A it i e it In expectant mood we now stand without the threshold of Life. Passing beyond the guiding hand of our Alma Mater we are about to step forward, heeding the call of Life and Battle.

Equipped by training with an armature of broadened minds and armed with the sword of knowledge we await the time of our calling, intrepid and fearless. But hasten not these moments, let their full import Ire impressed indelibly in the mind of each, weigh not lightly the hardships and toil of our gain; weigh no less the mistakes and failings of our past; rather that we should now hesitate and gather unto us our accumulated wisdom that we may better face the awaiting world. Having had imparted to ut a sacred duty that of relieving, in part, suffering humanity—we shall venture forth to perform our work in a manner that shall forever be an honor to our Alma Mater. In this mood, expectant, awaiting and hopeful, we bid grateful ADIEU to our source of learning and knowledge. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY. 7 F. J. Carleton. '22. Jftnjur Jfnniltu 9 tilinirai ;S’taff ll 13 (6psilou iDi'lta 15 tfalcftictimt From lime immemorial, ambition has accelerated the minds of men. It has fortified and strengthened them to endure rebuffs, reverses and hardships to attain their goal. Fach succeeding geneiation has used the knowledge gamed by their forefathers as stepping stones to larger and mor bril'iant achievements. This process is clearly defined in each of the manifold undertakings and paths of endeavor of the world today. We are living in an era of progress, the like of which the svorld has never known. New ideas and inventions are adding to and supplanting the old with amazing rapidity. Mankind has ceased to ridicule or be skeptical of the revolutionary ideas or iiroiteaes ]irr 3ital by Hie Emulative minds of men 1 his widespread sweep to greater knowledge is nowhere better emphasized than in this science of medicine and its allied branches. The evolution has become so vast that it r� well nigh impossible for a single individual to gain the necessary knowledge and experience to perform all the tasks of this vast field in the best possible manner. The realization of this has led men to devote their lives and energies to a specific phase of their profession. The logic and wisdom of this course became apparent but a comparatively few years ago. In the scope of several generations, various schools have been cstabli hed which have for their object the teaching of specialized branches of the medical field This specialization has led to many and varied discoveries which have assisted in the conservation of lives and mcreated the happiness and prosperity of the world's people. As we stand on the brink of our lifework. let us feel grateful to those who. by th:ir efforts and sacrifices, have placed our profrrsion in the high position it has attained. Let us adopt the Universal slogan Forward and strive our utmost to elevate our calling that humanity may benefit by our passing. Realizing the responsibility before us. let us wish each other good luck and God-speed.

(Class jiistim History, according to a recognized authority, is that branch of knowledge which records and explains past events. In the pages to follow I shall record, as best I may. the past events of the Chiropody Class of Twenty-Two and will earnestly endeavor to chronicle each event as it occurred. I he school term opened on September 19. 1921. and the members of the class will well remember the long, impatient line leading to the Registrar's office as we awaited our turn to register and receive our roster. The rosier instructed us as to our classrooms and our Professors. Beside the name of each in truc'or was a mystifying word denoting the subject thru the perp’exities of which he was to guide us. Unfortunately, the roster did not instruct us how we might find our way to the various classrooms and amphitheaters. Result was that we were as in a crystal maze, each requesting of the other informatoin we did not have. We were green” to the ways then, but the fact that we held our first class meeting on September 23 is evidence of the rapidity with which we became accustomed to our new surroundings. At this first meeting, which was held in old D-4. we elected temporary class officers as follows: President. P. Kopicki; Vice President. Mary Langan; Secretary. Irene Lewis; Treasurer. George L Lewis; Sergeant-at-arms. Ray Blefgen: Press Agent. Frank Carleton. In this same month, a most efficient executive committee was appointed, having Frank Law. Tomlinson. Strange. Eisenhart. Jones. Gallion. Griffith. Norton. Cronlund and Hansberry as members. November I was a most eventful day in the history of the class -it was the opening day at our Free Clinic. Previous to this date we had hern practicing on our fellow-classmates. but now we were to actually ojierate on patients. How im| ortant that day did seem! Many a quivering hand and shaky chisel might have been noticed in the clinic that first night. The cause was not thru lack of confidence, but rather thru an excess of enthusiasm. I believe that I exoress the sentiments of the entire class when I say that to operate for the first time is a grand and glorious feeling. At a regular meeting held November 3. 