The principal social event of the year was the class dance, given at the ballroom of the Hadleigh Hotel, February 21. The honorary presence of many members of the faculty, and students from other classes of the college, made the event distinctly one to be enjoyed and remembered. Our record would not-be comp-lete without mention of the sad bereave- ment sustained on the part of Joseph L. McHugh by the death of his father within the month of November. Floral tributes and messages of condolence were extended by the class and the Delta Sigma Delta fraternity. A like bereavement came to Henry XYisenberg, in the death of his father, just prior to the opening of the fall semester. A mo-st stirring event in the annals of the year was the meeting for the election of officers. The meeting was, perhaps, a little more dignified than that of a year ago, owing mainly to the fact that there were only 30 men con- tending for the privilege of offering suggestions, placing nominations, and being elected to office, as compared with 50 the year before. XVhile there was a semblance of a fraternity and a non-fraternity line-up, yet there was much independent voting, and each officer was elected by a close margin. The bal- loting resulted in the election of James D. McGrath, president:E. ll. Kohl- meir, vice-presidentg John li. Brazinsky, secretary: James P. Hynes, treas- urer: lVilliam F. Lady, historian: Chas. K. Peluso, sergeant-at-arms. Short addresses were delivered by each of the successful candidates, and all ended in that spirit of good will and harmony for which this historic class is so well noted. No class was ever more strongly marked by harmony, good fellow- ship and mutual helpfulness. So far the year has been especially noted for hard work, long hours, regular attendance and few furloughs. YX'ith 30 strong men to its credit, the Class of 1924, firm and confident in the training of the past two years, and urged forward by the bright promises of the future, has entered upon the last half of the course in dentistry with a determination that deserved, and will achieve, success.

' . . 1924 up to the beginning of the Second Semester. From that time until the end of the year, the class plodded along, carrying the 1-4-:ii-4-oEL' heavy burden of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, bacteriology, pathology, and all the other impediments with fortitude, courage and hope. The tinal examinations being over, all drew a sigh of relief and rejoiced that the middle mile stone had been reached, that the battle was half over. and the victory half won. May the remaining two years be no less promising, though no less taxing, and may they pass more quickly than the last. Of the 53 who ventured upon the second yeai-'s work, 49 were upon the roll at the close of the term. .Nt the opening' of the present year, September, l922, we were extremely disappointed to find but 30 of our former men report- ing for duty: and ere long two of these found it necessary to sever their con- nections with the school, at least for another year. Quite a number, as is often the case, found it to their convenience to cast their lots with other institutions for the finishing of their course. Of these. we are informed Pedro Gonzales, James Hanan, Joseph Lawlor, XV. VV. Mug'- man. XYilliam McGovern, Charles Peluso, Samuel Finkleberg and F. Shu- grue entered the Baltimore College of Dentistry. Raymond Lusardi, Frank Croneur and Max Smith enrolled with the Maryland University. Louis Con- ners found his way to the St. Louis School of Dentistry, while Hubert Mc- Vntchen, XVm. C. Gray, and C. Parsons emigrated farther XVest, and entrusted their future professional welfare with the Kansas City Northwestern. Again fate seemed to be adverse to a limited few. causing them to enter other lines of activities and suspend, for a time, their connections with the grand Old School. Among' these we note XVilliam Gussin, Carlos Rivera. Frank Kozik and Edward Harley. In this long enumeration of the Class of T924 has lost some of its best and most promising men, and We have only the consolation that our loss is credited to the gain of other institutions and fields of activity. VVell for them all, may it bel that they sought out good old Georgetown to give them their foundation and early training that will stand them in good stead in the continued preparation for their chosen careers. In a no wise small degree have we been compensated by the addition to our numbers of two strong and worthy men, viz., Charles Stutzman, who hails from George Xlfashington, in the days before her Dental Department was discontinued, and Mr. Hanchett, a former student of George XVashington. .
