J CLASS OF l950 OW at that point in fourth year when one treats professors like people, nurses like women, and looks at exams with contempt, we felt that we might pass on to the 3rd, 2nd, and lst year classes a cache of white papers, lon-3 hidden in the faculty tiles, which records the minutes of the yearly faculty meetings at which the fate of the class of T950 was decided. At the exits from all labs there are electri: eyes, and in the sinks of the 8th and 9th floors there are Geiger counters and hidden micro- phones, all of which have aided their collection of data. We have excerpted here the more representa- tive portions. First year faculty meeting: Dr. Detweiler: Where did Sevie get this class? Some of them are older than I, and some of them have the most fantastic questions. One boy wanted to know the area of the capillary bed. Say, Magnus, how would you go about answer- ing a silly question like that? Dr. Gregerson: Well, Det, you see, the square root of T i824 when recorded in Evan's blue ink plus the-well, it's very simple and l'll show you when l find Hans Neuberg's mid-year exam. Dr. Detweiler: All l know is we're going to have to be careful about keeping up, boys. I understand that Chuck Blair even told Byron here about Archimedes' Principle. Dr. Clarke: Well, we seem to have kept ahead of them at least on carbohydrate metabolism. When they began looking cocky we sent Stetten into the pit to introduce another cycle at l8O words a minute. Dr. Gregerson: We've managed to hold them in check. Dr. Wong has been explaining the action of the autonomic nervous system, and we haven't had a single question since he started his demonstration. We've been having Carl Feind sit up in the front row when Dr. Root spins the cats for cerebellar tests. We also kept Billy Jones busy rounding up decoraticate cats- a good job for a Texan. Dr. Truex llooking at class picturesl: Say, who is this fellow Gussen? Haven't seen him around the lab. And is this a student-this one called Foulks? l thought he was an assistant. lt's about time I stopped him when he strolled out of lab at 2:30. Ah! here's B. G.-the boy who memorized the seventeen muscles attached to the scapula and then couldn't remember that it was to the scapula that they were attached. Give him a good grade for effort. That goes for Dave Reis- ner, too. He's no shirker. Do you know he was dissecting down to bone until we told him that the bone boxes were already made up, and that he didn't have to fill them. The radius question on the practical certainly separated the sheep from the goats. 75 sheep called it a clavicle! Why, Ed Colon wouldn't take my word for it and attached it to the sternum of the skeleton iust to show me that if it wasn't, by gum, it should be! Dr. P. Smith: This class has come a long way in histology. At the beginning of the year, Dr. Engle reported overhearing Dwight Morss say he wouldn't recognize liver under the microscope even with two strips of bacon beside it. Lately, Jean Danaher refused to ascribe to Dr. Copenhaver's Unitarian theory of hematopoiesis. She charged it was an unpsychological attempt to force herd thinking. l think this demonstrates the class is becoming interested in the theoretical aspects of Histology. l've always thought the boys seemed quite eager-all trying to sit in the front row for my lectures. Dr. Elwyn: Our little Neuroanatomy quiz sec- tions have been revealing, There's a small group who seems to concentrate on the Red nucleus. Another larger group seems unable to concen- trate on anything during lecture. They have even suggested that l apply for the Kiddies' Lullaby Hour on a local radio station. While the faculty sat discussing us in this man- ner we hopefully packed our bags and nervously sweated out the last week. With exams over we hoped we had come one year closer to an M. D., and when the faculty's decision was made known, we ioyfully took off for our one and only sum- mer vacation. ln subsequent years our talents 'fbi Top left: The uptown poker club, Tap right: Doug sweating out fourth year, Bottom left: ll's different in the labor room. Bottom right: Of course he hears il. were considered indispensable-a fact shared by faculty and students with mixed emotions. ln September, the hay fever sufferer returned to ENT clinic and the student to microscope and bunsen burner. Bacteriology with its carbohy- drate capsules and type specific muco-polysac- charides lalthough lust short of bearablel would have passed by without such strong resentment had it not been for the weekly injections of ty- phoid vaccine which were always administered on Friday afternoons, and our arms felt like freshly baked potatoes for the better part of the week-end, making gridiron cheering of a Satur- day afternoon well nigh