1921. the temporary officers were retired with a vole of thanks and permanent officers were e'ected as fol'ows: Presiden . Jacob H. Bieler; Vice President. Joseph Kantor (later resigned in favor of J. Samsalig) ; Secretary. Mary Langan; Treasurer. Edwin A. Kraft; Sergeant-at-arms. Raymond Blefgen; Press Agent. Frank Grogan. One may remember the lively discussions relative to having a dance which held the floor during most of the class meetings which followed. These soon culminated in the appointment of an Entertainment Committee. Thru their efforts our first dance was held in Carpenter's Hall on December 17. 1921. scoring the class's first social success. This successful committee had as members: Colbs. Norton. Kraft. G. Lewis. Blake. Bill Duffy and Messett. 19 OilnsB Historg, ctmtiiiurfr. In the first week of November. .1 future need wjh pointed out to us in the form of a Pin and Ring Committer. In combining good taste and judgment, the class appointed the Misses Langan. Lewis and Willis. The wisdom of our choice was evidenced by their selection. The new year dawned on a hard-working class of students, striving to assimilate the necessary knowledge to pass those bugbears. mid-year exams. Our success 11 evidenced by our presence. At this period of our school life we had become qui'.e pro-ficient in our clinical work; so much so that 0 larger patronage at our clinic became necessary to keep up with the rapidity of our work. The matter was discussed at several class meetings and the intellect of the class proceeded to devise means of gaining a larger attendance at the clinic. Mi. Strange and Mr. Hans-berry formulated and carried out a very practical idea. Dm consisted of an advertising campaign to include the flashing of a slide on the screen in several moving-picture houses and the printing of Dispensary cards. The resultant attendance at our clinic justified the means. On February 16th there was presented to President Conwell a gift in commemoration of his 79:h birthday. President Bielcr delivered the presentation speech. On February 28th the Entertainment Committee raised the curtain on Us second social event. Eagles’ Hall, the scene of their triumph, was filled to its Capacity. With the coming of March and the onset of spring, the derirability of preserving the memories of our school days was pointed out by several members of the class. The idea met with favor and the following committee was elected: Editor-in-Chief. Joseph G. Keener; Assistant Editors. Francis J. Carleton and J. Samsalig; Business Manager . E. A. Kraft. Paul Bernhardt. Ralph Hansbcrry and Frank Law; Historian. Frank Grogan. The following two months brought the closing lectures and final examinations, the successful passing of which was recompensed by that reward of honest effort—a diploma. Its possession should leave us with a determina'ion to succeed in our profession and to do lionor to the helping hands who have made this possible. June ICth drew the curtain on the history as a class en masse. We are new about to enter ancther great school—the world. It is our determination to work as earnestly and faithfully as members of this new class under the tutelage of experience as we have under the guiding hands of the professors we arc now about to leave. With this, the close of our history. I shall bid my classmates Godspeed in the history to follow. Frank Grogan. Historian. 20 Class prrtphpnj This all hapjxned in the Spring of 1926. If you remember. boys, that was the year in which lire Pennsylvania State Legislature enacted a law requiring three years’ training before one would lie allowed to practice Chiropody. Well, things were humming with me at that time. I had just finished my busiest season in Florida and was pretty well tired out after that campaign we had carritd out down here for a Chiiopodial Examining Board, so I decided on taking a vacation aboard my trim little yacht Chiro. where 1 might relax from the strenuous work of my advancing profession and indulge in blissful idleness before the oniush of the coming season. Having decided on the date of my departure, I packed everything in readiness and overhau'ed the wire'e tel phone set I had installed aboard just the year before. My greatest anxiety was the possibility of being hampered on my trip with loo many friends aboard, so. with the elimination of this m view. I held secret my little escapade until