1915 Yearbook
Description
24-Bill" Schmidt and his gain still to be seen sliding down the icy hill.
25-Welsh invests in a new pair of skates, claims he can show the fellows around
here something new in the skating line. Dr. Ryan delivers first lecture of
his course. It was enjoyed by all.
27—Welsh can't think of an excuse for being an hour late in arriving from the
city. Something must have gone wrong.
28—Hurley moves from a private room to the study hall. Tough luck, especially
during oral exams.
29—The President makes an announcement to the effect that we would have
orals on Saturday morning. This certainly is a cruel, cruel world.
30—Philosophers have their orals in Logic, which put the finishing touch to the
first session's work. General permission until 5 o'clock. Hurley leaves for
an indefinite period.
31—Cletus Portel '13 gives the Philosophers on "Wisdom Row" some useful information in regard to "getting by." The throwing of the cherry stones
and the consequences.
February
1—The second session opens. Fr. Stahl describes Milton's "Invocation to the
Sun." Makes following remark: "He pays tribute to Satan till you would
feel sorry for the poor devil." Gross goes to chapel without his coat on.
Lee and Sybert sentenced to two weeks in the study hall.
3—Thomann entertains occupants of the infirmary with a few extraordinary
tricks; they say he was good considering the fact that he was ill (?).
5—Peters visits college on way back to Baltimore.
6—Fr. T. to Mike Highberger: "Don't make a face like that Mike, you look like
a cat when it thunders," a little later: "Mike, you make more noise than a
tiger cub."
8-McConville's little drama in which the lamb kills the butcher is very successful—for the lamb (Kenney).
9-Raymond Kinnavey broke his arm in falling on the "Gym" floor. No waterfalls in the "movies."
11-Another warm one; Murphy has it bad today; too sick to study "Phil."
12-Lincoln's Birthday; general assembly and regulations for Washington's
Birthday and retreat read; General permission till five.
13-Barringer's first exercise in his "gym" suit was too strenuous; he is going
to bring it back. Fr. H. in geometry class, looking at globe in corner of
room, said: "If you fellows don't wake up I'll throw the earth at you, you're
sitting there with as much expression on your faces as hams hanging in a
butcher shop."
