Breen, Roscoe T. 'PHE JUNIOR YEAR 1 1 i 1 lr i 1 ll Our number was st-ill nineteen when we began our third, the Junior Year. Some had fallen by the wayside, thereby reduc- ing the original group but these were reinforced by some who had dropped back from the class ahead. The Class Roll now was as follows:- Bodenbender, Arthur N. Neff, George Hugh Roman, Desiderio A. BU-1118, John Lawrence Crowther, Paul Carr Dodies, Louis Geclneler, Edwin 0. Hale, Matthew James Hanby, Forwood Evans Hartman, Samuel Allen Lessig, Daniel Kepner Stitzel, Elwood Wakefield Szall, John B. Thomas, Boone Thompson, John Riley Toomey, John Michael Williams, Raymond A. Zapf, Reville D. Very delightful indeed did we think the year was at first when the actual practical work of the various dispensaries came as a welcome relief from the dry, monotonous routine of theory and laboratory. When however the first week passed and also the second and we still found it necessary to carry those roster cards to find out where to go to next, we began to realize that there was going to be plenty of work in the Junior year and that Our path was not strewn with roses alone. With the class divided into three sections and each section agin divided into a sub-section A and sub-section B, we were split up into groups of three except for one section of four men. Such small groups gave us wonderful opportunities for actual practical work in the different dispensaries and often resulted in the situation being one of an many instructors as there were students. Really one might say, the benefits of private instmction. Examinations came to be the rule rather than the excep- tion and while it is to be doubted whether anyone of us ever got over being just a little nervous regarding examinations ,neverthe- less we soon acquired somewhat of the contempt that is said to be bred of familiarity. There were some fifty examinations in all during the entire year.

But the Junior Year was not all work for the men of 1922. Not with all the pep and vigor which must needs find its outlet somewhere. So, picture in your mind the large clinical amphith atre. It is shortly before one o'cleck -- the Thursday clinic hour. Outside the door leading to the floor of the amphi- theatre Dr. Bartlett nervously awaits the one o'clock bell. Go on new from his point of view. There on the front rwo of seats are ten strange faces. Ten faces that make you think immediately of foreign scientists. Who are these ten strangers ? Are they visiting physicians and surgeons from se e foreign country ?Uait, you shall see. All round the little group the classes fill in and the clinic begins. Throughout the rows of students there seems to run a wave of ill-suppressed amusement. What is the disturbance? Dr.3artlett and the ten strangers alone were sober-faced. Nervous- ly the hour proceedsg the lecture goes on and the ten strangers are furiously occupied taiing notes. The two o'clock bell soundsg the joke is sprung. Whom else had we here but ten of the gay young Juniors absolutely disguised through the speedy and clever work of Ray Williams. The johe was an absolute successg but it was not over yet. Not long after,three of the ten were given an involuntary vacation of two weeks. The institute Banquet was another bright spot in the grim, gray realitv of everyday school. Gaming as it did dur- ing the month of February, it served to break the monotony of that long stretch between Christmas and Easter. Belated but pleasant was our trip through the biological laboratories of the H. K. Hulford Company. There we hurriedly passed through the numerous departments of the enormous establish- ment and gained a faint idea of how some of the things which are to be used almost daily by us in later years are made. Gained an idea of the great amount of preparation even the simplest thing in medicine represents and how much united and cooperative effort on the part of an army of efficient workers is necessary even to produce just the simple vaccination point. Two solid weeks of examinations terminated the year for us. Never before had any of us been subject to such a grand and well will we remember the relief which came over us when we were able to say WThat was the last oneu. 14.6