the moment of my departure, having aboard but sufficient hands to man my pride. Chiro. It was on a warm, southcm-like Saturday morning we made our getaway from the landing by the Old Seawall. If you have ever been to St. Augustine you know of the wonderful expanse of water spreading out from the wall clear to the inlet without a slot of land to rnar its quiescent beauty. On the morning of our leasing there was but little wind astir and the water lay translucent, changing its color with the lising of the sun. like a huge chameleon's back. After finishing an early breakfast 1 went up on deck and. walking aft. pulled out a chair and ananged myself for a comfortable sit and proceeded to enjoy my morning smoke. In a reflective mood I extracted from out my pocket a letter I had received but a few day before from Dr. Bicler, the dear old Presy of my class. He wrote, telling of the office lie was running in Phi'adelphia and asked if I could put him in touch with a Chiropodiit who would like to work for him. He had been forced to install another booth (making 20 in all) and was finding it extremely difficult to find an operator. Poor old Presy ! He was up against the same problem as the rest of us—being literally rushed to death. He informed me that Dr. Coffey and Dr. Feldman were working in his offic and that Dr. Montville was one of hi nearby competitors. Enc'cscd in his letter was the announcement of the opening of a new office by Dr Burtis. whose growing cliente'e had forced her to move to larger quarters. My thoughts of Jake caused me to speculate on the probable whereaheu's of the rest of the hoys. The strenuous years that had followed our parting had left hut little time to follow the activities of my classmates. My speculations led to a growing desire to hear from the old pals of Twenty-two. Knowing I could find their addresses in the Chiropodial Directory I entertained for a moment the idea of writing to them all. but the entertainment was for but the moment, for when I recalled the number of classmates I had the honor of graduating with. I promDt'y forgot the idea of writing to each individual. 21 tlnas rojjhfr , continued. Sitting there, dreaming of the old days there came to me ,.n idea, an idea, a Dr. Kurt , might have expressed it. — illy conceived and-—. well, as to its execution, that is to follow. Thought having given rise to a landslide of action. I was soon below in the little operating room containing my wireless telephone apparatus and. with the phones already adjusted to my head. I was tuning up the transmitter for long waves. The transmitter in resonance. I switched the receiver into the selective wave I knew Cape May. New Jersey, was then using in long distance telephony. Drawing the transmitter over and adjusting the filament current in the osc ilia lor, I proceeded to g;t in touch with Cape May. ‘ Hello. Cape May. Yacht Chiro calling off St. Augustine light. In a few seconds the Cape May o| erator answered back. Yacht Chiro received at Cape May. What connection do you wish? I laving committed this in such haste, 1 had forgotten to consult the Cluropodial Directory and was at a loss to know just which one of the boys to call, so requesting the operator to stand by for a call in half an hour. I switched off the transmitter and proceeded to look over the Directory. Who should I start with? It was a problem not easily solved, but I finally decided to call the bunch in alphabetical order, so. accordingly. I started writing a list of names and telephone numbers. I knew it would be a simple matter, after establishing communication with Cape May. to be connected with the mam office of the Bell Telephone Company, and from there I could be connected by phone with each of the boys in turn. It was past the half hour I had specified when I finally completed the list and it required several calls to Cape May before communication was established, but the service was excellent and I was soon talking to the wireless controlling operator at the main Bell station. Hello, give me Spruce 56-B.” In an incredibly short space of time there was an answering voice and. though four year had elapsed since I had heard it. there was now no mi:taking the cheery Hello! of Tommy Allen. Tommy proceeded to tell me how he was running hi aunt's office on Chestnut street and that he hardly had time to breathe between patients and that Dr. Bell was working with him. but found lime for appointments only and that Dr. Hite had become bis chief operator. He aho lo'd me of a visit he had received the day before from Dr. Griffith and Dr. F.iscnhart. who were both in business in Philadelphia and doing fine. Inquiring about Dr. Blake. Tommy told me she was doing wonderfu'.'y well in Collingswood. but that he thought she would soon divorce Chiropody in favor of a more ardent suitor. He also