P. C. 0. LIBRARY P. C. 0. LIBRARY ot CONTENTS College Hospital Organizations Athletics Alumnae Advertisements | Foreword JT IS a moment of high importance in the development of the average human being when he discovers the futility of life without associa- tions and memories to mirror the efforts that have operated in his advancement. And so orientation toward these reflections, we believe, is the primary responsibility of this book. Its purpose is then, by the virtue of the personals ties and the activities portrayed, to stimulate an active interest in an acclaimed Osteopathic concept that, having endured from a fervent and an obscure beginning in the mind of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, has now made possible the marvelous new edifice that marks the latest stride forward of our profes- sion and especially of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, our Alma Mater. And so, as the sands of time run slowly through life ' s hour-glass, may we gaze fondly upon this Synapsis as a perpetuation of ourselves in our enigmatical groping ever onward in Osteopathy. 3 % SYNAPSIS Dedication Z am a part of all I have met; Yet all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades Forever arid forever when I move. Alfred Lord Tennyson. VY 7ITHIN the hearts and minds of those who have V the pleasure of association with one, whose effort is an integral and fundamental part of every advance made by the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, is a reverent affection for the man who pioneers for the advancement of his profession, succeeds, and yet strives on, his labor never done. To such a one, we can only extend humble acknowledgment for his achievement in the conception and the consummation of the idea for our new college and hospital. So it is with much affection and regard that we, the Class of 1931, dedicate this Synapsis to our friend: A gentleman, a scholar, a philanthropist. Dr. C. D. B. Balbirnie. Dr. C. D. B.

The new home of our profession, so long visioned, - desired, and planned is now a reality, completely established, already function- ing in the erudition of its neophytes. With our eyes ever looking ahead, peering into the future of college and hospital, the handful of institutions that have housed us since the first Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was founded in 1899, would soon fade into shady memories, were it not for the fact that every move Osteopathy has made in Philadelphia, has been surrounded by an aura of effort and purpose and each marked a step up in the ladder we arc climbing. Much can be said of our present structure as to its architecture and ac modations for at least 500 students by the mere contrast with the recently evacuated site. But a new note has now entered. This edifice with it long, cool corridors, and busy, well equipped laboratories, lends a long needed academic background and atmosphere which we hope will lead to interest in scientific thought, intellectual discussion, and significant research.

This exquisite portrayal is a never-ending source of fascination to its meditator and suggests almost a romantic reality. And now the actual creation towering majestically at Forty -eighth and Spruce Streets — the sight of which sends a thrill of joy and pride into the hearts of her subjects — infused with osteopathic incident and colour, reveals a glowing vividness beyond the fanciful paint- ing of the artist. The architect ' s work done, the engineer and builder gone, — what then of the life within? What purposes to be filled, what sentiments to be served, what facts and deeds to be con- secrated? Is it safe to venture that the key to osteopathic dominion hangs inside the walls? Judge Edwin O. Lewis in his commencement address to the last graduating class re- marked: Nothing is subjected to severer test than is the skill of osteopathy. Again from the pen of Carl McConnell we read : Probably in no other practice than the osteo- pathic does personal therapeutic ability count for so much. It has been written too that a fact is worth little unless it can be applied; and it cannot be applied unless the one who knows the fact has vision enough to see when it fits in. With these essentials in mind we are prepared to venture the opinion that the destiny, the success or failure of osteopathy, lies within the walls of the college in the hands of teacher and pupil — and so into the field, its teachings to be respected and practiced or pawned and rejected with wanton unfaithfulness. With the march of time it becomes increasingly manifest that the young graduate enters the field of practice better prepared than the hundreds which preceded him. He should the more easily find the path to opportunity and success. But it will be well for him to regard the road his predecessor has travelled and the progress made. Reflection upon earlier graduates and their life work, to a degree, tells the story of osteopathy and the college. The spirit which animated these students passed down through the decades bears testimony to the real worth of the school of their devotion and love. The history of this osteopathic college is written in the deeds of its many sons and daughters, who have lived through the thirty years, since its doors were first swung wide to receive the earliest matriculants. Thus in suggesting to the present graduate a factor for success in life we would empha- size the wisdom of indefatigable allegiance and adherence to fundamental osteopathic concepts and facts, — as courageously employed by earlier noted sons of the school. With A. H. Clough we would admonish: Say not the struggle nought avaikth The labour and the words are vain, — ■ 1 Too evident are the successes of these pioneer promulgators. The remarkable rise of osteopathy as a separate and distinctive school of practice reflects their courage and tenacity of purpose and attests the virtue of this steadfastness. The young graduate will be wise to follow in the footstep of his elder brother mindful of the teaching of the philosopher who reasoned: Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent.

Seems but a day since as freshmen we crowded into Dr. Green ' s lecture hall to get our first view of the clavicle, and learn that the lateral one-third thereof was to be the first mile- stone in our progress through Osteopathy. Yet, here we are, already preparing to leave our Alma Mater and launch ourselves as physicians (with the grace of God and state board examiners!). Let us for a moment review the most important of the many events that were crowded into the life of the class of 1930 in the past four years. Of course, the first thing was the election of officers, back in the fall of 1926. Fields was elected president just in time to depart for Mexico and leave Dick Dowling as our Freshman president, in which capacity he served with honor and distinction. A full quota of other officers assisted him, and our classic ship of state sailed over the reefs of dissection, weathered the gale of chemistry lab, passed through the torrid zone of histology, and approached the harbor of Sophomorism. Under Dr. Green ' s erudite guid- ance we climbed anatomy from pinnacle to pinnacle — beg pardon, from clavicle to clavicle, waltzed along the floor of the nasal chamber, gazed at the Pyramidalis, swung on the Trapezius, scaled the scala tympani, and shinned along the tibia. We learned to distinguish perineal from peroneal structurers, and both from peritioneal tissues. And of course we enjoyed the various social events that enlivened the intense busyness of lab and lecture. Near the end of the Freshman year we elected Harold Lyman president in a closely contested match in which one vote decided the battle, and Bruno fought our Sophomore campaign for us nobly and well. As Sophomores, the class of 1930 inaugurated the now accepted policy of welcoming Freshman as fellow-warriors in the cause of osteopathy in- stead of hazing them as strangers in our midst. Then we settled down to a consideration of Physiology, Pathology, and other subjects of entrancing interest to osteopathic students, not forgetting the thrilling mysteries of Nervous Anatomy and the occultries of Biochemistry. Who can forget the dreary travels through the thermogenous system, the perspiring journey through the sudorific glands, the breathless rush through the respiratory tract, and the merry-go-round through the circulatory system, from big toe to heart to bunion again. Not to mention the hasty trip through the digestive tract, from mouth to , er — er through the digestive tract, that is. (Whew, that was some course!) Anyway, we finally became Juniors, and with Allan Fellows for President got set for a hectic year. And we got it! We found the third year as long and arduous as the second, due to a rearrangement of class schedules by the powers that be, but the compara ' tively pleasant tasks of a lab-less semester gave us renewed interest in studies, which in themselves w r ere more interesting, more directly appealing, and we prepared diligently for the second semester ' s ordeal of entry into the general clinic. The clinic was the first real contact with the future life work of the osteopathic physician, it was life in the raw, figuratively speaking, I mean, of course, and we found it most interesting. Then, too, the campaign for a greater osteopathy was waged in that semester; tracking the evasive contribution through the pathless mazes of defensive prevarication, we got a priceless education in psychology, and learned to discount subjective bankruptcy by nothing carefully the symptoms of objective opulence; through intensive application we learned how to relax spastic contractions of pocketbooks by allopathic doses of sapo mollis ,1 in synergic combination with logical explanation of the great value of a new hospital and college to the osteopathic profession. And lo, over a million dollars was subscribed! The Junior Prom was the social event of that year for us. A good time was had by all (who attended) and the year ended in a blaze of glory and good fellowship, during which the officers for the ensuing Senior year were elected, as follows: Richard Davies, President; Allan Fellows, Vice-President; Lillian Barton Scott, Secretary; Carl J. Isman, Treasurer; Paula Elias, Prophet; Ronald Ambler, Historian. (Not elected at that time, but drafted willingly in the latter part of the Senior year was Ye Scribe as Acting Historian, N. M. F.) Then the class adjourned for a short vacation to prepare for our Senior year. The Seniors are now almost ready to emerge into professional life, after passing through the final stage of training in clinic, laboratory, and hospital. Thinking over the events of the past four years, we, who have been the liaison battalion between the old and new, who have witnessed the rapid progress of P. C. O. from good to better, and from better to best, who have freely criticized the while we loyally supported our institution, feel grateful to the faculty and directors whose faithful efforts contributed so largely to the pleasant tenor of our history. We go forth enthusiastic protagonists of Osteopathy, pledged to practice and propagate it as our life work. Which reminds us to assist the chronicle with a list of the members of the class of 1930 who committed matrimony since the class began its organized existence in September, 1926, with appropriate chronology: Ronald E. Ambler, Oct., 1928 Robert D. Anderson, Sept., 1928 Lillian Barton Scott, Sept., 1929 Nathan M. Fybish, Aug., 1929 Helen Gates Mellott, Dec, 1929 Lester R. Mellott, Dec, 1929 Guy Merryman, Dec, 1926 Bertha Camp Smith, Jan., 1929 George Smith, Jan., 1929 Wisterman, September, 1928 Jane Price was with us till her marriage to Morgan Von Lohr, after which our class had to relinquish her to her Jersey paradise. Unconfirmed report has it that Richard Red Parker is also a benedict: direct interrogation elicits no denial, so history records his capitulation to cupid. Considering that 10-46th of our Senior class were married in only four years, it were no encroachment on the province of the Class Prophet to add with similar percentages obtaining for prognosis for the rest ot us, there promises to be no dearth of recruits for, say, the class of 1955, P.C.O. Herewith closes the history of the class of 1930. N.

