I.U.M.C. 81-85 The regional students were a welcome addition to our core group at Indianapolis. We had spent two years with the same group of people, and new faces were a shot in the arm for socializing — including at least one mixed marriage of Indy-Center matrimony. Senior year was like heaven. We could actually think for ourselves, plan our schedules, and get out of Indiana if we chose to. India, Pakistan, Kenya, England, Ireland, Alaska, and Haiti were training and mission fields for our class. The decisions of specialty, residency, and the match loomed before us, with the added uncertainties of physician-surplus, HMO’s, and decreasing numbers of residency spots; but, oh the freedom of senior year! The future? Only time will tell, yet, as we finished our four years of Medical School we could only concur with Theodore Roosevelt: Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failures, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat. We dared.

 SOCIAL EVENTS Scattered amidst all of the books and bodies, labs and lectures, conferences and call nights, has been an activity known to all as the ever popular parties and social events. The Class of 1985 “learned” how to play hard, creating a number of new party traditions while continuing a few old ones. Happy hours soon became major social events, allowing everyone to wind down in a healthy way. Lars Kneller discovered a real “hole-in-the-wall” bar, known affectionately as the Georgetown Lounge. This lounge somehow developed into the Friday after- noon meeting place. Although the class of 1985 will never be remembered for their party punctuality, the multiple “Better Late Than Never” parties always seemed to make up for it. Biochem tests and schedule breaks were not allowed to rain on the parade, as it soon became novelle to celebrate Halloween in November and Christmas in January. The winter of 1982 brought the first annual skating party. Held at Chesepeake Landing, it was a welcome change to the “generic” clubhouse party. The ice led to many strained Gluteus Maximi and sprained egos, but also plenty of laughs. Todd Taylor, Nancy Croker, and Allison Vidimos helped the class return to normalicy with the “De Cerebration” picnic party in the spring. Like all dutiful class officers they also brought us back to reality with the “Back to the Grind” picnics. The whole class participated in the party activities during Freshman year helping the class to become a close group of friends. Sophomore Year brought new stressors, specifically the dreaded National Boards Part One. In good faith, the class officers, which now included Maria Boor, brought us the “Status-Post Boards” party, a true necessity. The careful observer could note the “camps” that formed. While most of the class swore “we’d study Carlos Woodward and Ross Waltemath practice hockey without a puck during the first skating party. Doug Dietch, Joe Jameson, and Mark Clark enjoy the atmosphere at the Brown Derby.
