Mr. McDaniels was kept constantly busy taking the place of the demonstrators, instructing the Seniors how to do first-class work. Gonzie was also a busy man, giving his patients many soothing applications of hot-air. iiDLl1111lC'v was never idle. He was in a perfect trance, dreaming constantly of the greatness achieved by a steady hand. Mr. Elworthy worked with a -lunior's zeal, even though he did find occasion to worry that he might have applied arsenic to the gum tissue at the bifurcation of a root instead of the pulp. Ross as usual was in trouble and took a few days' vacation at Dr. Litton's request. Mr. Wlendt was the victim of Mr. VVarren's first cleaning case, and right you are if you say it was done in a most excellent manner. Dear Miss Racine took her First lessons in applying the rubber dam. Even with all her troubles she was never heard to find a fault, but always had sweet smiles and happy thoughts for us. It was here, too, that we first learned that Jeanette thought of us no longer and was going to take her Leon and give up all thoughts of dentistry. Our Y'outlzful:Looking Professor Une day Quinn, a prospective Freshman Qwho is still prospect? ingj, saw Dr. Hodgen looking at the bulletin board out at college and braced up to him. The doctor had an armful of books, so Quinn opened up his remarks with, Hello! you must expect to do a h-l of a lot of studying. Are you a Freshman P Dr. Hodgen-1'No.', Quinn-HI-Iow long have you been here ? Dr. Hodgen- Oh, about lifteen years. Insomnia? Morphine or laudanum you ne'er will need, If only this advice you'll heed: Whe1ie'er in vain for sleep you pray, Take from its place your old friend Gray, Like soothing syrup to the babe, so he VVill act on you, at least he does on me. 81

Jummer at the Infirmary Theres a time in each year VVhich some ot us fear, Good old summer time, Some boys they go home And leave us alone, In the good old summer time. The infirmary is open, The prof's so have spoken, And there is where we spend our time. 'Tis very annoying The rest are enjoying The good old summer time. CHORUS : ln the good old summer time, ln the good old summer time, Wfaiting at the dental chair, Spending all your time, Oh, Prof, you pray, this very day, Some patient to me assign, That T may nnish my operating, Before next summer time. lilehold ! a new era has arrived. The Freshman is no longer, and the junior has taken on the dignity of a Senior. The vacation is at hand with all its joys, but still the lnfirmary is not deserted. lf you should look in, you would see the contented smiles of new-made juniors, happy because of the chance to operate, and Seniors triumphant because no longer are they compelled to take the worst cases in college. The gold illings, too, which have been in store are finally at hand. Not all the students take advantage of this summer work, but those who do have the opportunity, find themselves much more capable when the new term opens. Recalling the eager workmen of the past summer, we see to our surprise the face of dear Homer lust imagine Old Happy work- ing from nine until five! But he did, and then smoked the old brand cigarette and not the bitU cigar. SO

DR. READING .H Junior Favorite When it's up to us we call on you, CAnd calls like these are far from few.j You're there with bells when we're afraid, And things come easy with your aid. Heller and His Friend If there ever was an industrious youth it is Heller. He not only works hard himself, but has his friends work for him-especially that particular friend who sits in his chair most of the time, or on a stool at his feet Watching him operate. She happened to come up to college one day, and, while waiting for Heller, became interested in another patient, a lady who had not yet been signed for work. Heller's friend thought she saw a chance to do a little touting so she said, Just wait a minute and Dr. Heller will fix you up.', DL Heller threw a Winsome smile at the prospective patient, which dazzled her, and before she could recover he had her in his chair, making an examination of her mouth. Dr. Sullivan had been an interested observer of this little drama, and he thought it about time for the entrance of the hero to rescue the fair maiden from the clutches of the villain, so he stalked over and in a few gentle and well- chosen words informed all parties that it was his business to assign the patients. Quick curtain, the gallery cheering because the villain is foiled again. S2