A noise came faintly, increased and expanded until it seemed to fill the air with a siren-like note of warning. It was the voice of an airplane, droning in from the deepening violet of the overcast eastern sky. Another Lone Eagle, Dr. Gyn Norment hurrying out to keep an appointment at her office in Miami, Fla., and just in from Havana, Cuba, so I hear her tell a loitering pilot.

Dick and I are on our way home to Los Angeles from the International convention of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons held in Paris, France. Dick you know is Associate Dean at the Los Angeles College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, and I run their X-ray Department. Say, you missed something by not being at that convention. About thirty-five of our 1930 bunch were there. Dr. G. Merryman of Columbus, Ohio, presented a very good paper on Behaviour of blood sugar in fever and at very low temperature. Dr. Alice Chase of Denver, Colorado on The child who will not eat. Dr. R. T. Parker gave us some good foot technique. Dr. A. R. Davies, Industrial Physical Appraiser of Pittsburgh, Pa., produced statistics to show that by means of scientific Osteopathic service the sick leave period is reduced, the in- jured saved from being branded as unemployable and the average work- man ' s years of industrial productivity are materially increased to the benefit of himself and society . Dr. Florenz Smith, Obsteotrician to Queen Charlotte ' s Maternity Hospital, London, England, gave an interesting talk on De- terminants of Character. During the Convention, Drs. D. Brown and Margaret Nicoll Brown threw a big dinner and theatre party for our crowd. The Browns have a home in Philadelphia, not to live in but to refer to. Most o( their time is spent in Paris where their oldest son is studying French as a part of his preparation to eventually enter Foreign Osteopathic service. I hear that Dr. E. A. Crapser of Witchita, Kansas, has done special work on cancer and has written extensively on various aspects of the sub- ject. You remember Dr. J. L. Wineland? He is Director of Information and Statistics for the A. O. A. He also established a Bunion Clinic m Milwaukee, Wis., for the care of bunions by the Bloodless Surgery method. Last year while in Bangor, Me., it was my pleasure to visit Dr. Edward Stafford who for seven years had been engaged in general practice in that city. He is now devoting exclusive attention to the study and treatment of backward and nervous children. Dr. Robert Anderson is still in Philadelphia devoting all of his studies and investigations to the discovery of that unknown something which must be operative in the human body before the manifestation of recognisable symptoms. He gave me this clipping — Dr. Allen S. Prescott who five years ago was called to Mexico City by the Government Health Department as r an expert on tropical diseases has done important research work on clima ' tology and infectious tropical diseases, especially yellow fever and sprue. . . . Listen, I always knew your brain had an extra convolution. . . Cut the static, Chuck, 1 let ' s have more news about the r est of our class. Dick, I ' ll expect you to help me out on this . . . Check and double check! I ' ll have to make it short and snappy in order to catch the next Air Liner for California. Dr. Lillian Barton Scott is assistant in Gyn. Clinic Outpatient Depart ' ment ot the Providence, R. I. Osteopathic Hospital and for the past five years she has been connected with the Clinical Research Bureau of the International Birth Control League. Her hobbies are cross-word puzzles and darning socks. While in London, England, we met Dr. Richard C. Moore. He urged us to stay over to witness the Derby at Epsom Downs, in which he will as usual have a much fancied candidate. Dr. Helen Gates Mellott, originator, owner and maker of the Gates Binder and Abdominal Supporter is physical inspector of girls in the Public Schools of Passaic, N. J. Her husband, Dr. Lester R. Mellott, Otologist on the staff of the Osteopathic Hospital of Passaic, spent last summer in Pro- fessor Neuman ' s Clinic at the University of Vienna, Austria. Dr. Carl Isman, I was told, has recently opened his fourth bank in Brazil, South America. Dr. Harold O. Lyman, practicing in Seattle, Washington, gives much time and cheerful unflagging energy to children of the slums, to cure ills that poverty and ill housing bring to them from the time of their birth. A few months ago Dr. Ambler assumed the duties of Assistant Director of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy Research Laboratories. Dr. N. Wattenmaker is making a financial success of his Physiotherapy Institute in Atlantic City, N. J. You should see the new Osteopathic Hospital in Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. George T. Smith is Director of its Cardiovascular Department. Dr. Bertha C. Smith is actively interested in the nursery school movement for children from one to five years of age toward which movement the U. S. Senate has given legislative encouragement (thanks to the efforts of Senators Richard T. Parker, D.O., and Nathan M. Fybish, D.O.). One career is all the most of us can hope for but Dr. Fybish managed an extra. He is Consulting Neurologist to the Neurological Institute and Psychiatrist to the Juvenile Court of New York City. He has made several contributions on his specialty to various osteopathic journals. Due to his untiring efforts, many favorable changes have taken place in Osteopathic £ % SYNAPSIS standing, New York, recognitions, laws, numbers, etc. His favorite pastime is walking in the fields, woods, and parks. His hobby is symphonic music. Dr. L. E. Slingerland is lecturer in the Des Moines Osteopathic College on diseases of the stomach. He has invented instruments and apparatus widely used in gastroenterology. Dr. J. Wilson Hunter is a member of the Chicago Board of Health. Just recently moved into his new home on Michigan Blvd. I suppose you know that Dr. G. S. Maxwell, prominent in professional organization work, had for several years served as President of the Inter- national Osteopathic Association. He also holds the position of Third Vice-President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. A prominent Osteopathic Physician of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Dr. Myer Cohn, has been elected Coroner of Huron County by an over- whelming majority over his Democratic and Prohibitionist opponents. Dr. C. Getler is chairman of the North Carolina Osteopathic Board of Examiners. He is also corresponding member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Urologie. His hobbies are music, and brunettes. On his way to the Paris convention, Dr. A. Fellows, who by the way is Clinical instructor of neuropsychiatry and Clinical Osteopathy in San Francisco College, stopped over in Omaha, Neb., to see Dr. R. B. Secor. He found him in the Harney Osteopathic Hospital recovering from a minor operation. Dr. Secor is greatly interested in student life, takes care of athletic teams, renders service that is keenly appreciated, majoring strong for the profession he represents. Dr. V. DeRenzo is engaged in general practice in San Antonio, Texas. His book on Causes, Comforts and Costs of Obesity, is just off the press. Last May, Dr. K. Tomajan of Brussels, Belgium, officially operated in Hospital St. Louis, Paris, France. He is the first Osteopathic Surgeon to demonstrate before European specialists in Paris. Dr. C. Gaskell is Professor of Principles of Osteopathy and Chief Resident physician at the Philadelphia Osteopathic Hospital. Have you ever heard of the Sulphur Mud Baths in New Orleans? It is a private institution for treatment of gout, gall bladder and liver troubles, opened several years ago by Dr. J. Culbert. Lm told he is coining money now. Dr. H. Peterson continues as physician and physical director to a girls 1 camp in New England. She finds time to broadcast on health topic-. hunt big game in Africa and contributes generously to various Osteopathic periodicals on Phychology and Morals. Dr. S. T. Lewis is mainly interested in traumatic surgery and has K SYNAPSIS charge of the Industrial Clinic at the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia. I have an invitation to visit Dr. K. Gehring next month, in Detroit, Michigan. He is Chief of Clinic at the Detroit Osteopathic, Out-patient Department. They say he has one of the largest and most modern equipped laboratories in the Middle West. Dr. Wisterman is Director of the Bureau of Communicable Diseases of Erie, Pa., Department of Health.

