AKi ' . OSTEOPATHIC OATH I do hereby aflSnn my loyalty to the profession I ani about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect, both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame and discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no deadly drugs to any, though it be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college, I will be loyal and strive always for its best and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to and adhere to and develop the principles of Osteopathy as taught by Andrew Taylor Still.

A great part of that year was spent in Anatomy where we were serenaded by Jimmy, Tommy and Latissimus Dorsi and their iliotibial band, while Kogan and SklofT entertained Felis domestica amidst the cadavers in the laboratory. Anatomy lectures were a mixture of fine art with Colvin dropping his colored pencils, heated debates on dorsi and plantar flexion and infinite quizzes to disor- ganize our intellectual demeanor. In Embryology we got the pitcher and memorized our manuals like good little stu- dents, while Bayuk and Dr. Torrieri held pri- vate discussions on numerous and sundry topics. Histology, a Tremenjous course left us with a permanent ring around one eye and a hypertrophied biceps from looking into and lift- ing our microscopes. Little did we realize, that it was basic training for actual combat with Pathology. The first Biochemistry midterm, where John marked the papers by osmosis, taught 43 of us that we were not infallible but that we could always get a job at Penn Fruit upon Dr. 4 Schall ' s recommendation. For one whole trimester we learned how to build atomic bombs to the tempo of a Texas drawl and footsteps back and forth from podium to blackboard. Out of the tumult and holocaust of the first year there arose four permanent institu- tions of the Class of 1960: 1) Our perennial class president, LoBian- co, who traumatized his digiti pollex by tack- ing official office notices to the bulletin board. 2) In spite of the commotion made by Jones, a substantial note-taking system was organized and perpetuated which before it was through, gave rise to such greats as notetaker Cipriano and co-ordinator Pavorsky, without whom many of us would have had to learn to write. 3 1 Pinochle, bridge and Canolli clubs were started with exclusive membership. 4 1 An intricate system of espionage and counter espionage was initiated for the evalua- tion and dispatch of all rumors received from many and varied sources. After a brief respite, we were plunged into our second year of study w here we fin- ished the basic sciences and dealt with the clinical sciences. We started in good health with eight courses and finished with sixteen and some of the signs and symptoms of shock. A directive from the front office sent Allenius to Loder scurrying to the rear, while Marruchello to Wozniak occupied the front. The former group strained their eyes or dozed while the latter group paid strict attention in class. When the Loder brothers, who occupied key positions by the windows, decided that what the class needed was a good airing out, Dabney and Kingsley rallied their pneumonia- ridden bodies in an eff ' ort to close them. The big course that year was Pathology, which I can assure you is spelled B - 1 - G . However, when all of us racked vip such ter- rific scores in the laboratory practicals, the de- partment was forced to pass us. Physiology was in reality a comparative anatomy course in which we climbed the phylogenetic scale from turtles to frogs, to mice and finally to rabbits. With our fingers still black with kymograph dust we plunged into Pharmacology. As early as the second year it was clear to see that Kogan and Soechtig would be big doctors at graduation time. We worked ourselves into a feverish, pitch in Physical Diagnosis and just about managed enough time to hand in our coloring books in Principles and Techniques as the year ended. And wlio uiiiung our studious roiij) will ever forget the third year with its grand total of 71 catalog courses with tlieir exams and re-exams? For some, amphetamines became the magie elixir of life and coffee flowed like water in the eternal battle to stay awake dur- ing final examinations. This was a year of fame and personali- ties. Proulx returned from Europe to steal the fasliion scene with his Paris-created cravats; Gratz discovered a ciu-e for alopecia; Scolnick became a Captain in the Salvation Army, J. Cohen returned from the French Foreign Le- gion: Rothchild won an award at tile Cannes Film Festival and Kessler and Gelzunas won cash awards in an abstract art contest, while Bollman received a 10% cut . When the whole world eyed seat num- ber 18 and screamed Where ' s Charlie? , the Junior Class yelled back In Death Valley tak- ing the National Boards. While S. Cohen and Graffnian read every medical book and journal ever written, Getzoff satisfied himself with a permanent position in the Archives of On- cology. Into our vocabulary crept new words and phrases such as If you will , ambidex- trose , laryngotracheobronchitis , myofasci- tis , leonine facies , and micro-organisms . We