Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon - don ' t be afraid of them: you ' ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon - you won ' t encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you ' re seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind - as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you ' re destined for. But don ' t hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you ' re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you ' ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you wouldn ' t have set out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find her poor, Ithaka won ' t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you ' ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean. Cavafy 1911 X £ St. Ignatius Loyola, S.J.

Leydecker, M.D. 10S Renee Marie Marchinski, M.D. Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman ' s dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter repented, changed his mind. Perhaps it would be well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again. Lillian Hellman in Pentimento ' 106 f m Roger A.

But the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. From his point of view it was not the one un- der consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis From the doc- tor ' s summing up Ivan llych concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. And this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor ' s indiffer- ence to a matter of such importance. He said nothing of this, but rose, placed the doctor ' s fee on the table, and remarked with a sigh: We sick people probably often put inappropriate questions. But tell me, in general, is this complaint dangerous, or not? . . . The doctor looked at him sternly over his spectacles with one eye, as if to say: Pris- oner, if you will not keep to the questions put to you, I shall be obliged to have you removed from the court. I have already told you what I consider necessary and proper. The analysis may show something more. And the doctor bowed. — Leo Tolstoy The Death of Ivan llych 1886 Alan Michael Schindler, M.D. Jorge A. Schwarz, M.D A man is but what he knoweth. F.