Adams The spirit of the plastic age, So smooth, he noc s ' em aid, He seems in fact to be the rage Among fat and thm, young and old. Boston has given us beans and Ben. Hurray for Boston and hurrah for Ben. He is number one on the roll and number one in the hearts of his friends and schoolmates — because he is a darn good fellow. Concentration in wor or play, Steady progress day b day. Then those nights when she is there — Who said Bald ' couldn ' t float on air? Mysterious Baldy — the quiet man, seems to be able to take care of a multitude of things and never to get ruffled — at least externally. He is earnest in his endeavors — in fact a student; but nevertheless a certain lady occupies some of his time. Harlon Bartholomew Js[ew Tor is Osteopathic From there many students depart, The legislation is obnoxious, But that does not discourage Bart. Bart is Binghamton bound as soon as school lets out. He is a very lik- able chap — even his wife thinks so. He has worked diligently during his col ' lege career, both inside and out and deserves com ' mendation. 68 Martin Beeman Marty, smart-he, smooth and dapper, Seems to move but at the snail ' s pace, And lo! with not a single capper. He always places in the race. See for yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, just what the tailors do for the well dressed man about town. If people stepped from a bandbox Marty would be easily catalogued at a glance. Most amiable, too, this ambitious son of Os- teopathy. Frank Oscar Berg We don ' t now much of Maiden, We do now edema Fran , However objects to Oscar Must be a superative cranky. Swede has sticking qualities — let ' s stick to- together is his favorite slogan. Like all New Eng- enders he has good poten- tial propensities. Some of which showed up in the Junior year — any one want to know a nurse? — see Swede . E. Campbell Berger The P. C. O. melodians In music are not lax, The etiological factor Is Berger and his sax. Ed hails from a large family of Osteopaths — it is estimated that he has 25 relatives in the profession. We have no fear as to his success. He ' s a city slicker from N. Y. C. and a good student with initiative for rese;i re h. 69 SYNAPSIS - a 1 Joseph M. Bowden Nsw Jersey sends a product We ' ll never want to see go, He ' s crazy over horses, This sturdy Horseback Joe. Joe is from Trenton, but regardless of this, we might say volumes on his fairness in all dealings, his unbiased opinion in settling all disputes, and his unfailing support of his friends. Girard W. Campbell Long Island ma es a dona- tion, Who tries to abet good laws, We support the Junior meetings, With Soup as a probable cause. Soup went on a Life Guard ' s job last summer and took unto himself a wife. This probably ac- counts for the change in his shaving days. He has been quite active in the Junior N. Y. Society; if he is as enthusiastic with his practice, he ' ll sure be a success. Angus Cathie The shores of Massachusetts In history have a place; They send us Angus Cathie, What need for further grace? Angus, as the name im- plies, is Scotch, a good student, despite the name, and characterized by a dry and subtle humor. Ac- curacy and precision are his slogans and as an added quality, has a remarkable amount of patience. SYNAPSIS K James C. Christian Gwyneth Chapman £ met, unassuming, and re- luctant Are the outward signs of Gwyn. We wonder i{ she acts that way When she is out with him. Gwyn is like a clear unclouded sky that radiates little beams of sunshine wherever she goes. And this is the reason that more than one young man likes to bask in the magic of her smiles. To be a good physician Was Jimmy ' s honest aim, So now he ' s taking Osteopathy On a Pennsylvania tram. Jim is one ot the prodigies that can study for a final exam in the time it takes to go from East Orange to Philadel- phia on a fast express. And if Jim should get a mark below 90 — why the course is flunked. Still Jim is an ace of fellows and a wonderful triend. Foster D. Clark Famous men we ' re sure have told him As we circle ' round and ' round: Please, Foster, have a care Lest that mustache pull you down. ' Here comes the Connecti- cut Yankee! Foster is one of the boys that is soaking up Osteopathy by the earful these days. Dry den we hope will be a future president of the New England Osteopathic Association. g % synapsis : LeRoy Conklin Eugenia Coffee ]ean is always present on time, In clinic, church, or classes; Though mee and sort of bashful. She is one of our favorite lasses. Jean, in attempting to continue her father ' s suc- cess, has a very hard task to accomplish. Neverthe- less we feel sure that she is capable of going far in the Osteopathic profession. His girls are — that ' s the question, His dates are — Oh, 50 fast, His ways are so bewitching, Oh baby, hew can he last? Chester must have been a star reporter, sent out to cover Osteopathy — -his work with the pen can be only described as miraculous, and his way with women makes us say : Now, Chester. Agatha Crocker If lyrics were written By this gal, we now The theme song would be Just me and my Joe. Gat is cheeriness it- self and wins her way by the light of her smile. This is especially indicated in clinic where she com- bines this good nature with proficient professionalism and does much good work thereby. -v SYNAPSIS K Frederic S. Dannin Fred Brown Cushman We thin of Maine as farm land, But Si stands in its defense. He still things it is Elysian. And were sure that it ' s no pretense. Si is a remarkable fellow in that his is a won- derful persistency. He be- lieves in sticking to a thing until it is done. And furthermore Si has little time for women and their whims. Stick to that Si and success is yours. Great things in small pack- ages come Is a saying, both good and true; So Fred, if you are quite short, Don ' t worry, ' cause we now you ' ll come thru. Fred is one of the few chosen-an honor student- that has made the grade by being a plugger in the true sense of the word. This summer Fred goes to Indian- apolis, to put his tech- nical knowledge into prac- tical use in assisting his brother in practice. Merritt G. Davis A go den horn, a good strong lung, A sense of humor, a nac for fun, A serious purpose, a family too, A real good man, he ' ll get his due. To know Mert is to enjoy the acquaintance of a real fellow, and to be his friend is indeed a joy. His famous ' Rasp-berry tongue does not hurt us, but prevents us from taking ourselves and lite too seri- ously. We might learn much from Mert . 3 % SYNAPSIS William Desotnek Stephen Deichelman With the girls, Steve s far from slow, He ' s broken many a fair heart; For when he things its time to go, Says he: The best of friends must part. Aside from being a heart thrill to the fair sex, Dike has many qualities that mark him as a leader, gather around him hosts of friends, and assure him of rapid and merited success in his chosen field of Osteopathy. Bdl is from Rhode Island The smallest state of all, But both respond imme- diately To Osteopathy ' s call. Bill almost became a sandwich-maker by begin- ning in Pharmacy. How- ever his trusty (not rusty) mind soon convinced him of his mistake and now Bill is straying around in clinic like an old-timer. William Ellis In basketball he is a star, In baseball he k.nows his stuff; He ' s going to start on checkers, If the player doesn ' t get rough. All joking aside — Red carries more than a major share of the athletic honors for the Junior class. He is an all around athlete from West Philadelphia, that is on the job for P. C. O. and plays also in the American League for Kennett Square. synapsis : Fredrich H. Fechtig He has learned to treat the symptoms, And how to use the nife; J low he ' s treating causes. Combine them — here ' s to longer life. Fred with his long and brilliant medical education has nevertheless a good reliable background in that he comes from a famous Osteopathic family — now he reverts to type. And while Phi Beta and hav ing passed his National Boards — still he ' s a good fellow. Jack Fields Jac (Spratt) could eat no fat J pr could he eat any lean, For he ' s on fruit and more fruit, And fruit covered u ith cream. Jack is the other end of the act from Chi and a merry lad for a ' that. So he has made us like him despite his occasional flights of fancy back to the wilds of Canada. These for- eigners are human after B. T. Bailey Flack Here is a lad that ' s happy While taking a bit of gaff; He ' s going to be a snappy Honesttojohn Osteo- path. A smile inclined to be infectious and a heart we know is big — that ' s B. T. Bailey. Of course many have attempted to kid him about faculty pull but it seems to bother him not at all. Perhaps he has a clear conscience. SYNAPSIS Charles J. Gajewav Charles is such a quiet lad, But when all is said and done His avocation is awful bad; He draws such a speedy gun. Despite the fact that he came from Locust Valley, he ' s the sunny h ' d that everyone likes. He too, is said to like bells — one day in the freshman anatomy class they found an alarm clock under Charles ' chair. John Glenn Johnny never seems to hurry, If he wor s or plays a game, And what stn es our atten- tion Is — he gets there just the same. Although quiet in man- ner — sometimes — John is imbued with an earnest and real desire to secure the most from Osteopathy. Already he has taken ad- vantage of summer clinic work and now looks ahead to a summer internship. ISADORE GOLDNER Hailing from the wonder city The metropolis of the ivorld, Ed will also soon do wonders That will mdk? A Smith ' s hair curl. Another honor man. Sharp, alert, quick answer- ing Ed.

