The Secretary's office is one which must be visited at least twice a year by each and every student, as it is here that the drama of registration and payment of tuition is enacted, At the portals of this office one is invited to hold conference with our charming Mrs, Katherine M. Robinson. Mrs. Robinson is always very lenient in her dealings with the students and she is also widely known for her business ability.

It is also here that Miss Florence E. Crawford handles the clerical work involved in the various clinics. She registers all clinic patients and arranges for the senior students to care for them.

Class History

In the fall of 1927 approxirr.atelv fifty students entered the freshman class of Des Moines Still College of Osteopathy J n this group we were able to boast of only one co-ed, but she very readily adapted herself to her more or less strange situation and was soon respected as a rightful member of the class.

Since we outnumbered the Sophomores by at least fifteen men and profiting by our experiences in other institutions of learning we hastened to organize and send forth our defy to the Sophomore Class that was heard all around Polk County

We had sowed and so we began to reap. With the aid of some juniors the Sophomores started to do things. The end resulted in no personal injuries except a few blisters acquired by some of the unfortunates who were taken on a "special midnight tour" and shown some of the wide open spaces around Des Moines and then given the privilege of walking home. The only other calamity of major importance was that "Frenchy' lost his hirsute adornment.

The second semester started off with a bang. By this time with the aid of Dr.

Halladay and Dr. Woods we were able to say "Polymorphonuclear Neutrophilic Leukocyte, Trapezius, Latissimus Dorsi, Levator Angulae Scapulae," etc., etc., ad infinitum, and needless to say we were gratified at the manner in which this phraseology impressed our friends and relatives.

[16]

By this rime we were beginning to find out that we were here for other purposes than doing the Sophomores battle and causing them to loose a great deal of their much needed sleep. However, we did not sign a declaration of peace, but were given up as hopeless and were allowed to manage our affairs and conducted our class as we saw fit.

We felt that we were now Doctors and, of course, each member of the class had a very large and lucrative practice and could at any time demonstrate many styles and forms of teclinique that the older members of the profession had never seen or heard of.

The fall of 1928 next appeared on the horizon and early in September we marched up the long walk with arm loads of green caps, paddles, red paint and paint brushes between set teeth. Mindful of the fact that we were now "the distinguished Sophomore class" our hearts leaped with joy when we thought of what was in store for us in reducing the morale of the lowly freshmen.

With many wicked plans fully matured we began our reign by laying; down set rules and regulations for our less fortunate brethren. Everything went well around our merry campus until the Army decided to buck the Navy at close range. Results: Navy J 6, Army O. Our crafty black art permitted to no lowly fresh even as much as a mere d rag from the filthy weed on the west side of the campus.

Believing that further chastisement was necessary for our wards, we assembled many and various types and kinds of vehicles of conveyance of varied and unknown lineage, and with the power of Frederick the Great swept down upon the sleeping innocent Frosh. Loading our victims in the assembled conveyances we set forth to acquaint them with the nocturnal beauties of Polk County. How well we succeeded can be attested by any member of that class.

Then, by the magic wand of time, we were upperclassmen. By this time professional cards were being printed, and kits and automobiles were very conspicuous on the campus. Certainly we were doctors-from this time on the science of Osteopathy must advance by leaps and bounds.

After a few days in nervous physiology we began to realize that, perhaps, we were not the most intellectual people in the profession as we had previously supposed. It was about this time that we were informed at various intervals by President Johnson that there was no doubt in his mind but what some of our notorious group would reach greater heights digging post holes than they could ever hope to reach as physicians.

Our class as a whole, we are told by those in a position to know is one of the best all around classes to be graduated from Still College in a long time. The records show that this class has done more obstetrical work than any other class of the same number and there will be a greater percentage of the class to receive certificates for extra work done in the various clinics than any class in recent years.

As a class we are very proud of the work done by John B. Baldi and Lawrence P St. Amant in the Student Clinical and Experimental Laboratory and feel that their fine work is representative of the progressive spirit of the May class of 1931.

