its TO THE FUTURE FRESHMAN. Here is a toast lwant to drink to a fellow l'll never know- To a fellow who's going to take my place when it's time for me to go. l've wondered what kind of a chap he'll be, and l've wished l could take his hand Just to whisper, l wish you well, old man in a way that he'd understand. l'd like to give him the cheering word that l've longed at times to hearg l'd like to give him the warm hand clasp when never a friend seems near. l've learned my knowledge by sheer hard work, and wish l could pass it on To the fellow who'll come to take my place some day when l am gone. Will he see all the sad mistakes l've made and note all the battles lost? Will he ever guess of the works they caused or the heartaches which they cost? Will he gaze thru the failures and fruitless toil to the underlying plan And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the heart of a vanquished man? l dare to hope he may pause some day as he toils as l have wrought And gain some strength for his weary task from the battles which l have fought. But l've only the task itself to leave with the cares for him to face, And never a cheering word may speak to thefellow who will take my place. Then here's to your health, old chapg,l drink as a man to man: l leave an unfinished task for you, succeed for l know you can. l've dreamed of my dreams as all men do, and you'll dream the same things too. And my prayer to-day, old chap, is that they may all be realized by you. And we'll meet some day in the great unknown--out in the realms of space: You'll know my clasp as l take your hand and gaze in your welcome face. Then all our failures will be success in the light of the new found dawn- So l'm drinking your health, old chap, who'll take my place when l'm gone. -Anonymous. 154

wwwew s To FRESHMAN CLASS HISTCRY The class of l9l8 was quickly organized, but we began the long circuit of four years with rather a limited number. We did not enjoy our loneli- ness very long, however, as the second semester found us increased by twenty-two more students from the Pre-medic class. Needless to say, we welcomed them with open arms. Of course, there was a reason. With them they presented us with four members of the fair sex, which brightened our heretofore dull class-room. They were an extremely welcome addition to our ranks. About two weeks after school opened the much to be feared class rush took place. lt, however, was not as exciting as advertised. The Sophs outnumbered us about three to one, and coupled with the fact that we were taken unawares, they succeeded in painting and marching us around the West Side. ln the afternoon we were their guests at a neighboring theater, which settled things to the satisfaction of all concerned. The next event of importance was the election of class officers. B. F. Croutch .......................... President C. lVl. Copia ..... . . .Vice-President J. P. Hutchinson. . . ....... Treasurer F. IVI. Dry ....... ......... S ecretary J. F. Ruzic .... .... S ergeant-at-Arms B. C. Rembe .................... Sergeant-at-Arms The class immediately voted Dr. C. B. lVlcClurg its honoraryi President. and to our great pleasure he honored us by accepting this position. We received a severe jolt, however, when we returned from our Christmas vaca- tion to learn that our esteemed Honorary President had been promoted from the rank of bachelor to the exalted position of a benedict. Our heartiest congratulations and sincere wishes are extended to him, and may he enjoy a long happy wedded life. The Freshmen Banquet was held April l5th in the Fraternity Room of the Great Northern Hotel. Many of the Faculty were present. All present had a most enjoyable time, and there is no doubt but what this day will be long remembered as one of the brightest in the history of the class. CLASS OF 1918. We're always studying, we never play, For Doctors we all hope to be some day To cure all ills, and right all wrong So that the world may continue in the life long song. We will relieve a pain, and give a pill, To earn our living, with a right good will, And if the folks are old and gray, We'll do our best to keep death away. F. j. HALPIN 'I8. 153

James A. Waugh was born in western Pennsylvania in IS47, in which state he spent the early part of his life, receiving his education at Westminster College. He was very prominent in athletics. His reputation as a baseball player and his abilities to line-'em-out are still spoken of with pride by his former associates. Af- ter leaving college we find him industriously and suc- cessfully engaged in the banking business in Green- ville and Oil City, Pa., and as oil broker in Brad- ford and the Oil Exchange in New York City. He later came to Chicago, where he has shared the bur- dens of this college, acting in the capacity of Finan- cial Secretary. Miss Eleanor Ellsworth Sherwood. lt's hardly pos- sible to think that she is a grown-up because she is so small and jolly: and when she smiles, why. the library is always crowded. They say, She was placed there, so as to have the library a popular place for the students to study. What do you mean? we HOFFICEH Miss Minnie Leishin. On the l0th day of March, l9l0, there appeared in the office a young lady who assumed the duties of stenographer. From that day to this Miss Leishin has been the friend of every student whose business has taken him to the office. Quiet and reserved, and yet obliging and courteous to all, Miss Leishin has been a favorite with all con- nected with the school. Among her many accomplish- ments is the ability to remember the name, initials, and class of every student in this department. Daisy E. Truby, clinical nurse, Bennett Medical College, Medical Department of Loyola University. was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and received her training at the Franklin County Hospital in Penn- sylvania: after leaving that hospital she went to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. At her post in the Clinic Room she fills a place in the hearts of professors, students and patients, and all questions and requests are answered in as cheerful and encouraging manner as one of the ministers to the sick always answers. It is the hope of all that our little nurse will long grace the clinic room of the Bennett Medical College. 155
