Newark Memorial Hospital A resident of the western shores of the Hudson, F rank has nevertheless displayed a cosmo- politan demeanor worthy of the most sophisticated of New York- ers. Debonair and amusing, one would hardly visualize him as one of our most ambitious and studious classmates. Yet, almost four years of close association with him have convinced us that he will permit nothing to stand in the way of his success as a physician. l-le knows he has the ability to succeed-he now awaits the practical applicability of this knowledge. Future recollections of his amusing and entertaining con- versations will bring reminiscent sighs oi regret. I-lis closer associ- ates will find such memories more mellow. Too, there will be the realization that the only road to success is that which is built upon intelligent thinking, and smoothed over by the perspira- tion of honest labor. One hundred ten Franklin J.

Gaetano A. Mascara New York City, N. Y. U., B. S Delta Sigma Theta. Fleur-o-scope 4. t St. Iohn's Hospital, Long lsland City Thought-provoking questions are a sign of intelligence. Woe to the reputation of medical students were their l. Q.'s so judged! An all-too-amusing and disquieting sight is the apparent indifference of our students to question, so as to clarify and define. Anthony, however, has never permitted the false artifici- ality inherent in this attitude to prevent his learning the exact meaning of statements made by our clinicians, who occasionally leave entirely too much to the imagination. Tenacity, intelli- gence, and intellectual integrity are his characteristics and there is nothing but esteem and re- spect for this student's sincerity and successfulness in really learning Medicine. His key- notes, minus seriousness and sincerity, were tenaciously ad- hered to throughout four years of school and clinical work. Good luck, Tony, We are sure you will be an asset to the pro- fession and will achieve success. One hundred nine

Iersev CitY, N- l- Norwich B. S. Alpha Sigma. t Walter L. Mersheimer No one could accuse Walt of being afraid to try. He enters inio everything and works without cx sigh. ln Walt we have a very out- spoken but well meaning fellow. Like all mortals he makes mis- takes at times, but always, until proven otherwise, with the con- viction that he has been pursu- ing the right path. Walt is a real, and a regular fellow. His wholesome bluff, evidenced by his blustering, swaggering man- ner, is affected to protect him against those who would take advantage of his good nature. Frankness, courage, and level thinking are among his assets. I-fe is a man of his word. His faculty of having initiative, and of being unafraid to assume re- sponsibility, places him in line for leadership. In fact, his four years at Flower have revealed him to be a leader in more than one field. Christ Hospital Iersey City, N. I. One hundred eleven
