_.4H PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOP THE SYNAPSIS or 19 4 1 PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS ATHY, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA 3 7 ' 0 FOREWORD Yearbooks are really a lot of memories, pleasurable or otherwise, enclosed between two covers. Years later you may look back to your book and recall events in your school life that passing years have made difficult to clearly remember. We will endeavor in these few pages to bring back these memories, not for now, because we are still too close to them, but for five — ten years from now. This book represents four years of work and its accompanying good times to the class that published it and to every class indirectly. We will try to take you through the four years, one by one: the bewildered Fresh- men, cocky Sophomores, serious Juniors, and finally the again bewildered Seniors. We are indebted to the Nurse ' s class of 1941 for combining their annual with the Synapsis and allowing for a finer and larger book. We thank the faculty and student body for their willing cooperation, and in return. hope that a few years from now )0u will be grateful for this doorway to the past.

There is only one man who teaches all four classes. The Freshmen meet him on their first morning and learn to connect him with Gray ' s. The Sophomores see him on the fourth floor and more anatomy. The Juniors follow him into the Hospital as externes and finally the Seniors have him again for review. His service may not have been as long in period of years as some of our older men, but in total hours he surpasses all. Between his positions as Medical Director of the Hospital, Student Health Director, Prosector, and the essence of anatomy in P. CO., he is practically on twenty-four-hour duty. The Freshman ' s Friend, one of the leading forces in our institution and a true osteopathic physician. We give you— DR. ANGUS G. CATHIE. A T }i GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 19 4 1 I believe it was John Dewey, great American philosopher, who said: The first distinguishing characteristic of thinking is facing the facts — in- quir)-, minute and extensive scrutinizing, obser- vation. Where or when I first read or heard this philo- sophical statement I cannot remember. That is beside the point. Fact is that it impressed me as pointed and related to what I sensed and saw reflected about the science of osteopathy. In our earlier years some scientific investigations were carried out. Seemingly to us in retrospection there followed years of inertness and diffidence. More recently real thinkers and inquirers have entered our fold. The atmosphere of things has changed. The art of osteopathy with all its gar- nishments has been outrun or at least matched. Art is in flight today before the sciences. The sciences have progressed with astounding eclat — inquiry, minute and extensive scrutinizing, obser- vation — the need for these things has impressed us. The call is clear. Here in your College organized, systematic re- search work goes on. There may be only super- ficial evidence of it — but it is to be registered and it is real. I have followed the progress of the Philadelphia College for more than a quarter of a centur)-. Notable advances have been made. But nothing pleases me more than the mind, the will if you please, of various members of our facult)- to inquire into the why of osteopathic things. This last is vital. President Emeritus, A. Law- rence Lowell, Harvard University, from a rich life and a long educational service, has this to say; Experience has proved and probably no one would now deny, that knowledge can advance, or at least can advance most rapidly, only by means of an unfettered search for truth on the part of those who devote their lives to seeking it in their respective fields, and by complete freedom in imparting to their pupils the truth that they have found. There lies a gem from a learned gentleman whose education and wisdom may well be recog- nized and respected. The future of osteopathy as a profession is linked with the inquir}-. minute and extensive scrutiniz- ing, observation of her teachers and students. EDGAR O. HOLDEN OSTEOPATHY IN A CHANGING WORLD There is nothing so consistent and inevitable as change; in the moving currents of hfe one either goes forward or backward. The truer view of the art of healing can be found not through the microscope but through the telescope. Look back over the years through the microscope and you will see cholera sweeping Asia and across Europe, malaria and typhoid fever running rampant and uncontrolled, the Black Death, one of the most memorable of the epi- demics of the Middle Ages wiping out an esti- mated 25,000,000 people, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, and other infectious diseases taking their toll among children, etc. The microscope and the telescope yield two quite different views. Through the microscope we see people and nations living from day to day in fear of epidemics, pestilences, and plagues. We see doctors bent over their patients, confused and hopelessly befuddled. But look again through the telescope and we see mankind passing through one of the great changes of all time. We see science and medicine working together in finding the cause of any alteration of the nor- mal life processes of the body under the influences of unnatural conditions. We see new theories and approaches in the art of healing that have revo- lutionized