' ' JUNIORS - - IMAGINARY OPINIONS Salford -- This class would probably go to sleep during my lecture even it were from 4 to 5. House-Do they go to sleep on you too, Dr. Satford? Stanford- It's pretty b ad when the boys won't give blood unless they get paid for it. Mosser-I can get all my psychiatry work by observing this class. Tritsch-This class scares easy.

L. I. U. Alpha Sigma. Philip A. Zoller In his quiet and diligent way He accomplishes his tasks day by day. The keynote of Phil is serious- ness. I-Ie betakes to himself an assignmnt as if life itself were dependent upon its completion. I-Ie hangs on, as if possessed, to every word uttered during a lec- ture. Because of his voluminous note taking, he is often left stranded far behind the lecturer in context. Phil is not lazy. l-le is a real plugger. But his great- est fight with himself, in order to accomplish his work, is to keep from sleeping. I-lis attendance and lack of tardiness have loeen one hun- dred percent. l-le is every inch the gentleman, and somewhat of a Beau Brummel in his own right. I-lis thoroughness and stick-to-it-iveness will help him go a long way, and we know he will. Flower Hospital One hundred forty-three

CLASS or 1938, AFTER opening the School Year with the National Board Examinations, the first thing we did was to recess for a week-end to recuperate and to recover a few hours of lost sleep. Then began the grind of absorbing material in the thirty-odd courses listed for us. We were all prepared with paper and pneumatic cushions for the first semester's work. You see we had been amply forewarned of the unyielding nature of Alma Mater's seats. lnterspersed among the brilliant lectures of our staff chiefs were Y affairs, fraternity pledging, the private bridge tourneys, and, of course, Dr. Bingham's famous card-drawing feats. Of special interest to the Iunior Class, were the timely announcements, Dr. --- will be unable to meet the class, todayl In the meantime we were manfully attempting to keep abreast of our assignments. Wholesale amounts of Osler, Christopher, Nicholson, De Lee, etc. ad infinitum, were absorbed and the results could easily be seen the next day when many a nodding head or falling writ- ing board gave proof of the burning of midnight oil the night before. From time to time the lectures were enlightened with lantern slides and even better, with motion pictures. But then came the dawn of a bright day-the Christmas recess. With just the slightest tinge of envy we listened to our Senior brothers talking about their proposed Internship Exams, but we'll be there next year. Iust a short month after the New Year began, we were introduced to our clinical work. Every morning we went to the Metropolitan or Fifth Avenue Hospitals, donned our white jackets, took careful histories, and did thorough phys- icals, and then made brilliant diagnoses tusually wrongl. ln February came the highlight of the year-Class Night-this year at the Ritz Towers. The Iunior Class was honored by the presence of many notable faculty members. The affair, in charge of co-chairmen Lou Fazio and Russ Roberts, was an eminent success. In the interim we took our various final examinations each Saturday and finally moved down to Examination Week and took the remaining exams we had left, all the time looking fondly and hopefully toward the Senior Year and the realization of a long sought for dream. ALAN B. BAGNER. JUNIOR HISTORY IMAGINARY OPINIONS Bingham-I only hope they know as much about Orthoped- ics as they do about cards. Wilson-Gentlemen in this class! They started no riots at the ferry house. tSeniors-they never showed upl. Upham-Peculiar situation- here l've been talking about nothing all year, and nobody l has complained. Cocheu-This class is a lot smarter than l was told. Previous Profs-Thank God we got rid of them. One hundred forty-five
