-4.35 -:Q ' -cb' dl? Dr. Howe. may I ask a IlllPSli0ll?-. In November. attendance at local and not-so-local football games dropped as exams began to come fast and furiously. As usual. the bacti department lead off. this time with an objective item pithily described by Dr. Rose as 'ca real give-away, who gave what to whom not being specified. By this time. anyone who missed even one word of the staph. strep or pneumococcus lectures had malaise, anorexia, low-grade fever and a marked headache. Dr. Howe omciated beforehand as usual. The path department followed this up with one of its quarterly marathons. The path notebooks were handed in for the first time and returned about a week later with no comment. A few enter- prising souls approached instructors and asked for criticisms. At this tirne, anyone in the vicinity of an instructor going over a notebook with a red- laced student was liable to pick up such choice com- ments as: . . all of your nuclei look alike . . or 'ig .complete lack of proportion . , or . . why donit you sharpen your pencil occasionally . , U Pathology? You don't hare to flrau' anything ns far as Pm COlli'07'l1l'd.,u

Don Brow n just edged out Dr. llose to win the question-asking: championship in bacti. The hardier members of the class who turned out for the medicine-pathology class before the hacti final were electrified by Hank Rogers' dive from about the middle of Amphitheatre H to the first row. He was halted there by some fancy headwork hy Dave Berman plus rapid footwork lay Thorpe Kelly and several others. Alter the last bacti lecture. Dr. Rose coolly di- vulged the number and nature of the final exam questions. whit-h immobilized some individuals and stimulated others to frenzied activity. The pathology department was dehilitated as first Dr. Stewart and then Dr. Smith fell into the awful elutf-hes of the surgery department. The class ex- pressed its svmpathv by sending flowers to both and. in addition. Dr. Smith was presented with a hook of drawings hy another great proponent of medif-al art- Leonardo da Vinci.