the treatment of disease. We see the system, founded on the principle that All bodily disorders are the result of me- chanical obstruction to the free circulation of vital fluids and forces, being adopted in the treatment of disease and the treatment of almost all bodily disorders. We see mankind, trying to assimilate this new system, gradually becoming world-wide in its reach. On the shoulders of the students who be- lieve in this new system, founded by Dr. A. T. Still, falls a great responsibility. In a world of nations, races, and classes swinging confusedly from one loyalty to another, amid abundance and poverty, vast unmet needs and vast unemployment, jostling one another, there is bound to be new and perplexing problems. JOHN G. KECK IN MEMORY OF ... . THE LATE DR. ARTHUR M. FLACK, SR. Dr. Arthur M. Flack, Sr., who although he was comparatively unknown to the present student body, stood as one of the stronger supporters of P.C.O. Dr. Flack served as Dean from 1911 to 1924, after being connected with the school for many years as an instructor. He was graduated in 1906 and received the honorary degree of Master of Science in 1934. All his life was devoted to the advancem ent of Osteopathy and P.C.O. DR. MARTIN SCHNOLL Dr. Martin Schnoll, fellow in Obstetrics and a graduate of the class of 1937, whose passing left many bereaved friends and former classmates. THOSE WHO TEACH FREDERICK A.

Filled with our knowledge and diploma, ready to pitch in on the four hard years we had been told to expect. We met in the Auditorium, a strange, bewil- dered lot on the verge of our big adventure. It had taken a long time to get to this point and we were overflowing with curiosity and eagerness to start. We looked over the upperclassmen around us and approved or disapproved as suited our im- pressions. We then turned to inspect the impres- sive array of faculty assembling on the platform in full academic dress. A lot of strange men talked to us of welcome and why we were there and we all laughed at a dry humored, sober look- ing gent who we were to connect always with banterish lectures and announcements. And then came classes and more classes, with no cuts or free periods like the old days. It seemed that anatomy was all that was necessary even though every prof insisted that if you knew his course you would be a successful physician. So we learned anatomy, word for word, line for line and we started losing our fresh appearance. We watched others fool around with this osteopathic technique and even delved a little in its mysteries ourselves. We went home and treated our suffer- ing families; maybe bought a stethescope and put it on — backwards. We were told that we were to give a dance for the rest of the school and we did in November. It was a roaring success because everyone was ready for a change and a chance to break loose. Christmas brought a very welcome two weeks ' vacation but did we have a time trying to explain the theory of Osteopathy to our uninformed friends and relatives. Many a heated debate and many an embarrassing moment when they asked us something that comes in our Sophomore or Junior year. January brought Exams and why deny that we crammed because we did and plenty. And then Re-exams, and some of us crammed some more and a few faces disappeared. A snowy, rainy, sloppy Philadelphia changed to a smoky. Springy one and most of us joined the frat we had found to our liking. The work seemed to get easier or else we were getting smarter. Any- way, before we knew it. May had sneaked in and it was time for Exams again. And then it was over — one down, three to go — . 17 FRESHMAN CLASS — 1941 Artman, Grover Hellam, Pa.

We were Sophomores — We had gotten by the hardest year — We knew our way around and had less anatomy each night to prepare for. It was a pleasure to go to the dance that the Freshmen gave for the school in November, all the more because it didn ' t cost us anything this year. Of course between Nervous Anatomy and Dissection, they kept us busy, but you couldn ' t suppress that feeling of I ' m on the way at last and a cushion of air seemed to slip beneath our feet. Those who were not let down with too hard a shock by Mid-Year Exams or bothered too much by thoughts of being drafted for the army passed into the second semester without too much diffi- culty. And now we were assigned to Clinic with white coats and everything. Of course it was only to stooge for the Juniors but what the heck, from appearances the patients couldn ' t tell the difference between the doctors and the stooges and so we were Doctors. We didn ' t get in as many arguments this year. We knew a little more to prove our points, at least enough to see that it didn ' t pay to argue. The treating began to come in earnest and there were quite a few acute lesions and a lot of hypermobile necks developed by overzealous practitioners. Those who hadn ' t brought bad sinuses with them, seemed to pick them up as the days went by. And there was still the Draft. Besides the Freshman Dance, fraternity parties, the Charity Ball with Benny Goodman, and stag banquets constituted our meager social life. Those who could afford it even took in the Junior Prom in April. May again came winging in and we forgot about the outside world and Hitler long enough to take more Exams. Two down — Two to go — The halfway mark. 25 SOPHOMORE CLASS — 1941 Adams, Kenneth Longmeadow, Mass. Adickes, Edward Ozone Park, L, I., N. Y. Barlow, Alfred Huntington, W. Va.

