EATON, HELEN Wairmis Q sit M oLAss H1sToRY HIRTY brave hearts and true, twentyfthree men and seven women, having the courf age to take the first step of their New Year's resolution, registered in K. O. C. We are now a year and a half old-some have fallen by the way: we have gained other recruits to take their places. Yea more! our number increases. We have no celebrities-nor can we boast, as do our upper classmen, of football captains or squads. No basketball heroes march in our forward van, but our family circle is representative of fourteen states of the Union, with one recruit from Canada. But we shall not forget to mention that we have represented, not from the Orient or other foreign clime, but from our own native land, the three wise men, the Cottinghams in the personages of the father, who is also our worthy president, and his two sons, all men of real stature. Small and insignificant as we are, the mighty Sophs soon discovered us, and extracted from our nonfresisting and sorely depleted pocketbooks still another dollar. So it was with troubled brow and uncertain mein that we viewed our new possessions, those hated emblems, the green caps. Yet it was not without a certain pride and satisfaction that thus adorned we awaited with such fortitude as we could muster, the coming of another day- that day when we should receive full recognition-that day when to us should' be applied, with long and sinuous laths, unmistakable evidence that certain men had formerly occupied even these-our lowly Freshmen seats. The day drew near-arrived-as did also the January Sophs. We listened in dismay to the heavy approaching tread of the determined feet. Ever and anon penetrated to our straining ears the mighty smack of barrel staves in keen anticipation of intended purpose. At last a thundering rap upon the door. Dr. Stukey, the friend of the Freshmen, to the rescue! 'Thou shalt not pass ! he bravely cried. Our hearts leaped ap as down we sat. With 'relief we nearly died! But alas! Cur friend became our foe! Freshmen exams drew on apace. Those grim words assumed for us a more sinister signihcance. We moaned about the darkened corridors of the basement in deepest gloom-and ever there -reverberated in the hollow ventricles of our brains, Thou shalt not pass ! Why dwell on these dark and gloomy thoughts-we are Sophomores now-mute evidence that some way, some how, we have survived another paddling line. So january found us again making other resolutions-that we would ...... be up and doing, With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

K. Rrssaa Secretary-W.. G. MEADE Historian-MARVIN WHLTESIDE S5252 - CLASS HISTORY EPTEMBER 1925 found K. O. C. the lodestone for more than one hundred and seventyffive new freshmeng all' desiring to know more of Csteopathy and to make thereby the class of '29. Matriculation busied us for a while and finally showed us to be a cosmopolitan group, representing not only most of the United States but Canada and England as well. There came to us then that period of adjustment to our new and diiiicult status, bringing initiation with green caps, followed by Button Freshmenlwg the parade and paddle line from which kind nature saved us by an opportune delugeg the freshman rules so inconsiderate of our nuinberous social engagements such as the freshman reception, the getfacquainted party at the gym, and 'ldatesn for movies and rushing. Speaking of rules, breaking them brought a few shorn heads but that style seems to be going out of date. Why? Ask the Sophomores. All of this was but the lighter side of Frosh life. Following dry and rattling bones came our introduction to Grace, the cadaver, with a consequent ten pages a day to say nothing of chicks and pigs, whole or sliced as you will, along with frogs, worms and the elements to balance the equation. We had a painting party, too, all green and white, to dress up the freshman pit in the Anatomy lab. This structure was designed for the freshmen and by freshmen and is dedicated to future Anatomy classes, in which they may have practical demonstrations. Crganization of the class began with the choice of Student Council repref sentatives: W. A. Craig and Robert Gordon. Boyd Limes acted as temporary chairman of the class by appointment until regular elections were held, when the above officers were chosen. ' -,Withal, we have had representatives in various activities of the college, some having made varsity football, and Ted Craig taking the school golf chain' pionship. Nor should we forget the interclass basketball when we won from the Sophs. Then, too, there were freshmen on the Stilletto Staff, in the band, and the Glee Club, while the girls find plenty to do for the Women's League. Thus we have been kept more than occupied, even into the second semester and with a desire to carry on.