This history is not finished by any manner or means. Even though our class may be scattered, memory will still bind us together, and by our achievements we will endeavor to bring glory and honor to our beloved Alma Mater.

CLINIC TREATING ROOMS

TIlL TILLO I N

General Clinics

After two and a half years of preparation and an ticipation the embryo doctors eagerly enter the clinic. Two clinics are held daily; one consisting of the upper juniors and lower seniors and one of the upper seniors. The patient is brought before the class and the student in cbarge of the patient outlines the complaint and history of the case which he has ascertained previous to the clinic. The examination is completed by the doctor in charge of the clinic and the treatment of the case is outlined to the class and specific treat ment to the student. If the patient prefers private consultation an examination may be had where only the student, tbe doctor and the patient are present. The record of each patient is kept on file and available at all times for any practical purpose.

The general clinic is cond ucted by Dr. C.

W Johnson and Dr. L. L. Facto. The Eye, Ear Nose and Throat clinic is under the supervision of Dr H. J Marshall, and the Proctology clinic is handled by Dr. J

L. Schwartz and Dr. L. L. Facto. Gynecology is also conducted by Dr C. W Johnson. Dr. R B. Bachman is head of the Obstetrical department. Dr. H. V Halladay conducts the Orthopedic Clinic, and Dr. J P Schwartz conducts the Surgery clinic. These clinics embrace almost all the forms of diseases and conditions leaving only chronic and infectious diseases 'which are treated in the home. Dr. L. L. Facto is in charge of the Out-Patient Department. With such a superior staff of trained cl inicians and the great amount of clinical material the city of Des Moines affords the student is equipped to cope with the cases that he will meet with in his practice.

In addition to his clinical work the student receives training in the care of athletes, an added bit of experience which is not offered by any other college in the profession. Athletic treatment has become essential to the osteopathic physician and has made him an invaluable asset to athletic teams all over the country. The athletes of the high schools of Des Moines receive treatment in all sports during the course of the school year.

The requirement for graduation is six hundred treatments and for an additional two hundred treatments a special diploma is granted. The seventeen hundred patients and the twenty-eight thousand treatments given in the clinic during the past year makes this requirement easily fulfilled.

The systematic thoroughness that the clinic displayed in handling all the patients this year is credited to Frederick K. Stewart, Head 'Student Clinician. He was assisted by Frank W Shaffer in the general clinic, Richard N. Stritrnatter in the Proctology department, and Viola E. Buchholz in the Gynecology department.

The personal contact with so many patients and cases and subsequent ability to discriminate between pseudo and true symptoms, the detailed practice, gives the cor rect psychological response to every critical crisis. One can readily appreciate why the Still graduate has a year's advantage over the average graduate of any other college.

FREDERICK K. STEW ART

Obstetrical Clinic

The Obstetrical Clinic is one of the foremost departments in the clinic work conducted at Still College. At its head is Dr. Robert B. Bach'man, Professor of Obstetrics. Dr. Bachman is considered one of the leading obstetricians of the osteopathic profession. His wide experience and brilliant success makes him an ideal teacher to future obstetricians.

Each year the Board of Trustees select three senior students who act in the capacity of Assistant Obstetricians. These students are specially trained so as to assist at each delivery and to cond uct these deliveries according to the standard laid down by the head of the department. The assistants during the year 1930 and 1931 were Harold D. Meyer Stanley C. Pettit, J Nicholas Gill, Curtis M. Parkinson, and Paul. V Wynn.

All operative work as well as difficult cases are handled by Dr. Bachman personally. It is on these occasions that Dr. Bachman explains each step and the procedure followed to all attending seniors. Thus the students are enabled to obtain a thorough practical knowledge of the various phases of Obstetrics.

In considering the requirements, it is worthy of mention that each senior student assigned to a particular case makes in the presence of the Obstetrician or one of his assistants a complete examination of the patient in his charge. He then makes regular visits whereby a constant check is had on the condition of the prospective mother.

