Halpern Assistant Professor of Anatomy Ask any senior his most vivid memory of the Freshman year, he will reply, almost reluctantly Paff -Doctor George Paff, teacher tnever professorj of anatomy. A personality, eccentric. idol, character, call him what you wishg he was a teacher, an educator, a friend. To him and all our instructors in the anatomies we, as all those who have past before us, owe much more than mere gatitude. To their lot feel the task of coaxing, cajoling, threatening and oft times pleading to a group of bewildered, innocent aspiring young men to forego thoughts of brain surgery while learning the meaning of humanity via the dissecting room and microscope. xl A K, . lf. f t Dr. Warren gives out with the nuggets.

s 4-OQQA A Raymond Truex, Ph.D., Head, Division of Anatomy. GENTLEMEN . This is a serious Business To Dr. Raymond Truex and his department is dele- gated the job of teaching anatomy, histology and neuro- anatomy. He must make nomenclature and structure part of our thinkingg to fashion a foundation on which a magnitude of seemingly diversified facts will he amassed in order that thc human body be appreciated as a single functioning unit rather than isolated inter- ossei and livcr cords . . . an infinite task. Cadaver, slides, Grant's Atlas, Jamieson, Strong and Elywyn and Bai1ey's his- tology, we remember them well. The path of the lingual nerve with its dirty swerve, that made us erudite. Most of all the dash to the bul- letin board following the paralyzing hushed whisper -MThe marks are up. The 28 day menstrual cycle somehow became 34 days and 'snow we shall con- sider and appreciate epi- theliumf' The lights come on and Blatt lies sleeping. Then there was Neuro which never did come to- gether as predicted, by the end of the course. Finally, our parting words in ana- tomy . . . uremember the Broad Sweeps.

WHEN FACING Under the enthusiastic guidance of Dr. Boyd and staff, we began to know the complexities of the Kreb cycle, intermediate enzymes, hormonal complex and protein metabolism. Drs. DeFrates, Alper, Oesper, Roth, and Wase made these long hours of study and experiments more than a mere exercise, for what we learned of theories became the facts of health and disease. s r g .4 Drs. C. Alper and P. Oesper L. L Between hands of bridge and a ping-pong match we diligently attempted to extract ATP., etc., from rabbit muscles. Beforehand these same rabbits suffered our man-made hypoglycemic reactions followed by rich glucose IV. Socially you were nothing if seen without the gallon 24 hr. specimen container. QThe kind Promish broke in classroom CJ The fairness of the exams frightened us. Something surely must he wrong! But by the end of our frsehman year we all agreed that biochem was perhaps the most relaxing and enjoyable course as yet. Although we were not masters of fluid balance or protein metabolism the Gamblegrams no longer upset our autonomic systems. v1 ', 4-ylax'a I.
