RBBDS Historian-BLANCHE SMITH JETT ' CLASS HISTORY HEN the American School of Osteopathy and The Andrew T. Still College of Osteopathy and Surgery combined in the summer of 1924, a great institution was formed. This union gave to the world the greatest school for the production of Osteof pathic physicians ever known in the history of this profession. What should be more htting than that the first class should be the Hnest ever matriculated in any school? More than two hundred men and women from universities and colleges in all parts of the U. S. as well as of Europe and Canada met in this Erst class. Great opportunities awaited us, but along with them we found even greater responsif bilities. Upon us was placed the burden of establishing customs and precedents which would be in keeping with the spirit of so great an institution. This fact was brought forcibly to our attention when the sophomores acquainted us with the imminence of an event in which we were to be the unwilling but outstanding figures. We were put through a paddle line about four blocks long, in which the sophomores were presumably the only persons officially permitted to wield paddlesg but in fact practically all the male element of the three upper classes, Cand as it seemed to us, the men of the whole town as welll, took a hand in this timefworn method of initiation. The casualties were manyg fellows who had not been on their knees for years used them that day, and practically all had to eat their meals from the mantle shelf for days. We learned early in our course the meaning of such words as contusion, abrasion, laceration, and the like. Also, we decided that the paddlefline should give place to something more modern, such as hair cuts. Soon after school opened, the girls of the class vividly depicted the union of A.S.O. and A.T.S.C.O.S., by a solemn and proper marriage ceremony celebrated at the regular assembly in the gymnasium. The Kirksville fire department clashed with us at the bonfiire calculated to develop pep for the football game scheduled for the following day. The bonffire, topped by the little red school housef' met a wet receptiong but the spirit of these budding osteof paths could not be daunted even by cold, wet water. More wood was added to the waterf soaked pile and gallons of gasoline and kerosene were poured upon it in readiness for a conilagration which would tax the powers of even the K. F. D. In the interim., the mayor came to our assistance, assuring us that all Kirksville wanted us to have our fun. Instantly the torch was applied to the inflammable mass and a fire of terrihc proportions burst forth. About it the happy freshmen carried on their war-dance, and this became a snake dance through the streets and picture shows, culminating in a noisy demonstration on the pub' lic square. Needless to say, the Rams, with such spirit behind them, easily butted the Bulldogs off the gridiron next day, and between halves we saw a daylight demonstration of how the K. F. D. really works. Men from the class hold important places in large percentage, in all forms of athf letics and other school activities. Football, basketball, band, school paper etc. have many representatives from June '28 class. Now, at the end of two years, in retrospect we consider our trials which have indeed been many, but the joys and pleasures have so far outweighed the trials that with anticif pation and assurance we contemplate the two years yet remaining between us and our goal. l G.
