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

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

K HAT of interest do we find in a -lunior Class History? Wie have passed through the interesting stage of childhood when Freshmen, and now Dental College life is somewhat of a sad reality. lVe now see how widely different and more difficult it is to make a practical. plate ht as well as a dummy, how gold fillings that looked so pretty in tooth forms have such an awkward tendency to fall when placed in a patientls mouth. VVe learn that dam rubber and other blessings in the way of dental appliances are very apt to be at first as much of a discomfort to ourselves as to our patients. O! How we shook and trembled as we sat our first victim in the chair and perhaps told him he must have that deciduous bicuspid extracted. But all this strangeness soon wore off and now we bid fair to become dignified seniors. The beginning of this term found us with a few new faces in our midst, and some that should be with us were not in evidence. Chan, our bright Chinese friend, has dropped from our ranks, and, of all wonders, the inseparables separated, Wfarren remaining as one of our shining lights and Chatfield carrying to Penn. Dental our best wishes for a successful college career. I These new ones were supplied by several well-known institutions such as the P. and S., to whom we are indebted for her Keys, also the tall English gents, together with Heller, the love-lorn lad, and Lane, the amoeboid wanderer. Also the great Dr. Scott, to whom many are so thankful for their sore arms. 33