M, SYNAPSIS ,.; William Guinand Harold Gorham A cut-up, with a sense of humor, That ' s always out for sport or fun; But with his feet, decidedly Says he does not choose to run. Very few men in the professional world possess a business mind, a profes- sional mental attitude, and a mind for humor. With these qualities plus a pica? ing personality Binkie no doubt will put Osteop- athy on the map in th it little sea town of oysters and clams, Norwalk, Conn. Bill, our friend, your awful hobby, This Buk complex, drives us wild; Of course we now they ' re awful nobby, But please, we pray, iust ta e it mild. Bill certainly does like to take the venerable fac- ulty for the proverbial ride , and so he will argue about everything, especially Buicks. Regard- less, he is a likeable chap and so accomplished — speaks two langu i • ently, English and super- latives. Wayne Hammond Here ' s the gent with a Ford coupe, Which he drives to school every day. At even-tide, so u e are told, It is the steed for this Romeo bold. Wayne hails from Spring Run, wherever that is. and 15 striving earnestly to acquire that smooth pro- fessionalism and adequate knowledge that will enable him to top the Osteopaths in the community and we ' re sure he is making a ■ it. YNAPSIS Dale Jamison r Leonard Heech He ta es some singing lessons A bit of elocution too; With a touch of Osteopathy He, any cure can do. Leonard aptly combines the power to enter into all enterprises with energy and to do them very well. Now Leonard seems to be doing things for the Axone between times. Dale comes from Grove City, A city it is indeed, Ten thousand population. What more does an Osteopath need? Jamie is still putting people on their feet as the class foot specialist. He has a more than an average interest in his profession and we feel sure that some day Jamie will be one of the big lights in the Bash ' line Hospital. Arthur Jewel Here s a lad of nimble wit That scorns the serene graces, Woe and sorrow are surely hit When he smiles into their faces. Art is the college cut- up that dispells our gloom between classes. His in- genious pranks are indica- tive of wit without malice and his smile is as ingeiv uous as his mischievous tricks. M g SYNAPSIS Wilbur Kell Isabel Johnson Izzy we ' re always glad to see She smiles at all so cheer- fully; Toothing seems to bother her, T or any tas her cour se deter. No one I ' m sure has ever seen Izzy in anything but a cheerful frame of mind — she ' s not that type. Her slow and lazy smile has won her many friends in P. C. O. and we hear there is some reason for going up to New York. Lewistown sends its greet ' ings. We likewise give response Why not smo e out in the tower And hear the rave of Alphonse? Kell ' s extra-scholastic in- terest in the freshman year was mainly that of basket- ball. The second year, the nation ' s reproductive system required much of his attention, and this year he is doing outside work plus his studies. Beatrice M. Kratz Bee, an Osteopath would be And of course that is not all She has the ghastly hobby, Of chasing an elusive golf-ball It early purpose has anything to do with it, Bee will be a successful Osteo- path, cause we find this has been her ambition since the tender age of ten. May you find it and fix it. Bee, and may the patients never leave you alone. 79 X SYNAPSIS A ' Robert Kring There came from out of the west A man tall, lean, and spare, Prepared to do his very best As the answer to a maiden s prayer. Bob hails from the land of rubber plants and rubber tires - Dayton, O-hi-O. Now he is acclaimed as the premier sheik of the iid works his won- ders wherever female hearts can be found to flutter. Perhaps Bob, you better move your seal year. LeRoy LOVELIDGE, Jr. Osteopathy certainly had a flare When he first came to school. Of course it was his curly hair That gave the added fuel. LeRoy thanks us for not using tinted pictures. You ' re welcome Red. Also this chap is a violin player of note and what ' s more — his scholastic record is good and we look to his pro- fessional success. James C. Luker Calm, cool, and collected Derided with no effect, He has his aberrations Within the realm of sex. Luker, the ciass debater and the class arbiter in questions of parliamentary law, has in the course of years debated much but to date has had little success in having his decisions accepted. We, however, admire his tenacity and wonder at his originality. SYNAPSIS ' Vjl ' ' f ' _ William D. Lumley A wicked music master That strums a tune Jul ey And fills our pep meet- ings With pungent melody. Bill came to school to assimilate Osteopathy and how he does. Of course in his spare time he man- ages an Ice Cream Co. so we realise that even ice cream has its uses. Arthur McKelvie Mac is oh so softly spoken, The girls all thin him nice; Yet the fellows visibly shudder When Mac pulls out his dice. Smiling Mac from the realms of the DuPont ' s brings his rich smile into our midst and calmly smiles our troubles away. Nothing bothers him, least of all tough courses. And we shall hold in our mem- ories for a long time the recollections of his fidelity and good fellowship. Alfhonso Merola He loo s as strong as a lion, And yet seems loath to depart From daily examination Of his valvular heart. Al is always good for at least a smile because of his great interest in cardio- vascular. Well, Al may all your murmurs be little ones. And please tell us the secret ot that automatic pin wheel of yours. s j synapsis : William Minor George Miller A sturdy son of old John Bull, Who comes far from over the sea, And plugs along day by day For his vegetables and Oste- opathy. George is the quiet, re- fined type of individual that is admired by the unior class — perhaps be- cause there is so few of them. He should well succeed in Deah Old 1 , and so hope we all. Who will ever forget that resonant Heah at roll call? Bill raises a wic ed rac et And flourishes it with a shove, Then blushes most decidedly When the score is forty-love. The Beau-Brummel of the Junior class is pictured above. Sartorially per- fect, popular to the nth degree, scholastically well established, and possessing an efficient technique, rather inadequately de- scribes this man. David W. Morrison The Massachusetts moun- tains To Morrison gave rise; This fellow, as a student, Is one big, lan y prize. Dave is among the leading students in the class. He descends from good Scotch stock, and consequently has landed several jobs as treasurer during his stay at P. C. O. He is out for the knowledge and from the marks he gets, we should say he is getting it. s % synapsis : Stephen Nayior Always wording day and night, Steve cant help but win; Be it rubbing , boo s, or sports All seem easy to one h e him. William Nairn If you hear a lot of clapping. And then an awful dm; It ' s but an indication That Bill has happened Bill is one of the men that does things about the school to make it run more smoothly. And in addi ' tion to this he teaches, so it is no wonder that we look to him as a shining example of what endeavor can do toward achieve- ment. One can picture the enthusiasm of the popu- lace of the town as they point to Steve and say the D. O. from Camp Hill . Gone is the geo- graphical obscurity of this territorial subdivision, for Steve has put it on the map. Samuel J. Otto Hailing from a little burg In the northern part of Jersey, Sam soon made us realize The beauty of that country. Sam is the dietition of our class, and he sure knows his vegetables. Combining his dietetics with his Osteopathy, Sam should soon be one ot the outstanding physicians of upper New Jersey. A M, SYNAPSIS Frank Randolph A. Jay Pekow Abe is at his very best, This lad so hale and merry, When throwing out his barrel chest And handing us the royal berry . A. Jay (notice the French accent) has such a good nature that we refuse to tell all we know about him -i i id his many and varied talents. In other words, Abe, you stand in with us, even as you do with the faculty. Randolph comes from Pitts- burgh, A good natured boy is he; A journey out to }{arberth, He takes whenever free. Frank gets a big kick out of life by taking it easy and letting the other fellow worry. Frank spends plenty of time at Narbeth and nobody blames him either. Say, old chappie, why don ' t you marry the girl? James Reid Njzw Tor State is surely noted For politicians that shake the hand, So Jimmie should next be wted To help A! Smith lead his band. The politician from Ro- chester, even to the old campaign derby, which he donned in ' 27. Although Jim is not a member of the Shaker Club he has the cerem ony down to a science. See Jimmie for information on all bills and good cigars. 84 SYNAPSIS Aram Renjilian Endowed with the try Of any ten men Aram ' s sure to succeed More than most of them. Unfortunately not many of us can claim the stick-to- it-tiveness that is Arams ' . With this admirable quality of conscientious ability and a logical questioning mind, Aram shall go very far. Raymond H. Rickards There was a young fellow who lived in a school Who had so many duties he didn ' t now what to do, So he got some assistants and gave them all parts Then rode them and rode them; bless his dear heart. Rick has been seen writ- ing material for the Synap- sis with his right hand, typing something for the Axone with his left hand and shaving himself with his feet and he didn ' t cut his chin. That ' s his type. We think, moreover, that some day he will be an Osteopath. Walter Rohr Tod comes from northern K T. A calm and reasoning lad His will is a realm of compulsion Why push this psychology fad? Here is a fellow that stuJies hard and knows bis stuff. Yet far be it from him to be ahead of time. Tod has done considerable collateral reading on psy- chology and perhaps this explains the letters from Ravena in the feminine hand. g SYNAPSIS agg Charles Sauter They said: It ' s Daddy Sauter, All filled with pride and joy; Receive our congratulations. As father of a bouncing boy. Having something to ' .Ut, V. ' i: .. ' .III- not blame Charles for say- ing a word now and then — it is the way of all fathers. And we, too, on say much for the industry and ability of this young man, who strives every day in Oste- opathy. WlLLARD A. ShACKLETON From New Tor state one day he came, His D. O. degree to win, And now we ' re sure of his success, ' Cause nothing worries him. Merrily we roll along is the favorite song of Shack while out riding in the can . Of course everyone knows this ap- plies only going down hill. Credit should also be given as Willard was the first man able to make the Class of ' 31 come across  vith its dues. Joseph Sikorski Wilmington has two people, Two persons whom we want To watch their progress daily — That ' s Sil{ors i and DuPont. Joe lives within commut- ing distance but says that this particular form of wast- ing time is against his poli- tics; he therefore, only goes to the big city in the little state once a week. And he won ' t cut surgery clinic to go a day earlier — nice work Joe. f l M SYNAPSIS Robert Snow the Bob the worker, Bob thinner, A composite man is he, He has his boo s, he has his pipe, And he has his family. Bob , always smiling infectiously, has the ability to say the right thing at the right time, edging it with a bit of his own subtle wit and jovial good nature, so that he is a heralded blues chaser and above all a staunch friend. More- over he plays quite well on the piano. Troy Stratford That Troy is quiet and perhaps shy, You have heard no doubt; But explain then the loo in his eye That the femmes rave about. Troy has one great sin, and that is the fact that he belongs to the last four Rows of Disgraces . Of course Troy that is a handi cap to overcome, but sleep ahead and we ' re sure that you will be rested by the time that you are ready to set the home town on fire. Best luck and good fortune. Harry Sweeney At antic City ' s pride and joy, Harry sure is quite the boy; Of his success there is no doubt, The native people there do shout. After a somewhat tem- pestuous Freshman year, among the pirtalls of Em- brvology. Harry went con servative and now holds several tin badges for his professional attitude and we ' re sure that he will one of these days be an out ' standing figure in Jersey. M , SYNAPSIS Edward Theiler Samuel E. Taylor Sam ' s long, lengthy legs Should rightly bring him fame, If he didn ' t spend all his time Running to and from the train. Smiling always cheerily, he is ever ready to jump in and help when things are doing. He ' ll even sing bass on Tuesdays, and of course he hails from Ches- ter but we Gin ' t hold that against him. Here ' s Ed the student wise, That always nows his stuff, And while the way is dreary For him it never is too tough. Lessons or extra-curric- ular activities, mean little trouble to Ed. All are accepted and finished with slow and consummate ease. Never hurrying and always poised means a lot, we feel, in drawing success his way. D. DeLand Towner J ew Tori; will surely get a brea When Doc is found loose there, With his results and miracle cures He ' 11 ma e all others stare. Doc is one of the chief technicians of the class.

