A fe Metropolitan Hospital Aggressive of nature, Sincere in purpose, practical in what- ever he undertakes characterize him as one of the most forceful individuals in the class. Always ready' to participate in fun, Matt is just as quick to supply some las witness his ear-twitching on some unsuspecting individual in the back-rows during lecturesl. The even tenor of his ways is never disturbed, his nonchal- ance in inviting heads of depart- ments to games of rummy while on their services being some- thing to marvel at. But combined with this eguanimity, is an active and .fertile mind which takes to study as a Wilson takes to Rus- sell-Traction. l-lis daily repartees with Pappalardi on ris medic- inal are memorable for the wealth of material they show at his command. I-lis well-deserved popularity will not cease with his departure but will continue among his patients as well as his professional brothers. One hundered thirty-eight Mario C. Taddeo New York City.

Charles W. Stark l Baltimore, Md. Fordham B. S. Beta Rho Mercy Hospital, Baltimore Ah, Iago, the futility of it all. To have to reduce the elusive Dr. Stark to the dull black and White ldid someone say Black and White? l of the printed Word! The epitome of jaunti- ness and insouciance, Charlie possessed a nonchalance that was the envy of cigarette man- ufacturers, and a consummate disregard for pedagogical ap- pointments that proved to be a source of Wonderment to pro- fessors ancl students alike. Charlie's four years with us were more arduous than one would suppose - the Yankee Stadium and Maytime notwith- standing. A fulltime job on the outside proved an exigency which merited considerable of his time. To summarize a d e q u a t el y such a man as Stark in the lim- ited space afforded us is exceed- ingly difficult. Gaze, as you Will, at the above countenance and think Whatever you may- but your most earnest efforts will fall short of a true appraisal of the man. One hundred thirty-seven

Joseph F. Tedesco New York City. Columbia A. B. Kings County Hospital In loe We find the epitome of diligency together with an avid- ity for note-taking that is stu- pendous. His amazing facility for taking down every Word uttered in a lecture is nothing short of remarkable. Equally extraordinary is his prodigious memory Which, once unfurled, will drown you in a flood of facts long since forgotten. His card-playing proclivities are also noteworthy. With the rest of the Tally-Ho Triumvirate of Taddeo, Tedesco and Torn- ambe he was responsible for the now famous Pediatrics Roof Gar- den, across the tables of which many dollars were lost and ex- changed-on paper. With a vitality that belies his physical stature, with a sincer- ity that has endeared him to all, with a quietness making him the stabilizing force among the Ter- rible Trio, Ioe cannot help but succeed in his chosen Work.