impossible. ln Pathology, we began at the beginning, and when the elusive art of sharpening colored pen- cils with the razor's edge had been mastered by even the most bungling members of our group, we set about delving into the private life of the omnipresent and omnipotent land if you will for- give mel anaplastic fibroblast. We can all remember the second year class party at which our growing esprit de corps fairly overwhelmed us all. On that memorable occasion we were privileged to hear speak Dr. Joseph Skin of the Dept. of Pathology, whose case pres- entation of Mr. Ferdinand Dill, a 69-year-old w. d., w. n., NFSTD, white pearl diver from Oconomowoc, Wis., will long be remembered. Mr. Dill's rapidly fulminating downhill course from a metaplasia of his pseudosarcoblasts and his eventual death in pseudosarcoblastoma coma will long live in infamy. Our female members showed their ingenuity and ability with their pro- duction and its star, Gypsy Rose Kerr. By the time the second year faculty met to discuss our class progress we all had a Bauch and Lomb expression on our faces and had be- Yu 15 come used to viewing the world from low and high power, except on week-ends when most of what we saw seemed under oil. Microscopes had become so much a part of us that we began to think that their presence at our desks, even in the absence of the rest of our bodies, would be representative of attendance at Pathology. H. P. -from what we 'found in the faculty files- didn't think so. Further, he felt our attitude to- ward the course was becoming quite lax. Pen- cils, he would say, not heads, must come to a point. At the meeting that year he seemed quite bitter. Dr. Smith: Gentlemen, I may have to speak to the trustees about hiring another guard to stand watch at the door of the amphitheater after 9:05 A. M. l'm having a terrible time with students coming late to my lectures. Take Charlie Crandall and Dick Morgan, for example. They never get there before 9:30. Dr. Franz: But, H. P., Crandall is still honey- mooning. You can't expect him to be there on time! Dr. Ragan: Joe, l wonder if we got the stu- dents confused by disagreeing on so many sub- iects in Clinical Pathology. Do you really expect them to be able to differentiate a monocyte from a myelocyte? Dr. Turner: l don't know Charlie, but from the result of some of those quizzes I'd say some one was confused. Of course l expect them to tell the difference between a monocyte and a my- elocyte. I read Wintrobe the night before that particular lecture and he said that it wasn't difficult at all. lrv. Ackerman never did seem to have any trouble, and Mrs. Halavko knows the difference. Dr. Brown: The most confused person l've run across in the class so far is George Frankel. He was quite elated when he succeeded in finding so many hookworm ova in a stool specimen, then he discovered he was examining his own stool. He was practically on his knees begging some- one to tell him it wasn't so. He iust kept re- peating ova and ova, But doctor, l've never been to Alabama! Top: Bull, bull, and more bull.

So ran the records of the second year meet- ing showing that we had begun to champ at the bit going over and over basic science material. The faculty, however, seemed to realize that our apparent disinterest was really a desire to get into the clinical aspect of medicine. Therefore, with the termination of physical diagnosis we proudly acquired the badge of our chosen pro- fession, the stethoscope, and assured ourselves that we were now on the fringe of true clinical medicine and that the inestimably large gap between pre-clinical and clinical medicine had been successfully crossed. We had acquired new pride and confidence and had picked up the elements of that inimitable medical iargon which disguises common garden variety words so that they are understandable only to the physician. From this point we may have had pyrexia, but never fever, we may have experienced anorexia, but never lost our appetite. Similarly we sagely came to take for granted that S.B.E. did not stand for soft boiled egg, that P.A. was not Prince Albert, that L.M.D. meant only lousy med- ical doctor, and S.O.B. meant-short of breath. Surely we all felt that at last we were learning something, progress had begun to be made. We were beginning to rise above the common herd of humanity. Perhaps we had arrived. With the advent of our third year, end-to- end anastomosed to the terminal segment of our second, our class was divided into four parts- the groups were Medicine, Surgery, Specialties, and electives. Also in our third year, the class received a transfusion of new green blood from Dartmouth. The records show that the third year faculty had become quite enthusiastic about our class. Dr. Humphries: Good afternoon, Fowler. I came early to get out in time for Virginia's cock- tail party. Where's the class list? Now, let's see, Feind? . . . Dr. Fowler: Yes, George, remember that name. He's specializing with me in ENT. He should get A's. At least he knows the ear and therapy with streptomycin. Dr. Humphries: This girl, Dot Estes, helped me 1 X E, f lx V YT . I , NJ. -In l .5 .,.. J , Left: Who ees thees fellow Paul White? Center: Tell her to hold it! Right: Increased densities. on a hydrocoele operation this afternoon. She's a good girl. I thought she was asleep, but she said she was right on the ball. Dr. Loeb: You know, I agree, this class is really good. Each student did at least 800 blood counts, 750 urines, and 543 stools. They know how to do lab work outside the sink. And pre- senting-why, Nat Poker made wire recordings of all his presentations before he came in on Friday. I think every third-year man at Bard should have a recorder. l'll suggest it to Dean Rappleye. He'll get Evelyn and Jim to take care of it. Dr. Merritt: l've been looking at the class pic- tures. Who is this redeheaded fat boy? I haven't seen him at Neurological. Dr. Loeb: Oh, that's DeWitt. I thought of hav- ing him assemble his gems for the house staH for a formal course, then I caught him chewing gum while I was lecturing. Don't confuse him with Ray Jaffe, the boy who wears cz vest. l've marked Ray, he took Yale's second-year lecture on clothes to heart. Dr. Turner: These men should know more scientific medicine. I doubt that many of them could do a serum amylase as accurately as Tom Cheves does at 2 A. M. Dr, Severinghous: Sorry l'm late. l've been held up. Forty people still want July vacations, and between getting this class married, their children born, houses at Shanks, baby sitters, and scholarships, I haven't had time to think about where I want them to intern. On that score, l'm sure you want them to intern at the better hospitals, so l'm expecting you to cooperate on the matter of grades. We can't have the Boston and Baltimore groups outdo us in placing men in the top spots. Dr. Loeb: I say, Cannon, my Juniors have been reporting to me that this third-year class is so impressed with your L. P. technique they have refused to use our studied twenty-towel, two-nurse, threeesyringe, asceptic method. Dr. Cannon: Well, suh, l've done so many L. P.'s on the crowned heads of Europe and Washington that I think l've tound the essential mistake you all have been making. You all don't relax up there on Medicine. Why, all you have to do is relax your wrist, after turning back your French cuffs, of course lyou mustn't be carelessl, and lunge forward. I hoven't missed one in 40 years. Dr. Loeb: Well, I do suppose that some of my intern juniors are fussy, but we must preserve P. H. technique. Dr. Taylor: l thought this class was very con- cerned with technique. Most of my lectures on practical obstetrics and gynecology were well attended. I might add that there wasn't a single case of pseudocyesis reported in this year's group. These notes from the third-year faculty meet- ing showed us that the faculty was beginning to think of us as individuals, and by the time June of I9-'19 had rolled around the average student was, in his own estimation ot least, an estab- lished clinician and more than ready to assume the decadent fourth year life. We had reached the promised land. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the fourth year history can no longer be recorded via the hidden microphone. There was only one faculty meeting that year for the sole purpose of deciding whether we would have comprehen- sives or not, and thus far no report has arrived. The fourth year-that wonderful, glorious, slap-happy, restful fourth year. They even called us doctor. The class split into six isolated parts, but there were a few outstanding memo- ries common to us all. First and foremost, the lO days of incarcera- tion in the labor room- For God's sake, doctor, it's a baby, not a football-steady, steady! The running feud with the student's friend --the obs. nurse-then for a little variety, Dot Estes and B. O. Plenty. Let us never forget those invaluable meal tickets. They fed many a starv- ing, deserving medical student for the rest of the year. On to Bellevue, where the gambling instinct flourished and we learned the inestimable art of inspection lonly the more hardy souls ven- tured close enough to the patients to practice other methods of physical diagnosisl that, plus the ego-destroying phenomenon of lung cavities that vanished under the fluoroscope. Now we were ready for electives-Goldwater, with its memories of long hours in the dining room faithfully waiting for second helpings, INTERNSHIP PARTY. Top: We've never had a better year.

