.Qw RECAPITULATION OF THE CLASS OF '17. lt is only proper that a brilliant event should have its inception at a brilliant time, hence it is superfluous and unnecessary to state that Sept. 23, l9I3, was a bright day and the very heavens seemed to smile on a world that was happy, for on this day the great class of 'l7 convened for the first time to prepare for the years of history making en- deavor that were to be theirs. For a time at least silence reigned supreme and as far as the class was concerned life seemed to be extinct. It remained, however, for some- one to arise and speak, this man the class gladly accepted as their temporary chairman. The First thing of any importance was the election of officers, which resulted in the following men being chosen to office: C. H. Connors, President: D. D. Campbell, Vice President, D. E. Shea, Secretary: T. F. Phelan, Treasurer: Jas. Madison, Sergeant-at-Arms. About this time an edict was issued that the lowly neophyte was to be crushed, and the massacre was to take the form of a football game. How far from being carried out this mighty edict was can be seen to this day. Those lowly Freshmen who were to be burned at the altar of Hippocrates have never as yet been scorched, but have awal-:ed fat, and from time to time augmented their number until now they are as great in number as they once were, and still are in intellect. The class then became settled for a few days, only to become unsettled again, by rising rumors to the effect that the Sophs, not seeming to think that the football game served the purpose, were getting busy as was demonstrated later. ln spite of all, the much heralded class rush took place, the object of which was to bind and paint the Freshman, and the Sophsfcertainly put the green color on us this time. On November I5, the class was honored by the acceptance of Honorable President, by Dr. lVlcClurg. On St. Patriclc's night the class, arraigned in all its splendor, held a banquet at the Great Northern Hotel, and was honored by the presence of all of their instructors. It was generally admitted that all participants had one grand sumptuous time. After a long period of repose, characteristic of the elite and hard work on the part of the energetic, the class has returned, Filled with vigor and good resolutions. Realizing our duty at this psycological time, a class meeting was held to determine the manner in which the young intruders should be handled. As the presiding officer remarked, Now for the dirty work. The unsuspecting Freshmen were seized firmly and politely bound, hand and foot. They were then calcimined in green as a symbol of their state of intellectuality, and on their forehead was imprinted with deep staining Centian Violet, our class year 'l7. This was not meant merely to soak into their forehead, but from hence on to comprehend their insigniflcance, and make it a part of their gray matter to respect their superiors. They were then marched thru the streets, little difiiculty being found in handling the young reptiles. The tramp ended in Union Parlc, where both prisoner and captor were photographed. Later in the day both classes celebrated by attending the matinee. The class organized for their Sophomore year, electing Ceo. W. lVlcCrary, President: E. C. Nylander, Vice-President, C. Alexander, Secretary: C. Matlock, Treasurer, V. N. l..alVlarre and D. Monaco, Sergeants-at-Arms. Dr. Huber was unanimously elected Honorable President, and the class was honored by his acceptance. ln thought, word and action the class of 'I7 have proven themselves to be in- ferior to none, and if they maintain their degree of standardization, all will be looked up too by the Medical Profession.
