Metropolitan Hospital Shiner is one of the class poli- ticians, while not holding office himself, he was a power behind the throne. But he was an hon- est politician, if any exist, and so we can forgive him for it. Al- ways smiling, his equanimity never disturbed, he was one of the best-natured men in the class. During oral exams he would look so wise that the Prof wouldn't call on him, figuring that he knew the answer. F or Shiner ranked high scholastical- ly, as evidenced by his election to the honor society in his Senior year. . Irv was head of his fraternity last' year and acted as a shining example of how to go through school successfully. Congenial and gifted with a sense of hu- mor, Shiner will probably sail easily and breezily through life. We don't know what his plans arep but we wish him the best of luck.

Henry Sherwood Haverhill, Mass. New Hampshire B. S. N . .L ' A lt fi' I .. qw kk .V ..wy,IK' NY, , Massachusetts State Infirmary A real New England gentle- man, Henry came to New York from Massachusetts and de- spite his four years stay, he has managed to retain his New England charm. His Bostonian accent fits his sense of humor and his wit most becomingly. He is one of the best dressed men in the class. Henry deserted the ranks of the celibates in his Sophomore year, and his home was a general meeting place before exams, when we would gather for cramming purposes. Henry's wife knew Dr. Mac- Adarn's ditties better than we did. Always willing to be of help, Henry is a real friend. His atti- tude towards his patients is most sympathetic, and we think that he has the makings of o: fine family physician. Henry plans to settle in a small town in New England. Our best wishes go with him. One hundred thirty-three

Brooklyn, N. Y. N. Y. U., B. S. Ralph G. Sorrentino I have brought golden opinions from all sorts of people. Ralph represents the embodi- ment of all the ideals toward which a medical student who is worthy of the name strives. His scheme of Life is based upon a few fundamental philosophical principles which will unques- tionably carry him along the right road. Primarily, he will execute the l-lippocratic Oath to the best of his ability-the wel- fare of the patient must be con- sidered above all else. l-Iis physi- cal stature is such that it will withstand all but the harshest treatment. We are prone to be- lieve, therefore, that he will un- wittingly sacrifice his health for the benefit of his patients. For a calling to the profession of medi- cine has no regard for the man- it is the most exacting of profes- sions. Ralph, however, is the type of man who will succeed despite this.
