rf' - 1 1 1 Q9 h f2SQfZ9CQ9QJECQ9,QECQ9QJ7?r9 W Q93 9?9?939? lass 1bistorQ of '97 O one who was present at the hrst assemblage of the class, and who has since occupied his seat as a member thereof, the recol- lection of our first meeting must needs provoke a smile-yes, a smile of wild chaotic glee. That first meeting portended not at all of what we were to be. It was with solemn step and sober mien we entered the lecture room on that eventful day, and dropping into the first seat which offered itself awaited, Micawber-like, for something to turn up. An unwonted solemnity pervaded the roomfa solemnity broken only by the swing of the door, followed by the craning of many necks to inspect the new arrival, XVith the advent of the Professor, a still more oppressive silence reigned. How we hung on his every word lfhung as we never hope to hang again. Wle fain would have taken notes on the part of his hair or the cut of his whiskerettes, so great our thirst for medic lore. But now, alas! how changed. For some time we were at a loss to know whom we were. Some said we were juniors, others said we were Freshmen: others, and the great majority, called us D. j's, if you know what that means. But we did not worry long as to our identity, call us what you like. XVhat matters a name? Certain it is, Rush would not survive many seasons without her D, J. class. Behold in us the fountain head, the 51-IIKQIIII mm. Handle us gingerly, Mr. Faculty. This side up with care. II4,
