Legg SENIOR MEDICAL CLASS HISTORY Another year is over, and six months earlier than we ex- pected we are graduating in medicine, most of us somewhat eerie of the responsibihty slapping us in the face. It seems such a short time ago t hat our class assembled as Freshmen to be told of the long, hard struggle ahead. First came the attempt to master Gray ' s Anatomy, watching the saddened face of a patient instructor when the blood supply to a cartilage be given. That year we proudly watched the opening of the new hospital, whose floors our tired feet have covered many times since. This first year dismissed seventy-some sleepy, worried people for a vacation. The months passed quickly, and we enter- ed our Sophomore year, being prewarned by our learned pred- ecessors that its mastery was almost humanly impossible. The midnight oil did burn, but not reluctantly, for we knew that this was the foundation for our clinical medicine. We experimented and experimented on dogs, rabbits, and our- selves. Our third finger looked like a sieve following clinical pathology, and our esophagus took a beating with a levine tube in physiology. We lived through it all and were granted a month ' s vacation. Returning, we entered our Junior year with pep, viin, and vigor, to start, (at long last, clinical medicine. This was a pleasant change, but we found something new to fuss about (which always made our class more satisfied) — we were be- coming Class A technicians. Our fussing was to no avail so we watched the Seniors deliver the outside babies in the small hours. Here the Army marched in, and after a week ' s vacation we suddenly found ourselves Seniors in Medicine. Not long after this most of our class either became soldiers or sailors. Our last year allowed inore freedom in diagnosing and treating our patients. Now we look back and find the course hasn ' t been long at all, but find our responsibility a reality now and not something to be thought about and cast aside. There is a feeling of uncertainty to the future, but we know that the knowledge gained is needed more now than ever before. Our class has one of the greatest incentives for which to strive — our country ' s health and safety.