whispered of a rumor that Dr. Bradley had accumulated so much wealth in Chester that he was considering buying another Packard Six. Being pressed for time. Tommy could spare not another moment, but hastily excused himself and, with an exchange of good wishes, we hung up. Well, my plan was working out far bett-r than 1 had anticipated. I had expected to hear only from Dr. Allen and had learned the whereabouts of six of my old classmates. Class ropltetty continued. Thinking the mailer over, I decided to call Dr. Blefgen next, believing he might be able to inform me about quite a number of the boy . By this tune the operator was awaiting my call. Walnut 21-Q. please. ft was but a matter of second when a deep, gruff Hello vibrated the diaphragm of my receiver. ''Hello. Sergeant-al-Arms! What the-------. But it wou'd take too long to repeat the conversation which ensued. Sufficient to say that Rav was ‘itua'.ed in Philly suburbs. doing a fine busineis and had on his staff of operators Dr. I.evin. Dr. W. H. Jones and Dr. Eckstein, who. as he said, were absolutely essential to hi business. Inquiring about the test of the bunch, lie told me of the phenomenal succe s of Dr. Horrocks. who had his office in the center of the city, and about Dr Strange, who had made a bri'lianl success after completing a special course in Orthopedics. In hi own cheery style. Ray went on to tell me about Dr. Kantor and Dr. Tomlinson, who were also situated in Philly and doing fine. And then there was Dr. Coll and Dr. V. H. Duffy, both doing a remarkable business in the Quaker City. Not wishing to encroach on much more of Ray's valuable time. I wished him the best of luck and proceeded to get the operator hack on the line. Hastily tunning over my list. I found there Were but few remaining of the hunch who were likely to have se'llrd in Phi’adelphia. Picking Dr. Kraft as being the most likely of those remaining to have the information I desired. I requested the operator to give me Walnut 3.V16. A young lady's voice answered my call and. after stating that I wished to Ini'- to Dr. Kraft. I was told to hold the line. And I carried out my instructions for exactly twelve minutes before the crisp voice of Eddie inquired my Who. What and Why. Hearty greetings followed and Eddie started to chat in hi old. pleasing style. The boys? Oh. yes! There wa Dr. Sli-winski and Dr. Scyfert. who were thriving in their own offices in Manayunk. and there was Dr. M. Rubin. Dr. Pcnnick and Dr. S. Rubin climbing the golden ladder of success in the heart of the city. Dr. Cronlund. he had heard, was doing an excellent business in Bryn Athyn. After chatting a while over old time , he recalled that Dr. P. L. Jonrs had opened in Camden, where he wa reported as doing a 'arge busine s and remarked that Dr. Harris and Dr. Hardy each had an office in the city and both were making a success of their profession. Reluctant to hang up before hearing of a few more of the dear old hunch. I haiti'y inquired about Dr. Kelley, who. I learned, was in his fourth year of Medicine at Temple, and that Dr. McHa'e wa running one of the largest offices in Philly. having Dr Willis as a va’uablc asset. Last, but of greatest import, he informed me hat Dr. Norton had become chairman of the State Chirooodial Examining Boaid. thru whose influence Dr. McParlland and Dr. Messetl had just been appointed to fill positions under him as examiners. About to say good-bye. Eddie suddenly remembered that Dr. Nowicki was to graduate from Temple Dental College in June with honors and planned cn returning to Scranton to practice. Feeling that I had already impored on Eddie's good nature. I apologised for taking up so much of his time and then prepared for my next move. I had covered about all of the lower end of the tate and 23 Qllnss propltrcw, Ccwtinurb. my next object wa to get in touch with some of the up staters ( coal-crackers. if you will), so 1 immediately set about getting connection with the Wilkes-Barre operator, who lost but little time in ringing up the offices of Dr. Lewis. It was George who answered the '| hone. and what a line of chatter he did have! Yes. he had seen all the boys up that way at the last banquet of the Alumni held in Scranton. Irene? Oh. yes. she was there filling in appointments only. He emphasized only so heavily that I forced an explanation which was— well, you know how we can become otherwise engaged at times. And then there was Dr. Langan. who had closed her office during evening houn because - . but that has nothing to do with the large clientele she was administering relief to. It seems that George had quite a long chat with Dr. Grogan at the banquet; Frank was in business with his brother Dinty. forcing the public at Scranton to concede to them the laurels of their profession. Carrying on a keen competition was Dr. Kirst