Ellyn' Qllinir. 15112 17 About the Iirst of tlctober, NUS, founrl us gladly presenting these diplomas to Ilii- Dean. lle accepted them, took down our nares and at last we were medical slllflclll-r. Eagcrly we went from room to room absorbing those mysterious facts that we had so long sought for. Ilut our dreams were not lo be realized without some trouble XVe were Freshmen and there was a certain amount of hazing coming our way. The lirst rush occurred in Room 26. We had been expecting it, so at the sugges- tion of some one in the class we turned up the sleeve of our right arm that it niighl be a sign to enable us to tell those belonging to our own class. The rush came, our preparations were complete, so naturally to suppose we won. This elated us, and from that time on we have been prepared for any class conflict. The election of class olilicers was our next duty. As soon as possible a meeting was called and our organization into an immortal unit took place. .Ns a result, the following men were chosen: l'resident. XY. T. Klcklahong Yice-I'resident. ll. I1 XYilliams1 Secretary, A. C. Shannong 'Tl1itj1l3111'Q1', N, 'l', Gillette: l'listo1'igm'KI,S, Eisnerg Sergeant-at-Arms, E. X. Thompson. Up until hlanuary the shaping of the roughened stone went on surely and steadily. At that time we made our debut in the Freshman Chamber of lAlorrors, co.mnonly known as the dissecting-rooin. My, what a feeling! XYe soon became used to it and a great deal of knowledge was stored away. As soon as Spring came, there were other lields to conquer. A baseball team had to be whipped into shape. This, of course, was done when the weather permitted, and on May the fourth we again showed our superiority by trouncing the rival Sophomore team in a very speedy game of ball by the score of -l to 3. Much credit must here be given to our pitcher, Sooy, for his great work in the box, as well as for his timely double, which scored two runs. ln this line also our tirst baseman, llurke, deserves congratulations for making the longest hit of the game. This was the sec- ond time in the history of the school that any Freshman team had been victorious over the Sophomores in a ball game. Un May the fourteenth, nineteen hundred and nine, we threw off our robe uf emerald and handed it down to the unknown onconing class of the next year. Another year was now facing us. So well had we borne the tirst year that it was with eagerness that we returned to continue our studies, although at the tirst roll call a few did not answer to their names, but, notwithstanding this fact. others from other schools joined with us, thus making our class as large as ever. At the lirst business meeting, the following class oflicers were chosen: l'resi- dent, E, X. Thompson: Yice-President, J. F. Spearman: Secretary, F. L. Keoughg 'l'reasurer, XY. L. Sheahan. lr.: Sergeant-at-Arms, C. F. Coughlin. A discussion then came up as the best methods of punishing the unruly Fresh- men who had delied us both in school and in the newspapers. Several plans were hatched but only one adopted. Two hundred pounds of Hour were purchased. which was put into half-pound paper bags. Une morning while the greenies were listen- ing to a lecture in Roo'n 3-l we surprised then. First they were pelted with flour and then a most trusty tire-hose was brought into play. And what a mess! l will not try to describe it. for it is far beyond my power. l will say that they were taught a very good lesson. Subinission was their motto thereafter.

28 Uhr Qllinir, 15112 111 tl1e annual game of ball we were again victorious by the overwliclniing score uf to 6. NYc l1ad now successfully passed through two years of hard study. It was with great pride that we looked forward to our re111aini11g years. llad we not carried tl1e 1JZ'llll'lCl' of 11112 to great honor already? Hur records i11 the class room were very good indeed. and tl1ey alone, without our superior St1'Cllgt1'l i11 rushes Zlllfl baseball,would tell you of our high standard. Again at tl1e begi11ni11g of a 11ew year we gathered i11 tl1e old fa111iliar halls and rooms and as usual the iirst tl1ing on the prograinine was the election of officers. After d-ue consideration the following 111611 we1'e lllStZl11C1'1I 1'resident, L. Dale -lohnsong Vice- President, N. ll. Reeserg Secretary, XY. T. Driscoll: Treasurer, bl. E.

The Year llook Coznniittee which had been chosen after some deliberation and strife ill our seco11d year set about to do tl1eir duty. lt was 1lZ1l'C1. too. They labored against big odds, as do all who have such a position, but the lllltlldllg energy of our board could not be coinpassed. The Year llook was published at last and as a result of SLlC1l good work tl1e number printed was far below tl1e C1Gl1lZ1l'lC1, wl1icl1 speaks well for the board and the contents of the book itself. lt was with a great deal of joy that we entered our last year. It not only means tl1e end of our school days, but shows to tl1e world tl1e result of the gradual and care- ful work of our faculty in the shaping and polishing of tl1e roughened material into tl1e more sedate, solemn-faced finished 1Jl'Ol1llClf,+t11C Senior. And 1lCl'G we are see1ni11gly standing at the Golden Gate of the West, looking out over that broad expanse of water, the Ocean of Life. Over the gate is stretched our arch, upon which is seen tl1e word GRADUATE, rendered golden by the waning sun of our four years' college life. Q ' But who of us have built a vessel of theoretical a11d practical knowledge strong Clltjllgll to sail under tl1e arch and away! This is left not to ourselves, but to our Maker. Yet one tl1i11g is true, if we do embark we will carry with us tl1e stamp, the seal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, tl1at we may be k11own by our good work, no 111atter where we journey. Now, as the end of our four years is near at hand, it is with some regret that we think of leaving. llc have 1nade new acquaintances and in some cases life coni- panions. Our duty l1ereafter lies in separate fields, so naturally we must give to each otl1er and to P. X S. tl1e parting grip of farewell and wish eac11 and every one the best of luck. J. L.