Ages ago, back in September 1938, we started as verj- green and slightly bewildered Freshmen. Months ran by with fraternit}- rushing, cramming anatomy, planning the Freshman For- mal, and wishing for Christmas to come sooner. The girls looked out of this ■world one day after a session with methylene blue and mercurochrome, plus eggs in their pockets. Bob Womble became Pop ; Nort Levin gave a lecture on the carotid sinus and called Rickettsia — a disease due to the lack of Vitamin D : elections showed Dick De- Nise as president, and Ronny Mertens, treasurer; giving them a hand ■were Jack Kelch, vice-presi- dent, Roberta Conover, secretar}-, and Manny Fliegelman, student council representative. After the wear and tear of vacation and Mid-years, along came our first Charitj- Ball — with Paul Whiteman. And so it went — one thing after an- other, with plent)- of study and hard work in berneen — and we were Sophomores — we hoped. Another summer went by and back we came for more. Our class practically intact, with maybe an outside addition or two in the way of a wife or JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE George Court Chairman Jack Sinnett Norman Arends Nanq ' Court Viola Kruener Richard Heistand Dale Yocum Joseph Furey Robert Goldman Nicholas Tretta 42 baby. Somehow Sophomores don ' t do much but study Pathology and pray. We had some officers — most of the old guard back with a few changes — Joe Furey, treasurer, and George Zink, vice-presi- dent. The back row lost all the friends it had because of the shape of an eyeball. Physical Diag- nosis brought out a few manly chests and stuck the girls in a corner. The J.W.O.A. dances were a lot of fun; along about January, Beryl and Mike pulled a fast one and took the fateful leap — the first pair of 1942- ers to jump off together. Another year — another Charity Ball — this time with Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra — and mighty smooth it was too. Half the class stalked the halls with lancet in hand, looking for its prey; the other half loafed or looked superior and too, too professional as clinic assistants (we can ' t say stooges any more) . Spence Bradford ' s dissertation on Proser- pine was really something; we had a grand time at Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Davis ' s on Memorial Day — what with baseball and the Fisher kids, bridge and black-jack, to say nothing of the food and liquid refreshments. So here we are, Juniors ! Sam Brint got married during the interlude. The past is gone and the present is in full swing — the future still a ques- tion. Where is this let-down they all tell us about. ' Dick still remained supreme ; George Zink gave him a helping hand as vice-president again and the other officers the same as usual. There was a Barn Dance along in October with a return to our childhood Hallowe ' en parties — bobbing for apples, chewing strings for marshmallows, little girls in big bows, engineers with oil cans, and last but not least, Danny Bond ' s orchestra. Of course there was the Draft — Worry! Worry! Pharmacology brought forth a few more prom- ising lecturers — Aileen Corbin and Andy Kluko- sovsky. Bong ! bong ! — Student interne so-and-so — No, thank you. We want two big males for first floor. Bradford, Aiken, Smeyne, Hiestand, ad infinitum. Op-3 4 41— 8;00 A.M.— in at 7;30— there goes that hour ' s sleep. Caps, gowns, masks. Time, duration, remarks. Oh, Doctor, I have a gas pain ; please do something. Get Doctor Baches, the little fixer-upper. Do you want gloves to shave a patient — ask Rudner? Tough getting accustomed to sitting in classes again after six weeks in the hospital; and there were clinics — General and Pediatrics — wriggling babies on scales and tables, formulas, incessant questions — couldn ' t my baby have so-and-so? Johnny ' s six weeks old and he only weighs ten pounds and he weighed seven pounds when he was born — don ' t you think he needs more food. ' The new order of things in Clinic was really something — saves so much time and energy. Get- ting this ready for publication kept the staff too busy for a long time. The Junior Prom came along in April after plenty of hard work on the part of George Court and his very able committee — it was a bang-up occasion. And so it went — we ' re close to the final step now — just a few more things to do before we finish and face State Boards. They ' ve been three grand years — plenty of work, a little play. We ' re all sort of glad there ' s another year ahead. Three down — One to go. R. CONOVER 43 CRAZY WITH THE CRAMS (Rhymes to be repeated the last day of Exam.)

