The odor of deeoctions. infusions, distillations and incincrations was stiiling. but at noon all emerged happy but hungry. OCTOBER l8. Everything going fine, nothing to complain of because so far everybody is just getting their feet wet. OCTOBER 21. All have made the decision to buy and sell by different systems of weights and measures because Prof. VVhitney has just showed to us the difference between apothecary, troy and avoirdupois systems. And the difference will soon make a poor man rich. OCTOBER 26. The class made the annual trip to the Quindaro water plant and viewed the remains of millions of fossils that are killed in order that we may have decent drinking water, and after being made acquainted with the chemical analysis of the water and apparatus used in purifying the water we came to the conclusion that it was a great thing. But why worry about a few germs? And immediately the old saying comes to us, XVha.t the eyes d0n't see, the stomach d0n't feel. So we returned home much wiser but tired. OCTOBER 31.

'Wi n ling around with those unknown equations there bohbed up' in our mind that old saying, VVith every bit of pleasure thcre has to be some pain. But here is hoping that we overcome the unknown. And, boy, when Dr. Taylor got to talking to us about those cells some of the bunch thought that the striped suits were next in order, and some of the gang shut their eyes and immediately saw those iron bars that are put around you. so that no one may do you harm, but they became easier when he told them that those cells were nothing but a nucleated mass of protoplasmf' Dr. Gayle at the beginning of his hour gave every one the once over and singled out our ambitious young Paul Hogan, and looking him square in the eye. shot the following question at him: W'hat is piscidia erythrina ? Some one reached over and steadied him or he certainly would have fallen over. But as we after- wards found ont, Dr. Gayle was only trying to keep him from going to sleep, and then came Prof. Andrews, who didn't waste any time telling us just how many Latin hours we could miss and still he a member of the class. Last but not least Prof. Estabrook took us through the complete growth of an imaginary plant, and when he got through we fully realized that if we got that much instruction out of one period. by the end of the school year we could apply for an assistant's position with the great naturalist Burbank. SEPTEMBER 25. Every day in every way we are getting wiser and wiser. The second week of school has gone by and every one scrambling for the facts of knowl- edge like a flock of chickens after corn. OCTOBER 1. Plans are all made to move into the new building within the next few days. All of our laboratory apparatus is packed, much to the grief of some of the more ambitious of our wonderful collection of knowledge-seeking students. OCTOBER 5. VVe all gather into the new building, all afraid to touch anything for fear we might soil it, but Mrs. XVhitney greets each one with a smile, and with her hands, which were rather soiled from unpacking, and straightening up, told us that there would be no school for a few days. Of course the remark was greeted with much wailing and gnashing of teeth. W'hich is always the result of such remarks. But all departed to lead lives of the rich until fur- ther notice. OCTOBER 10. All fixed up and ready to go, the laboratories were opened and we re- ceived some advanced work in chemistry.

A committee is appointed to choose some suitable gift, also one for Prof. Gustafson. A bridge lamp was chosen for Mr. and Mrs. VVhitney and a very nice leather billfold was chosen for Prof. Gustaf- son. Both presents were received with much appreciation and thanks. DECEMBER 20. VVith much crying of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all depart to their homes in order that we each may hang our stockings in their respective places and get to shake hands with Santa Claus once more. JANUARYZ. Every one back, although there is much glitter from fancy silk hosiery to diamond stick pins, all began to study for the rest of the mid-term exams. JANUARYS. XVe just had one question in physiology, but it covered everything from the first page to the last, and then some. , JNNUARY 8. Don't grieve too much because you still have a chance to make it up be- fore school is ont. JANUARYIO The subject is very gently brought to our attention of the fact that the Seniors were going to get out an annual, and in explaining it to ns Mrs. Whitney asked of ns our opinion and we with few exceptions voiced our approval of the project because of the fact that after we have retired and are living the lives of the idle, we can turn back the pages of our memory and as we glance at the smiling countenances of our friends we shall recall our school days at K.
