All are thinking about the day when they will run down the steps with cap in one hand and their piece of goat hide in the other and yelling like some yearling calf that has gotten lost. Even the author feels :1 little tingling sensation running up and down his spine. APRIL 1. Even if we are Seniors. we haven't forgotten our childhood, and so we act accordingly. Every one feels good. Even Arsiculus Thompson has a smile on his face and all thoroughly enjoy themselves. APRIL 5. . Again there is a funny atmosphere in the air and we wonder what it could be. Much time is spent pondering upon the subject. and the wiser of our noble gang notice that the juniors are gathering around in bunches, and upon our approach quit their interesting conversation and talk about Sunday School or maybe the weather, or just anything to throw us off. But with our superior knowledge of the workings of the mind we smile and leave them alone, and upon winning the confidence of the more weaker sex we are told with very flowery speech and glowing terms that the class as a whole are go- ing to entertain us providing that they can get some of the more timid of the corn shuckers, grocery store clerks and soda squirts to open up their hearts and turn loose of two or three of those smooth worn frog skins that they carry around with them in the daytime and deposit under their head at night for safekeeping and with a voice filled with tenderness and anxiety we ae- quaint them with the fact that we will do all in our power to help them. APRIL l0. Every one is studiously preparing themselves for the State Board which meets here the 14th and 15th of this month. APRIL 14. School is out because of the State Examinations which are being held and many compliments are passed on the new building and equipment hy those who are here for the first time. APRIL 24. BOV, another picnic, and nothing was left out to make it a real one. but the author will leave it to be described by the editor of the Junior class his- fm-V' and om- Oulv regret is that we will not be able to look forward to one every year. MAY 1. The school is turned out and we all go to see the Blues play their first aqme All go in a body, and just because we make pills and fill eapsu'es it is g. .

Major Smith on leave from regular army and working in interest of re- serve corps of Medical Department. Explained to the school how the grad- uates might acquire a commissioned rank in the reserve, and in case of an- other war have some recognition. He gave a very splendid talk and some few days after he left, many of our seniors dreamed about strutting around in a spie and span army uniformfwith bars and ehevrons ranging from shave tail Lieutenants to Majors and even Lieutenant Colonels. MARCH l. Signs of spring begin to show on the countenance-s of many and from their pep it seems that some must have a had attack. MARCH 5. All students who are expecting to graduate begin to show some life be- cause they are trying to find out just how they stand, and all are wanting to make up work so that they may slide over the hill, MXRCH 10. XVe have just made water analysis and after filtering out all of the dead snakes, frogs, rhinoceroses and so forth many have made the silent vow to drink eow's milk for the rest of their days. MARCH 15. Prof. Gustafson is always giving us something niceg this time he pre- sented us with a very nice set of chemistry questions, and from all informa- tion we understand it is going to be a semi-weekly affair. MARCH 21. There is always two sides to anything. namely, the fore and after. liefore pharmacy lab. was over great was the speculation as to how many had turned in all of their extemporaneous preparations. Some were positive that they had turned in at least 70 because they knew that it was just like committing a sill to miss lab. Even so they hadf lint why was it that they only had credit for only 46 of them, and Hatter Prof. XVhitney explained to them he also showed to them, although there were 70 checks there, scattered through the 70 check marks, were some 25 or 30 check marks were what we would call slightly abbreviated: that is they were not as large as the others. More grief, all of those who didn't have the required amount of acceptable preparations would have to make them up outside of class hours. lXl.f'XRCH 25.

But we let the champion Blues know that we were behind them and would stick through thick and thin. MAY 5. Although we have never been officially notified of the fact, we are ex- pecting to be entertained by the management of the Parke Davis Co.. because it has been their custom for some time to entertain the Senior class, and it has proven beneficial to us in more ways than one. XVe learn of the way in which they manage and take care of such a wonderful business as they have and we are always entertained in fine shape. MAY 6. XVe visit the Federal Penitentiary and wonder how they ever come to let some of us come away. But even at that it was pitiful because we are positive that some of the crowd recognized some of their cronies, but were afraid to speak to them. MAY 8. VVell, boys, we have just about arrived at the end of our journey, the train has just whistled for the last stop and we get our accumulations together and prepare to put our little footsies on untrodden soil. A wonderful future and career ahead, while behind all have the good wishes of our friends and faculty. MAY 12. lVe have commencement and preceding the exercises the class dinner is given. The class dinner has only been established since the war, but at that time the classes were not nearly as large as they are at the present time, but owing to the wonderful success they have been, it has been unanimously voted that they should be given each year to the graduating class. Of course we entered no objections. XVe had a most excellent dinner. Every one enjoyed the talk given by Dr. Harry C. Rogers and afterwards the prizes were awarded. Then came the awarding of the diplomas, and many that night placed them very carefully under their pillows, dreamed of the wonderful things they were going to accomplish. and then when they retired, of the many places they intended to visit among themi the Fiji Islands, gay l aree and the interesting old European countries, when they are suddenly awak- ened with a bump and find out that they are on the Hoor with all of the hed clothing. they rub a fist across their countenance, mutter to themselves out loud, resentfully throw the sheets. comforts and pillows back on the hed, then pass the rest of the night in turning and tossing, when suddenly the alarm goes off calling them, to the drudgery of the coming day. No matter how disfigured they may become in after life, no one may take the fact away from them that they are the Alumni of old K. C. C.