THE CAMERA SHY SENIORS ISRAEL SIEKERKA EMIL ERRICO HOWARD MEMINGER 55 A SENIOR LOOKS BACK This is the beginning of the end — and with the never-relenting chorus of There ought to be a law against eight o ' clock classes! we Seniors headed for our last round-up — and came the all- too-serious realization that It ' s only four short years! As Freshmen, we were afraid we wouldn ' t make it; as Sophomores, we knew unquestionably we would; as Juniors we were beginning to wish we wouldn ' t; and now as Seniors we ' re trembling because we did! Such is Life! First semester, we Seniors spent re-accomplish- ing our accomplishments of last year — serving in General Clinic (where the surprise — but pleasant — of an entirely new set-up made us begin to feel like physicians, and even to look a little like them) , interning in the Hospital (where a patient isn ' t always what his title implies, and where two- rings is a party line for ten), and in Pediatrics Clinic (where formulae became tiny individual personalities, protesting — but definitely — when something didn ' t agree somewhere). We ' re in the Army now is more than just a joke to us, for Conscription found us almost one hundred per cent eligible. Soon we ' ll all be Gone With What Draft? Our Superiors in the College are all working for us in this respect, and their results are most encouraging. Thanksgiving and Christmas were holidays en- joyed by most, necessarily forgone by a few, but Santa managed to reach all of us, and the Ne ' w Year greeted us with a belligerent Before-I ' m- through-with-you — attitude that implied -we ' d have our own troubles before another New Year ' s Day rolled ' round. And just as an indication of any sincerit)- behind this implied threat, there fol- lowed on the heels of New Year ' s gaiet) ' , a Strange Interlude spelling Mid-Year Weeks to most college students. With this period back of us, we celebrated (especially the newly selected internes!) at the Charity Ball. And I do mean celebrated! Psychologically, we hear, looking back is not a good sign. Denotes introvertism, backwardness, pessimism, and various and sundrj ' other negativi- ties. As Seniors, however, we find it ' s just too much to resist — this temptation to reminisce over the past four years, with each of us mentally writing his own personal Memoirs of P.C.O. The dissatisfaction created by unpleasant duties — counteracted by the fun indulged in at parties and dances; the monotony of classes broken by the novelty of Smokers ; the laborious hours incor- porated in exams, compensated by that all-too- important diploma; and the ying competition of fraternities softened by the genuine congeniality of friends and classmates. These are the recollec- tions brought to light as we sit and day-dream. Our temerity as Freshmen was subdued — but firmly — by frequent grim reminders that we are dealing with Life, and tho ' there are ver}- few in- curable diseases, there are many incurable patients. And as Seniors, we begin to realize chat the lesson of all true living is to learn our own limitations. Thus, few of us have any delusions of grandeur about our own abilities, and since we are new- comers into the professional world, we ask only the forbearance of our more experienced associates until we make the necessary adjustments, and are solemnly pledging the best of ourselves to our fellow men!

Brave and fearless, wise and stealthy. He will strive to keep you healthy. When apprised of germ invasion, (Mostly via skin abrasion) , Forth he rushes to do battle — Ne ' er a pause to think of what ' Jl • Be the outcome. As in thrillers, He sets out to get the killers! Then, unless the germ outruns him. With his opsonin gun he stuns him. And having done so, grimly beats him To a pulp . . . and then ... he eats him ! J. Tully, ' -IV THE GARBAGE CELL The histioq ' te ' s a scavenger; By that we simply mean, It roams the bloodstream up and down, Alert to keep it clean. And yet, for one with ways so neat. This doesn ' t seem to follow: Whenever debris comes its way, It merely starts to swallow ! Still, don ' t despise the garbage cell, For nothing could be meaner; What would our systems do without This living vacuum cleaner. ' J.

