IT hardly seems possible that there can be more bewildered people on ear ' i than we were when we first came Into training. Our first days were occupied with orientation proceedings at the Univer- sity of Buffalo and here. It is surprising how quickly we learned our way around, and became more acquainted with the hospital and each other. At our first class meeting, we elected temporary class officers who were to serve until January. They included Jean Adrian as president, Veda Neville as vice-president, Kathleen Schwenkel as secretary, and Carol MoUon as treasurer. During the month of October, we were faced with the dreaded prospect of initiation by the Jun- iors. We were in for a big surprise when that night arrived. We had thought that it would be hor- rible. Visions of short-sheeted beds, topsy-turvy rooms, and gruesome physical torture filled our dreams the previous night. We were really amazed at the humanity of the upper classmen. Everyone had a wonderful time, and it proved to be one of the highlights of our training. It soon became evident that the freshmen would need finances for the future. Up to date we have sold Christmas corsages, Millard Fillmore bracelets, and are now working on future projects. The highlight of our preclinical period was our Christmas party which proved to be a huge success. Careful planning on the part of Jeannie No wok, and co-operation of all the members of the cast and assistants, brought about the success of a variety show and a short ploy titled The Littlest Angel . In February we elected new class officers; they included Joan Grace as president, Linda Neasel- tre as vice-president, Carol Mallon as treasurer, and Kathleen Schwenkel as secretary. The class is looking forv ard to other projects with the hope of success. 51