Top right Which one has the Toni? Bottom left: Off to Cooperstown-hahl Bottom right: You can't go out every night. Cooperstown, 220 miles from the Ivory Tower, where we finally got our hands on a real, live patient all our own, St. Luke's, where we were treated like doctors and gentlemen, and Roose- velt, with its television and pool table. Then that vague, nostalgic month of Special- ties-Xeray quizzes, bladder chatter, orthopods, and Thursday afternoons with Dr. Miller: Now, doctah, look at that patient again. You all must learn skin covers the whole patient. Finally, vacations - that long-awaited month - off to parts unknown. It was wonderful to learn the art of loafing again. Back to Group Clinic, an amiable, instructive two months of being a diagnostician lnot a bad racket at alll. Last, Pediatrics with those darling, squalling little brats only a mother could love, Don Tschudy and Charley Lewis made the su- preme sacrifice - measles. At various times throughout the year, the independents of the class hopefully anticipated graduation and took substitute interneships at hospitals throughout the city. Apparently they were much enioyed, espe- cially the new sensation of giving an order and having it obeyed. They also learned the truth of the old saw, The interne toils from sun to sun. 'Tween nurses and work, it's never done. Then there were the lectures-outstanding in more ways than one, being Saturday morning. Judging by attendance, a large segment of the class was unaware lectures were scheduled, but there's always the Old Faithfuls, the group of ll internes-elect of the Columbia Division, Bellevue, who were always present at the 8-9 class. And then there was Forensic Medicine with its fascinating rotogravure and Dr. Honger's diagnostic class where the by-now medical ex- perts learned there's many a slip 'twixt proto- rss ,al X 1. col and post. As everyone knows, the climax of the year was lnterneships. The tortured applica- tions-recommendotions that praised without, shall we say, influencing, and the eternal ques- tion, Wonder how the Dean'll phrase it? - This boy is in the uppermost portion of the lower tenth of the class, he has shown marked improvement in his clinical years, etc. Then the interviews, with the anxious moments of waiting outside the office, the delicate ethics of stating that each hospital was first in your heart, and those sadistic questions: Hemochromatosis, grams protein in the rice diet, and how many syn- dromes can you name in thirty seconds. The night of Nov. l5-waiting for the ringing of the telephone or that messenger of fate, the W. U. boy. And the Dean's oFlice with Dr. S. in shirt- sleeves, iuggling like mad and his ever-faithful wife attempting to assuage our hyperacidity with tea and cookies. Finally, it was all over but the gossip of who went where and why. Not quite, though, for there was the next day's party- lO3 students in a state of euphoria, and a big time had by all. Well, it's about at an end now, and far be it from us to say we're sorry, but all in all, it was fun and, as we've tried to show, it had its moments. So orchids to us, we've made it!

ROBERTSON is awakened by that inner voice crying: You're not learn- ing a thing rolling around in the sack until 6:30, arise and study nature, not books, for these are the clinical years. Goaded by the realization that this is Friday, and he has the first bed on the left, he is careful to pick out iust the right regimental stripe and smooth some extra ox- blood polish over his thick soled cordovans. Quickly checking the armamentarium of pens, multi-colored pencils, hemostat, bandage scis- sors, pearl pad, and vest pocket E. K. G., he pauses only long enough to test the razor-sharp edges of his cleats. At breakfast with a neurological colleague he hears news of the boys fighting disease up- town. Our hero is somewhat surprised to see so few familiar faces up and about until he realizes that the surgeons only work half-day, nine to nine. Then it's off to the ward with a prayer for a short blood list and a brilliant day with the foil. Feeling more like a vampire than a blessed healer, he smiles grimly at each patient in turn as he tries to explain why 250 cc. are needed for this morning's test. While plowing blindly through rainbow-hued anticubitae, he tries to keep from thinking of the patient who iust yes- terday went into grand mal seizure as one stu- dent tried to get 5 cc. for a vital serum asphalt. Finally it's over-the scrub-up tray is a shambles and two of the prothrombins clotted-but it's over. Now there's iust time for a urine or two be- fore Dr. Loeb's rounds, so Argyll takes his place in the lab, already bustling with the activity of the rest of the drones, for this is Medicine be- fore the arrival of the technicians. Suddenly the cry General Quarters rings out above the tumult and the fetid little room spews forth its sweating multitude, leaving an anguished George to tidy up. No towels today, he mut- ters, as he dodges a hematocrit tube tossed in the general direction of the sink by a flying flunky. As he takes his place in ranks, Argyll is pleased to note that the curtains are modestly drawn around cubicle first on the left. Mrs. Gon- zales is receiving her morning care on schedule -no use taking unnecessary chances. While they wait for the arrival of the Professor, the platoon leaders pace nervously, remembering that black Friday on which the first roll cclll in thirty years was taken. Now the hour strikes. The troops snap to attention, as Dr. Loeb and the Grand Dragon appear on the scene. And so rounds have begun. Argyll knows from the frantic look on the face of the hapless character next to him that he has suddenly forgotten whether it was bad blood or the menarche which Mrs. Schultz first noticed at the age of six. As the presentation begins, our embryonic healer gives it his undivided at- tention for a while, but then his mind begins to wander back to other mornings during this all-important third year. Back to those carefree days on the wards of Shelter lsland General during his summer elective, where team rounds are enlivened by a weenie roast on the beach. Back to those mornings as a slave on the l8th floor, every muscle crying out in rebellion after several hours hauling hooks. Back to that morn- ing on Otolaryngology when a well-known cig- arette manufacturer snapped his picture as he took that first exciting look through a head mir- ror. Back to that morning on Dermatology when he began wishing that Columbus had not been so damn friendly with the Indians. He is roused from these ramblings by a hearty fiddle-dee- dee and reioinder to one rather long-limbed student to resist his atavistic tendencies and stop swinging from the curtain rods. Next, the gathering is transported to a mythi- cal cool flowing stream and a picture of the Pro- fessor flipping iust the right flies into trout-laden pools. As a presentation resumes, Argyll's atten- tion again wanders, this time to the 20-year-old telephone operator who entered with chief com- plaint of tinnitus for two years. He wonders whether he will ever be able to consider such a delightful distribution in space as iust one more physical finding. His musing takes him so far afield that he fails to notice the tense silence which has fallen X :aaa ani: DI op DDI I DDI .1 :aa I ay :asians quasars :faaaon ifaakaa VFNH vu 0' I Axis.. 3 ll falaax DDI 99 -Z TNF , ' I, .ix 4?