Mary Ellen Hartman said: You are all unique, coming from different backgrounds; right now some of you know more than your peers, but in a short time, your knowledge will be equivalent . WHAT KNOWLEDGE? Within minutes Nancy became class President, and we were off to Anatomy lab., where we met Barney, Joe, Charlie, Paul, etc. and their respective maggots. Lee brought us Cornell Lenny to shape up the Anatomy Department. Unfortunately, he brought his lifetime collection of photo micrographs — we saw them on every exam. Biostatistics zzzzz . . . Biochem. — what a way to ruin Thanksgiving. We got a new library and a new college President; the library is still here. The first class party celebrating the Christmas nuptials was a grand success. Many thanks to the Pharmacy, Biochem. Department, and enterprising classmates, who swiped the Ethanol. Because Dr. Snow ' s porno movie never arrived, the resourceful class played its own long running version of musical beds. Skit nite ' 74 — Dennis tried to turn us into opera singers. No one seems to remember much about it; that must be why we got 3rd prize. Cornell Lenny got the Golden Apple — for his efforts. All the class politicos had their fling trying to outwit the Psych. Dept. Mary Hartman grew three new gray hairs, and we all took the Psych, exam anyway. The first class picnic in the Spring established a tradition at Belmont Plateau. Mark picked up the beer. In the beginning the faculty created the sophomore curriculum and the courses were without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the students. Tom Himes said, let there be the note service, and there was light. And the class saw that it was good. And this divided the sheep from the shepherds and they did ' t try to pull the wool over our eyes. And the class blessed the notes, saying, be fruitful and multiply and fill the mailboxes. And the evening and the morning were the first trimester. ICLM caused a deep sleep to fall upon the class and confusion to reign in the land. Microbiology instructed us in everything that creepeth in and upon the body and they thought it was good. Pathology commanded that all the waters that were in the rivers were turned to schistosoma and they gathered specimens together; and the lab stank. They sent plagues upon our heart and the class pleaded, Let the students go. And Dr. Kaye, seeing our multitudes, went up onto the podium and when he was set his disciples Matthew, Walter, and William came unto him and they taught us, saying: Blessed are the pacemakers for they shall be called the children of the MICU. Blessed are they who mourn for they may become interns. Blessed are the poor in knowledge for those we can fail in ICLM. Blessed are the meek for they shall be sacrificed at Professor ' s Rounds. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for only they shall give business to Linton ' s. Blessed are those who understand our lectures for they surely must have had Path and Micro before this. Verily, verily the pharmacologists said unto that men use the salt of the earth but if the salt has lost its savor it is good for nothing, cast it out with Lasix and when the heart is heavy make it light with the flower of the foxglove. And so the students felt upright and perfect but although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground. Yea the faculty tested the sophomores. And the students cried, how long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with tests? How long will it be ere ye make an end of tests? And the faculty answered the students out of the whirlwind, gird up now thy loins for I demand of thee the National Boards! After walking through the shadow of sophomore year we shall fear no evil; and as the class gathered in Belmont pastures to restoreth our souls our cups ranneth over. Mark picked up the beer. Hallelujah! Pulsus paradoxes, pitressin, penrose, pertussis, phenothiaz ine, pentothol parkinsons — such was the new vocabulary that was thrust upon us as we descended in time to a Jacksonian March upon our unsuspecting patients. We were all now enlisted in the white coat brigade but the duties delegated by the uniform were all seen differently by each division. Some of us hit Medicine first and served Kaye-P duty. We handled a lot of vegetables those 9 weeks, especially those of us in the 5 North theatre. When we got to the V.A., most of our vegetables were stewed. Kaye-P duty really trained us for work in a sweat shop. Neurology demonstrated use of a fork but our Chef of Medicine really showed us what can be done with a knife. Speaking of blades, George Patton was mile compared to Henri Shenkin, of course, George had flame throwers and all our surgeons have is a Bovie, which we got to slip on once in a while. However, during surgery we did have a bazooka to work with but Dr. Omana left us a year to complete the Venezuelan Connections War College (they called them Junior year surgery lectures) was well attended at the crack of dawn until most people went A.W.O.L. Well, surgery wasn ' t that bad for some of us and Dr. Ablaza even gave one of our classmates the Purple Heart (to most of the nurses, he gave a broken heart). Up at the front was Dr. Jacobi, however, most of her troops were asleep in the trenches. In the air we had Baron von Ziegra with his cracked team of flying aces — or were they jokers. Infirmary rounds were an insensible loss but in the Pediatric E.R. there were bugles blaring, children swearing and we got to play spinal taps. While up scope may mean something to Dr. Rubin, Laparoscopy with the Major was a real naval manuever. We were instructed in the use of radar and ultrosonics for localization. Often, we were wrong in predicting port or star board presentation; that ' s enough to drive anyone crazy. The craziest person at the end of the year would get the Plutzer Prize or the aggressional Medal of Honor. Dr. Madow taught us how to deal with anger, he gave us the bomb (Baum) and the bullet (Bulette). After our tensions were relieved from junior year target practice — we were the targets, — we all gathered at the local Gyn. Mill (the Belmont Plateau) for our annual celebration. We salute Mark, he picked up the beer. Candy s dandy But liquor Is quicker -Ogden Nash Four years ago a class of medical students embarked on a journey over a rainbow-a journey to land that we dreamed of once, perhaps in a lullabye. We went on a long trip down a yellow brick road in search of a heart, wisdom, courage, and a home. At the end of the road we hoped to find a Wizard in an Emerald City who would help us realize these things. The first three years we thought we were getting closer, but as the last year dawned, to many of us it seemed we were farther away from our goals. We weathered a lot this year; away electives, Rosebud- here today and gone tomorrow, but our biggest threat - our own wicked witch of the west was the Match. The class did come through it all. But where were we on our quest? The end of the road is at hand. We asked for wisdom and they ' ve given us our diplomas. We asked for a heart and we have experienced human suffering. We asked for courage but like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz didn ' t we already have courage to face these four years, and courage to stand by our convictions. Perhaps what we really wanted was to feel at home in Medicine. Now, we do belong to Medicine, we ' ve experienced it for better or worse. Medicine is home to us and Mike Dorothy we can say there ' s no place like home! P.S. Along the road, Mark stopped to pick up the champagne. EMERGENCY! Buying our way out! ' Deleted by order of United States Secret Service Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose. -Walt Whitman THE CLASS OF 1977 AITA, MARK C. Philadelphia, Pa. B.A., Fordham University Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, In.
