The first six-week exam would be on a very minimal amount of material, we were informed. Biochemistry provided to us, a practice exam, and Anatomy, several review sessions on the exam material. But we would not be lulled into the false sec- urity promised usg we had practiced in col- lege with all-niters, and we felt that this exam meant too much to give up that practice. Of course, we were wrong. Saturday morning 8A.M. leven to this day, it remains unnatural to be in school or at the hospital on Saturday? we were all in our as- signed seats lsome without lightingb. Dr. Bennett read a myriad of rules which seemed to emphasize that hundreds of people would be looking over our shoulders, waiting to pounce should our response to a question match that of our neighbors. This is a proc- tored exami' - if a proctor was angered by our question, would we have a case of proc- titis? INSTRUCTIONS 1. Answer as many questions as possible in the time allotted. 2.

In addition, if we still held any awe for our professors and their teaching ability, it decreased as rapidly as did attendance at early morning lectures. People were getting to know one another with increasing intimacy. Notetakers, who dared not record anything outside the subject of the lecture, now added their own com- ments, both comical and political - and were encouraged to do so by the other members of the class. Often, those comments were read with greater intensity than the lecture notes. The conquering of initial subjects only led us to Microbiology and Physiology, and the beginning of foreign accents: a Grecian slant from Angelakos, a Boston slur from Torres, and Wally Cox from Snipes. Our medical friends at Penn and Temple and Jefferson were still concentrating on our beginning subjects - how could we have learned it all in a mere twelve weeks? The Philadelphia winter set in with usual gloom, adding to that of our class as studying became more difficult, an increased number of disciplines to be mastered. Worse yet, the Arabs launched an oil embargo, gas prices rose, and there was talk of tearing down Ben- ny's. Thoughts of Christmas overcame the de- pression many of us suffered that first winter, the chance to see old friends and be free of Hahnemann for ten days. But an exam was just beyond that holiday season - could we be expected to study? 7
