Orange, N. I. N. Y. U., B. S. Freshman year found us with Mario in our midst. Though small in stature, we soon found that he need climb no tree in order to be noticed. Mario had the answer whenever ques- tioned. l-lis earnestness in study by night found reward in his ability to answer by day, and we soon discovered ourselves notic- ing the giant shadow on the wall. But earnestness in studies was merely a reflection of that earnestness in all that he does. I-lere is a real friend, sincere, staunch, true. But, withal, there is a refreshing sense of humor ' '41 l Mario V. Pizzi that comes out at the most trying times-for example, during our anatomy exams. We are confi- dent, Mario, that your greatness will indeed be seen by all. Four years at Flower have but served to herald many years of success for you in the future.

Morrisania Hospital Dignified, sincere and intelli- gent-these few words epitomize the essentials of his character, and afford an insight into the reasons for the universally high regard with which his class- mates regard him. Turbulent, hectic, and troubled were the days of our second year, yet Felix, as class prexy, never once lost the dignity and equanimity so essential for the proper func- tioning of his office. But desire to devote more time to study, induced him to forsake active interest in guiding the class des- tinies+a great loss to the class, but a triumph for him. His scholastic record for the past two years confirms the impression of the first two, inasmuch as his being one of our better students is concerned. I-le is conscien- tious to an extreme wherever Medicine is involved. Good-luck to you, Felix, in your chosen field. One hundred eighteen Felix A. Pappaiardi Bronx, N. Y. N. Y. U., B. S.

Genius is 90W hard work: so apparently Ioe must have a divine spark lurking beneath that ready smile. Through the long, difficult preclinical years, he has worked ceaselessly and arduously--always too busy to complain, and too strong for self pity. With the advent of the clinical years, he soberly and in- telligently planned to derive the greatest amount of hard, com- mon sense knowledge possible. The results demonstrated, with- out a doubt, that here was one student who utilized, to the full- est, the clinical facilitiesto ce- ment, more firmly, his book learning. A final, conclusive idea of how thorough he is may be gleaned from his interneship at California. He conceived the unusual idea, studied it, and accomplished it. Will power and brain power are beautifully combined, and the results indi- cate a long and glorious career. Brooklyn, N. Y. N. Y. U., B. S. Delta Sigma Theta.