Furthermore, each student is required to make two deliveries and attend at least six other cases. This does not however limit him to that required amount. As a matter of fact, many of the seniors have four and five cases. Several seniors have earned the special certificates given for delivering six cases and obtaining three hundred credit points.

During the year 1930, two hundred twenty-four (224) deliveries were made in the college clinic. Of these, six were forceps; three, breech; three, podalic version; six were hospital cases, and one being a Ceasarian section.

It is quite evident that the students of Still College obtain exceptional opportunities to equip themselves for their future work as family physicians in the field.

The necrotomy department of our institution is of great irnportarice at the present time. It is in this class that the student comes in contact with the practical points of the human body A freshman visualizes the time when he will be able to take advantage of the practical opportunities which this department offers. The supply of bodies is ample and each cadaver is suitably embalmed and preserved in such a manner as to make for smooth dissecting.

The dissection class assembles throughout the week at three o'clock in the after noon and at eight 0 clock on Saturday mornings. Each student spends two hund red fifty hours in the dissection laboratory Each day at the appointed hour Dr. H. V Halladay lectures to the class on the work to be done that day. The student then devotes his time in dissecting according to the directions and the practical points given II1 the lecture.

Dr. Halladay has personally dissected more than five hundred bodies and has witnessed hundreds of others. His explanations and advice in this work are extremely beneficial and of great importance.

The students are further aided in this course by students who have satisfactorily completed the course and who are called Prosectors. The prosectors soon become indispensable at their respective tables and are a real aid to their fellow students.

LABORATORIES

TH .I STILI.ONIAN

Laboratories

The Osteopathic physician is qualified to cope with every day laboratory procedure essential to the modern physician's office. The fundamental purpose of the laboratories is to make him a practical physician. Although the student becomes acquainted with the minute intricacies of the laboratories, most of this work is left for the [aboratory technician while the constant demands for his practice are stressed.

With this idea constantly in mind the competent laboratories of Still College are capably conducted by Professor C. Ira Gordon, head of the department, and Professor F A. Parisi ann Professor Ava L. Johnson collaborating. The energetic student assistants, who aid in maintaining the excellent condition of the laboratories are Lane E. Moore, Margaret E. Dennis, Walter A. Rose, and G. Erie Moore.

The program for the laboratories demands the majority of the students' after noons, giving them ample time to cover the necessary material. The manuals used in Bacteriology and Physiology were compiled by Professor Ava L. Johnson, who also conducts classes in these subjects, and these manuals elucidate all the practical aspects of each course.

Bacteriology consisting of seventy-two hours, not only teaches the cultural characteristics of the virulent bacteria but offers the necessary procedure of bacterial examination of hands, air, water, milk, methods of sterilization, staining of slides, and preparation of the various kinds of media. The texts used are Jordan and Bigger.

Professor Parisi has designed his courses in Histology Pathology, and Laboratory Diagnosis to assist the 'student as a laboratory diagnostician. The thi rty-six hours of Histology include slides of all normal tissues and organs. Their study is augmented by the use of the microprojectoscope which provides for class study and discussion of each slide. Bailey's text is followed. Pathology requires ninety hours, covering all pathological conditions that are prevalent in tissues and organs. The slides are excellent and are' in sufficient number to provide for sixty-five students. Delafield and Prudden, and McCullum are the reference, books used. Laboratory Diagnosis, a seventy-two hour laboratory course, offers a very thorough training in microscopic blood, sputum, urine, etc.

The Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory is a well lighted and ventilated room with acid proof desks to accommodate sixty-five students and supplied with all the necessary equipment of the modern chemistry laboratory. The course introduces chemistry as applied to the human body, explains analysis, synthesis, valence, chemical reactions, properties of gases, liquids and solids. The Organic Laboratory is a continuation of the work in chemistry explaining and preparing the student for the complex structural formulaes encountered in Physiological Chemistry. Williams, Organic Chemistry, and Foster's Inorganic Chemistry are the books used. The predominant idea in Physiological Chemistry is the study of the chemistry of the human body as related to food, digestion and metabolism; bearing in mind its necessity to Dietetics, which is so essential as a therapeutic agent in the practice of the Osteopathic Physician. Gastric, urine, milk and fecal analysis complete the cou rse. Hawk and Bergheim, and Ely are the texts used in. Physiological Cherr istry.

