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

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

Middleton with his Schmitz-like beard, came all the way from Ohio and is the envy of his fellows, at least his beard is. Philadelphia gave us McLaughlin, who shines so brilliantly in Sully,' lectures when the curtains are down. Stewartand Packard cameto us from Chicago, and Humphreys hails from the South, though they do say it never hails there. Such material added to the splendid resources gathered from our Freshmen year should indeed carry us over those ob ects that perchance may fall in our way. As a class we have not conducted ourselves in such a manner as to attract reporters or brought about any noteworthy disturbances, unless we mention the rough house with the l7reshies when so many took to the tall pines to escape a ducking they rightly deserved. XfVe boast, however, of a few characteristic individuals, and may mention inci- dences connected with them. Sunny Tim, for instance, how brave he looked as he stood firmly on that block of his, holding at bay his enraged classmates who threatened him with the water-cure.', lt took sand, Timmy, old boy. Also of note are Foxy Grandpa Dungan, and Pop Dinsmorc, whose specialty is Parkology. The fair ones say that singly or in combination, they are irresistible. For the amusement of the class, Qld Joe Clark awakes from his lethargy and wtih Doll-like swings, demonstrates how he whipped the Janitor. McDaniels and Rodolph H11 the air with their sweet melodies. Olwell, the silent Harvey of baseball fame, 'spiels on the batting records of the various fans I Brown gives us his idea of color-blindness, and Lane his theory on how and when to make a bluff. The earnest labors of Moore and Minahen, our Editor and Man- ager of Chaff, speak for themselves, and to Pres. Graham we are grateful for the fatherly interest he has shown us. Of his able assistant, Rhodes. we can truly say, Uthere is no dust on him. For two long years with zeal and determination so characteristic of the class of '04, we have struggled, and struggled successfully. But so much for the past: what the future holds in store for us, none can sav. 'We may, however, place some faith in the old truth that History repeats itself, and hope that the remaining year will be as successful as the last two have been. 34
