Meriden, Conn. Clark A. B. Phi Lambda Kappa Fleur-o-scope 3, 4. Business Manager 3 Managing Editor 4 lrving Katz Some of us have been spoon fed since childhood. Gthers have had ,to meet conditions half-way'-'Irv' however, has had to fight against odds to achieve his goal, and overcome obstacles that none but his clos- est friends were aware of. 'lrv' never complained-but always managed to be cheerful and pleasant. I-lis associates have been impressed by his abil- ity to use common-sense in any situation. There is no doubt that he has had to rely on this attri- bute for years, and that he will be the better practitioner of Med- icine because of this virtue. We all know that good 'horse-sense' -plus a good basic foundation, is what makes tor the best prac- tice of Medicine. His fine sense of humor, com- bined with courage and rounded out by severe honesty will un- questionably give 'lrv' success in the tomorrow. I Iamaica Hospital Ninety-five

4 Coney Island Hospital Superficially, a highly skepti- cal and cynical young many essentially, a keen analyst and regular fellow. Sid has always commanded, our admiration for the nonchalant manner in which he has undertaken to master the many intricate problems of mod- ern Medicine. l-le has succeeded because there exists, beneath that outward indifference, an alert mind responsive to the challenge of the curriculum. I-le seems to tire easily during lec- tures, but anything pertinent brings him sharply out of his reverie. After all, if he can take it 'from Fischer, he can take it from the profs. I-le goes forth in- to the world as another accom- plished practitioner of the art of Medicine, and were he properly appraised-as he has here been evaluated-his classmates would some day bask in the radiance of his fine reputation.

. A deep occult philosopher ln the years to come, when we shall sentimentally reminisce about our college days, the pic- ture of a short stocky man per- enially puffing a curved pipe will inevitably flash into mind. He personifies a triad of charac- teristics: small of stature, gener- ous of heart, and constant of purpose. There is some debate among his classmates Whether his pipe is a protective mechanism a- gainst people with whom he doesn't care to associate, or whether he actually enjoys its somewhat doubtful aroma. As is usual with such cases, criticsm has been forthcoming in relation to the type of tobacco and in re- lation to the pipe in which the tobacco is consumed. Soft-spoken and retiring by nature, nevertheless, he has shown himself to be a man of hidden depths. Perseverance and constancy will make the rough Ways smooth. Maurice will travel far.