The Class knew what it was about when it picked Norm — with his sunny disposition, diplo- matic manner, high I. Q. and qualities of a leader for the nervcracking job of president. May your pro- fessional career be sucessful Norm , even as has been your term in office. To reach the pinnacle of success Is Bob ' s greatest ambi- tion; And we are sure that he ' ll get there As an osteopathic physi- cian. Bob is one of the school ' s greatest assets as an athlete and as a leader in the various phases of extra-cur- ricular activity. His win- some personality makes him well liked by everyone of his classmates and then again he ' s a student. Harold Weber Here ' s a man who came from the west, Who thought he wasn ' t getting the best; He ' s been with us a year. And we ' re glad that he ' s here, For as an Osteo he rides the top crest. Weber, of Weber and Fields, the famous team from the land of gangsters, has turned out to be a very good egg: ever since being relieved of the arsenal which he claims is p.irt oi the ordinary citizen ' s equipment. ff SYNAPSISX i93i JJunior Class Robert Wilson ' Twas the night before finals And all through the house The men were all cramming But Joe — He was out.

With Harry Wiesbecker, President; Angus Cathie, Vice-President; Evangeline Avery, Secretary and Edwin Gants, Treasurer, we commenced our organized career in the fall of 1927. How we struggled through those first few weeks, with their infra- lateral and postero-superior aspects. Gradually the light of dawning knowl- edge was to be seen on the horizon, in recognition of which we sponsored a Dance at the Oak Lane Revue Club, to which the Class of 1930 came in goodly numbers. A few weeks more and our first semester in preparation to practice Osteopathy had been completed. The second semester was shorter, it seemed, than the first had been. The environment took on a different aspect; under Dean Holden s guidance we learned of the Old Doctor ' s struggle with antagonistic forces, which finally yielded to this new school of therapeutics whose slogan and firm belief is that the rule of the artery is Supreme. The day finally came when we were no longer the Frosh of dear old P. C. O. Although the year had been a trying one on all of us, still, with few exceptions, we returned in the fall of ' 28, determined, more than ever before, to learn of this, our pro- fession. The class officers, as is the custom, were replaced by an election: Art German, President; Girard Campbell, Vice-President; Evangeline Avery, Secretary; Arthur McKelvie, Treasurer. With the exception of a very enjoyable dance, given us by the Class of 1932, the year passed rather uneventfully until the call for volunteers to solicit funds for a new P. C. O. was sent out by the board of directors of the college. We answered in a manner that was exceeded by no other class in raising funds from our in dividual incomes as well as aiding the project by participating as solicitors in the general campaign. Today, under a third set of class officers having Norman Warburton as President, Bob Warner as Vice-President, Agatha Crocker as Secretary, and Willard Shakelton as Treasurer, we are enjoying the advantages of a beautiful new college, designated to promote a diffusion of Knowledge in all branches of the healing art, with stress placed upon those subjects more clearly pertaining to the field of Osteopathy.