The A blood cell and A blood cell Each other weave no magic spell ; Like sister, they, and brother. But should t} ' pe A meet up with B, Then what a union you will see! Upon each other jumping, They clamp each other by the neck, Nor care what processes they wreck By their promiscuous clumping. The blood cell should monastic be, And lead a life of celibacy, To keep the bloodstream flowing. Instead of piling in a heap, The lonely cell will usually keep About his business going. So team not A with B or O ; It may prove fatal to do so, In doing a transfusion. When they begin to gravitate Each to the other, they create One hell of a confusion ! J. Tully, ' 43. THE MANIAC CELL The cancer cell is any cell That one day seems to say, Oh, hell! We cells are just a pack of fools To be tied down by System rules!

Dean Russell C. Erb, B.S., M.S., F.A.I.C. Associate Dean Floyd L. Kefford, A.B. Registrar Louis G. Schacterle Bursar 79 DR. O. J. SlSPt ' DER, FOUNDER This year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of our school by Dr. O. J. Snyder and Dr. M. W. Pressly. Never once in those forty years has O. J. missed a chance to help on the growing insti- tution and as a result, we have the fine building of today and hope for a still larger one in the future. Known to all for his unyielding support of the fundamental principles of Dr. Still, Dr. Snyder stands as one of the pioneers of our profession, and a man whom we all respect and admire. We live in momentous times. The political and financial and economic structure of the world ' s life is shaken. But the ethical and moral foundations of a well-ordered existence are unchanged, im- mutable. Truth, duty, honor, sincerity, respect for self and consideration for others — these remain the ideals of enlightened humanity. And none have a more compelling obligation to uphold these essentials of a peaceful and progressive society than the young rnen and women of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. Your preparation for the performance of this obligation is adequate beyond question. Your pre- cursors in this field were not as fortunate as you have been in the matter of preparation. Fifty years ago when we received our training and when osteopathic education was first instituted, our course of study was embraced in two years of ten months each. Chronic diseases and traumatic con- ditions were our chief field of practice. Osteopathy was esteemed rather a specialty in therapy than a complete system. Today you are equipped both with respect to theory and training to cope with all manner of diseases that are amenable to treat- ment by any school or method of therapy. Then, too, legislation has been procured in every state in the union establishing high educational requirements for the practice of your profession, eliminating quackery from the field and vesting you with all the authority that is conferred by law upon practitioners of the other medical schools of practice. If I may presume to further advise you, I would urge upon you, young graduates, as you go faring forth to serve humanity, that you hold fast to the tenets of Osteopathy. Do not be swayed by every new fad and fancy in therapy that may come to your attention. You have been instructed in all that has been scientifically proven to be of thera- peutic worth and that is your armanentarium in your battles with disease and your efforts for the maintenance of health. Osteopathy embraces all that has been scientifically proven to restore normality without impairing vitality. If antiquity of a system of therapy is evidence of its scientific verity, take comfort in the dictum of Hippocrates himself who employed manipulation in his sanitarium at Cos and who enunciated the principles that the efficiency of such procedure, manipulation, depends upon its power to adjust anatomical structure of the patient and to stimu- late obstructed or retarded physiological processes. Galen, the second-century father of progressive medicine taught like fundamentals of mechanical therapy. Aristotle held that The best physician is he who regards the human body as a mechanism. Never forget, therefore, that your most urgent need is for preparation that is thorough — for such a sound equipment of knowledge and facility that you will be able to meet confidently and adequately the manifold problems that will confront you in practice. Only by such unremitting, conscientious effort, in college and afterwards, can you hope to be worthy of your high calling and to command the honor which is peculiarly the reward of the able physician.

