G JUNIORS Junior Glass iiaisturp QVALPOD lt was on the zoth of September, IQI4, when our little flock assembled in the City of Schools and Churches. At the ofdce of our Secretary, Dr. DeWitt, each was subjected to a multitude of questions, relative to his preliminary college work. Having qualified, he was then directed to the desk of Pan Kinsey, where he parted with his one hundred and fifty-five. T All was eagerness, our predecessors, as Freshmen, were ever ready to tell us of the valuable things we were so desirous of learning. Aside from the regular routine of work we were permitted to indulge in some wonderful undertakings. Un October 4, Disease Prevention Day, we were permitted to march thru the streets of Valparaiso in the Grand Parade. It was a glorious day for us and more than ever before did we realize the dignity of our position. It must be recorded ti-at in athletics-basket ba-ll, base ball, and field day exercises, members of our class won honors. The team representing the Nfedical Department did most creditable work at all times. As examinations drew nigh, some anxious Freshies burned mid-night oil. Nfany good times at Sagers were sacrificed. Examinations passed, the work of the year ended. ' We can find no record of the whereabouts of the Freshies during the summer months, but in September, a year after the first gathering on the I-Iilli' nineteen of the' class reported for duty, and the strenuous work of another year began. The word Sophomore seemed a good one to us. .In accordance with the belief In union there is power, our class organized. Doctor Parsons, f'Slim,', became our president. Because of his deep interest in the class and special executive ability, he became the representative of the Medical Department in the Student Council of the University, in which he helped to frame and put into effect the laws and rules which make this one of the best governed Universities. As winter came on the boys, interest in basket-ball again manifested itself. An excellent team was organized, and thru the earnest practice which followed, the University Championship was awarded our department. Thruout the remainder of the year nothing unusual occurred, until the examinations arrived. The last evening we spent at the home of Dr. DeWitt, our true friend and adviser. At his home we were beautifully entertained. At last, the time for bidding farewell to our classmates had come again. From that time until the few were recruited and joined with the Juniors of the Chicago College of Nfedicine and Surgery, in the autumn of IQI6, there is no record. Thus ends the history of our class in the City of Schools and Churches. V. L. DYER. Page136
