Class History 1905, [ ? ] MERE record of passing events cannot become history until it is looked at through the telescope of years. Among the members of our class may be those who are silently and unconsciously laying the foundations of a career comparable only to a Harris or a Hayden. Why should there not be when the germ of great- ness is so well nurtured by our ancient college? In the following pages I shall endeavor to picture some of the minor events, which I hope may recall to us our college days after many years have passed. The class of 1905 was born on the first of October 1902 at the corner of Eutaw and Franklin Streets in the city of Baltimore, State of Maryland, and was composed of students from all parts of the world. On arriving in the city our first thought was to interview the Dean who releived us of as much cash as possible; next we fell into the hands of the Dental Supply agent who proceeded to sell us all necessary instruments for use during our freshmen year. He also sold us appliances which we will never use, his ability to do so being no doubt enhanced very much by the fact that he addressed us as Doctor. Our first duty as new students was a self-imposed one, namely; the adapting of ourselves to the new, and in some ways, startling environments. To this desirable end the Juniors repeatedly offered a willing hand gratis which was the only thing we can remember getting for nothing. In the lecture hall we were very kindly offered seats in front and there were literally approached by the Juniors with outstreached arms; but let us refrain from telling how those oatstreached arms began to pass us back, it is a part of our experience that we do not wish to record. Next the mustaches received attention and several were left in a miserably wrecked condition. (Moore tried to swallow his but in three minutes it looked as though it had been swallowed three days.) Being an up-to-date class, the first duty before us was to organize, which resulted in a meeting being held for the election of officers. The following members of the class were elected; Henry Furschbach, Pres., D. W. Pineo, Sec- retary, R. M. Leonard, Vice-President, D.F. Burke, Treasurer, G.W. Deming, Historian, J.O. Miner, Artist, H.W. Haw- ley, Poet and J. P. O ' Keefe, Sergeant-at-Arms. The class of 1905 was one of the largest that ever entered and early in its existance demonstrated to the faculty that ours was no ordinary class. The manner in which we finished our requirments the first year clearly showed them that we were there for business. These requirments consisted, namely: of drawing on paper and carving from soap whole sets of teeth and tracing the course of the nerve canals and dentinal- teibule. 26