EoHo'rw A Norge tumour for PubHc Health, Sn-Mvh doc: over the group until it is sucldenly punctuated by the sickening thud of an alpenstock grinding into human flesh and a small-voiced: Beryllium poisoning? from one of the eager faces in the front row. The congratulatory handshake is mod- estly accepted and another beaver has climbed to the top of the dam. But now a glance at the clock tells the Pro- fessor that time has run out, so, with a benign smile at the human wreckage strewn around him, he makes a rapid departure, while some of the brighter lads try to keep pace for those last few words. Argyll is torn by mixed emotions. He is re- lieved that he did not get a chance to make a fool of himself, yet at the same time it would be nice to have the ordeal out of the way, and then he did turn down a pair of theatre tickets shyly proffered by the head nurse, iust so he could stay home and pin down those cases. Any- how he is delighted by the prospect of two weeks of grace. This bright ray is dulled some- what, however, by the daily noon confiict be- tween hunger and conscience. Argyll has de- vised a neat trick for resolving this in favor of the lecture by merely considering that the recent increase in tuition brings an hour of instruction into the same economic bracket as a seat at the Polo Grounds. This mercenary reinforcement is usually enough to tip the balance. lt would a'l be so simple if the pelvis were a stovepipe and the fetal head a billiard ball. Almost before he realizes it the hour is over, the cord is cut, and our boy begins the mad dash for what some- one in the front olfice, in a masterful stroke of understatement, has described as overtaxed feeding facilities. Picking his way gingerly be- tween compressed air hammers and the general- ized shambles of reconstruction which will some day put the Persian Room to shame, he can't help but wonder what they found wrong with the old Cloaca. Luckily, there is no gendarme at the entrance, so no need for the well-re- hearsed speech explaining that medical students are an integral part of The Team, and there- fore should be privileged to use the dining room along with the elevator men, orderlies, and other vital cogs. After a quick lunch and a nasty look from the cashier, our boy wonder is ready for his preceptor conference. These meetings vary wide- ly in the degree of trauma they entail, depend- ing on the nature of th instructor. Preceptors fall roughly into two categories. There are those who end every sentence with a what am l thinking of now question. This can be rather devastating, especially right after lunch. The other group is composed of individuals who seem to prefer the sound of their own voice to all other forms of auditory stimulation. Argyll is pleased that his preceptor falls into the latter category, it's more restful that way, and besides he occasionally picks up a pearl. We could continue this description of a day in the life of a typical third-year student ad nauseam, but to what avail. If in future years we are able to turn back to these few lines and have them stir up fond memories, they will have served their purpose. The First Year was grim business for most of us. We were tackling some- thing entirely new. There were few associations to which to tie the vast amount of material we were supposed to assimilate. If someone had told us that we were going to hear it all over and over again we might not have worried quit? so much. Still, we found time to mix pleasure with business, some even to the extent of getting married. Second Year we began to feel more at home. Interest began to pick up because we were learning about disease, still from the book -but more to the point. lt was pleasant to find some of the things we had covered, coming up for a second time. We were generally looser, but quizzes kept us hopping. Now more of us were finding time to get married. Toward the end of the year the big transition really began, so gradually that few of us realized what was happening. That first physical diagnosis session at Bellevue or Goldwater showed us that the things we had been reading about actually ex- isted in flesh and blood. Third Year has been an improvement over the first two in that, now, we are able to see the forest in spite of the trees. Atchley, Hanger, Loeb, and company have given us some rough moments, and often made us feel like the char- acter by Abner Dean, but for the most part we've enjoyed the process.

