,- J 1 ..., August 1, 1983: 130 strangers came together to become Loyola Stritch School of Medicine's Class of 1987. It was one of the hottest summers on record. Are we the only medical school in the country that starts this early? We already had our books be- fore class started, the first and only time that this would happen in our medical school careers. Our classes: Anatomy, Biochemistry and Histol- ogy, each had a personality of its own. Anatomy lab was painted in the colors of the Irish flag, courtesy of Dr. XY O'Morchoe. We wore a variety of outlandish costumes. Who can forget Tony Musci's yel- low plaid sportcoat? At the end of the semester we disposed of our anatomy clothes in various ways: the garbage, the bonfire or the clothing drive box. Remember Tyrone, Dave Brottman's cadaver, who had to be cordoned off when he developed a methane gas leak? And as if real practicals weren't bad enough, we instituted mock practicals so we could go through the experience again and again. All I remember about Histology is that everything was purple or pink, that we got candy at every practical and that Dr. Lavelle was a peach. Biochemistry is a blur and best forgotten: Slides that stayed 20 up for about five seconds, Dr. Ro- senberg's account of a Nobel Prize Dinner, Dr. Scarpa's Bozo impres- sion and Dr. Miller's TATA Box. It wasn't all work and no play, we had Halloween and Christmas parties, a trip to the Dunes and a baseball game, champagne after the first set of exams, MDL progressive dinners and many Friday nights at the Pub. In our MDL, we celebrated birthdays every month. Mark Bates was the caretaker of our goldfish Z- line, Artifact and a few others that bit the dust. Phil, Kirwan, Brian and Elaine began their Santa and his elves tradition that would continue for the next four years. The first year was a time when we formed friendships that would last a life- time. HIS TOL OG Y BIOC HEMIS TR l
