mg i ,.Yf - f - 7 W X OUR LEADER-Brad Cutshall guided us el Senior Presidenfs Farewell To those many people, wives, parents, faculty, and friends who have made the past four years possible we give our thanks. Without your support, moral and financial, the acquiring of an education would have been much more difficult. Our contact with the basic sciences will always leave us with an appreciation for these disciplines and their place in the medical profession. The clinical part of our training has brought us into contact with many fine people. Many of us have been inspired by particular persons with whom we have had close relationships and after whom we might try to pattern ourselves. A special wish for Dr. joseph H. Row-we hope your future years will be as rewarding for you as the past years have been for your students. To Dr. Roe and the many others we say thanks for the time and interest you have devoted to teaching and directing us. Dr. Parks: Thank you for your patience, tolerance, and help with the problems which have arisen. Please be assured of our continuing interest and help in the building of a new physical plant and in improving an already fine curriculum. Quay B. Cutshall through a most successful senior year with VIGAH. 1. -is-a e. .L .mumun 2 l CLOSING ASSEMBLY is one ofthe high- lights of graduation week because of such speakers as Dr. Harold Stevens.

But there is a long hard road to climb. The first two years of his education appear as an endless mountain of information which must be crammed away for future reference. Then begin the clinical years during which he learns that medicine consists not only of science, but also of art. The art of medicine is most difficult to achieveg it is not taught but experienced, and is as difficult to attain as any esthetic experience. Nothing in creation that is worth achieving is gained with- out difficulty, but the art of medicine brings rewards every inch of the road. Looking back along the way we came is as gratifying as looking forward to a future of personal satisfaction of service to our art.