The scene: The grand ballroom of one of America's most luxurious hotels. The festive group is composed in the main of extremely prosperous looking physicians, Phi Bet keys flash continuously in the bright light, and all are happily and busily dissecting the special turkeys prepared for the occasion. These birds, grown on the l2th floor at P 8. S, all have nega- tive heterophile agglutination titers, low anti- streptolysin values, and have been triple screened for carcinogen content. P 81 S, as we can see, is very anxious to insure the continued good health of this, its finest graduating body! As we circulate among the tables with Drsi Herbert, Wikler and Fink . . . all of whom are taking pictures lproceeds to Class fund, as has been the custom since l949I we overhear a sur- prising amount of reminiscence about experi- ences in Pathology, Bact, etc., which date back to that memorable year. Apparently even 27 years cannot erase the memory of the private Path slips Igroan . . . my first IOO rating in Med schooll, of rabbits whose ear veins iust wouIdn't stand out IHerb Magram . . . I didn't know what I was doing, the rabbit didn't know what I was doing, and with the complicated index system to the lab manual, the Assistant didn't event know what I was supposed to be doing! l Memories recall pencils that wouIdn't stay sharp, slide unknowns that really were un- known, and drawings that never quite satisfied ... oh, to be a Bob Carlson! A commotion at the door . . . ah, here are Iatecomers. Dr. Reed, iust arrived by plane from London, where he has been lecturing on Vita- min C and the Russian Problem , and Dr. Ale- nick, with his camel-hair scotch beret. tYou could walk a mile, and still spot itl. A commo- tion is flaring at the southern end of the ball- room, where Drs. Brandon, Key, Allen, Bragg, Flowers, Wheliss, Margolies, Orr 81 Shipp have risen to toast Will Waller's famous individual rights speech, dating back to the class meet- ings which debated everything from insurance policies to the wholesale price of a hemocy- tometer. This has started a buzz through the hall, as memories stir of Jack Shiller 8. Bill Pollin's savings plan, which . . . unexpectedly . . . brought the bookstore and Dean Severinghaus to our class councils. Drs. Chanin, Todd 8. Ult- mann are ioking together, apparently recalling their leading role in the Allergy lectures . . . it was so nice of Ellen to demonstrate serum sickness lust before the oral quiz! A neurologist at this table . . . is it Paul Beres? . . . is speak- ing of Dr. WoIf's fine lectures, lf only they hadn't been given in the dark . . . in that warm Amp. F . . . after we'd iust been to Bard or the CIoaca. Arno Macholdt is ioking about the introduction to clinical problems presented that winter. Big CPC's on Tuesdays, little CPC's on Thursday, and Clinical Pathology as a course. While the CPC's demanded imagination and some perspicacity, the latter demanded . . . and got . . . blood. In the NW corner of Path lab, on Tuesday mornings, Drs. Louria, Haynes, Hosmer, Ketcham et al learned as much differen- tial diagnosis as Pathology! That mid-year sem- ester with its pipettes and Sahli tubes plus seven other courses admittedly drew blood in more ways than one . . . but the ninth course! Will those of us who took special senses, with its relaxing labs tno exams, iust dissection for pleasure and Iearningl ever forget Dr. Det- weiler's announcement to the effect that . . . Gentlemen, the final exam will center about a beer keg in Bard HalI ? The Cominskys are here, laughing because someone has iust reminded them how Molly used to arrive late in Bact. or Path Lab, after a quick cup of coffee with her man. With them are Tom Hamilton and Bill Garcelon, who is saying: We should have had time for more extra- curricular activities in second year. . . . to which Drs. Scaglione and Schneider lwith the Metropolitan and City Center Opera companies in mindl are emphatically nodding agreement. Marianne Wolff, we notice, is still surrounded by publishing house representatives. Since word got to Lippincott in late 1950 about the excel- lence of this class's thesis, Kay Lobach and Roz Kane ICIass Historian Committeel and, of course, Jeanne Armstrong as Class Secretary, have had to help the Keeper of the tiles to keep track of the requests for publication rights which poured in from medical iournals in every part of the world. Almost all memories of their first year have faded for these gentlemen, but not, apparently, those of their Class Day, held in May, 1949.

One first year Prof. recalls another, and mention of Dr. Detweiler's neu- roanafomy slide from the atlas of Gearshift and Crankshaft showing the Mae Westiform body, Ridiculous formation, Bundle of Laundry, etc., has caused a howl.

The summer between first and second years was a big one for many people in the class, with Denny Cox, Bill Reed, Eli Silverman, Henry Payson and Arthur Hall visiting Europe, Ernie Tucker doing so as part of his temporary duty with the Merchant Marine. Gerry Wong returned to Honolulu, where wedding bells soon pealed, as they later did for the Abruzzis, Ghents, Her- berts and Wiklers. By i950 engagement toasts were also due the Holubs, Wheliss's and Wilder- mans. The meal is over and President Shipp is ris- ing to speak. A standing vote of applause is being given Joe, who is more responsible than any other one classmate for the wonderful class functions and the fine spirit built up during the first two years.