In breaking tradition or stepping out of an accepted line there is always a certain degree of hesitancy, of debating whether to step or not to step; whether it is better to let well enough alone and go on in the accustomed way, or to make the break and take the chance of having to brook disapproval. So it was with our new Year Book , we decided to step and we hope you like it ! If you do disapprove it should at least appeal to your Scotch ancestry — getting two books for the price of one ! To discard an old and establish a new precedent in the way of Year Books was not our motive. When the merger was suggested to us we liked it and, after the necessary approvals, seized upon it. We take this opportunity of thanking the Junior Class of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy for permitting us to join their book and to their Editorial staff for their splendid assistance and cooperation. Subsequent books will, of course, be in the hands of future classes, but in the meantime again we say, we hope you like ours ! Editor. MISS S. FRANCES BOND, R.N. Supervisor of Obstetrical Department We will ever be grateful to Miss Bond for her wise counsel, friendly guidance and often tried patience during her years as our advisor, but most particularly throughout our Senior year. Her ready wit and sense of humor, coupled with her fine under- standing, helped us over many a rough spot. In our hearts, there will always be a place reserved for her. 88 The End of a Nurse ' s Day Seven o ' clock! and the nurse ' s work Was done for another day! She heaved a sort of tired sigh And put the charts away. Then sat for a moment and bowed her head Over the httle white desk — I wonder, ' ' said she to herself, after all, Am I really doing my best? Perhaps I could have begun the day With a brighter, cheerier smile, And answered the bells with — ' Right away ' Instead of ' After a while. ' And I might have refrained from the half-way frown. Although I was busy then. When the frail little girl, with the sad blue eyes, Kept ringing again and again. And I might have spoken a kindlier word, To the heart of that restless boy. And stopped a moment to help him find The missing part of his toy. Or perhaps the patient in Eighteen A Just needed a gentler touch; There are a lot of things I might have done And it wouldn ' t have taken much. She sighed again and brushed a tear, Then whispered, — praying low, My God, how can you accept this day, When it has been lacking so? And God looked down — He heard the sigh He saw that shining tear; Then sent His Angel Messenger To whisper in her ear,— You could have done better today. But, oh! the Omnipotent One, Seeing your faults, does not forget, The beautiful things you have done. He knows, little nurse, that you love your work In this house of pain and sorrow. So gladly forgives the lack of today, For you will do better tomorrow. The nurse looked up with a grateful smile, Tomorrow I ' ll make it right, Then added a note in the order book, Be good to them tonight. 89 MARGARET C PEELER, Ph.B., R.N. Director of Nursing Graduation and Commencement — two words signifying the same exercises but with vastly different interpretations. Graduation, the conferring of a degree ; Commencement, the receiving of a diploma and the beginning of a new hfe. This new hfe should be a continuation and development of the life begun in school, for no undertaking or project that is worth while ever comes to the place where there is no need for advancement, correction, or improvement. True education means constant forward movement with growth. It means that each day we learn something which makes us more useful in helping the rest of the world. If education is to be a success, the individual must not merely absorb knowledge but must help all whom he meets by giving it out to them, not only through conversation but through his life. The Class of 1941, a group of young women with leadership and the spirit of cooperation, has been an asset to its Alma Mater. The Profession of Nursing needs individuals with these characteristics. The future of any profession depends upon its members. You will always be a part of the world in which you live and work. Your success and the happiness and welfare of those with whom you are associated depends upon the part you are able and willing to play. 90 • ' ' wA - HELEN M. STERRETT, R.N.

Years of headaches and heartaches in which more than professional knowledge has been disseminated. Those of you who have learned more than the routine nursing procedures are the ones most desired by patients and physicians. More frequently than one may imagine good nursing care is required more than the ministrations of a physician. So it is as you leave this institution to care for human ills, I wish, on behalf of the Resident Staff of the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia and myself, that you be ever mindful of your pledge, ever mindful of its sincerity — success will surely follow. They are built one upon the other. RUSSELL E. FRY Chief Resident Physician IOj NURSES STAFF Irene Snelson Editor Jean Dakin Historian Helen Byers Asst.

