Glass History, one IQZS HE g enesis of our material existence as a class in the American School of Osteopathy was sin September just three short years ago. Having come from twentyfeight state in the Union and from Canada, we bound ourselves t ogether with true bonds of fellowship to our beloved school. Not mindful of the fact that we were Freshmen, we stepped firmly upon the path leading to knowledge and understanding. Dreaming was a pastime and we always en' deavored to make our dreams come true. Our first ambition was realized in our defeat of the entire school in a game of basketball. As Sophomores we were victorious in the maintenance of discipline over the incoming mad rush of Freshies. The latter event took place on the royal battlefield of the school and was a scene long to be remembered. A tug' offwat across the pond resulted in a complete drenching of the Freshmen at our hands. A flag rush preceding this event was a freefforfall from the beginning and the contestants stopped only to remove mud and hair from their mouths. A The uphill grind of the first two years brought many joys and sorrows. The un' timely death of Doctor George dealt us a blow from which we shall never recover. Each crisis only bound us firmer and closer together. We were always looking for the brighter side of things and always forward. The beginning of our junior year found us gradually getting under way as event upon event transpired. It was a pleasure to witness the breaking of the ground and the erection of our new laboratory building. We also witnessed the dedication of our new athletic Held, upon which our class warriors, together with our worthy classmates, plunged down the field for other victories. All through the three years just passed is woven a thread of loyalty seldom existing in a class of one hundred and twenty members. We have taken part in all branches of school activities and have always endeavored to be a booster for our Alma Mater. The American Osteopathic Association, convening this year in Kirksville, finds our class helping in the preparation of the yearbook to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of Osteopathy. As we look back upon other years we see that remark' able progress has been made in every way toward the advancement of the truths of a great profession. Now, as we continue our way toward the final goal, we, too, see the light as did those who have gone before. Doctor Andrew Taylor Still, the greatest of benefactors, friend of the suffering and leader of men, has made such a method of healing possible and we as a class are proud to follow in his footsteps. Another year will find us scattered to all parts of the world, but still the old class of June 1925 in heart, body and mind. As we meet with our lot in life we shall ever be mindful of our happy days as a loyal class of the A. S. O. . N. R. Q. Page 82