The l2O chosen from some 2,800 applicants were strolling about their new milieu, peaking into the besmoked students' room, and doing some heavy buying at the bookstores. They decided between Gray, Morris and Cunningham, listening intently and often unwisely to upperclassman advice. Indeed, they were all feeling overly proud about their past accomplishments and all ready to dig in for new conquests. For this was the real stuFf now, no more get- ting it second-hand-in Arrowsmith, An Ameri- can Doctor's Odyssey, or The Horse and Buggy Doctor. Now would come the sophisticated trans- formation, the mastery of a new language, the understanding of new concepts, the acquisition of a huge bulk of vital information. Old mis- conceptions would be thrust away. All presumably came with some philosophic animus, influenced by the typical American lib- eral arts education, and tempered by the pull- ing power of the scientific method. Brought with them, therefore, was the desire to understand the basic principles of human organization and function. How does good old Homo Sapiens transform its energy lnutritioni bringing about its activities and responses to stimuli? How does the noblest of primates integrate these activities and responses? What, for example, is behind the often absurb behavior of humankind? They'd learn it all, like the famous song of Detweiler and Shapiro implied. And they'd learn much of the basic stuff in their first year-em- bryology, anatomy, microanatomy, psychiatry, biochemistry and physiology. But woe and begone, the work began to come. What philosophic analysis could be left in tired students memorizing a welter of facts. Their first week seemed like a term at college. They really welcomed the First Year Reception, sponsored by the P and S Club, that first Friday night. They were pleased to hear again how carefully they were chosen. Dean Serevinghaus spoke and pro- vided some interesting statistics. The l29 stu- dents of the Class of i953 received their under- graduate education in 47 colleges and came from 27 states. About one-third were Gotham- ites. Sixty-five of the lO8 males were vets. The average age of civilian students was 20, of vets, 25. There were three foreign students in the class. Backgrounds of the students were interest- ing and diverse. Some had been physics and philosophy maiors. They had been campus illumi- naries, athletic stars, magazine editors and class presidents. Having learned some more about themselves they went back to their iobs, and, excepting a Saturday night out, stayed with it-at least until after the first exam, They did take out enough time to elect their class officers. Quietly, the three best represented colleges put their candidates forward and Old Eli came out best. Pierce Smith and George Cahill were elected president and vice-president, respectively. How 'lil .lulie Schoepf of Vassar became secretary-treasurer is a problem for Mr. Kaltenborn. They were forced to take time out for physi- cal exams, and for X-rays that, for technical reasons, had to be repeated. Some gave their life for science contributing their thyroids to the radio-active iodine experiments of Dr. Sidney Werner. Some gave their lives and blood to science and SiO. They all met Albert after Professor Elftman very graciously introduced them to the 30 stiffer members of the class. The Organizer became a pass word. Chuck or Spinal Noback, as he was vari- ously called, to his face and behind his back, became a favorite, the only complaint being that he might be charming as hell but he dis- couraged rote memorizotion. They became enamored to correlative clinics, especially after Dr. Kneeland's dramatic presentation of a co- arctation of the aorta. All, save Princeton men, became equally enthralled with Dr. Cahill, who covered, among other things, the topic of how Princeton men became birds. ln the correlative lectures they even were able to forget the un- pleasant seating built for dwarfs, and the poor ventilation which hardly bespoke for the health- consciousness of the P and S faculty. Some, at least, found the going unpleasant and rough. For what's intellectual about degluti- tion and micturition that swallowing and urina- tion won't take care of? Some of the doctors- to-be feared being institutionalized. They won- --:sag . .

