Fresh-very fresh- from the miasmic swamps of New lersey, via Colgate, came lohnny full of hope and bluster in the Fall of '33, lt was merely a matter of minutes before many had struck an acquaintance with this forceful newcomer. In the very first semester some of us be- gan to realize that here was in- testinal fortitude with a capital Nl Cjejeunuml, for lohnny took the Boss and his course in Anato- my in full stride. On the basket- ball court his now-you-see-him- now-you-don't qualities togeth- er with an hypertrophied delight for bodily contact made him a constant source of wonder and despair. To the epigrammatic gentle- man who offered the world the principle that great things come in small packages , we submit the supreme vindication and justification of that principle in the person of pugnacious Iohn- ny.

Brooklvn, N- Y- Colurnbia B. S. Lawrence J. Alvarez To some, fraternity spirit im- plies friendship only with one's brothers. However, Al was not of such a kind. He was everyone's friend-always will- ing to discuss amiably the var- ied perplexities which We en- countered. He has gone through school gaining strong friend- ships and enduring admiration. Always a conscientious student, the tedious regime of medical school never bothered him. Rath- er, he welcomed it, for he had realized early just what his ob- stacles would be when he cast the die and decided to study Medicine. Philosophically resigned to the fates, he resolutely entered into the spirit of the curriculum, and his success is partially account- ed for by that admirable esprit de corps . This, and his natural intelligence have served him Well. He starts his interneship with more than adequate knowl- edge, prepared to face with equanimity the responsibilities of a doctor.

Nathan Arenson l l Bronx. N. Y. C.C N.Y.,B.S. Fleur-O-Scope 3, 4. fill' Metropolitan Hospital Our esteemed Dr. Arenson, has thrilled his colleagues for tour years with his superb artis- tic bent-a potpourri of Rem- brandt, Michaelangelo, Whist- ler and Soglow. lt one were to criticise Nat on the tact that the women he sketched were on the sunny side ot 135 pounds, we would feel constrained to plead for him on the ground that said vignettes were directed by the gentleman behind. r Nat's, talents did not end with his drawing. I-le possessed a sangtroid beyond imagination- Witness his tossing of Words in those memorable Anatomy guiz- zes, and his colossal nonchal- ance in picking up a bit ot cervi- cal tascia in response to the Boss' request for the recurrent laryngeal. We Won't forget Nat very easily-his ingratiating smile, his earnest attempt at some in- conspicuous shuteye down in the first row, and his gifted abil- ity as a sketcher. Sixty-one