This train goes out at once ! Ready? At the starters cry on September 17th, the members of the class of ' 32 embarked on their scenic ride. When we took our seats in the little Sophomore car, we thought we were very big and mighty, especially when we saw the poor Freshmen — but the Juniors and Seniors soon let us know that we were still lower classmen. The first few weeks of our ride was very pleasant, but no sooner did we get to the top than we found ourselves slipping downward. And then we knew that we must live up to the reputation we made for ourselves as little greenies, and start climbing up again. Our sport car seemed rather crowded while we were Freshmen and has remained thus so far. Basketball is our hobby — and how the boys swarmed over that sport! Even the girls tried to put their game across. Tennis, baseball and bowling also found class representatives. The nicest car of all our train was one that has been on the track since the Frosh year — our Campaign Car. The chief engineer was President Ferren, assisted by Vice-President Rowe, and Secretary Redding who lead us to the fore as a class of wee willing workers for the cause. Our clever Treasurer Fish, moreover, juggled the coins around so that we had an extra $100.00 to give the Osteopathic campaign and a peppy Shindig at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Then came the great, dismay producing dip — mid-year exams. Many dropped from the cars, but most survived and came on up to the top again, happy and ready to go on their way. After a few more breath taking plunges, and death defying curves, we, the worn out Sophs, cheered on by the President Eimerhnnk and the glory of our new college, came to the end of our ride. Most ot us jubilant over the fact that we can ride as Juniors next year. Beth Keitsch, Historian. B £ SYNAPSIS Sophomore Qlass c Rgll Axrell, Walter Deposit, N. Y.

It is well able to care for twice the former number of patients, with its new and improved equipment and to offer exceptional care in the obstetrical and surgical depart ' ments. Due to increased capacity, there is opportunity for intern- ship for more members of the graduating class and also provi ' sion for the training of a greater number of nurses.

ORGANIZATIONS g synapsis Sororities and Fraternities Dr. Emanuel Jacobson JT IS said that money is the root of all evil. The late Dr. Con well brought out forcibly that this was not so. He said that the love for money is the root of all evil, because money means power and the love for power can become a tremendous force. This force is either destructive or con ' structive, and so it is with sororities and fraternities in college life. If their power be misused it is destructive but the constructive power of these societies is most welcome in any institution. A group of students within these organizations come together for the common good of sisterly and brotherly companionship; not politics. But untortunately, the inquisitive nature of the beast, projects itself into the business which is not theirs, and as a result — there is gossip. Let me tell of the young man who one day besmirched the character of a woman. He was severely criticized for this by his friends. As a result he felt sorry and wished to repent. He told this to a wise old monk who then said, Young man, get a bag full of down and go to every door step in this vib lage and place a feather upon it and come back. When the young man had done this, he was so happy in telling the monk of his repentence. Not by a long shot, said the monk, Now go back and pick up every one of those feathers. But, said the young man they must have all blown away by this time, and I cannot get them back. So it is with gossip, said the monk, Carried away by the lashing tongue, never to be returned again. This destructive power is the root of all evil. This institution is concerned for the future of osteopathy and the maintaining of its great traditions — if any. Traditions are the backbone of an institution. Students, by their constructive program, and everlasting devotion to the profession and their Alma Mater, build a foundation of tradition, making it secure to reap the benefits thereof not only for their own future, but as well for those to follow, — might I say, for generations. Sororities and fraternities in this institution represent also their national affiliations. More power- for greater good. Concern yourselves with unity in purpose, so that there will be no bickering; no hatred; no envy; but rather helpfulness, to your deans, faculties, and colleges throughout the land to enhance your profession. Let this be your ideal. Lastly, keep in mind that your sojourn is this institution is to obtain S £ SYNAPSIS an education, not necessarily understanding. Education may be the founda ' tion, but many people without it, with great understanding, have made everlasting names for themselves and their institutions. This under ' standing is better obtained among yourselves by application of your education. Sororities and fraternities, may you be ever guided in your wisdom, and helpful, not only to yourselves, but to each student within this in ' stitution, so that you and your faculty maintain accordance in education and understanding.

Drew Obstetrical Society T HE Drew Obstetrical Society was founded in 1925 to give the student body an opportunity to gain an added knowledge in the art of Obstetrics and by so doing to foster an increased interest in this branch of the medical science. The sponsor was Dr. E. G. Drew, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in honor of whom the society was named. Dr. Drew, still maintaining his keen interest in the society, attends many of the meetings and gives the members and guests the benefit of practical experience gained during the years of his wide and varied practice. At these meetings obstetrical treatises, prepared by students, are read to the society for the purpose of dissemination of facts relative to the art. In addition to the efforts of the students and Dr. Drew, many interesting and valuable talks have been delivered by outside lecturers. The roll call is composed of the names of those seniors who have qualified by submitting theses on Obstetrical work and have been elected during the second semester of the Junior year on a com ' petitive basis. Undergraduates are cordially invited to attend the monthly open meetings. % SYNAPSIS OFFICERS OF THE DREW OBSTETRICAL SOCIETY Charles M. J. Karibo President Carl J.

The representatives of the class of 1931 were duly elected to membership after having obtained an average of at least ninety per cent in the subject of Physiological Chemistry and after having shown record of acceptable research work in the interest of the organization. The purpose of the society is to promote and stimulate scientific thought and research in physiological chemistry as related to Osteopathic principles. With the completion of our new college a special laboratory with complete equipment was provided for our work. It is due to this fact principally that the society has been enabled to enjoy a signally active year. Under the leadership of Professor Russel C. Erb, a definite program of research has been organized. Three principal problems are being investigated. The first problem, that of blood chemistry, is being considered with special emphasis placed on the elements calcium and phosphorus. The second problem undertaken is that of a thorough and systematic investigation of the chemical tests used in urinalysis. The most accurate tests are to be selected, due consideration being given their practical and economic values. These are to be standardized and used in the chemistry department as well as in the clinical laboratory. Dr. Vergara, in charge of the clinical laboratory, has announced his full concordance with this project. The third investigation, that of gastric content and its analysis, is being conducted under the advice and the guidance of Professor Stoertz. Latest reports show that dis ' crepancies have been found in several of the tests previously accepted as standards. All indications point toward interesting as well as valuable disclosures. Working on the properties of nerve tissue, Luker is attacking the problem in a manner which has, as far as we know, never been essayed before. The field being an original one, progress is of a necessity slow. However, definite results will in all probability be an ' nounced before the conclusion of this semester. It is not the intent or the desire of this society to make spectacular discoveries; rather it is the purpose to carry on research in the true scientific manner. Data are being kept of all work attempted, successes as well as failures and positive as well as negative results are being recorded. To follow this plan our scope must be limited, our efforts focused on a definite objective. New facts exposed will come after thorough, systematic, and exhaustive research. In concluding let us say that the foundation from which all attempts will arise, shall be the desire to further advance the principles upon which is based Osteopathy. 134 I synapsis : RESEARCH GROUP THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY SOCIETY W.

At the present time there are more than two hundred clubs in the various universities and colleges in the United States and Canada. The purpose of this organisation is to band the students of the Catholic taith together in an endeavor to further the ideals of Catholicism, to encourage scholastic achievement in the student body, to bring about good fellow- ship and understanding between the students of the Catholic faith and those of other beliefs, and to provide, in a measure, a means of social activity for the members. The Newman Club of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was founded March 22, 1927, and numbers among its members many alumni as well as students. OFFICERS Richard U.

The 1930 Prom is to be the best ever due to the efforts of the very active committee and somewhat to the more business like method of establishing financial integrity. It will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Friday evening, April the 25th. The Seniors and the Faculty are guests of the evenings. T5 The Committee William N. Minor, Chairman Warren E.

Any senior student, having attained a general average of 90 during the first three and a half years of his study, and having attended 90 per cent of all classes is eligible. The names are voted upon by a Faculty committee and those elected are announced at Commencement at which time these new members are presented with a gold key and a certificate.

What a wealth of material — and everything was progressing beautifully, when like a bolt from the blue, or from Christianson ' s elbow, Harry Davis lost two teeth. This put him out of the game for a few weeks, and on returning he sprained his ankle in the Delaware game. Not to be outdone Purse and Hartzell sprained theirs also, in an epidemic of sprains. And then Red Ellis was debarred on account of professionalism. Thus was the prophetic brilliance of a season somewhat clouded. Yet the season was not without success. The boys regis ' tered seven victories to nine defeats, the latter being mostly by the single point or single goal method. Victories were chalked against Germantown Y. M. C. A., Alumni, South Jersey Law, Delaware, P. M. C, Moravian, and Eliz,abethtown. The team this season was chiefly composed of under classmen and so the outlook for ' 30-31 looks good — if we may predict. Toomey and Brown lead the team scoring, as freshmen aces and some say that with a little more experience Toomey will prove another Charley Hyatt, of Pittsburgh fame. 3 % SYNAPSIS  it BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Game Opponents Osteopathy Germantown Y.

