Sophomore year saw a move to that bastion of comfort — Emerson Hall. The padded chairs were almost too much to take! The padding made it all the more difficult to remain awake through Pharmacology. Path, and In- troduction to Medicine. The dog labs stirred up controversy between stu- dents and faculty and also between students themselves. We also got a peek at the wards — History-taking and Physical Diagnosis. Some took seeing real patients as a shock while others were naturals at it. Junior year — need we say more? This offered all of us the opportunity to actually “care” for patients. The fields of Medicine. OB GYN. Psych. Neuro. Peds, Surgery, and the Surgical Sub- specialties were all explored. To many students’ dismay, however, this oc- cured to varying degrees. For some it offered numerous rewarding experi- ences while for others it was a never- ending battle to keep their heads above water. “Fear of the peer. as well as fear of the Resident and the Staff often got in the way of finding enough time to read and actually learn the art of medicine. We thought we had acquired enough knowledge on which to base our selection of senior electives and an eventual career. Senior year was definitely a long- awaited relief from the first two years, and especially junior year! Some have likened it to finding an oasis in the Sa- hara. Most of us spent senior year find- ing out that we didn't really want to do what we thought we did. or that we wanted some variation on a theme. The Dean's Office was kept busy with change of elective forms. We finally be- gan to believe that it was all worth it and prepared to go out and face the real world!

IUMC Ahh, the Med. Center! Over half of us were lucky enough to spend all four glorious years there, while the other half spent only two. Who could forget those nice, plush, comfortable chairs in MS 326? Many of us still sport scars from blisters acquired there from wig- gling to find a comfortable position. Those first few months were spent learning the other students' names that were next to you in the alphabet. Any hope of finding a spare moment of free time was quickly snuffed out by Micro and Biochem. We soon learned that Dr. Bauer did indeed create apathy! Anatomy. Histo. Physio. Neuroana- tomy and the ever-popular Psych soon followed. The philosophy of P = MD was very prevalent. There were those who moved into MERP or Butler Library for the duration. Class notes made this way of studying very tempting. Intra- murals added a great outlet for pent- up emotions. Right: All work and no play makes Jack a very thin boy!!

Our class is filled with such charac- ters! There were few people in the Class of 1987 who found it difficult to have a good time. As we have said before, the night spots were always a good place to find members of the class. The Vogue was a frequented nightclub due to groups such as “Duke Tomato and his all-star frogs and “The Henry Lee Summer Band. Let js not forget the infamous Dr. Bop who performed at many of the school dances much to the dismay of the owners of the establishments (i.e. Mu- rat Shrine). Class parties like the Halloween par- ty were always big hits. The costumes were always unique and certainly never boring! The Christmas Dance was al- ways well-attended, especially by “Dr. Bop!