even learned to spell otosclerosis . A §10,000,000 project extending over a 10-year period was inaugurated, which would eventually put bigger and better signs at City Line. At year ' s end without great ceremony, the ditto machine was put to rest, never again to clickety clack all through lunch: while mem- bers of our class were fitted for the latest straight jackets from Jenkins in anticipation of th(? fourth and final year. After three years and 100 examination books, the big year arrived and was ushered in with on( mass sigh of relief. With our for- mal didactic years behind us, we plunged into the fourth year with new founded vigor and enthusiasm. Our school work was divided be- tween hospital clerkships and clinic duties with one half of our time being spent at 20th Street and the other half at 48th Street. In spite of a busy year with an extra six weeks of summer extemships, many of us found time to study Ornithology in the Audu- bon Society, to take long walks in Juniata Park or to picnic at Riverview Beach. Our hospital service was a fascinating one and prepared us for the many facets of our osteopathic career. In Obstetrics, we counted contractions as we watched the nurses busily scrubbing for deliveries. On night service, even though some patients referred to us as vam- pires, we became skilled in the use of the vacu- tainer and tourniquet. With aching arms and an increased palpatory sense we finished our service in the raiders. When Dr. Barth became postmaster of Philadelphia it was rumored that the osteo- pathic Christmas seals would replace the usual 4 cent commemorative legal U. S. postage. Like all classes before us, it soon became time to pick an internship, but this year it was more like a lottery with everyone playing the numbers- Many of us planned to stray from the narrow confines of the City, in which we were educated and like the great pioneers before us, make the long trek westward. PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY BE IT KNOWN THAT HAVING-SATISFIED THE REQ.UIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR- OF- OSTEOPATHY HAS ACCORDINGLY BEEN ADMITTED TO THAT DEGREE WITH ALL THE RIGHTS PRFVILEGESANDRESPONSIBILITIESTHEREUNTO APPERTAINING IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF THE SEAL OF THE COLLEGEAND THE SIGNATURES AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE HEREUNTO AFFIXED SIGNED THIS TWELFTH DAI ' OF JUNE ANNO DOMINI ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ...TO HERE DEDICATION To be a physician is indeed a noble and satis- fying profession. It is a profession of dedication. But how much nobler and more satisfying and how much more dedication is rec uired to be a maker of physi- sians? To be responsible for the education of those into whose hands are entrusted the very lives of their fellow men is indeed a Divine privilege. Dr. Angus Gordon Cathie is truly a maker of physicians — Osteopathic Physicians. He has dedi- cated the last 2 ' i years of his life to the education of Osteopathic Students and to the promulgation of the Osteopathic Concept with never any thought of per- sonal gain or financial success. When the Class of I960 first began its pro- fessional education at P. C. O., we respected Dr. Cathie out of pure fear. As time progressed we came to know him and our respect grew — not out of fear but out of admiration for his vast knowledge and enormous capabilities. To our Class Dr. Cathie was more than a physician and a teacher. He was our friend. In spite of his many projects and activities, he was never too busy to give us that extra lecture or to discuss our problems or to treat us when we were ill. As Commencement approaches we are sad- dened by the fact that there will be no more Anatomy lectures, no more chalk talks, no more conversations over coffee at the drug store, but regardless of these things Dr. Cathie will never be forgotten by the Class of 1960. To you, Dr. Cathie, we humbly dedicate this book in the hope that it will be a tangible expression of our sincere gratitude and appreciation. .v.i ck; C . 1 liill ! 1 i m I PRESIDENT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF I960 I am always happy to greet Philadelphia College of Osteopathy men and women on the occasion of their completing the studies for their degree — Doctor of Osteopathy. I am indeed happy to greet you — the members of the Class of I960. Nineteen Hundred Sixty is the beginning of a new decade. There have been numberless com- ments on what the next ten years will bring. No one knows. You, however, are secure in the knowl- edge that you have been educated to fulfill your lives in service to all, whether they be in good or bad health, and whether economic conditions be prosperous or depressed. The quality of the fulfillment of your lives will be determined by yourselves. Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy has presented you with an opportunity for an education. You have been in- structed by a largely volunteer faculty. These osteopathic physicians are in the great tradition of the generations of physicians. They are teaching and giving of their knowledge to the next genera- tions. There are many factors which will deter- mine the quality of the fulfillment of your lives: your family life, your health, your character, your personality, your capability in nurturing a con- stant growth as a physician, your ability to make manifest in the good health of your patients those skills of which as an osteopath you have special knowledge, and your ability to live as part of your community — both lay and professional — with a becoming professional demeanor based on your competence as an osteopathic physician. As an osteopathic physician you will be part of that numberless company of men and women who through time have brought to the service of Charity their skills and their lives. No really great physician has been outside this tradi- tion. You are the recipient of manifold gifts — many made at great sacrifice: a fine education; a golden opportunity; and a professional life — in- cluding helping those who follow you — to which precious few can look forward. My congratulations and best wishes to each of you. A MANUs7 TO THE JVfi MBERS OF THE CLASS OF I960: t ' The osteopathic profession is dedicated to the advancement of the osteopathic school of medicine and it has declared that it elects to seek its destiny as an independent healing arts group. The osteopathic profession like any living organism must adapt and grow in a changing environment and at the same time remain true to its nature and function. • Society at large tends not to be too mindful, except irt periods of crises, of any profession. Individuals in society, however, are very much aware of individuals in a profession and are apt to equate the profession with the individual practitioner. What you do, then, determines what your patients think of the osteopathic profession. Americans are used to and indeed expect change. They expect im- provement, they expect hard work and they extend a great deal of trust in judgment. But woe be unto the profession that abuses this trust. The key to the matter is integrity. Americans look first for this and having found it, to trust the man who has it. For you as osteopathic physi- cians, integrity rests in your being real osteopathic physicians. You must identify yourself as such, practice as such, and exemplify the integrity the American people expect of a physician who has taken the oath you have. With such integrity your material rewards will be more than adequate and your satisfactions beyond your fondest hopes. With all good wishes. DEAN Frederic H. Barth, Chairman Guy W.

THE LEDERLE TRIP FOUNDER ' S DAY M H K 1 i i i{ 1 J 7A MEMORIAM KENNETH LEROY SENIOR August 11, 1907 September 22, 1959 As the last class to sit in fotmal lecture with Mr. Senior, we are especially honored to dedicate this page to his memory. For twenty-three years he shared with this institution and its students his determination to provide the very best for the most. We were the last to appreciate his active willingness, but the fruit of his endeavors will linger for a long time. Mr. Senior became affiliated with the Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy in 1934, after years of extensive training in the biological sciences. Be- tween the years of 1934-1957 he advanced from Assistant in Chemistry to Chairman of the Department of Chemistry. He served as Assistant Dean of the college from 1952-1954 and in 1954 was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the college. His unrelenting desire to teach and to serve his fellow man will long be remembered by the thousands of students who have benefited from his untiring devotion. The hand of thanks will be ever extended by those who knew him — for these are the men who can say they have met greatness, his kind of greatness, which is seldom achieved in one short life- time. May he receive eternal rest in his departure from the peoples and the places he knew and served. K. HOBART ROATCH July 18, 1896 July 10, 1959 The Class of I960 was saddened during its Senior Year by the most untimely death of Mr. K. Hobart Roatch. Mr. Roatch most ably represented the W. B. Saunders Publishing Company in various territories for a period of 22 years, though for several years pre- ceding his death, he worked in the Philadelphia area. He was held in such high esteem by the Saunders Company that he was almost invariably called upon to represent them at National Conventions. He was probably known and liked by more Osteopathic Physi- cians in the Country than any other layman who called upon them and was perhaps the best ambassador of good will to our profession that the Saunders Com- pany has ever had. Mr. Roatch was regarded as a friend by the administration, the faculty, and by the entire student body at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. His ready smile and cheerful greeting could be found in the halls of the College every Wednesday afternoon. He was truly happy when he was surrounded by a group of students. With his passing the Osteopathic Profession and particularly the Philadelphia College has lost one of the best and dearest friends it has ever had. He will be sorely missed.

