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

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

XQA. at Et, ,ffzi jf? 'Rs ,ex 'Ng as i Q Nfl 41, f 1, 9, fill' ljl iQQfQ CHARLES DIXON WALTER HORN DAN WALKER Secretary President VicefPresident Class of June '36 HE year was 1932, and all was quiet in our changefpockets. Nevertheless we still had the pockets, which was something, and a yen for the Promising Unknown, which was something more. And one ine, sunny September day saw 144 of us rattle through Kirks' ville's dusty Arc de Triomphe and lay in supplies for a fourfyear sojourn at the Osteopathic Mecca. The other two of our group, incidentally, came later on-they were making the trip in one of the Smithsonian Institute's castfoff relics of the Ford Age and thus were a bit tardy. Well, we couldn't blame them. We only wondered how they arrived at all. At any rate it wasn't long before we were all assembled and pondering the vagaries of Cunningham and Arey, and scratching our heads over Gray. Yes, and we're still doing just that! But the intellectual haze is lifting bit by bit under the guidance of a fine faculty, and we're beginning to see a glimmer of hope on the distant horizon. There's plenty of work yet to be done, but plenty of interest to make it taste sweet. And that makes a diff ference. The Sophomores having formally introduced us with a reception and dance soon after our arrival, we responded with another at the gymnasium shortly afterward. The turnfout was as good as the turnfin was late, judging by the number of somnolent countenances in the dawn class Cin the wee small hour of S a. mj the next day. In other words, everybody made hay while the moon shone, and nobody thought of tomorrow until it came. New interests, warm friendships, fascinating work-all have combined to make this a great year for us all. We look back on it, a little sorry to see it go, but completely happy in the prospect of a future laden with opportunities even greater, and work ever more ab' sorbing as we progress one step further toward our osteopathic goal.
