We also have much to thank the seniors for. Though quantity was lacking, they were there in quality. In operating, some of our number have specialties, for instance, T. Bergemann not only extracts teeth, but also tips from his patients. E. I. Halford, a valiant young married man, is particularly fond of fair patients, Chinese a specialty. Stevan Vtfasilko, the featherweight of our class, experiments on Rus- sian Cossacks, and cures pyorrohia, alveolaris, and pulpitis by the water cure. As for the rest of our members, we have M. Hall, who is the very pink of courtesy, he, with J. Bugan, a curly shepherd lad, persuaded Dr. Boxton that they really dissected their two parts last year. Mas- terson finds dentistry too slow, so he sells S. S. M. goods. Tambling, who is not very great in stature or years, instructs the freshmen in their required work. Then there is Yelland, who desires to be seen but not heard. And, lastly, E. R. Harris, the pest of the junior class. Thus endeth the junior year. Class Officers President . 6. R.

obturators for syphs and money for the college as well. That we did' our required work creditably may be seen by referring to the cabinets in the inlirmary. As for our theory, the ledgers tell the tale. During the term, several members dropped out, and at the Final we numbered eleven. Thus endeth our freshman year. After spending the summer vacations in all parts of the globe, our class again reported to the college, this time as juniors, the happy medium. VVe had the pleasure of seeing our former place taken by as noisy and energetic a bunch of freshmen as has yet entered the new C. P. and S. As juniors. we welcomed the following members: Win. Lytle, whose pen speaketh stronger than his actionsg Geo. Rrannan, how motionless, not frozen seas more motionlessg Takahashi, who works with patience which is almost powerg and Sangiyama, who will make footprints on the sand in time. To these we extend a hearty welcome. Witlioiit fear of the highty Six or the freshmen whose goat we had captured, we held our election of class officers. Then we settled down to learn the art of setting up teeth irregular under the directions of Dr. Boxton. After setting up our teeth half a dozen times or so, and having them torn down as many by our worthy instructor, we learned by sad experience not to show our plates till they were vulcanized. Wlieii it came to swedging aluminum bases, Col- burn was there, for he always has his little hammer out. After the holidays we had the privilege of operat- ing in the infirmary. This opportunity was grasped by a number of our class, and after a short time some of them considered themselves equal if not superior to the Big Six. Under the instruction of Dr. Sullivan, we treated teeth with tricreosote and formalin, to say nothing of the iodoform prescribed by Dr. Boxton. I3l

To Chips H By E. Halford VVell, friends, the Chips is out at last. Of all the books. this is the best. The chances were, but they are past, That it should find a place of rest. In Chips'l you find in every line Enough to stay the weary mind Of students, who for months now gone Have learned the use of brain and brawn, And cause them to their steps retrace, Remembering how they joined the race. In Chips you read with pleasant ease Professors jests the boys to pleaseg lflow boys in class will pass the buck, And bull and con, and all such truck. Here jokes and favorite sayings dwell, lVhich help the old book's sides to swell. This book contains within its sheets Enough to keep the memory sweet Of past events and hobbies dear Of all who know and read and hear. In it you find in certain lines The limit of a freshmanis mind. Here, too, the senior knowledge fount Is placed in words which always county Wlhile middle classmen in their place Come steadily on in knowledge race: Professors' names, whose steady grind Has distilled into weary minds The things which they by much expense Have each in turn now underwent. So, when in after vears we see, More thankful to them then we'll be. And now old Chips, in your behalf Iid ask that all the boys take part. In after years, when toils are past. Your little jokes may cheer his heart, Or. better still, when growing gray, VVhen o'er your lines he haps to stray, May he within your pages find Some redress for his weary mind. l33
