Midyears and Christmas vacation hurried along, and we returned to find our marks posted conspicuously in the hall. Some were disappointed, but as a whole the class was happy, for Dr. Tucker told us that, taken on an average, the Junior and Senior marks were the best the college had produced for years. Our spirits fell, however, after Prof. Dillenback hurled his midyear exam at us in February. Only eighteen passed, and the remainder of the class set frantically to work vowing a wonderful mark in the linal. But I am ahead of my story, for the .luniors tendered the Seniors a dance at The Ten Eyck I-lotel in January, and it certainly was a great success. Many thanks to our under classmates. Another important event happened before that dreadful quizz. The Class of IQIO decided to launch forth and edit a class book. ' Indeed, we were growing and broadening out. After February everyone seemed to settle down to steady grind, and here and there groups would form in hall, lecture room or library and Materia Medica, Pharmacy or Chemistry would be the engrossing theme instead of theaters, dances and various other outside topics. Once in a while, however, Ruth would break forth and play us a tune on her comb or sing us a snatch of the latest song hitg 'L VVhit would imitate our beloved Faculty, Swain would manage a dance all his own, or, better still, they would all get started and make a regular racket until, with knowing smile and kindly word, Pop H would bring the performance to a close. 'XVe are all sure Charles was glad summer was coming, for to him winters meant shoveling snow and coal, sometimes all night long. Cheer up, Charlie, if you have to shovel so much here perhaps you will be let off in the next world. VVell, those examinations were on. Wfe set with wrinkled forehead and pencil scribbling, stopping now and then to scratch our heads and gaze earnestly out of the window, hoping to see the answer there, we gathered in excited groups outside the examination room door and nearly came to blows over answers which differed, we studied some more and groaned, and racked our brains still more until at last they were over. Over, yes, but the marks! Vtfe waited as patiently as overwrought humans can until at last the day came along and we found to our joy that we were through in spite of the seeds, leaves, hydrocarbons, pills, aleurone grains and formulae. The great day arrived at last and a new batch of pill rollers were sent forth into the world to kill or cure. M. R. G. 25