If he had a stethoscope he was a second year man, if tongue depressors jutted out of his pockets he was already doing rounds. Everyone was looking for the day he would reach that blue ground, especially by the time the first exams came in mid-October. By then they had scouted the restaurants in the area, were familiar with the Cloaca, had gotten their meal jobs at Bard. They had learned the proper nemonics, like the ones for the motor branches of the facial nerve, the branches of the external carotid and twelve cranial nerves, and no one would ever forget Tilly or the carpal bones. Some were buying every chart, textbook, and cram manual available. Of course, there was the bridge group that always emerges, and a few poker fiends ap- peared, paying for their lunches out of winnings from neophytes who couldn't get convinced that inside straights don't pay off. Of course, there was the extensive Kaffee-Klatsch, which de- parted daily at lO:lO A. M. from Dr. Smith's famed laboratory after carefully setting up their scopes to carry on in absentia. As the exams approached a new word be- came current-spasticity. For the collective mus- cles of '53 P 81 S becamue taut, their tongues were especially rigid. Any noise brought an ex- aggerated reflex. The air was alive with newly acquired medical jargon, alive with the chatter of those who told more than they knew, and of those feigners who complained of knowing nothing. Conversation became fantastic. The Junior Medicos described people medically lor like the FBIJ. Persons had apoplectic faces, brown liver spots on their right cheek, or a cleft chin. Some stalwarts were influenced by Cheaper by the Dozen and made efficiency time and motion studies, developing special techniques for taking notes. Out came medical jargon, disturb- ing dates and families. Medical school jokes were the order of the day, including terms not always sanctioned by the Basle Anatomical Con- vention. After the first exam things cooled off, atti- tudes changed, students began to realize that P 8. S wasn't here to flunk them out and keep them under pressure. They could learn as suited their personalities. By the end of the second anatomy exam in early December, students were in good spirits. They put on a terrific freshman party under the jurisdiction of Jerry Dickinson. Fred Duhl of Co- lumbia College Varsity Show fame and Jim Neely of Princeton's Triangle Club worked up a new show. Fred wrote a catchy show number lt's All in Fun and Jim wrote and delivered I Am the Life of the Laboratory using his facial muscles of expression to mimic the faculty. Lucky Jim also did a soft shoe number with Kansas Lucy. One major attraction of the show was Dick Shapiro and Oscar Detweiler's Ova and Ova Again. As if it were part of the education, at least two of the boys found themselves in the operat- ing room. Both Pete Rittner and Grove Potter re- ceived appendectomies. Honors and fortune also came to three of the students, Philip Aisen and Fred Duhl, both of Columbia College, and Jay Meltzer of Princeton won New York State medical scholarships. Bob Eddy survived the birth of a baby son, Jonathan, in the fall. George Cahill was married in December, and pretty little Ana Cordero of Puerto Rico was married the evening of the last anatomy exam-not squeamish! By welcome holiday time the class had strug- gled through a plethora of exams, met the fabu- lous Lord Byron in neuroanatomy and prepared for the vacation by a few pre-pre-pre Christmas parties. With Christmas went everything intellec- tual. Social life breathed strong. ' Upon return from the holiday wassail the re- vived group settled down again to prepare for the neuro and gross finals. But they did find time to plan a skating party at Rockefeller Cen- ter which never did come off, because of the weatherman. Later, the class will have an eve- ning roller-skating party at the Stork, says Neely. And while the topic is turned to the class comedian, mention must be made of his and Freddie Duhl's fine efforts at the second Fresh- man party. Their performances were rudely in- terrupted, though. First of all some old Columbia fellow named Bob Milch had a battle over some girl, and then Bob Bielman attracted Mo Malthan down a ladder. As the first half of their medical school career drew to a close P85 frosh were seen as half- oriented, half-sophisticated medicos hoping the results of their exams were commensurate with their happy feelings about a great school.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS E acknowledge with thanks the many people who have aided us in the prepa- ration of this publication. It is impossible to mention everyone by name because space does not permit, but to all who have helped, we extend our sincere gratitude. To the members of the entire staff, in all four classes, who provided a large share of the written material and photographs, we say congratulations on a good iob and best of luck on P8-S '51, '52 and '53. Our Bard Hall secretary, Betsy Payne, was more than patient when she deciphered our illegible script, and translated it to the neat typewritten page. Mrs. C and Freddy, at the front desk of Bard, were wonderfully co-operative in spite of all the phone calls and messages that deluged the switchboard. A word too, to the men at Charlie's desk who helped us to see that every senior knew when his yearbook picture was to be taken. When we wanted to know who in the class lived where, and how he could be reached stat, Miss Phelps, in the Dean's office, was always ready with her magical files of vital statistics. Our budget was admirably balanced by Miss Brady, in the Bursar's office. She had the most polite way of telling us we'd overdrawn our account. Special thanks must go to Mr. Terzian, our photographer, for his many trips from the studio in Manhasset, L. l., and for the fine prints of the seniors, the classes and the fraternities which he provided. Mr. Kelly, our publisher and technical adviser, spent many arduous hours with the members of the editorial staff, helping P8.S '50 grow from a pencil-sketch embryo to a padded-covered adult. We are grateful to aur advertis- ers, the local merchants, medical firms and the contractors at Van- derbilt Clinic, without whose sup- port this book would not have been possible. And lastly, to you our subscribers for whom this vol! ume was printed, thank you very Sgxx . o Q J - a. 'Q 5' 2 -.. -.