The Physiology Laboratory course embraces muscle, nervous, gas eric and respi ratory physiology. The hundred eight hours of this laboratory work interprets the lectures and offers examples of normal body function. Howell, and Zoethout are the books followed in this course.

Student Clinical and Experimental Laboratories

This department from its inception was originated and conducted by a small group of students for the primary purpose of creating further active interest and obtaining more and better practical experience in clinical laboratory work.

A booklet was printed and dedicated to the graduating class of May, 1930. The proceeds from this venture enabled the fou I' students in charge of the laboratories to purchase additional equipment and increase the scope of their activities.

From January, 1930, to January 1931, more than 1,400 uranalyses were made; .f.95 blood counts; 57 gastric analyses; 38 kidney functions and innumerable other diagnostic laboratory tests were made. Doctors allover the country from West Virginia to Montana, availed themselves of the services offered.

Shortly after the beginning of the year by action of the Board of Directors, the student management was discontinued, the outside work also discontinued and the students of the Physical Diagnosis class are now doing the laboratory work for the college clinic.

Change is the immutable law of time and it was with much regret that we learned lVII's. Z. A. Innes' connections with Still College had been severed at

the end of ] 930. ~

Mrs, Innes as our Laboratory Technician, was more popularly known as "The Dragon from the Dungeon," and was well liked by all students who came under her firm and efficient tutorage.

Although she is no longer with us she will ever be remembered by those who knew her as a teacher and friend and she takes with her the best wishes of the entire student body.

TI E STILLONTAN

The Des Moines General Hospital

The Des Moines General Hospital, located at East Twelfth and Des Moines Streets, is

ideally situated close by the Iowa State Capi- 0

tol and Historical buildings overlooking the spacious Capitol Extension grounds. The site and building formerly belonged to the Adventists and was operated as the Iowa Sanitarium. Appropriate changes were made in the building in order that the scope of the building, as an Osteopathic institution, might be broadened.

The hospital is controlled by a board of trustees which include Doctors J P Schwartz, .T L. Schwartz, H. J Marshall and F J. T renery the fi rst three of whom serve as president, treasurer, and secretary respectively.

The equipment of the institution is such as to avail its services to the profession in the

broadest possible manner. The laboratories, X-ray and physiotherapy departrr:ents are under the supervision of Dr B. L. Cash. Blood chemistry urine analysis, serum reactions, basal matabolism and many, other pi ocedures fall under the daily routine of the laboratory The physiotherapy department is equipped to do radiation by X-ray Ultra Violet, Infra Red and Diathermitization. This department also has sixty milligrams of radium and is prepared to do both deep and superficial application.

DR. J. P SCHWARTZ

Possibly the most outstanding link between the school and the Hospital is the extensive surgical clinics held three days a week. The students assist in much of the minor surgery and witness the major operations. Over 2,000 cases were operated in the clinic last year, of 'which 125 were major operations.

The cooperation between the school and the hospital makes it possible for the student to learn to feel at home in the operating room as well as to grasp the principals of sterile technic, anesthesia, and all types of operative surgery as well as the numerous other procedures that make up the daily routine of a busy hospital.

THE STILLONIA

Stillonian Staff

After a year's absence the Stillonian again makes its appearance. The management of the book is entirely different from that of its predecessors. The school this vear does not assume the financial re~poll:ooibili(it.'~, but the b u r de n lies ill rh e halld~ of the editor-in-chief. The losses suffered in the other year of its existence have been optimistically disregarded and the staff hopes that this book will make its place with the other annuals of the school.