and Dr. Samsalig. Dr. G. R. Duffy represented Carbondalc at the banquet anti presented a very successful appearance. Potto ville was successfully repreiented by its leading chiropodist. Dr. Law. Failing none. George retailed to me the successful story of Dr Keener, who was in businers with his father in Pittsburgh, and of Dr. Bernhardt’s rapid rise in the same city. There was also a letter read at the alumni meeting from Dr. Hutchins, expressing his legrel at being unable to attend due to his inability to leave his laige clientele in Portsmouth, Va., for the time that the trip would necessitate. Returning to more local news, there was Dr. F.vans doing a handsome business, and Dr. Kopicki in the city with an office force of ten operators and he managed to keep them all busy at the same time. It had been rumored at the banquet that Dr. Hansberry had become very prominent in Germantown. Pa., where be was considered one of the leading chiropodists of the city. It was thru Irene that George learned of Dr. Ostrum’s office at Atlantic City, where her clientele kept her busy. Sunbury had been boosted high at the banquet by its successful representative of the profession. Dr. Wendt. Dr. McGuire had left his large practice in New York for a few days to visit his home town and attend the banquet. Georg? rounded up the old crowd by telling me of Dr. Louchs' successful practice in York. Pa., and started to tell me tome of the latest scandal around Wilkes-Barre, but. at this point, the filament in the oscillator suddenly burned out and before I had time to replace it. George had hung ut , leaving me alone with a mind so confused with news that ] had but little desire remaining to do any further calling. Glancing at the list of names I had on the desk before me. I found that I had checked off every name on it. It hardly seemed possible that I had received news of each one of my classmates in such a comparatively short space of time, yet there had elapsed but three hours since I had called Cape May the first tune. My morning's work had certainly furnished me with a plenti-tud? of food for thought, so finding my way to the deck again. I repaired to my chair and. in reflective mood, pondered over the wonderful news I had received. As I «at there a sense of pride pervaded me; there was an incomparable feeling of satisfaction in the thought that I. too. had been a member of Temple University’s greatest Chiropody Class, the Class of Nineteen I wenty-two. FRANK J. CARLETON. 'll. 24 fill ass Did you ever ga e at the sky on a Moonlight night when the fleecy clouds pass o’er The small disc so bright? But this for but A second—and with what fancy you do Picture those reeds of vapor as ogres And dragons and such; and. as you gaze, all The cares and troubles of the day vanish And you dream of wondrous worlds. Wh.it a Beautiful scene to behold and what a Myriad of fanciful dreamt unfold. Last night the flimsy clouds sailed serenely In a heaven of dotted midnight blue. As I sat enthralled my soul fell the urge Of the Dream Sprite—and in her company I journeyed to the land of Make Believe. There everything took on symbolic terms. I saw the moon as the Light of Knowledge: The wispy clouds as members of our class. Presently the Dream Spri'e beckoned to me And we entered a great theatre whose Dome was the heavens and whose stage was earth. We had no more than seated ourselves on The ed� e of a cloud when the light mist cleared And a play was enacted. From out of Oblivion sprang ethereal forms. Which, passing heavenward and approaching The bright sphere of the moon took a firm form. These, as � hey pasted the glowing disc were bathed In fh Light of Knowledge were illumined pnrut Until they (airly shone with brightness. But Not all I saw were bathed alike. Some fell By the wayside and were seen but iaintly. Others passed by the side—and still others Were seen only to disappear in space. I sat ruminating over these things Hardly crediting my senses— When lo! There came a glow from out the eastern sky Crowning the clouds with gold and richest hues. It was the false promise of burning Greed. And many of the clouds absorbed in the False pursuit—withered in disappointment And delusion when his true character Was revealed in his fierce selfish passion. But the others—listening to the great call Of humanity -descended to earth As rain, and with their soothing, cooling aid Guided the footsteps of a suffering race Along the pathways of a freshened world. I turned—the Sprite had vanished. The mist came. Enveloping all. I felt myself fall Through vast space downward—downward I awoke. 1 picked myself up from the dewy grass Upon which I lay. Fired by my vision 1 walked homeward wrapt in thousht—my wav clear. The world before me Perhaps. TWENTY-TWO. You will find the answer you seeketh here. J. G. KEENER. JR.

