Ben Judy Athletic Representative CLASS HISTORY FOUR years have been required to effect the transition from the hesitant, stumbling pronunciation of hemocyioblast to the easy, precise enunciation of coccidioidomycosis (just like that!). This is the period that was needed to transform the bachelor into the doctor. How much more will be necessary to make the doctor into a physician? ,,u The years have passed rapidly. There are memories . The First Year: Bewilderment. Many nights —and even a few week ends — laboring over Gross; the carefree atmosphere of the dissecting room on the Saturday night before a Monday quiz. Embryology — how did that fetus get in that blank jar anyhow, huh? Neuroanatomy: At this magnification . . . Biochemistry: Do you recall the structural formulae of those twenty-five amino acids? The Second Year: Sympatheticotonia. Pathology: The Bryan Award to R. Mason. Physiology: Wa-al, sixty-six puts you in the upper third. ' Clinical Pathology: Oh. shade of things to cornel ! Pharmacology: Mis- 1 I ' .K B . . .1 How many grains in a gram? The qw of the year and over the hump. Dean Gray goes to Oklahoma . The Third Year: We Clinician. ' . The Dean ' s Committee . . . Haag, Bakeman. Baker. The Transfers: A fine bunch. Medicine: Actually, gentlemen, we know so little about liver function — and we have a number of tests to prove it. Obstetrics: Grin and bear with . . . The last of Calling First Outside OB Doctor. Surgery: Will we have that quiz tomorrow? Orthopedics: And it was in the Handbook all the time! Physical Medicine: Sin x dx. log cos ab - 4 equates to sixty students q. d. equals quiz . and only seventeen more courses to fill in our idle hours. The Fourth (and last) Year: Oh. yeah? Dean Haag — with Mr. Bakeman as his assistant . . . Surgery: Fear and trembling on Friday night and then, on Saturday, the PIT] Medicine: Why don ' t the patients read the textbooks? Pediatrics: Auscultating a calliope! Obstetrics: Twenty- four-hour stats — A howling success! Neuropsychiatry: We all are. Many line times at the S. and B., the frat houses, and at the dances. Finally came June — and the Class of 1948 was graduated. It is impossible to mention the men whose humanity, knowl- edge, and teaching ability have placed these years among the most pleasant of our lives. In the same way the contributions of each of us to the class as a whole cannot be listed. It is with mixed feeling that we leave MCV — we must progress and, as alwavs, we must leave behind. V?}