The staff offers its sincere thanks of appreciation to the following: Dr. J. P Schwartz and Dr. H. V Halladay for their kind words of encouragement and constructive criticism; to Dr. L. L. Facto, Miss A. L. Johnson, H. F. Scatterday, J. N. Gill, O. E. Rose, E. W Hewlett, S. B. Kahn, V E. Buchholz, S. J. Dahl, L. E. Moore, V A. Newman, G. E. DuBois, and P. Griffiths, as members' of the Board of Review; Mr. R. H. Woltz, official photographer, and Mr. P W Hammersmith and Mr. G. R. Warren of the Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Co., and to the students and members of the faculty whose subscriptions helped make possible this Stillonian.

Only six weeks were allowed for the appointment of the staff, taking of photographs, and accumulation of material. So short a period of time allotted for this project hardly suffices, but with all members of the staff doing their utmost what could be done was accomplished. It is hoped that work on the Stillonian of 1932 will be started shortly after the beginning of the coming fall term.

The Log Book

The Log Book is the official publication of Des Moines Still College Of Osteopathy It is 'published on the fifteenth day of each month and enters the mail at Des Moines as second class matter.

The staff consists of a student editor, who is selected from the student body each year by the Board of Trustees; a faculty advisor who acts as an advisor to the editor and the president of the school who censors all proof copies before they are sent to press.

During the past year Robert K. Homan, a member of the senior class which will be graduated in May 1931, has served as editor. Dr. H. V Halladay has served as faculty advisor, and Dr. C. W Johnson, as president of the school, served as president and censor of The Log Book.

Those in charge of publishing The Log

Book endeavor to make the majority of its content of a semi-scientific nature which will be of interest both to the student body of Still College as well as the men in practice, and to help both groups to better understanding each other.

The pages of this publication are kept free

rlfrom commercial advertising since it is the will of the Board of Trustees that The Log Book shall not be self supporting but shall be financed by said board and shall be published by and for those connected with the osteopathic profession.

The circulation of The Log Book is more than five thousand five hundred per issue with the majority of the circulation going to the osteopathic profession, only a few going to friends and prospective students.

ROBERT K. HOMAN

Every state in the union appears on the mailing list with California leading the list with three hundred twelve copies. The next state in importance is Pennsylvania, which receives two hundred seventy seven copies, and Ohio is third, two hundred thirty two copies going to the Buckeye state.

THE STILLONIA

The Band

The Still College Band at the present time is one of the best of its kind in the country Each member of the band, under the personal direction of Dr. H. V Halladay performs admirably. The music played by the band is of a classical, semi-classical, march and popular origin. School songs and songs of other states are featured by the band.

On numerous occasions the band has paraded, entertained public gatherings, and played for the gatherings of the various osteopathic groups of the state. The band supplies the spice to the general assemblies which are held each Friday morning.

At the end of four years of association with the band and its activities a student is given a certificate by the school for his service.

Baseball

Baseball, our major outdoor sport, always arouses considerable enthusiasm in the spring of the year and with the greater majority of many of the faculty members, and the band present at all games that old College spirit is evident on all sides.

Four; teams were in the race for ] 930 crown-Iota Tau Sigma, Phi Sigma Gamma, Atlas Club, and Non-Fraternity Men. According to the dopesters the race was between the "ITS" and the Non-Frats with the "ITS" teams given the advantage as last years champions.

The only real upset of the season was when the Phi Sig team took the Non-Frats into camp. Other than that, the dopesters had doped right. The "ITS'·! nine with the stellar pitching of Red Lang and Bob Happel and with heads-up backing by their teammates helped to again bring the laurels to Iota Tau Sigma.

The end of the season found the teams lined up as follows: Iota Tau Sigma, Non-Fraternity Men, Phi 'Sigma Gamma, Atlas Club.

Iota Tau Sigma thus retains possession of the Sigma Sigma Phi baseball trophy for another year Victory next year will mean permanent possession of the cup by Iota Tau Sigma. However, according to all signs and indications at the present time of writing (the middle of March) the "ITS" men are going to have to play some real baseball if they want that cup for their mantelpiece.

Golf

The annual interfraternity golf tournament sponsored by Sigma Sigma Phi is always an event of great interest, but the tournament of the spring of 1930 was of special interest.