We have found any number of clinical symptoms recorded in Billy’s plays, but not a word of who the Shifter was who treated them. Too bad Billy didn't supply one of the characters in King Henry VI with a little ichtholatcd collodian, for we feel sure that the dear Duchess whom Glostei awaited that cold mid-winter day had a mild case of Pernio for. did she not complain on her arrival that the ruthless flint doth cut my tcnd;r feet---” And. when we think of the dear, dainty women of this period suffering the sharp pain of Melomsta. how sorrowful we feel that there was no dextrous hand to manipulate a shining Teufel chisel o'er their dainty digits. What! They had no corns? Ihink back to your classic days and recall the scene of Capulet’s feast from Romm and Juliet. Doubtless you will remember Capulrt's gallant speech as he starts the dance: Welcome, gentlemen: ladies that have thrir toes Unplagued with corns, will have a bout with you. Ah! Ah! My mistresses, which of you oil Will now deny to dance? Sh“ that makes diinty She. Ill swear, hath corns: Am 1 come near ye now? What could fair Juliet do in he face of such a challenge? There were no keep smiling cards in circulation during this period, but their mission was carried out equally as well by the fools and jesters of the court, as was evidenced by the fool in King Lear who. in trying to turn the old king's wrath to mirth, makes jest: The man that makes his toe What he his heart should make Shall of a corn cry Woe. But just what friend Bill and his fellow-men did for these painful digit has been impossible for us to ascertain. After much study and research, wc have come to the conclusion that Willie had a secret corn remedy and that all this Verse was but blind advertising. Ancient Locks Furthermore, we just can't understand why Bill didnt tell us about the line of demarcation on that poor old duller’ leg that Sicinus speaks of in Corolinus”: Sicinus: “He’s a disease that must be cut away. Mcncnius: Oh, he‘� a limb that has but a disease: Mor.al to cut it off. to cure it easy - ----the service of the fool Bring once gangren'd is not then respected For what before it was. But, be that as it may. there is no room for doubt in our minds but that a sample of Allens Foot Ease” would have been a boon to poor old IVruchio and K.i'herina. those inimitable charact n in the Taming of the Shrew who. tired and footsore from walking, after being thrown from their horses, arrive at court in the agonies of podalgia. Petruchio mikes haste to demand of his servant: Olf with my boots, you rogue, you villain when? Out. you togue! You plucked my foot awry! Take that! And mend the plucking of the other. Where are my slippers? It seems a deplorable fact that Bill knew so little about st-apping and arch supports that he should find it necessary to portray one of hii characters in King John as one pied pot taylor who: Standing on contrary slippers, which in his nimble haste Had falsely thrust upon contrary feet. But that Willie recognized a shapely foot (as any observing mile would) we arr convinced of by his princely description of Cressida in Tioilus and Crcssida thusly: Fie. fie upon her! There’s language in her eye. her check, her lip. Nay. her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out At every joint. But here again he failed to state the proper treatment of such a foot. But. in this case, we shall be content to devise our own method of procedure—feeling confident of our ability. FRANK J. CARLETON. 72. A NIGHT AT THE CLINIC. (A tragedy in a little less than one act.)

What could a body do? Jake was a man of ready wit. But I am interrogative. I wonder where he got that phrase: “Use your own prerogative ? Here I am Lonely- No more company— Cast of! a any old rag; Seems nobody want me. Guess I am thru; Guess I was naught but a drag. I’m done. He won, that Chiropodist chap.
