KENNETH J. QQBANION J. PAUL INGELS ANTHONY DIBIASO Secretary President VieefPresident Class of January '33 N the depths of-a severe winter four years ago, there assembled in Kirksville, from every point on the compass, twentyfseven young men and women, the Class of January 1933. Being a midfyear class, it was perhaps singularly fitting that we were destined to become what might be termed The Snowball Class, for during the course of our four years' journey through school we gradually gained in size and solidf ity, until, having reached our journey's end, we have become the largest january Class ever to he graduated from a college of Osteopathy. Our snowball is melting, part of it to sink deeper into the earth, part per' chance to rise to heights hitherto unknown. That is for the Future, and in the Present We, the Class of january 1933, hope that the memories we leave behind may he as pleasant as those which we carry with us. ev mf- H W- l31ll

A JOSEPH THOMAS AL.FRED REOER HAROLD SHADE Secretary President VicefPresident Class of June '33 S we approach that day when we shall change from student life to professional life, we are possessed of mingled emotions. When we think ofthe friendships. acquaintances, and associations with fellow students. faculty, and local people, we are indeed disturbed about leaving. Most of them we will possibly never see again. It is a sad thought. But as thoughts wander on we realize that graduatQon is the goal we have been working toward for four years. The realization of that goal means a great deal to us. lt means a chance to go out in the world and not only make our own way but to uphold an ideal-an ideal which has been set before us and with which we have become imbued through the earnest and sincere efforts of our instructors. We are anxious to be able to uphold it in the field, to become full fledged members of the profession whose ranks are doing so much to combat disease and protect the health of Humanity. This year has been both pleasant and successful for the class. Mucli credit is due the officers and members of the Graduation Committee for their untiring efforts in making our last year and graduation a series of events on which we can look with pride in future years. Though we leave the college, we will take with us many pleasant memories of hours in Kirksville. Who knows but what some day we might return to renew those memories? u'Ql5s------- ll32ll
