Nineteen Twenty-nine Senior Year With the beginning of a new term, we returned, eager to resume our journey. Examinations had taken their toll and now but fifteen hardy travelers remained, more closely united than ever before. We assumed our new obligations and responsibilities with a spirit and enthusiasm which knew no bounds. This year will prove to be not only one of the most important of our own lives, but also one of the most progressive in the history of the School of Chiropody. At the beginning of the second semester we moved into our new clinic and several new subjects were added to our curriculum. The familiar anteroom was dismantled, and new classrooms were found for our use. In conjunction with the Junior Class, we decided to publish a year book of more ambitious proportions than had ever l efore been attempted by a Chiropody Class. Studies again occupied much of our time. We found our new courses both interesting and helpful, and gained valuable experience in the Clinic. The brighter side of our school life was still evident. The sessions between classes were more enjoyable than ever, with Lebo, Besser, Shuster, and Our Nell numbered among the chief entertainers. A Hallowe’en Party, which was attended by a large majority of both the Junior and Senior classes, duplicated the success of our parties held during the Junior ''t ear. It served the purpose of bringing the two classes closer together, aud much of the harmony and cooperation which exists between them may he attributed to it. So we journey on, with a determination and steadfastness of purpose which can result only in the realization of our ambition. The goal is in sight. We view it joyously, but at the same time our hearts are Saddened by the thought that when il is reached, our journey is ended. When the time has come to part, and to pursue our varied courses on the journey of Life, we shall leave imbued with the knowledge that our association during these two years has been of immeasurable value to us.

Class History CHIROPODY £ W VVSSING years dull the keen edge of Memory. It is the purpose of this brief ! and somewhat inaccurate History to recall to you some of the important incidents which have occurred during our sojourn at Temple. These two years will be among the most important of our lives. During them we have laid the foundation for our careers—and for our futures. If this record brings back recollections of friendships made, battles lost and won, and some of the joys and pleasures of our association, your Historian shall feel that his efforts have not been in vain. It was on September 19, 1927, that twenty-two intrepid souls, members of the Junior Class, wended their way through subterranean passages to the Chiropody anteroom, there to begin a journey which was to end two years later at the coveted goal—Graduation and a Profession. We soon learned that this journey was not to be undertaken lightly. Many obstacles beset our path—obstacles which could be surmounted only by perseverance and close application to our work in classroom and clinic. Little time was lost in becoming organized as a class. Class officers were elected, and we began to take a prominent part in the activities of the school. By close association we developed a class spirit which was remarkable. Mid-Year examinations came and went. To some, they proved the value of long hours of study—to others they were a warning of the pitfalls waiting to catch the unwary. But our journey was not always over dangerous paths. Who among us can ever forget the pleasant hours we spent together between classes? Long after we have been graduated memories of newspaper bonfires. Slaw’s hourly pilgrimages, Besser’s imitations of anything imaginable—to mention only a few' incidents—will linger with us. Our first party—a banquet held February 14th, at Harry’s, w'as a rousing success. Wagner and Meehan’s rendition of “Two Little Pretty Birds”, was one of the many enjoyable features of that hectic evening. We enjoyed our first affair so much that on March 20th, a party was held at Maud Kraeber’s, which surpassed in enjoyment and entertainment all our previous efforts. During the last few months of the school term, time fairly flew. Day followed day, week followed week, and month followed month in such quick succession that all too soon the end of the school year approached. We held our hist party—a farewell banquet to which the Seniors were invited—then came final examinations and vacation. Thus we traveled the first half of our journey,—now rapidly and with ease, and again slowly and with difficulty, but always with our faces toward the coveted goal. Page Twenty-eight
