CLASS CF 1939 TEMPUS FUGIT--and so, back from a well-spent vacation we come to resume our studies in that most mystical profession called Medicine. Undaunted by overexaggerated rum- ors of discouragement and hardships concerning the sophomore year, sixty-seven proud and probably sophisticated sophomores exposed their mental capacities to the second lap of the race which will eventually lead us to the distinction of the nomenclature, medical doctor. There seemed to be no end to the stream of exams which continuously confronted us, and which, in short time, verified the realization that the instructors meant business. Naturally, this procedure was met with dissatisfaction and complaints from the student body. However, it must be mentioned that the faculty showed remarkable consideration in the wholesale postponement of conflicting exams. Still the grievances persisted: but then again, others have successfully crawled through these encumbered channels of strenuous study and hardships of the sophomore years, so why can't we? Our Christmas vacation was preceded by the much anticipated class affair which was held at a downtown New York hotel. To the syncopated jazz emanating from the music- goes-round instruments of the Melody Cruisers, silver slippers and patent leather shoes glided across the dance floor. Other members indulged in friendly chatter with our notable representatives of the faculty headed by Dr. Burrett and the amiable Mrs. Burrett. Wine, women, and song, combined with an insatiable whirl of hilarity, comprised the remainder of the evening. However, it should not be forgotten that on the eve of February ll, a group of eighteen sophomores crashed the Metropolitan Hospital formal dance, attired in everything but formal clothes, and exhibiting all the characteristics of a mob. Undoubtedly the mem- bers of that group of funmakers will retain the occasion as a landmark in memory of the soph year. A few hours previous to this occasion, we had the excellent opportunity to listen to the story of the scratch by Dr. Cope at a Y. M. C. A. dinner. Incidentally, remember to place four stars after Dr. Florence's name as an after dinner speaker-she is topsl And now we await with intense dread those inevitable National Board Exams-a soph student's nightmare. Slowly, but surely, we are approaching the end of the second lap. Most will finish the lap: a few, unfortunately, will not. Only time will tell. VINCENT SPINELLI, '39 soPHoMoRE HISTORY IMAGINARY OPINIONS Schmahl - Curious, but the Sophs act as tho they know how to use a stethoscope. Boyd-The end of the year is near, and he thinks that Pharm- ocology is still virgin soil to the Sophs. McGavack-I guess the boys just can't understand Boyd's Simile in Medicine. fSophs- who can?7.
