Glass History, anuafry, 1924 T was on that cold and blizzardly morning of January 22, 1920, that fourteen men and one woman assembled in Chemistry Hall and called themselves the Class of January 1924. Our initiation into The American School of Osteopathy consisted of three degrees: The timefhonored first, our return of the challenge by breaking up all of the upper classes and the basketball game which resulted in favor of our friendly enemies, the Sophs. We wore the Irish Green another month. The Hrst year was the hardest and had it not been for such menlas Dr. S. S., Brownie and the late Dr. Lane some of us would have withdrawn from the conference long' before the close of this period. At the beginning of the second year we were met and defeated in the class game by the January '25 class. We were, in a way, glad of this, for some were already introduced to the dissection room and we all realized this was a big year and had something more important on our hands than these lowly freshmen. As time passed on our number reached thirtyftwo. About this time Dan Cupid got busy and took some of our members. Others dropped out on account of sickness and financial conditions. These last two years our number has remained around twenty, losing some though picking up some from other classes. How proud we were at the beginning of our junior year that we were permitted to have classes in the Hospital Pit. Though the seats were just as hard, they seemed like the front seat of a Marmon or a Packard in comparison with those of Chemistry Hall and the Amphitheatre. Time brought about the beginning of our Senior year. It took some time for us to realize that we were such, though we soon fell in line and tried earnestly to uphold the standard of dignity. We have come and gone, though not forgotten, for we have endeavored to make real friends of our fellow students and of the townspeople who have proved faithful to us. We shall always hold them in grateful remembrance and hope to see them, if not on our return trips to Kirksville, in that happier and promised land. Our school life here has been saddened by the deaths of two of the master minds in the Osteopathic profession-Dr. M. A. Lane and Dr. Geo. A. Still. Without a doubt we have seen more in our four years, with the exception of the class just ahead of us and the one just behind, than any class in history. We have seen the school at its worst, just after the war, and at its best, as it is today. We are proud to leave such a wonderfully equipped school Knowing that the faculty, as a whole, is the best in any of our recognized schools how could we help but go out one hundred per cent for Osteopathy andfor the A.
