Tffilfil e A+ ' H 'fl e 57 W Guiding the destinies of the class, Were: Samuel Leventhal, president, George VV. Cramp, vice-president, David 1. Arbuse, secretaryg Paola F. Liva, treasurer, Samuel Lubin and William Chapman, student councillors. On the LICHONIAN we were ably represented by Ben Borkow, Henry MCD. Painton, David l. Arbuse and Nathan Horowitz. The biggest Social event in our Class History, took place on November 22, 1921, at the Hotel Bossert, namely, our class dinner. We say biggest- because not only the majority of the Junior students attended, but the majority of the Faculty were there. Crippled by former trials, we were poorly fitted for the virulent mixed infection of the Junior Year. With most of the body defenses on the ebb, we were cut into sections that we might be more thoroughly studied and treated during the Senior Year, and that all superfluous appendages to our knowledge might be removed. When, after all varieties of -otomies, -ectomies and -ostomies, avenues for the entrance of more germs of knowledge were opened, we were given medicine by forced feeding, inhalation, sublimation, inunction, until our special senses were effected. Hence, we required unusual care in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. Thecutaneous manifestations were not marked, but some evidence of raslmess was found to exist. The cold, clammy perspiration of examination times is very real in our minds. Loss of appetite and loss of sleep marked the approaching crises of our Senior Year. Stupid from study, weary from work and wan from worry, we enter upon our period of convalescence with every prospect of a permanent, though eventful recovery. Our Class officers this year are the same as last. The Staff of the LICHONIAN saw fit to elect David 1. Arbuse, Editor-in-Chief, to re-elect Henry lVIc.D. Painton, Business Manager, and Nathaniel F. Nelson, Associate Art-Editor. Leaving upon each one of us their indelible stamp, the years 1919-1923 have gone to take their place with that hazy, yet vivid link to the past--memory. While each of us has been bent on his ambition, many have formed lasting ties of friendship which render these years invaluable. ' - To think of those who, for one, two or three years, have been our companions and with whom Fate has dealt less kindly. must touch a spot in all of us. The struggles, both mental and material, which have been more or less the lot of us all, holds us closer as men than as Doctors. It is to those who, handicapped by Fate, hampered by sickness, burdened by trouble, disheartened by adverse circumstances and yet, in face of untold difficulties, have fought their right of Way to this fitting climax of their past years in medicine that we pay our tribute and respect.

A -f 0 41 lwxilgiii 1 r We were welcomed to the College by Dean lVIiller and advised to get right into the swing of the work. Each man for himself and may the best man win. ln accordance with custom, we elected the following class officers: Samuel Leventhal, presidentg Harry Rothman, vice-president, -Miss Deborah Cohen, secretaryg Paola F. Liva, treasurer. But al.l study and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So, on November 27, 1919, we held a smoker at the Hotel Nlartinique. . Our shortcomings were easily discovered by the Histological, Embryological and Chemical analyses to which we were subjected. But as coming events which cast their shadows before them, there was hanging over us ominous and threatening our dark angel-the dread and fear of the finals. YVhat worry and sleeplessness lead up to them and what a relief, after a few weeks of suspense, to know that we had passed them successfully and thereby had accomplished one step on our ladder of success. Little did we know of the evils which were to befall us, for after a short vacation, we were beset by all the terrors of the second year and suffered a most serious relapse. Our Sophomore officers were: Samuel Leventhal, presidentg Robert S. Kahn, vice-president, David 1. Arbuse, secretary, David Blumenfeld, treasurerg John J. Montanus and Harry B. Wciloivitz, student counsellors. Social activity, A dance on November 26, 1920, at the Hotel Commodore. At the suggestion of several members of the Sophomore class, a meeting was called during the early part of last semester and at its conclusion, the Sophomore Scientific Society was crystallized and became a reality. The Sophomore representatives on the LICHONIAN staff were: Ben Borkow, Henry lVIcD. Painton, David l. Arbuse and Nathan Horowitz. Attacked from all sides by the evidence of Physiology and the evils of Pathology, giving rise to all varieties of physical signs and the cardinal symptoms of acute inflam- mation, we were nearly overcome. After being incised and properly drained, we rallied somewhat in response to active treatment. ln the semi-comatose condition which the second year finals left us, we entered upon a vacation, during which we were to recuperate for the still more severe third stage of the infection. 1
