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.

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.

Always ready to joke, laugh and be gay And still in work he makes each minute pay. As shown by his regular at- tendance, Tony has carried out his axiom that the difference be- tween success and failure is work. F our years ago he started his trials and tribulations with us. He came to us a quiet and well-meaning student. We have come to look upon him as the exernplification of the happy medium between the two extremes-ill The men who take their medicine in one, two, three fashion from the books, C25 The men, who armed with a hunch and a prayer, try to figure out everything. Assurance, however, is forth- coming on one issue, namely, that nothing derogatory may be said of him. To say more than that he will succeed would be superfluous.
