Those two years seem very short however when viewed from this side. They certainly seemed long enough though when seen from the other side. Our class has been one to change tradition. We tried as best we could to im' press our views concerning freshman rules on the sophomores during our freshman year. We were not quite successful in doing away with all of the rules but did get rid of a few of the more troublesome of them. This year, in the role of sophomores ourselves, we were more or less easy on the new freshmen. After all a new freshman entering school has too many other things to worry about to be bothered with a group of rules hanging over his head. Gray's, chemistry, histology and a dozen other subjects are crowding his brain, how well we know. When Dr. Stukey and his dissection came our way we almost wished that we were freshmen again. That two hours every afternoon gets pretty tough along in the spring when the grass begins to turn green and a young man's fancy turns not to dissection. However, with the end of this year we lay away the knife and probe and try to get set for Practice, Diagnosis and Pediatrics. When we look back, however, they have been two fine years and if the next two only pass as quickly everything will be O. K. 193.5 il36ll

ft- l'l Qi?-as l ,Sf , Q-I ' H. P. SWISHER ROY DESHAW E. C. WIEGAND VicefPresident President Secretary Class of January '35 AST year at this time we said we were the only bachelor class in K. C. 0, S. and we were rather proud of the fact. However there comes a time in every man's life when some woman steps in. So it was with us. The woman in question was Betty Slaughter and we must admit that she certainly changed things in our classes. No more of those good old man to man jokes with the instructor that we had been accustomed to in the past. However the jokes were not all .good and Betty is a cute little girl, so everything is rosy. There are a few vacant places in the ranks of our class. Each semester it seems that for one reason or another some member has dropped out. Several of the original members have passed on to the upper junior class due to summer school and to ad' vanced credits. Following in the footsteps of others who have gone before we have made an effort to do away with some of the old traditions that outline the treatment of freshmen. We did not as freshmen wear the green caps nor have any freshman rules imposed upon us. In turn when we became sophomores we let the freshmen go unmolested. Three semesters now stretch between us and graduation. We have many things yet to learn in that time and the days will be crowded, but if they are as pleasant as the days that have passed we will be satisfied. 14131 rr . l l35l

QS? ?TlliTl:TllV! P will CIUQI Hill JANE PETERS WAYMAN SHOESTALL For PRIEST Secretary President VicefPresident Class ol: January '36 NE year and onefhalf in Osteopathy is our record to date. just long enough to End out what it is all about and to realize that the next two and onefhalf years will be made up of serious business. Our ship first set sail with A. C. Bigsby in command and had very smooth going, except of course for the usual diiliculty with those sessions in the Pit Chemistry was also a grave hazard to some but we all managed to pull through. In due time the L'Pit became a thing of the past and in place of it came dissection. Some said worse and more of it. Perhaps they were right, but for all the smell we are learning a great deal about anatomy and that is after all the basis of Osteopatby. When viewed from a physical standpoint our class has a great claim to fame. Towering above the rest of us is Paul Donohue, who has to buy two tickets to go to the show. At the other end of the line is Red McCarthy, who can go on a half fare. Two and onefhalf years from now we will all be graduates. Let us hope we make as good doctors as we have friends in school. -l-.om i137ll
