agulation necrosis to more than note the first place tie in the National League between Brooklyn and St. Louis. Bernie Spector covered all Cardinal bets and had to do without dessert the rest of the semester. Sophomore year brought Saturday classes which were much like Army close order drills, i. e.-they stimulate the soldier's imagination to Hgure out ways of getting out of them. But there was no escaping Dr. Higgins' quiz sections, a new experience. The long drawn out Minnesota enunciation probably produced by the long cold nights the good Doctor had come to New York to escape, gave rise to a new type of back row collab- oration, or as it came to be known popularly, no man need get a zero if he had friends. Naturally, there were slip ups in the technique as Dick Bass and the famous soggy heart incident so graphically revealed. To pathology we owe our acquaintance with Dr. Golden When I was a lad in Minnesota fthe college was just infiltrated with themj Selin. He is the only man living who can draw an inverted kidney tubule behind his back, left-handed, while discussing the foundations of medical ethics. Even Ripley doesn't be- lieve it. It is said that Bernie Batt and Herb Weiss asked for tuition refunds having had to leave class at least every other day for talking. There was Dr, Taub, whose patients made uneven- tual recoveries, and Dr. jacob CMuss my hair and call me-j Werne, Queens County Medical Examiner whose stories of violent death and destruction almost raised hair on the head of joe Horowitz. The forerunner of the compleate combine ap- J l 5 2 peared early in the year in the shape of Bacteriology notes which followed Dr. Lillick's lectures very closely, but not close enough, as we discovered after the first periodic exams. Ned Goodrich almost gave the fastidi- ous Miss Russell the screaming meemies by appearing a precise 25 minutes late for every lecture. It seems Ned sets his watch by the Chicago Observatory time and is consequently 35 minutes early, according to Ned. Later in the year when he developed Osgood Schlatter's disease, a condition which no one else could develop, he began to be only 30 minutes early. The Carnival that year featured a Swiss Village. john Egan was admirable as a Swiss admiral and Dr. McGavack won the prize for best costume, but Marissa Castro stole the show with her very appropriate CPD grass skirt and paper lei. With Laura Morgan as dealer, Black jack was the attraction of the evening. Even then our class was beginning to make its mark on N.Y.M.C. The 1946 election saw an overthrow of legislative power with the Republicans capturing both House and Senate. Price control had been killed two months be- fore, and high priced meat had become plentiful again. Around Christmas of Sophomore year, streptomycin was released for use by general physicians, the,Health Insurance Plan of New York City was put into opera- tion and research men were busily looking for more diseases which the newly discovered anti-histaminics would cure. The I. F. C. Christmas dance was at the Beekman Towers in weather that only New York can produce on the night of a major formal affair. Everyone arrived soaking wet and proceeded forthwith to get wetter. The room was too small that year, but all the cozier for its size. Freshmen danced with seniors' wives and sophomores drank faculty cocktails. The I. F. C. lost money, 'six juniors lost their dates and I lost three teeth getting my coat from the cloakroom in the rush to leave after all the refreshments had disappeared. Tom Greenlees and joe Smith drove to Canada dur- ing Christmas with Ned Goodrich and Dick Ralfman for some Laurentian skiing. Carrying along a full com- pliment of skis, poles and other equipment, including a case of Three Feathers, joe made the trip up suc- cessfully in his ancient automobile, but was forced to Hy home with a tremendous hematoma of the thigh which provided excellent clinical material during the early part of the new quarter which started in january. With January came cold weather, examinations, the telephone strike and Dr. Rosario Terranova. The war of nerves as practised by Dr. Lehr had ended and the terror began. Precise dialectical arguments over whether
