glad for the diversions they afforded. Cn our return we immediately got busy, for' we realized that Drs, Ludholtz, Gay and Marshall would soon be after us with their exams Fortunately, the f'midyears did not cripple a single mem- ber of our Class, except that Paul Runge and Gillillian were forced to leave school on account of sickness. And Dick Folson, although passing his examina- tions, had to leave school owing to financial difficulties. There was little of unusual occurrence until the annual dance of the Omega Tau Sig.ma Fraternity. A few weeks later the Veterinary Medical Society held its annual banquet at the Continental Hotel. lt was declared a grand success, although a few were unfortunate and thought it best to return in a taxicab. Spring soon put in its appearance, and the time passed by so quickly that before we fully realized it those much-dreaded final exams were over. The result of the examinations, lasting from june Sth to 18th, was not bad, but awful in the way of suspense because one examination was more or less paradox, as twenty-six fellows had failed to make any impress-ion on Dr. K. F. Myers in pathology. But all cleared the bars on the second trial, with the exception of jackson, he, having several other conditions, was not eligible for re-examination. Returning to take up the work of our Senior year, we found that our Class was again augmented by the addition of Boylan, Klein, Kaufman and Kingtson, of the Class of 1911, and Milman, a former student of Cornell. As a large num- ber of our Class had been assisting practitioners during the summer vacation, many interesting experiences were exchanged and good f'dope derived there- from. Upon becoming accustomed to the Senior work, everything went along very smoothly, except that it seemed almost impossible for some to get accus- tomed to the eight olclock lectures in medicine. There were also a few in Sec- tion A that seemed to think that four hours of continual work in the bacterio- logical laboratory was quite sufficient. ' After the Christmas holidays we went through the usual ordeal of exams Shortly after, having taken our midyear examinations, Dr. Klein, at the close of one of his lectures in therapeutics, with a broad smile said: This has been the first time in the history of this department that every man taking the examina- tion in milk hygiene made a passing mark. I On the evening of the twenty-second of February the annual dance of the Qmega Tau Sigma Fraternity was held in the Houston Club. It was well at- tended and pronounced the most classy dance that was ever given by the students of the Veterinary Department. There was little of unusual occurrence during the next few months, as our minds were well occupied preparing for our last final examinations. Not only has our Class sought distinction in the classroom, but also in ath- letics, as our Class was well represented in the Varsity, Scrub and Freshmen football teamsg Department crew, Pennsylvania gunning team, and the strongest man that has ever matriculated in the University of Pennsylvania. The last and most elaborate affair of our three years was the Senior banquet. lt was declared a grand success, although joy was mingled with sadness, for we realized that this was the last banquet we co-uld enjoy together as students. Thus ends the history of the Class of 1912, and, as we leave this College world to go out into that greater world of life to reap the benefits of a profes- sional career, we bear with us the greatest feeling of gratitude for our Alma Mater and the many pleasurable memories of the happy days at dear Old Penn.
