patients. John Henry has also developed a fatherly manner which leads all the married women patients to make him their confidante. Last summer, Lammie went up to Napa to call on Sandy Mc- Bain. Some of the inhabitants of the Latin quarter tried to prove to him that sunny skies and foot-juiceu are better than fogs and the white liquid of the Hielands. Wfhen the last news was received, the remnants of the band had retired to the tall pines, and Lammie, like Alexander of old, was crying for more worlds to conquer. Mack is a cannie Scott and succeeded in allaying his ardor. The ward was carried as usual by Mark Hanna Kinley, and Edward Pitts was elected to succeed himself in conducting the class to glory. Incidentally, Cockburn wasted a good cigar on Talbot. It is rumored that Adam is about to find his Eve. At any rate he is seriously consmering the purchase of a Garden of Edeni' in the neighborhood of Palo Alto. It is to be hoped that it contains no apple trees. Like Don Quixote, Morton came to grief by contact with one of the arms of an animated windmill, and at present writing is laid up for repairs. VVe also hear that his masticators are not in the best of condition for French Dinners. Extraction patients will please take note. Ross is basking in his glory, and extolling the merits of adhesive plaster for abrasions on the hands. Cox and Marx are disproving all assertions regarding youthful marriages. Their life goes on with the utmost serenity, and they can be seen every day, billing and cooing like a pair of the proverbial turtle-doves. Have you noticed that beatific smile on I. Bfs face of late? Wfe hear that he does not ride in the elevator these days, as he needs constant training in climbing stairs. Never mind jones! Good things come high. The class thought for a time of buying a megaphone for Miss Johnson, but finally decided to save the money to buy a floral piece for Johnnie Cowes, when Nicolai really gets angry. The day that E. Guy won four trays, he and Wfeb opened several packages at College during the noon hour. Freddie Wfilkins has been a good little boy all the year, and as a reward, the Doctor set him up in front of the class and painted his face all nice for him. 31

Senior History He cometh in as a lion, and goeth out as a lambf' ITTLE though we heeded Uncle Joes prophecy in our days of childhood, nevertheless it has come true to a surprising degree. This may be due to the general smoothing effect of the friction with the world about us, which has brought us to a clearer realiza- tion of the seriousness of our work in this, our last year. Qther than the weeding out of a few of the turbulent spirits, there has been very little worth while chronicling. There are a few events, however, too important to pass over, such as dear j'eanette's treason. She had the audacity to choose one who is not of our number, and all the wealth of love we have bestowed upon her these years is to be cast aside for a rank outsider. Mabel has been as true as the star that guides her to her destiny. By far the most auspicious event of the year was the appearance of Tommie's moustache. lt seems a shame to hide that pretty rose-bud mouth, but the tender solicitude and care that was spent surely deserves some reward. If you care to count up, you will observe that the number of words in this paragraph is identical with that of the hairs comprising the subject thereof. Ulsteen seems to wish to emulate Ricks, and divide with him the honors of being general advisor on turf affairs, to the College, faculty includedg but we fear that his information is not on a' par with that of the horseman of the North. A Perhaps you will remember a time some months ago, when Freddie Beamer returned after a couple of days' absence with a saddened demeanor. lt was rumored, but perhaps is not authentic enough to put down in history, that he was one of the chief mourners at the expensive funeral conducted by Rollie NVillbur. NfVe feared for a time that we might lose our Carlo, but he has fortified himself against quitting, by keeping his pedal extremities in a super-heated state. VVe have nothing much to say against Taylor and Cockburn, but it does seem a shame that the married men should draw all the pretty 30

Franko has made an innovation at College in the shape of employ- ing an office-boy. It would be a good stunt if some of the rest of us could get our patients trained in a like manner. Ashie has raised on his prices for cabinet pieces. Wfhat a shame, when we are all broke! Une of the features of our course this year was a special lecture bv Horace McDonald Hays, on The Southern Part of the State as a Place to Locate. We all wish to express our appreciation for his kind intentions, and hope that his investigations may prove fruitful. Gautier can hardly be regarded as a maker of history this year. His best stunt was of a ventriloquistic order, and tool: place during Dr. Marshalls lecture. There is, however, something which ahas left a more vivid impres- sion on our memories than all this fun and folly. It is the one sad event of the year. One who by his quiet dignity had won the respect and love of his classmates, has been taken from among us, and keenly do we feel his loss, 7 -Tv p ,Wil ij X 5 X. .37 fifth -- 92 4 XX X .- , ,M 335 ' 7 W5 I - .B N X be . 5 XA w.-me X 32