This can be said because they opened decidedly on the bad side of the ledger, when they lost to Washing- ton College, Chestertown, Md., on April the fifth, by the score of 7 to 2. And the chief reason to be given for the defeat was the evident lack of practice, noted especially in the battery. In the first inning, 3 Washington College men were walked and then an error made, netting the opposi ' tion 3 runs on a subsequent hit. In the 6th inning another error, after two walks and a hit, netted two more runs. Yet after these two bad innings the team played mighty good ball. Each team garnered 4 hits, and for our side the attack was led by Bobby Warner with two singles. Ferron collected a two-bagger, and E. Garland a single. The line-up for Osteopathy includes many veterans from last year and also some mighty promising material from the Freshman class. The lost stars of the aggregation due to gradua- tion in 29, are Speed McKevitt, Bruce Thomas, and Cy Corwin. At the present time the battery is composed of Ferron, pitcher, who hails from Gettysburg College, and who has the ability to throw them where they can ' t be hit and to hit them where they can ' t be caught. On the receiving end of the combination is Red Ellis, he of West Philly High fame. Captain Red Parker holds down second base in major league style, lending, by his playing, the snappy punch necessary to make a well functioning infield. The infield has Beidler and Miller at first base; Brown at short-stop; Warner at third, where he scintillates in the usual Warner flashy style. In the field are Hartzell and Toomey on the left; E. Garland at center; and R. Garland to the right, all endeavoring to outshine each other. With such a wealth of material, and with the coaching of Coach Secorand Dr. Champion we hope and expect much in this sport. 5 3 % SYNAPSIS ' 4 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 5 Washington College April 16 P.

M. C. The tennis prospects look good in that there is a veteran team back with us in: Captain Dick Davies, Bill Minor, Harry Davis, and Fagan. Furthermore al efforts are being made to secure nearby courts for practice so that a selected group of players may be had from which to choose a rep ' resentative team. This team will be selected by tournament elimination. Many new men are out and so :t looks as though the chances are better for a strong team than they have been since the time of Dr. Carl Fischer. Some of those who are trying to break into the limelight this year are: Ramsey, Christenson, Rapp, McDonough, Sherman, Fish, Goldner, and Adams. The indoor season, with its background of little or no practice was hardly a success. Two matches were played with Penn. A. C. The first was lost to them, 4 to 1, on December first, and the second by the score of 5 to on January 28th. Yet a word of explanation might be said in defense of the team in that all of those playing on the Penn. A.

Due to the fact that the three highest rolling bowlers were un ' able to play the match was lost. The tryouts for the team were held at the Colonial Alleys, 52nd and Sansom Streets soon after mid-years with marked success on the part of the players in making good scores. A return match with Villanova has been arranged and games are pending with such teams as Temple, Optometry, Drexel and Pharmacy at the present time. Several industr al teams and the Germantown Y. M.

What a startling galaxy of be-knickered golfers unearthed their mash ' e-niblicks and answered the call of Dr. McDanials in hope of making the team. And many were their efforts as they dug in sand ' traps and killed snakes in the rough on their pilgrimage to the 18th green. Those that survived the day and saved the $2.50 green fee are prospects for the final selection of the team. All the members of last year ' s team were lost by graduation and so an entirely new team will necessarily have to be organised. We hope that the efforts of Dr. McDanials in organizing this new form of sport will not be in vain this year and that the team will merit our hearty support by ts action and develop into a standard integral part of our athletic department.

The members of the Association are the graduates and professors of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. The Trustees of the College and the Alumni of other recognized institutions are eligible to honorary mem- bership. The membership fee is Two Dollars a year and is payable any time during the year. Many of our Alumni are coming back to see our new and spacious home and all return with a great inspiration and I am sure they are proud of this temple of Osteopathy. The Alumni Endowment Fund is steadily growing, and each year members of the graduating class have volunteered to carry on this great work.

Statisticians tell us it is found chiefly among the Germans who have been working in metals for ages and among the Jews who have been working the Germans for a similar length of time. And for those who believe in signs, it can be said that the signs point to the fact that heredity plays a most important role in the perpetuating of a select line of goutees . In fact some cases are on record that the said disease has visited the same joints even unto the third and fourth generations. Many years ago, when Remi etait un petit enfant de dix ans , and our native land belonged to the Democrats, we are told that every authorised bar-tender has the privilege of talking about his gout instead of his opera- tion . However, we suppose that, due to the fact that bar-tenders are out of style, and due to the fact that the disorder is characteristic of the joints of the leg this is the reason those so indisposed call themselves boot- leggers . At this point, if I may, I will hasten to correct any erroneous impres- sions concerning this disease being a rich man ' s disease just because it makes deposits. Etiology — scientific investigation by Lots and Moore traces the cause to retention of urine and other putrid bases. It seems the urine distends the bladder — of course we should not talk about it — but the urine subse- 172 SYNAPSIS ' M 1 quent ' y makes a sudden rush to the kidneys who resent it very much They think it is a lot of brass on the part of the urine so they spill it into the blood stream, where the phagocytes bundle it into fagots and carry it to some joint — and folks here ' tis. Symptoms — there is marked swelling and th ' s again is misleading to the populus mundi who always did consider the rich a bunch of swells . And let me tell you, this swelling is a mighty serious matter. It forces the contiguous tissues into liquidation — imagine their dismay. Their Repara- tion Conference immediately encroaches upon the nerves and causes rheu- matica spondylitis ossificans ligmentosa, hemorrhagica subdermalis, elevation of the hyoid bone, hookworm and fallen arches, to say nothing of pain in the joint. And finally there is loss of skin and everyone recovers, except the Scotchman who dies of a broken heart. Prognosis — Some say it is very grave — but personal ' y I think this is a little too pointed. Treatment — Primo — hold up the joint. We recommend sawed off shot-guns, machine guns, and hand grenades as proficient instruments. Yet since the enrollment shows some Chicago students, they may be listed for consultation. Secundo — since alcohol is prohibited, fraternity dances, house parties, and football games are contra indicated. Ditto — Special attention to the diet — read Mrs. Brown ' s Home Cooking Course of Dignified Diet for Every Day. Osteopathic Treatment — study and steady the spinal cord, especially the lumbar and the sacral areas. It must be so it is in the notes. Then trace out the nerve supply to the joint with tracer bullets and correct the lesions. One method of correction is with the patient prone on his face. The operator stands with both feet on the patient ' s back and directs a corrective force on the lower of the two vertebrae in lesion so that the plane of force extends at right angles to the articular facets and in the general direction of the Broad Street subway. A counter force 11 is developed by buying a necktie at Snellenburg ' s and paying close attention to the salesman. Examine the feet and soothe the kidneys, then play 18 holes of golf before supper and call it a day. We hear one of the faculty is suspected of being a Big Heart Man from the Chest . SYNAPSIS testimonials I have, for years and years, visited doctors the whole world over, the medical physicians of our own dear country, the medicine men of South Africa, and have even on one occasion attended a Medicine Ball, in Gymna ' sium, Hungary, but to no avail. My condition has been diagnosed, neurosed, and hokused ' pokused as gangrenous stomatitis of the lobar pachy dermal fold of Nutmeg 11 by the most special specialists of the world. I have taken hydrotherapy, including Murphy drip, up and down enemas, water on the brain, and water in the milk, to say nothing of sun treatments on the back, the front, and the Riviera; I have taken photos in Camberia, Japan, and Upper Darby, two necklaces and a pair of ear muffs in Wanamaker ' s, but my condition kept getting worse. Finally, one evening while passing through Culnel ' s Corners, Ark., a place where they have corduroy roads instead of trousers, I was prevailed upon by an acquaintance, one M. Ule Skinner to try a bottle of your Still ' s Osteopathy, 98c size. And ever since I have been that smiling, confident woman at all times.

