The Junior Class held their first meeting Oct. 

 20th. Mr. Thornhill was elected temporary 

 Chairman and Mr. Cantwell, Secretary. It was 

 decided that each section elect a delegate ; they, 

 with Mr. Thornhill as Chairman, to form a nomi- 

 nating committee. At the next meeting the 

 nominations were presented, but owing to the 

 inclemency of the weather, the election was 

 postponed until Nov. 20th. On this date the 

 election resulted in 126 votes being cast ; the 

 following officers being elected : President, S. 

 Thornhill, Wappinger Falls, N. Y.; Vice-Presi- 

 dent, G. H. Carter, Newburgh, N. Y. 



F. H. Finley, 62 W. 34th St., N. Y. ; 



G. Norcross, Far Rockaway, L- I. 

 J. Y. Cantwell, Davenport, la. 



The present Junior Class is the largest that 

 ever entered the college. There being representa- 

 tives from South America and Europe, as well 

 as from all parts of this country, 



The new college pin which C. M, Rawlins 

 has for sale is quite an improvement on the old, 

 the difference being the letters N. Y. C. P. 

 across the face. 



How many Junior students have visited the 

 Students' Club at 129 Lexington avenue? If 

 you have not, you ought to do so. 



This club is the only intercollegiate one of 

 the kind in the city, it being made up of 26 

 colleges, N. Y. C. P. being one of them. 



Here it is that the various college students 

 meet. During the winter receptions are given, 

 and the members have many social enjoyments. 

 On November 17th Mrs. Dr. Shrady gave an 

 opening reception to the members and friends 

 of the club. Bishop Potter, Mr. McArthur 

 and Mr. N. M. Thompson made addresses, 

 while eminent musicians, the Columbia Glee 

 Club and the Princeton Quartette, helped en- 

 tertain the students. Not only are there social 

 enjoyments, but reading room, gymnasium 

 privileges and baths. Many students room in 

 the building. The Secretary, Mr. E. E. Hunt, 

 is a friend of all college men, and sends a cor- 

 dial invitation to all N. Y. C. P. students to 

 make him a visit at the club.

 we may look for some wonderful discoveries 

 soon. 



As soon as we finish physics, which will be 

 sometime in January, we will have our first 

 examination, this will be the only one the Jun- 

 iors will have until the end of the year. 



Prof. — Is HC1 an alkali ? 

 H. — Yes, sir. 



Prof. — And how would you make it more 

 alkaline ? 



H.— Add more HC1. 



Ask C. W. S. how Fl. Ex. of Genatian tastes. 



Prof. — How many yards of oil cloth will 

 it take for a room 18x28 ? 



F. — Answered, what kind of cloth, Prof. ? 



At the last class meeting committees were 

 appointed to select a class yell, and to see about 

 a reception at the Student Club rooms. 



A banjo club has been organized, now for a 

 Glee Club.

THE JUNIORS. 



A gayer set could ne'er be found 



In either town or city, 

 Always for mischief they are bound, 



And such noise !— 'Tis a pity. 



The lecture room is where tfiey cheer, 

 And where they are choked with dust. 



'Tis strange how the ceilings adhere, 

 But of course they say it's just. 



Their hands are skinless, burnt and fried. 



By testing acids or gas, 

 But of course they never once cried — 



Some may, when they fail to pass. 



"Pharmacognosy is a snap," 



You'll hear a few of them say. 

 But don't meet with any mishap 



On examination day. 



And now they're going to take a rest, 



On Christmas turkeys survive ; 

 But be quite sure that they digest, 



And get back in '95. 



— G. C. Patrick.