In the fi rst place the tournament ended in a tie between the Atlas Club and the Iota Tau Sigma, and, in the second place the cup was to become a permanent trophy at the Atlas house providing they could subdue the Iota Tau Sigma team, as the cup had already rested upon the Atlas Club mantle for two consecutive years.

During the tournament Iota 1 au Sigma and Atlas Club won an equal number of points from Phi Sigma Gamma, and Iota Tau Sigma and Atlas Club had lost three points to each other so it became necessary to playoff the tie.

With Robert K. Homan, Orville E. Rose, John P Campbell and Millard J Hydernan playing for the Atlas Club and M. P Quartell, Leslie W Spaulding, Orval L. Cooper and James A. Johnson for the Iota Tau Sigma, the playoff came to be an event of real interest.

After some heated battles during which Homan took three points from Quartell, Spaulding downed Rose for the count of three, Campbell collected two points from Cooper and Hydernan took Johnson for three points, the Atlas Club won by a score of eight to four.

Each player shot eighteen holes and points were alloted to the low score for each nine and low total score for the eighteen, each game thus involving three points.

This fine old game of golf is becoming more and more popular among students every year and we hope that the fine type of sportsmanship dislpayed in this golf tournament will always exist between the fraternities of Still College.

Bridge Tournament

For the past winter months Still College students have been busily engaged in bridge as an entertaining pastime.

A tournament was staged and teams representing each fraternity migrated to and from the various houses to clash with opposing teams. The members of each visiting team were also dinner guests of the fraternity visited. Twelve games were played by each team at three game intervals.

The interest displayed in this tournament proves that Bridge is still the major winter indoor sport of Still College, although Bowling seemed to be crowding it a bit this year. The games were well attended and while there was no organized cheering section a great deal of enthusiasm was shown at all times by the frenzied spectators. The good card playing and sportsmanship present throughout the tournament is indeed commendable and serves as another link in the chain that binds Still College men and their fraternities together.

After the smoke and din of the battle had cleared away Iota Tau Sigma was found to be the victor by a good number of points. Atlas Club and Phi Sigma Gamma shared second and third honors, respectively.

Bowling

Interest ran high in the bowling tournament this year. Four teams were picked to uphold the honor of their fraternities. The Phi Sigma Gamma team, captained by Howard C. Toepfer, took the lead from the start and had little trouble maintaining it throughout the course of the tournament, finishing with a total of 344 pins ahead of the Non-Frats who took second place.

Howard C. Toepfer, captain of the Phi Sigs, had his pin boy suffering from hyperidrosis when he knocked down 231 pins for the high game of the tournament. John B. Baldi, of the Non-Frats ended up with the highest average of the tournament. It takes good consistent bowling to average 173 during a tournament and Baldi was one of the mainstays of his team.

How they ended: Phi Sigma Gamma, 6975; Non-Fraternity Men', 6631; Atlas Club, 6585; Iota Tau Sigma, 6151.

The coveted silver loving cup for bowling was presented to the Phi Sigma Gamma team at the All-School Dance sponsored by Sigma Sigma Phi at the Hotel Commodore on March 20, 1931. Sigma Sigma Phi was sponsor of the bowling tournament.

Sigma Sigma Phi AJl School Dance

Terminating the annual inter-fraternity bridge and bowling tournaments the Sigma, Sigma Phi Fraternity held their annual All School Dance on Friday March 20, and presented the awards to the victors of each contest.

Robert K. Homan, President of Sigma ~igma Phi, presented the members of the winning teams with the silver loving cups they had fought for and won. To Phi Sigma Gamma went the Bowling Cup and to Iota Tau Sigma went the Bridge Cup.

The dance this year was held at the Hotel Commodore. Music was created by one of the finest orchestras obtainable, whose bewitching syncopation demanded one or more encores after each regular number. Refreshmerits and bridge were available for those who cared to pull themselves away from the dance floor.

A n added bit of very clever entertainment was presented in the form of a duet composed of Judd L. Koch and George G. Hall which brought a justified round of applause of several encores.

