As all organizations have their leaders, so we, of course, had ours, and holding a meeting we again elected class officers: Richard Johnson. President ; George McLaughlin, Vice-President; William Glynn, Secretary, and Ewell J. Laishe, Treasurer. Work commenced with a vim, as the Junior year is the hard year of programme was the making of a depositing plate. Well, we all learned that soft solder would cover all holes burned in our plates, and that oil would cover checks in porcelain teeth. James (alias •• Spike ”) McKee and Clifford Mara took upon themselves the exalted position of demonstrators, and instructed the class in the methods employed when cleaning crowns and silver plates with nitric acid. The crowns and plates disappeared as if touched by a magic wand. We also learned, by experience, that a certain spirit existed at college. Some unseen force that caused everything, not anchored, to mysteriously disappear. The Lord helps those who help themselves. We proceeded to enlighten the weak and sickly Freshman class in regard to their various duties, and also to feel inferior to the mighty Junior Class. We endeavored to make crowns and bridges from German silver that had the density and resistance of armor plate. Our duties were so arduous this year Elizabeth Fruehan, was unable to keep awake during lectures. This year was our first experience in the Chemical Laboratory, and discoveries were made that would turn the well-known chemists green with envy, even when the substance analyzed consisted of Schuylkill water only. The Junior Class was entertained at a dance given to the college by the Freshman Class, at Odd Fellows Temple. All voted the Freshman Class as typical entertainers.

One of the features of the occasion was the recitation given by that orator. Dr. Dolman, entitled. “ The Courtship of Short Pete and Lady Lil.

One of our classmates, who is our beloved President, organized the first baseball team that ever had the honor to represent this college. It has never known defeat. Again came the daysof uneasiness that isalways prevalent just before examinations. Here and there could he discerned groups of students, endeavoring to make themselves believe that each one knew just what questions and knotty problems were to be asked. Our examinations this year were, half of them, final; and the students existed on a special diet of Anatomy, Physiology and Chemistry. They were tinally over, and the students were busily engaged endeavoring to get their trunks from their respective “ Uncles, in order that they might leave for home to enjoy a well-earned rest. Thus, the Junior Class ended its year, the first of May. nineteen hundred. The third and last epoch of our history commenced with the beginning of our final and Senior year, the first of October, nineteen hundred. Being a wonderful class, there was a great deal of strife for the offices ot this class. Election was held and the following deserving gentlemen were elected to office: John Bauman, President; Lee Pittinger, Vice-President; Joseph Smythe, Secretary ; Joseph Amyot, Treasurer, and Joseph Carroll. Valedictorian. One of out classmates was appointed Reporter of the Stomatologist (the College paper), by the Editor. The class and its officers considered themselves insulted by his. the reporter’s remarks, through the columns of said paper, and he wfa$ asked to hand in his resignation, which request he complied with. Mr. Roy VanWagner was elected to the position by the class. William Petherbridge was elected Class Orator, but declined and Melvin Hues-ton was chosen unanimously in his place. Guy King was elected Class Prophet; John P. Yocum, Class Poet; Charles Jaco, Editor of the Class Book, and Harry Sterling, President of the Garretsonian Society. 38 Jjc k um«n Irad.nc Uir.J «fi.i ih» I . D. Football G»m».