With absolute disregard of the conventional form of presenting a systematic record of past events, here you will merely find notable and typically descrip- tive lines about the members of that Class of Classes — 1941. Probably the place to begin this would be on that memorable day, September 5, 1938, giving you a bird ' s eye view of the arrival of the Belle of Peachbottom or that pint size package from Squeedunk (Bucket), or one of the others, but first I ' ll have to tell you what our Helen did the other night. The Screwball was in Clinic, prob- ably playing jacks with Dr. Cathie, when the conversation slid around to anorexia ; Byers piped up with, Oh, yes, I have a couple of those little bed-wetters down at P. G. H. Someone really ought to tell her. That, of course, doesn ' t equal the faux pas she pulled when — as a Probie — she explained to Dr. Weisbecker the menopause — You know, the change of life. He being a perfect gentleman and entirely in sympathy with the trials and tribulations of his new students, hurriedly went on to make a schematic drawing in order not to be too awful confusing. It was in his class, too, that George ' s calm voice uttered the shocking question, Is it the baby ' s or the mother ' s lungs that are floated to determine if the baby is stillborn. ' Right here, before rambling further on varied and diversified subjects, may I express the deep appreciation and affection we have for Dr. Weis- becker ' s untiring patience, his ready understand- ing, his faith in practically hopeless Anatomy stu- dents, his support of the Student Nurses. During that Pre-Clinical period we were prop- erly put through our paces in that marvelous undertaking of making Osteopathic nurses out of the glamour stricken, rawboned material with which the Educational Department was confronted. Daily, at least daily, we were admonished, Charge your minds, girl by that white-haired lady who 108 ill 0± ' ): ' I taught us more than Nursing Arts, Hygiene and History. Her sense of humor and antics amused us ; her perfection in grooming and technique im- pressed us, and her fineness of character proved to us the heights a true nurse may reach. We were exposed to Chemistry to the tune of I mean, I mean, and a pecuhar Lewistown twist to many words. Pathology was made even more fascinating by a dynamic and compelUng personality, who really formed a common bond with us the day he proudly drawled, Back in the sticks where I come from. In Materia Medica class we were challenged with a quotation from the Bible, You see, but you do not observe, how true; and here the declaration was hurled at us, I don ' t mind teaching you, girls, but I positively refuse to do your studying for you! As a matter of actual fact, it did us no end of good. In the words of our beloved Bacteriology teacher, All things being equal, I could go on and on, dwelling on the peculiarities of our pedagogues and disclosing classroom comedies and tragedies, but let ' s summarize these with, so fawth, and so fawth, and so much for that. Within those hospital walls there was but one room in which we were permitted to loosen those restricting ethical bonds. The Dissection Room. Picture a bleak, blowy mid-winter morning, a large shadowy room with many long, covered slabs, a unique odor pervading even the corners ; a single low-hanging lamp lighting one uncovered slab, and the figures of white-clad girls, perched on long-legged stools. Several of the white figures are at work, scalpel and tweezers manipulated awkwardly, while the others, in subdued but resonant tones, serenade their cadaver, Suzabelle, with Christmas Carols. The miraculous accomplishment of the powers of this Training School, to my way of thinking, is the maintenance of a home for transplanted sprouting up-starts. Just two homey adjoining houses to all Spruce Street travelers, but within blanketing every article of furniture, clinging to each drape, reflecting from the mirrors, covering the wooden floors — there is a penetrating spirit molding the characters of the inhabitants. Here lies the vent for the pent up emotions of a day ' s - ' s - 109 work in a capacity that dares demonstrate nothing but a professional reserve in human drama. Any hour of the day, here you can find examples of release of these valves in heated arguments, color- ful narrations of hospital happenings, the plotting and execution of class projects. Speaking of narrations — for many weeks we were entertained by Ralph ' s descriptions of the peculiar sensations she had just before keeling over during deliveries. Funny thing about it is she is a rabid fan of bloody prize fights, and friend and defender of rats and mice. During these nightly bull sessions we learned of Pipe ' s noble attempts to prepare a nasal irrigation for a bladder treatment and a hallux valgus for de- livery. P. S. — The