HIS June, among the members of the graduating class, there will be seven who will have completed the first Army Medical ROTC program at Flower. These intrepid cadets, viz: Leo Nolan, Harold Nelson, joseph Voytek, Robert Massonneau, john Sergeant, Gerald Kaplan and Merle Ingraham, joined the senior program in October, 1947. Duty for the first year consisted solely of attendance at weekly meetings conducted by Colonel Heihle. These sessions, dealing with medical or medico-military problems were on many occasions excep- tionally interesting--for example: Dr. Marcus Kogel's discussion of epidemics, or Dr. Berkowitz's lecture on diagnosis and treatment of tropical diseases. However, the entire program was not quite as mellow as this, On july 10, 1948, the boys reported to Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, for a six-week training course in the military aspects of medi- cine. As was to be expected, there were some drawbacks to this sojourn -chiefly: QU the heat, and QZJ certain aspects of army life which can never be expected to evoke plaudits from those involved. On the good side of the ledger, the cadets had considerable free time Qevery night, and every week-end from Friday afternoon until Monday morningj. For those who owned cars, this permitted almost unlimited trips, and there were very few among the students down there who failed to visit Monterey, Mexico, or the Gulf fsailhshing in the Gulf is unparalleledj. Also available on The Post, were several theatres, live swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling alleys, and most notable of all, an excellent 18-hole golf course. The program of instruction itself, completely covered military medi- cine. It ran the gamut from how to apply the army leg splint, M-1, to rat control, to an overnight field problem. Many of the lectures and demonstrations, if unmarred by the heat and the noise of dripping perspiration, would have been highly commendable and interesting, judged by any standards. A 91

H0669 Show WELVE years ago a group of faculty and students discovered that many of their colleagues were talented, not only in their respective scientific endeavors, but also in the realm of art and music. Thus the Hobby Show came to our campus, the 1949 show was held from March 8th to 11th in the Student Lounge of the college. The judges made their selections for the most outstanding entrants in their respective fields. The first grand prize, a silver cup, presented by the Alumni Association, was awarded to Dr. John Mussio for his spectacular entry, a technicolor sound film of the 1939 World's Fair. The certificate for the most unusual entry was won by Donald Weis- man, '52, for his composition entitled My l-lobby's a Song. The committee: COMMITTEE Kathleen A.
