THE ALUMNi JOURNAL, 



17 



was referred to the following meeting, to be 

 held subject to call. 



Class Flag — Mr. R. Gies on behalf of the 

 Committee, reported that design had been de- 

 cided upon, which design would cost $1.00 per 

 flag. He stated up to that time 65 flags had al- 

 ready been subscribed for. 



GLEE Club. — Mr. R. Gies reported that 27 

 members had been enrolled, that the average 

 attendance was then 17 or more, and that every- 

 thing promised well. 



He also stated that the Committee's work was 

 completed and asked that they be relieved of 

 further duty, which request was granted by 

 consent of the meeting. 



The meeting was regularly adjourned. 



T. P. Hefeley, Sec'y. 



Dr. Haubold's lecture on December 12 

 brought out a large number of members of the 

 senior class, who were conspicuous by each 

 man present bearing one of the new pennants 

 on a cane. After the learned doctor, who 

 places himself on record as having little or no 

 faith in the much vaunted value of pepsin ap- 

 plied as a remedial agent in indigestion, and 

 who places the greatest amount of belief in the 

 value of milk for the same complaint, after he 

 had finished his interesting lecture, the repre- 

 sentatives of the class of '95 marched from the 

 College in a body and serenaded the druggists 

 on the Avenue from 66th street and Columbus 

 avenue down Broadway to 23d street. 



MESSRS. R. Gies, R. O. Belfry, T. A. Merritt 

 and H. E. Cooley passed the State Board ex- 

 amination on the 30th ult. 



A number of the students of the class of '95 

 took the City Board's examination on the 12th 

 inst. and at the time of going to press the results 

 had not yet been announced. The successful 

 members will be named in our next issue. 



The committee having in charge the produc- 

 tion of the pennant, have after a little difficulty 

 succeeded in presenting to the contributing 

 members a very neat pennant, of a blue color, 

 triangular in shape and bearing a design of the 

 Benzole ring with the college colors and the 

 figures '95 indicating the class. The material 

 is silk. 



In the foot ball game between the L.I. C. H. 

 team and the Coll P. & S. team, the Embryo- 

 ^Esculapii of the College of Physicians and Sur- 

 geons of New York, after a hard and exciting 

 tussle with their Long Island competitors, were 

 declared victors, much to our delight. It is 



only fair to add that the Long Island College 

 team has some strong men among them, who 

 made the P. & S. boys work for their honors. 



The glee club still continues in a flourishing 

 condition, and we hope will remain so. It takes 

 works to become perfected in anything, this being 

 no exception. 



The quiz/, class is a decided success. The work 

 of Mr. Ferguson as quiz-master, last Friday 

 night, December 14, should be especially com- 

 mended. 



Davey Wells, whose long face for the past 

 week, has been the subject of much anxiety 

 among his friends, has quieted their fears by re- 

 suming his usual jolly manner, 



Manville had a little 'tash, 

 With which he used to mash, 

 And every time he went to eat, 

 It got mixed up in the hash. 



It followed him to the barber shop, 

 And sine- then he has wept, 

 For the barber quickly cut it off 

 While Manville sweetly slept. 



Cruel scissors. Inhuman barber. Sherman's 

 curley locks, alas ! 



At the meeting of the quintette club last Fri- 

 day, Braves Engle, Morse, Manville and Cherry 

 were introduced into the mysteries of Fire 

 Damp Lodge, Section 1. 



One of our glee club members, who works at 

 a well known Broadway establishment, while at 

 dinner was noticed by a lady opposite to put 

 three spoonsfuls of sugar in his tea. You must 

 be sweet, she said. I am, he replied. If you 

 don't believe it, try me. Hey ! Sherman. The 

 enthusiasm displayed by the boys in the pur. 

 chase of flags, speaks well for the various enter- 

 prises in which they have embarked. 



The glee club was entertained by Mr. and 

 Mrs. Gies, at their pleasant home, on Twenty- 

 eight street, Monday night, December 10. 



All report a very pleasant and enjoyable even- 

 ing. Mrs. Gies, the handsome and charming 

 wife of our musical director, proved to be a 

 charming hostess. 



President Bailey's untiring labors in the inter- 

 est of the class should meet with its hearty co- 

 operation. The outbursts of the three or four 

 toughs which have given the seniors a bad odor 

 for the last two years, are ended it is hoped. 



For Burns, use your liniment. 



Gies, for Christmas. 



Cherry rum for sale. 



Oats, not wild, we hope. 



Herrings, mum from our college list.