Another surprise of the evening was the permanent picture of the assemblage made r ossiblc through the courtesy of THE STILLONIAN Nothing helps to retain a pleasant memory of an affair as a photograph and this was made possible for all those who care for a picture.

To the committee, composed of Clayton A. Reeves, Chairman; Robert K. Homan, and Harry D. Taylor, goes all credit and honor for this wonderful dance and the student body owes these men a vote of thanks for the excellent work they have done.

The Stillonian wishes to add that nothing can initiate and sustain fraternalism throughout the student body as an All School Dance and it is hoped that all dances in the future, with this in the background, will enjoy the well-merited success that this dance did.

Still College Visits Legislature En Masse

The fight this year in the legislature was more deeply embittered than ever before in the history of disputes between the Osteopaths and the Allopaths. After innumerable postponements and delays the bills were finally brought before the house.

Quite naturally every student was vitally interested in the outcome of the bills so President Johnson excused all classes for the day and through the courtesy of THE STILLONIAN a fleet of twenty-five Yellow Cabs was chartered' to transport the students and faculty to the State House.

Starting at 10 :30 a. m. the discussion on the bills involved consumed the entire day with a display of parliamentary tactics that will long be remembered by all those present.

Both sides being equally matched no headway could be made and finally a committee of six, composed of three legislators on each side, was appointed to see what could be done about effecting a compromise. At the time of this writing the bills are still in the hands of the committee.

Junior-Senior Prom

Climaxing the social functions of the school year was the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Parkview Country Club on May sixth.

The ball roam decorated with the colors of Maize and Blue emblematic of the Junior Class and Scarlet and Gray of the Senior Class intermingling through the chandeliers and pillars with apple blossoms artistically arranged lent color to the affair.

Leading the grand march to the rhythmic strains of Bernie Lowe's Parkview Orchestra were Carl P Routzahn, President of the Junior Class and escort and Henry F Scatterday, President of tbe Senior Class and escort.

Included among the guests of honor were the following members of tbe faculty:

President and Mrs. C. W Johnson, Dean and Mrs. ]. P Schwartz, Dr. and 1\1rs. H. V Halladay, Dr. and Mrs. R. B. Bachman, Dr. and Mrs. ]. R. Beveridge, Dr and Mrs. L. L. Facto, Dr. and Mrs. ]. M. Woods, Prof. and Mrs. C. Ira Gordon, Miss Ava L. Johnson and escort.

The dance characteristic of all Still College functions was a huge success and many a sigh was heard wben the final strains of Home Sweet Home lowered the cur tain on one of tbe most interesting and enjoyable Proms in the history of Still College.

The committee composed of Judd L. Kocb, Chairman; David H. Grau and John P Campbell are to be commended for their excellent work and the Junior Class compl imented for their cooperation in extending 'to the Senior Class their finale.

Interfraternity Council

Tbe Interfraternity Council was organized at Still College in 'September, 1924.

Its purpose is to establish coordination in activities and promote better fellowship among the fraternities.

The members of the Council are composed of the President and one senior member of each fraternity. The members of the Council this year are as follows: J Nicholas Gill, President; Robert K. Homan, Secretary-Treasurer; George A. Purdie, Orville E. Rose, Ricbard N. Stritmatter, Earl W Hewlett.

The Council meets every second and fourth Tuesday at one of the fraternity houses. As all of the houses are now running tables the members of the Council are the dinner guests of the house at which the meeting is held.

The Interfraternity Council is performing a real service in the work they are doing in promoting and maintaining the fine fellowship and fraternalism now existing at Still College.

HAnd now get all the

sunshine you can"

How often you tell a patient those very words. The convalescent needs the ultraviolet and heat rays of the sun .. which build new vitality.

But sunshine is very elusive especially in the winter... and you r patient often times can not get out in the sunshine. Never-the-less, that patient can have sunshine ... the ultra violet effectiveness of

the midsummer sun ... with a General Electric Sun Lamp.

There are four handsomely finished models which you can recommend. You are invited to see them at our display rooms.