I am a bony brown cow with two horns. I ' m a regular devil-gambo ing in the meadows. I have a long tail that I use to shoo the dirty flies away from me. I am often abused by farmers. My nails are never kept manicured. In fact the manure is so thick on my tootsie ' wootsies that sometimes I wonder if my toes are still with me. You folks who read my sad tale are sitting in luxury with beautiful rings on your fingers and bells at your front doors. I have my bell around my neck and my poor husband, who most people say, is full of bull — well he has his ring in his nose. But so life is. My poor life is punctuated with quarts. If I miss my punctuation marks or get too old or get sick — Swift and his gang of murderers get me. No coroner sits on me when I ' m killed but many people sit around me and recite snappy dinner jokes. Everybody has a purpose in life. My husband ' s purpose is to chase red flannel shirts, red stocking garters, red haired flappers and other red things off my playground. My husband is a jealous sort of a fellow and sees red all the time. He ' d be right at home in Russia where the bewhiskered communistic bulls hold forth. My purpose in life is entirely different. My biggest function is to manu ' facture rich milk for milk dealers who become rich. While my husband ' s aim was red things, my aim is to keep milk dealers alive, fat and happy. But other than that mine is a noble work. I keep the babies alive who have society 1 ' ' mothers, the mothers who would rather fondle a Pekinese lap dog than press their own flesh and blood to a breast of motherhood. I rent my bosom to such unfortunate babes. Yes, my work is a noble one and I ' m sure of happiness after the carving knife is dulled on me. For isn ' t Jerusalem with milk and honey blest. And that admits me. And now let me make a true confession of the crimes milk dealers commit in the barn, in my very presence. It is a well-known fact that no sooner have I manufactured a little milk than some rude milk man or a poetic milk ' maid, sir-she-said , comes along with a bucket from which straw and flies have been hastily brushed out, and rob me. The very idea! Some day, I ' ll get mad and tell my husband and you bet he ' ll knock the poetry out of any milk-maid that attempts to rob me again. Well so far so bad. My sister, who lives in a barn near Camden, told me that there they don ' t milk by hand — or foot either. Now I don ' t {Continued on Page ISO) - ■ — cs r 178 SYNAPSIS F Dr. Fletcher H.

Oh, it ' s awful ! I often sigh a deep l moo to myself and pray for the butcher to come along. But dear folks, don ' t think that the white stuff you get in milk bottles is my exclusive product. Like Wrigley ' s chewing gum, no milk is genuine unless it bears my signature, and no milk dealer ever asks me for that. Milk dealers don ' t only water the horses. They are bad men. They practice all sorts of mathematics on my milk which I make free of charge for you dear people. Their mathematics are bad. They substract something from my milk and call it skimming. They add lots of things, but the words are so big I don ' t remember them. Pity me, people, it ' s true I have two stomachs, but I can ' t stomach all the things they do to me. Some day I ' ll spit my cud in one of their milk pails and run away from home. Pity me, people. Look at the leather shoes on your feet. I ' m even punished after death. Pity me! Moo — moo! Russell C.

And Axis responded as stiffly as starch, Such ingratitude I never found. Who is the one that gives you support, And makes your existence a fact? But before Atlas had a chance to retort, Axis continued his act. It is I, Epistropheus, the second in line In the Vertebral Column, ' tis true, But if I should step out of this place of mine, Tell me, what would become of you? Don ' t think because you are the shape of a ring With arches posterior and ant, That you can encircle everything; Because, let me tell you, you can ' t. And don ' t think because you hold up the head And forward and backward let it bob, That you can fill old Axis with dread, And think you are the boss of this job. You act just as if you were the whole cheese And had control of us all; Why, if I were to take as much as a squeeze You ' d experience a terrible fall. Where is your body, Mr. Mighty and High, There ' s something I never could see; If you were as strong as your name would imply, Then why did you wish it on me? Your colossal conceit is decidedly odd, And I ' ve borne it both early and late. You may be the King in the Land of Nod; But not in the realm of Rotate. When it comes to movements upward and down I admit 1 have nothing to say; But Occiput must be an awful clown If he lets you have your own way. Of course, I admit your assistance is slight, When those sideward movements we make; When the old Caput swings from left to right, But don ' t try all the credit to take. Now, while I ' ve been connected with you It ' s been fairly present I ' ve found, Of course, I ' ve been in a lesion or two; But just now I feel pretty sound. But if you really feel that you want to quit Being partners with me, forsooth. You can easily make an end of it By letting go of my tooth. Then came a cry and a shriek at this junction, As from a fair maiden distressed, In fear, it would seem of an imminent puncture, Miss Medulla had come to protest. Yes, Medulla it was, or Chorda Spinalis, By which name she is also known, Who, in this conflict of Column Vertebralis An interest now had shown. Please, Gentlemen, please, I beg you desist From this course you propose to take; For if in this act that ' s so rash you persist The liver of us all are at stake. But then up spoke Transversum Atlantis, A ligament, stalwart and brave, You just don ' t mind what they try to hand us, For that tooth there in question ' s my slave. Just let them talk all they want of releasing This process Adontoid, you know, For while I adhere to my place unceasing, Toward you, dear, it can never go. Then the Column Spinalis just shook with emotion From Sacrum and Coccyx above, Vibrating applause at this show of devotion. Pouring forth on the hero their Love. Then from down the Cavernum Thoracic A paean of joy was heard, For the auri-ventricular masses By the news was deeply stirred. For the good, old reliable Nodum Kieth Flackus Had passed the word along. To Tiwara, who told it to Bundle of His, Who expanded and burst into song! And then the poor heart just started to flutter, And beat at a terrible rate. It murmured at first, and then couldn ' t utter A sound, its joy was so great. The lapse seemed to fill the old heart with remorse. So it started to beat anew. And the Cycle Cardiacus resumed the course That all normal cycles do. When the auricles were in their next systole Tricuspid dropped below, And told a Pulmonary Artery Who carried it on with his flow. As a matter of course, all the veins Pulmonic, Heard it and took it around To the Heart on the left with a cyclonic, When it pursed through the Mitral and down. Thru the Aorta, artery, and capillary, Thru Veins and to every part, The news went along and never did vary Until it returned to the Heart. Then all of the organs through the whole system Pealed with a hymn of praise. For Trans ' nobles act they couldn ' t resist him From that time till the end of their days. A. G. J., ' 31.

Mother, having been a trained nurse, asked pop several questions of a personal nature. She persuaded him to take off his shirt and she saw that he was all broke out. Why, you ' ve got the measles, she shouted with delight. It was an opportunity to show dad that she could save a doctor bill. Dad says, Daphne, I hate to disagree with you, but I think it ' s the hives. Why, what on earth ever gave you that silly notion? says mother. Well, they argued about it off and on over a week and then called in an osteopath. He diagnosed the case as blister rust.

This department is specially constructed with primary consideration to efficiency in Roentgen studies, and also in regards to safety factors, an explosion chamber being furnished for the storage of X-ray plates and material. © The primary consideration of minute detail and refined technique enable the department to produce studies of high standard and excellence. © The X-ray rooms comprise special units for X-ray, fluorescopic, and stereo- scopic examination. The X-ray table, with concavemetal top is convertible into a flat top by means of extra sections and consequently is suitable for fracture studies. A modern Bucky attachment further increases efficiency bj ' eliminating secondary rays and emphasizing the detail of the plates. An upright Bucky is employed for the study of viscera, the patient in the erect position, and is especially valuable in the study of ptosis and lumbar conditions. © An automatic plate changer is another facility for chest examination and stereoscopic work, making possible the visualization of the thorax in all three planes. A therapy outfit, composed of table and tube stand, adjustable to any posi- tion or distance is used for treatment of skin diseases and malignancies indicated therapeutically. Another feature is the fluorescope, with motor-driven table, adjustable to position, and shock proof, for the visualization of bony structure, and also radio- logical examination of the gastro-intestinal and cardio-pulmonary tracts. © This equipment is the latest production of the Victor X-ray Corporation of Chicago and was selected as the most practical from many other standard makes. In addition, the electric control room was designed and equipped under Victor supervision and with Victor materials.
