the first great plunge into clinical medicine which we all made the very first time we faced a patient, alone, in the calm, cool autumn afternoons. At the insistence of Norm Borken and sidekick Gene Hupulowsky, we began to pick up combine notes, the latest thing on How to be happy though in med school. By Christmas all the single men were looking for two-room apartments, one room for living and one for storing the combine. In newly transferred Ed Kushner, Murray Dorfman and Bernie Batt found the perfect pinochle third. In lengthening twilights of November started a little three- handed game which was to be played in the after cabin of S. S. Welfare, on the Madison Ave. bus, on the Independent subway, in the field and on the streets neverito stop until the very eve of graduation. In November, 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was the big attraction at the 86th St. Grande, Myrt Beeler had discovered Thomas Heggins' book, Mr. Roberts, and Miss Hush, of the first big-time radio give-away show, turned out to be Martha Graham. Also in No- vember Life came to B. B. M. H. C. held in the college. Eleanor Nelson brought the new look to N. Y. M. C. that fall and as the hemlines dropped, the sight of dimpled knees became a cherished memory. The first quarter, or was it fifth? ended just as the women's medical fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Iota, was born. No amount of patient explanation seemed able to impress the denser male population with the fact that this was a woman's fraternity, not sorority, four years of high school Latin notwithstanding. If looks had killed during that trying period, Betty Simons would no doubt have been the female hatchet mur- derer of the century. X With the cold winter wind whipping up the East River, and Mother Sills' Seasick Pills much in demand aboard the Welfare, C. P. C. at the Met was some- thing more than we always attended. Although you can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time, Dr. Saccone fooled all the people at least most of the time, including Dr. Boyd, who always seemed to be in mechanical difhculty at the psychological moment. Very few will ever forget such gorgeous words as a ore ta and meningioma. Mort Goldfarb will recount the anecdote of the congenitally syphilitic infant and the nurse on request to those who've forgotten the details. With Christmas came the I. F. C. formal at the Wal- dorf. Held in the jade Room, Bob Bethje was grand high commissioner and chief arranger. Bill Wagner dragged his fiancee from a recent sick bed and Adele Altman rescued her husband from night calls at Queens General. After the first few, joe Noya failed to live up to his nickname QNoe Joyaj and jack Sergeant hopped the meanest lindy in the joint. It broke up about 3:00 A. M. when the Jade Room had begun to look rather jaded. The great blizzard of '47 with its 24 inches of snow fell the day after Christmas. Two weeks later when we returned, the city was still travelling on dog sleds and snow cats. Queens General for Radiology on Tues- day mornings seemed about as accessible as the North Pole. But it was nice to go home evenings and curl up in bed with a good book like the Kinsey report which was reaching the top of the best seller lists in non-fiction right around then. Nellie Lutcher was fa- mous too with her Hurry on down to my house, baby, and Ralph Knisely had come up with his startling ob- servations on the sludged blood phenomenon. During junior year, P. C. Zanger and his straight men worked out their version of Bartlett's Familiar Quotationsf' Rickery without ruckery is a mockery. A touch here, a touch zere and out comes ze diag- noziz. Bis I call ze chunior murmur. This is a case of, shall we say, Neisserian conjunc- tivitis ?-contracted, shall we say, innocently in a Turk- ish bath ? Why, Doctor, we have a mar-rr-velous laboratory here. Do a Braxton Hicks voision. Put out the fire, Doc. The etiology of the morphological histology of Gynecologic pathology is undoubtedly dependent upon
