}

 this part is the one im talking about. i hope u can help me
 public static void displayall(){

        String id = "";
        System.out.println("Enter an Id Number");
        Scanner Input = new Scanner(System.in);
        id = Input.nextLine();

        Mouse mouse = mouseList.get(id);
        if (mouse != null) {
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("ID Number:" + mouse.getId());
            System.out.println("Name:" + mouse.getFirstName() + " "
                    + mouse.getMiddleName() + " "
                    + mouse.getLastName());
            System.out.println("Degree:" + mouse.getDegName());
            System.out.println("Year Level:" + mouse.getYear());
        }
    }
}

Because you're using the legacy Dictionary interface , this gets a bit annoying, but it's possible to do this.

What you want to do is create an Enumeration of your elements, then iterate over that. The instance is provided by calling Dictionary#elements() , or more specifically, mouseList.elements() .

You then iterate over it as prescribed by Enumeration .

It would actually be a lot easier if Mouse also overrode toString() , as that's the best way to print those sorts of complex objects.

Lastly, you make a lot of unnecessary calls in that method - you don't care about an ID or anything like that. You'll also not need to check for null , since if it's not in the set of elements, it won't be in the Enumeration .

If you want to get a little more modern...then use a Map instead. Hashtable already uses the Map interface, so you won't need to change your concrete object (although I would strongly recommend it). Iterating over the elements of a Map becomes a call to Map#entrySet() with a little more work.
