And yet he must reveal something of the will be, would be and ought to be of his fellow-students. It seemed that all searching for a revelation would be in vain, when to his relief he was informed by a pro-fessor of science that one in the sixth stage or degree of hypnotism ,knows all that any person can know. The next problem was to get pa victim who might be in- ducedto make the desired revela.tion. How this was brought about will remain a secret, and whether the reader wishes to believe thatrthe following was o-btained in this way, or is the result of the writer's own imagination, is a matter of little concern. c Time would not permit us to- bring up before our all-knowing friend the names o-f every member of the class. Wfe first inquired concerning our first president, Dr. -I. G. Bald- win, who, weiind, is one of the--many in our class who took a notion which they thought beat their former notio-n all- to p-ieces. and so we find the Doctor holding the presidential chair in the university of Shiloe, a new but thriving town in Alaska. Our junior president, Dr. E. T. Hull, although a successful spe- cialist in prosthetic dentistry for a number of years, may now be heard above all the other noises in and abo-ut the Union Depot in Detroit, calling out, HAH aboard for Buffalo, Albanyf, etc. He seems to have made a good hit. Dr. M. D. Nisbet, our honorable senior president, with his per- sistent, never-daunted ambition, still holds a leading place in the practice of dentistry, as well as hlling the chair Qand not a very small V 102

chair at thatj of operative dentistry in Dr. Thomas Colemanis Col- lege of Dental Surgery. Of course, he has to toe the mark, but he is willing todo tha.t to the tune o-f S-- per year. The gre-at demand for the services of Dr. F. N. Pellett is under- stood -when we remember tha.t whatever he undertakes to do must be do-ne right. His love for orth-odontia has led him to make that a specia1lty,'although he can do most everything else better than cor- rect malformities of the teeth. This Dr. H. M. Brock seems to have become proficient in, as he began making orthod-ontia a spe- cialty before he reached his senior year. No one appreciates the fact that it takes a wide-awake man to make a success in any line better than does our friend Northwoodg and so We find him introducing to the world a discovery which en- ables man to get alo-ng Without sleep. It certainly beats dentistry. Dr. M. R. Nelson, having made a little fortune, retires from the profession and spends much of his time teaching kids to do the cake- walk. He was always a lo-ver of pedestrian art. - Our friend Landon is busily engaged in a little town in southern Iliinois, forming -and attaching ferric appendages to the ventral asp-ect o-f the pedicels of the equestrian and bova.rian tribes, and is a very conscientious Workman. Dr. C. S. Kramer is successor to Prof. ,Wiggiii and holds the chair in physiology and bath-ology at the N. TU. D. S. This shows what a push and a pull can do for a fellow who gets up before breakfast in the mo-rning. l VVe never expected our friend King to stick to dentistry, but we find him still trying to pass state boards to get a license to prac- tices There is some rumor, however, that he isabout to accept a po- sition in one of the leading circuses in the country. Our boys seem to get in with the 'fleadersf' Although Dr. Lovitt has made a grand success at dentistry, it appears that he does not lo-ve it any more, and has retired with his family to his farm in the East. Dr. A. A.. Mahle is making himself famous through his coin- munications with the inhabitants of Mars. He thinks there is a line opening over there- a snap -and may go over on the next excur- sion to form a trust But we must not let our interest in Matlijle lead us to forget the young ladies of our class. As a gold worker, no one can outdo the good-natured and kind Dr. Myrtle jane 103
