OUR SMUGNESS was shortlived—they could still get us this year! Instead of a few courses we took twelve. We were treated to Thespian sagas by the Londoner and his protege; we administered strange admixtures to cannulated canines, who had a horrible habit of dying as the experiment reached its climax. We learned the Apothecary system and pre-Hip- pocratic remedies from a jolly little man, only to find later that the clinicians couldn’t understand it, and the pharma- cists had long since dispensed their last Blaud’s pill. Lectures were half drowned out by the steady drone of the carpenter’s saw and the mason’s mixer. It was here that we met the gen- tleman from Vienna, whose expression, “I hod dot” followed the description of every infectious disease save only the spi- rochete; and his aide-de-camp whose avian adenomas need no further comment. We smeared and cultured, walked through the halls with tubes hanging from our noses, and only later did we realize that the seventy-percent stuff in the lab was actually the real thing. As the year drew to a climax we palpated and percussed and were exposed to patients. Medicine began to unfold its mysteries to us—and the tempestuous National Boards were upon us.

CLASS OFFICERS: Don War- ren, Secy., Clyde Schoenfeld, Treas., George Loesch, Pres., Hal Manhart, V. Pres. SOME of the classroom material began to take life and move around—particularly when the “Ring- master of the Cystecircus” produced his prize proto- zoans in the clinical lab. We learned why a good lab technician costs so much; we learned 24 ways to kill a dog; we often learned the cause of death in the latest murder mystery in Columbus; we even learned some medicine.
