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.

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

It was formed in the spring of 1930, after the need for such an organization had long been felt. Efforts made in the past to organize a governing council for the fraternities had failed, and much opposition was met when the new attempt was made. However, after a great deal of dis' cussion a set of rules and regulations was drawn up and presented to the various fraternif ties. When these rules were accepted the Interfraternity Council was born. The membership of the Council is composed of two representatives from each fra' ternity on the campus. In addition to these twelve members there is also a faculty repref sentative who serves as chairman at all meetings and gives advice, but does not vote. The Council controls in a general way the activities of the various fraternities. It is concerned largely with the rushing of new men at the beginning of each semester. Dates are set by the Council before which rushing may not be done. The active rushfweek and pledging which takes place at the end ofthe week are also taken care of by the Council. Dr. A. D. Becker has served in the capacity of Faculty Chairman and Adviser to the Council since its beginning. Much credit is due Dr. Becker for his help and advice in overcoming the many problems that arise.
