THE CLASS. FRANCIS PATRICK BRODERICK Comb down his hair, look! look! it stands upright. -HENRY VI. Astonished the natives of jamaica Plains, Mass., on March 26, 1896, and has stumped his native town for Tammany every year since. Thomas F. Broderick, a contractor, is the proud father, and as for distinguished relatives they are many and famous. Prepared at Boston High School. His blood, according to his own careful analysis, is Irish. PHILIP DUBOIS BUNTING Night after night He sat and bleared his eyes with books. -LONGFELLOW. Cast his innocent eyes upon a wicked world at Ellenville, N. Y., August 1, 1877, which ac- counts for his being such a warm baby. His august sire is Augustus Bunting, an under- taker who is now undertaking to make a physi- cian of his son. His blood is Dutch, German, French and English. Traces his ancestry back five generations. Had an ancestor who fought in General Washington's army.

YALE MEDICAL ANNUAL. FREDERICK TREMAINE BILLINGS U Up! up! my friend and quit your books Or surely you'll grow doubleg Up! up! my friend and clear your looks, Why all this toil and trouble? -Woanswourn. Was born to future greatness at Ridgewood, N. J., july 5, 1874. We are surprised that he did not make his advent a day earlier, coming, as he does, of a line of martial ancestors. His father, Luther Gay Billings, is an ofhcer in the United States Navy, and one of his earlier ancestors was on the staff of General Geo. Washington. The hot blood of the chevaliers of France, mingled with that of the Anglo-Saxon race, flows with great violence through his veins and is much in evidence when he is called upon to dis- seminate his knowledge in the class room. The Mohegan Lake School on the Hudson has the honor of having prepared him for college. CLIFFORD BREWSTER BRAINARD K' I to myself am dearer than a friend. -Two GENTLEMEN or VERONA. Came to illuminate the scientific world at Bristol, Conn., April 1, 1874. The date of his birth was unfortunate and probably accounts for some of the little eccentricities that endear him to him- self and his friends. Wilbur F. Brainard, Gen- eral Agent of the Connecticut Building and Loan Association, will be responsible for the rennais- sance of the practice of medicine which We expect to see occur shortly after his son makes his rllfbzzf as a practitioner. Distinguished relatives are Adam and Eve, and Kernble the artist. His blood is Saxon, Danish and English, but he says his lymph is Yankee QNode doubt this is a jokej. Prepared at Bristol High School for Sheiiield Scientific School from which he graduated in 1895.

YALE MEDICAL ANNUAL. WILLIAM T. CANNON The fearful thunder roar of red-breathed can- non, and the wailing cry of myriad victims filled the air. -PRENTICE. First shot off his face at New Haven, Conn., on April 7, 1875, and is without doubt the biggest gun in the class, as is shown by his distinguished relatives, Steve Brodie, Mrs. Nack and Leutgert. Prepared at Hillhouse High School and studied under Dr. Bond. He is loaded with blood that is Irish and American and he traces his ancestry back to the Gunmaker of Moscow. ALBERT EDVVARD COBB Learned was he in medicinal lore. -BUTLER. First cried for Castoria at Norfolk, Litchfield County, Conn., and is the son of A. E. Cobb, a merchant.
