­ ner, first in lunch, first in the hearts of the St. J ohn's bunch' ' Gree tino·s, 0 Kino·! May you be a long liver and bacon-may yo ur proo·eny ever thrive and fl ouri sh in this land of peas and prunes and pies. For you came to us in the winter of our di scontent, when with-

] \eef to the ri o·ht of us. Deef to the left of us. 11eef all around us, \ ·o il eyed and thundered : Tomatoe. that had no fears. Eggs that were old in years. Ham that brought us to tears. Sadly we wondered.

Out of the darknes then Came thi s g r at King of men Hack to real hash again , Thus did he lead u : Shad now and soup that's red, Prunes and much g inger-bread; A ll honor to our g reat head. Long may he feed u. !

'Tis not often that in the li fe of one of uch tender yea1·s such a pri~ · l'f ege­ yea, I may say p!rasurc-falls as ha fallen to me. To have been selected as 157 as the chi ef "bell y-aker'' by such a worth!ess-I mean worth}·.-committee of the faculty is honor enoug h for any stewed prune, much less a dried apple. But. then, to have this other far g rander honor th rust on me, I mi ght even say gently sh07H! d at me. the honor of presenting to you this. our wo rthy Feeder of the l\I otl ey H orde-rea ll y, Ladies and Gentlemen, my K-nuckles K-nock to­ gether with fea r and my K-nees K-rack with K-ramps. And how wa. he di s­ covered? Ah! 'tis with fa r g reater pl easure that I disclose this fact to you, artless. astute assemblage of Annapolitan aristocrati c antiques. For 'tis to our clea r and beloved professor, M r. A. Mose Cooclwock- may the shades o f the usual con. ig nm ent o f sau. ages pardon me for thi s g lim pse into their past-to him. 1 ~ a y. pax secum , nux vom ica-is due all hono r and credit for the di s­ covery of this K in o· o f the Lima Bean. His weary, wobbly walk may be een at any time wandering its wi stful way along the campus. And may it wobbl e tor many decades to come! Tis not infrequently that he deig ns to lo wer him­ self by eating at the faculty table-with those shiny-coated pedagogues of the ,·intao·e o f '75. But wh en he do-K-reest how he do enj oy it! And may we a ll live long to chant yo ur praises. O h. K ing of great kings, hard to beat, hi ef of the Cheese and Buckwheat cakes, Beneath whose awful hand we eat Liver and Bacon and o·ood corn Rak es : Great Lord of G rub~d o n't leave us yet, Lest we forget- lest we forget.

A balmy Sunday afternoon, When spring fills all the air, The birds are singing a ll in tune, There was a young lady- Miss Ira­ The day is bright and fair. Whom we all must surely admire Young couples saunter s lowly by, For her great strength, Along the shady street, T o live at length, Light clouds Aoat softly in the sky; On a Aoor with surroundings dire. The air is warm and sweet.

At first her abode, A lone cade~ m sash and sword, Was on the Aoor, I'm told. Looks at this longingly, Of the renowned sipper of tea. With discontent his one reward, But it came to pass, For he is on 0 . D . That the winsome lass, Upon the campus he must stay Sought nearer the heavens to be. Dissatisfied and sad; On duty he for a ll the day, The doctors advised All e lse is free a nd glad. It would be w 1se That she live entirely a lone. H e sees the couples strolling past So busy she got, T award the river side, Moved all her rot He sees the white boats. running fast, To a little fourth Aoor home. On sunlit waters glide. The laughing children, too, he sees At play upon the green, She was welcomed with JOY, And carefree birds sing m the trees, And her looks so coy A tantalizing scene. Soon enticed every man on the Aoor, To seek to wm,

Resentful sorrow fills his breast, H er hand so thin, He sadly turns away; Or behold her from the door. The picture brings naught but unrest, A prisoner he to-day. But sad to say. To him the day no joy can bring Men filled with dismay, Nor pleasure can recall, When they found Ira's heart was of stone . For Sunday duty in the Spring Yet they loved her still, Is hardest fate of all. And do what you will , They would'nt leave her a lone.

186 187 She coaxed and begged, A..,d kicked her leg, To keep her suitors away. But why should she So bashful be, Is more than we can say.

The suitors persisted­ Miss Ira resisted- And trouble filled the air. The rest of the days The sun's bright rays Shone on the lady up there.

We cannot tell What earthly hell The noble lady endured, just take our word­ That we have heard, That now she's been secured.

U) Miss Ira no longer, ::> Take care! you wrong her :>:.. <( If such a title you use. 0 Lady Tizzle now, (!)" .J ".J Before her we bow, 0 0 And never think to abuse.

The man who has won, This wonderful one, Has trained her well indeed. She lives at peace, Can now Increase Her knowledge with much speed.
