I it Y THE REP1eECToR 32 4 wiv Q E? 1' X! If a lady's in the chair, He has the right to muss her hair' Wipe the powder from her lips, Caress her cheeks with finger tips. If she grasps his arm in pain, He gently takes that hand again, Places it on her lap or chair, And for one second holds it there. Or he may become sincere, Watch her eyes when pain is near, Gently ask her if it hurts, Guarding his manner lest she flirts. Or he may say Please open wide,'l just to get his bur inside. K. W. MooRE. 7 iststurp of the Qilazs nf '17 as jfmsb In September, 1914, trains coming from the north, south, east, and west brought to the City of Buffalo a motley crew of individuals and turned them loose on the unsuspecting citizens. This throng began its existence as a class, September 21st, when they adorned the corridors of the Dental Building for the first time. They had little idea of the stony path that lay between them and their chosen profession. September 22nd, the first stone was rolled over when the tech- nic instruments were checkedup and, the following day, their trials began when the first beeswax impression was taken. A few days later they waded into a barrel of mud, and after many weeks of strenuous labor they moulded objects which in some respects re- sembled teeth. On Qctober 3rd, the entire department was out to Dr. Squire's summer home on Lake Erie. It is needless to say that the Freshmen were there to the man. Athletic events of all descriptions were en- joyed, the Frosh cleaning house for the two Upper Classes. Abbey carried off the honors on the football field by fracturing his malar bone, this unfortunate incident saved the Upper Classmen from a disastrous defeat. Next came the baseball game. Here again the Frosh carried off the honors of the day, due to the efficient work of the batteries. Then followed the races, and again the Frosh 103

I 1 ' THE REFLECTORIIE 32 4 V Q E I take a slant out the window and see a grey car go whirling past, it returns, I recognize it as the Murder Carvg it stops and out jumps Shapiro. What is he doing? There is something invisible which he starts throwing about in all direc- tions. I-Ie enters the lab, suddenly his throwing is cut short by Wild Mac, who shouts 'cSay, Shap, tie that BULL you're throwing, OUTSIDEI' Shap looks sore but keeps his peace. The room does not feel right, someone is missing, horrors, it is Korn. Korn is gone, I shout, and promptly everyone faints. Larkin who is the first to revive, dives into the extracting room and wheels in the nitrous oxide machine and turns on the oxygen. Everybody recuperates, and work is resumed as usual. It was later discovered that Korn had been downstairs to plank down two bits on account. The time Hies, it is almost five o'clock. Jimmy enters amid much applause and gently warbles, Are youse guys going home tonight? Iwanta clean up . Pantera, the Secretary of the Crabberls Club, grows indignant and reprimands him, and as it is still ONE MINUTE of FIVE, poor Jimmy is ousted out amid the yells and jeers of the Crabbing Brothers. Telephone bell rings, a sweet female voice is transmitted over the wire. Oh, a peach. NO, it is only Miss Bryant asking for the vulcanizers and electric furnaces. The same old gag about the vulcanizers not going up is pulled and the office force falls for it again. Twenty minutes later, Jimmy enters with a young cannon under each arm, a gun in each hand and a sword between his teeth, All outln he hisses, and un- willingly the class retires to the locker room, the quartet singing, 'We Cannot Work, Because Jimmy Fired Us Out. Qpplteb Eunice If a grouch is in the chair, The dentist feels he doesn't care. Pokes a plugger in his lip, Scowls a bit, and says it slippedfl If a sore spot can be found, Says '4It must be cut and ground. Takes the right to kill a nerve, Makes his patient kick and swerve.

X ae TI-Il: REF LLTOR ? ll came out victorious, due to the all-around work of Pamrnenter, Mil- carek, and Hickey. The call was then sounded for dinner, which was enjoyed by all those present. In the evening, Dr. Squire's home was thrown open and dancing was enjoyed. All returned to Buffalo at a late hour, declaring that they had spent a most delightful day. The next event on the social calendar was a smoker, given by the Delta Sigma Delta, at their Frat House, in honor of 717. The smokes and eats will long be remembered by those present. Soon after this eventful night, the juniors prepared a surprise, for as the poor, unsuspecting Frosh were returning to their daily lab duties, they were greeted with much rope and an abundance of paint. How- ever, it was only after a most strenuous struggle that the Upper Classmen succeeded in parading about thirty of their unfortunate victims down Blain Street, until they were stopped by the police. A few days after this battle royal, the Xi Psi Phi treated the Fresh- men to another smoker. A very pleasant evening was spent, and a few remarks from various members of the faculty were enjoyed. The Seniors, at last feeling the necessity of organizing the Frosh, called a class meeting, at which the following officers were elected: P1'e51'df1zZ, H. A. Wvhite Vfff-P7'E5fdE7lf, H. A. hflcfiinley Treasurer, H. H. Hickey Sec1'eZcz1'y, T. E. jones The organization of the class was followed by many half holi- days, in a vain attempt to make Hastings' Theatre Party a success. This continued until warned of the State Requirements, by Dr. Squires. However, all the important days received due recognition from the Class of ,I7, because the class absolutely refused to work on such days as St. Patrick's, and the days when all the Frosh were busily engaged in filling their suit cases at the Dental Conven- tion. There were also several days spent in rounding up the juniors for such special occasions as the banquets and the like. Few Freshmen will ever forget the remarkable plaster impression taken of Murphy7s QSilverburgD mouth, by F. L. jones. Then came the making of the instruments, and an atmosphere of profanity in the Freshmen Lab. VVhere it originated, Nlrs. Hobin can best tell. Spring came at last, and the Frosh, with their usual pep, collected 104