latter was one of Miss Bond ' s pious ideas. The possibility of presenting the Arbegast technique for vaginal hysterectomy was discussed. We thought it would be quite a con- tribution to the science of surgery, since it was done with a mere flip of the wrist, requiring only a cotton ball on the end of a pair of forceps. One night while enjoying one of these conflabs, destruction broke loose in the form of the Miller Flood of ' 39. Edith was busy chortling over Snelson ' s confession of having attempted to give a douche without a bedpan, but the last laugh was on her when we all stood around watching her pull once white stockings from the drain and desperately attempt to sop and stop the raging torrent before it passed Miss Peeler ' s door. For three years in Chapel, George has rushed us through the Lord ' s Prayer, so in revenge we ' re going to reveal an O.R. secret. She ' ll deny this, but in accordance with a suggestion from her senior nurse. Griffin was seen diligently dusting the amphitheatre seats on Clinic day. Then sev- eral days later, after careful instruction, she pro- ceeded to magnetize the sterilizer. Speaking of O.K., I ' d give a lot to comprehend Bergen ' s conception of asepsis. She certainly gave an original variation of performing a sterile Milk Lab set-up when she proceeded without cap, gown, mask or even scrubbing. It makes one wonder if it ' s necessary, after all, to bother boiling the stuff. I ' ll have to consult Phizz. Moreover, what ever possessed her to stick her contaminated fingers in Mrs. Lusher ' s bath water ! That is unsolved Mystery No. 1. Oh, well, she has always been noted for original performances and ideas, for example the administration of Alophens 2 for insomnia. I ' m not even going to mention her weird pipe dreams because she has done every- thing but prove that they are true. Due credit must be given to our Walking Edition of Who ' s Who. Without Bucket ' s ready, accurate and detailed information on anything and everything, it is doubtful if the members of this class could have progressed so rapidly in the pursuit of whatever we are pursuing. Knaubie begged me not to mention her beautiful black sky piece with drapery, so I won ' t, except to say that when worn it gave the appearance of good groom- ing and a modest degree of glamour to the wearer. Worry, worry, the Zero hour is drawing nigh and there is so much to be aired. There isn ' t time or space to elaborate on these, but they at least deserve mention: Heerdegen leaving Dr. Eaton stranded in O.R. dressing room without underwear; Chubby Miller ' s numerous engagements, to say nothing of her trips to O.R. ; Reese ' s mysterious trips to Camden (. ' ) ; Byer ' s peculiar reaction to P. G. H. coffee, her Date Bureau, and the day she ran for the ferry without paying; E. Miller moving Delivery Room to T. S. O. — just a mistake. ' Vera Kefford in the capping processional wearing galoshes — almost; Little Irene waving to Dr. Cathie about 3:00 A. M., also proudly lugging Nursery Chart to Professional Adjustments class; Wrubleski very helpfully removing the chair Dr. Pennock was in the process of occupying. Being a naturally cautious nature, I ' m not go- ing to attempt to make any prophecies about this unpredictable class, but will just bring to your mind the old saw, Time will tell. Please remember that Dakin is Vice-Presi- dent of the Ananias Club of which Byers is the President. — Ed. no PATRONS AND PATRONESSES Antonio Abeyta, B.S., D.O. Beryl Arbuckle, D.O.

From seven to seventy yearbooks in three years, to make us the largest exclusive year- book publishers in the east. One way to explain it is to say that Campus in not an engraver, a printer, or any other type of processor, but a service organization w ell acquainted with the ins and outs of yearbooks; co-ordinating all the phases of yearbook planning and processing. Not being a processor, we can cover the field more completely. There is no budget too small or too large in which we are not interested, nor any reproductive process that we cannot supply — letterpress printing, engraving, offset printing, or gravure. Using these processes to the best advantage, we now make available five different means to a good book. In letterpress printing, MASTER-PRINT and ENGRAV-PRINT. In offset printing, MASTERTONE and VELVETONE -and in gravure, REGENTVURE. All five, from start to finish, are handled alike, receiving the same Perceptiplan servicing; specialized handling of your yearbook from the infant idea to delivery of a fine finished edition. All five are Campus books through and through. These five — differing in price only as they differ in desired effect and budget limita- tions—possess in full those superiorities in appearance, economy, and general effect that have, in three years, made Campus the leading service organization that it is.
