X le vast knowledge a physician must have in order to take his rightful place of service in his world has become a living part of the young man who leaves the corridors of his Alma Mater. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. . . . Longfellow MEDICINE

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS TTAYING recovered, in part, from the high mortality and morbidity of the Junior Final Exams., J-J- we embarked upon our Senior year of school here at the Obstetrical College of Virginia. To the wards and clinics we went, having much more self-confidence than last year at this time, dressed in our whites, carrying our bags and little black brains in our pocket. Yes. our pearl books soon became our most trusted and loyal friends — containing everything ' from the normal serum applesauce levels to the weekly football card. We still missed Hennigar at the C. P. C. ' s but Ringling Bros., Barnum and Hume met each Saturday morning to spice up things, not to mention play by play descriptions of Coleman ' s 763 Wookie operations. Although we had to take call at home or work nights and week ends we still had to send the Dean a letter explaining why we needed space in the goat lot. Seems like after room had been alotted to the dentist ' s tennis courts, the new turnpike, and parking spaces for dental, pharmacy and physical therapv students, nurses, secretaries, housekeeping and building and grounds, there just wasn ' t enough room for medical students. Meanwhile King and his trusted dog, Sgt. Miller, guarded the lot diligently. Speculation ran high as to who was going to be the new professor of Medicine, but the big question that we repeated to each other all year was, Where ya going to intern? Who did ya rank first? It is with much nostalgia that we think back over these four rapid, crowded, bustling years of hard work, fun, pleasant and unpleasant memories, realizing that — although Medical School is about to end — the study of medicine has just begun.