We wondered how anyone could remember all those facts but with Dr. Cathie ' s help all the pieces gradually fell into place. One of his color drawings was equal to about 100 pages in the text. In spite of Dr. Cathie ' s terrific lectures, some of the students, especially those who diligently searched for the glabellar bone, found the course too tough and withdrew from school. At last report they were building bridges for Dr. Algase. Who can forget our first day in the laboratory? When we emerged we looked like sick carpenters car- rying our toolboxes- After a few weeks the lab seemed like home. The memory boys withdrew to the comers of the lab to study tlieir notes, others made the cat so neurotic that he leaped from the 4th floor window, and still others were Ijusy formulating mnemonics to sup- plement the old classics for the cranial nerves and the carpal bones. Out of their labors came such gems as BUM, BUL, BUM, BUL, BUM. This was all well and good but was there any reason to develop a mnemonic for a mnemonic? Twice a week we had quiz sections scheduled but Dr. Cathie sometimes used these hours for additional lectures. Our sympathetic nervous systems were always stimulated to the utmost until we saw the box of colored chalk instead of the grade book emerge from his pocket. Often during the quiz sessions could be heard the exclamations — Not unless there has. been a terrible accident or tell me more. In the Neuroanatomy course Dr. Allen took us up and down the Aqueduct of Sylvius so often that half of the class got seasick. Drs. Cressman and Torrieri had us make so many tremenjous drawings in Microanatomy that after a while we thought we were ready to do the covers for the Saturday Evening Post. There was also some question as to whether one of the fellows in the class was named Levi or Levy, but this didn ' t make too much difference because everyone called him Sheldon anyhow.

This is a result of the statement, What, no lecture — get Dr. Owen. This was fine for all those concerned, except the class note-taker whose presence was imperative at all such lectures — he became very tired T-I-R-E-D. Lectures were never dull except those at four o ' clock on a Friday afternoon, or if we would have three hours instead of two on a Saturday morning. We were all thankful when the first trimester was over for this meant good-bye to Saturday morning classes forever. The average Sophomore was in fairly good physical condition mainly because of the load he carried to classes at least twice a week, i.e., his textbook and his microscope, not overlooking the laboratory manual and the hundreds of slides. It was easy to tell which of the stvidents did his homework just by matching the res- pective sizes of the biceps brachii. It was never bad after the first ten or twenty, but after the two-hundredth slide, a simple squamous epi- thelium resembled quite closely a well differentiated adeno-carcinoma and if you don ' t believe me — why did they lower the passing grade to achieve maximum happiness following each laboratory quiz? Dr. Waddel did a fine job in teaching our course in Clinical Pathology. WBC, RBC, Hb, Ht, MCH, etc. — no, not a code, just some abbreviations of familiar topics. To some, a puncture wound in the antecubital fossa meant the possibility of a passing grade in the course. Then there were those who flatly refused to place themselves in the hands of their fellow class- mates- Since confidence in your fellow man is a virtue, by simple deduction it was easy to see that some of the men in the class were not at all virtuous. The gamut of lectures, laboratory sessions, patho- logical conferences, laboratory quizzes and the excel- lent collection of specimens on view in the third floor laboratory offered more than the student could possibly absorb. This was truly a Basic Science B-A-S-I-C. 0. Edwin Owen B.S., M.A., D.O. Professor — Chairman Department of Pathology- due to due to due to This is definitely Hi shima ' s Struma!

Lessig. There, stuffed like sardines in a can and perched atop high stools, amidst the sights and odors of the parasites natural habitat, we peered into our new microscopes and memorized long names with difficult life cycles. We also learned to make the three ring sign for Balantidium. When the end of the first year rolled around, names like Endamoeba histolytica, Wuchereria bancrofti, and Diphyllobothrium latum became household words, and one prominent eye specialist from the Eastern seaboard was sent on a premature vacation to Lakes Tanganyika and Victoria, — (in Canada?). Bacteriology, another branch of Microbiology, was taught by an eminent lapel horticulturist and his acco- ciates. The lectures were a mixture of facts and amus- ing anecdotes while the laboratory was a conglomera- tion of culture plates and lab manuals. When we weren ' t in the hallway for a breath of fresh air and a popsicle, we were busy analyzing our unknowns on a MaeConkey plate or other assorted media. When one among us worked out a system for solving the un- knowns, our burden became much lighter- However, this was the course that put 19 depression babies further into a state of depression. Serology presented many of us with a big problem when we first analyzed our own blood. These were the times when some students learned that a 4 plus was not their scholastic rating. For those who endeav- ored to make the grade in the course, the Pulitzer prize winning Serology Manual became a bible with Mazzini, Kline, Wasserman and Hinton as disciples. In spite of having purchased this fabled manuscript, one student with seven years of lab experience in Serology didn ' t make the first dilution. Then there was tropical medicine with all of its exotic diseases and the weekly travelogues which took us up and down the Amazon River with Dr. Magonga, chief of Medicine at the Watusi General Hospital. Thus ended our journey through the land of micro- organisms. 4r Joseph F. Py D.O., M.Sc. Professor — Chairman Department Microbiology Public Health Bodies and Antibodies! fv l I ' liilip M.

Heinz counting Dils PHYSIOLOGY and PHARMACOLOGY Physiology was one of the basic science courses of- fered to plague us while we were climbing the ladder to success. The Key to understanding the course hung on the tie of our hypoglycemic master who at times needed our consultation on some of his tougher cases. One phase of the course was lecture, another lab- oratory and still another conferences which were con- ducted weakly by a pipe smoking, brief case carrying physiologist. The labs were well equipped with Pavlov ' s original instruments which sometimes had a funny way of being misplaced. Come-on fellows, who threw the kymograph in the wastebasket? — no one leaves until we find out — Ah. gee, fellows, lets have a little co- operation . Dirty hands, soot covered faces and shirts, and the gleam of pearly white teeth smiling through parted lips as he pithed another frog, or smashed another turtle cranium — this was a typical Sophomore. No one will forget, however, how those dirty hands could trace graphs simulating the cardiac cycle when it was getting near quitting time and the frog heart had stopped beat- ing. The same student cannulized rabbit carotids and suffered from amyl nitrite headaches, all for that great day at Irvine auditorium. Pharmacology followed close on the heels of Phy- siology. This was the class where an upper classman said, Don ' t worry, you ' ll learn it when you have Dermatology . A vote was taken, Goodman Gilman or Best Taylor — They both lost to Playboy and Mad . In the labs where various experiments were being conducted at the same time, one might see a pithed frog being dissected carefully with its cardiac apex beating a crazy mambo tune on a smoked kymograph drum; someone breathing in and out of a Penn Fruit bag, or someone spinning in a Barany chair imagining he is at Coney Island. One still might see two or three students testing the effects of nicotine and caffeine on some worn out cohort or still others trying to remove shellac from their Sunday best. The course ended with a few scattered facts on Prescription writing and that subject called Toxi- cology which was a tremendous substitute for Dori- den . Spenoer G. Brailfonl D.O.

This was our first introduction to the strange world of proteins , lipids and carbohydrates. None of us will ever forget the commanding voice of our Fuehrer giving orders, For next week, Hawk, Osser Sommerson, pages 98 to 1369. Learn this ma- terial well, for there will be a short one hour quiz covering every minute detail — and if you disregard my suggestion — Well Doctor, it will be easier next year or you can always get a job at the Perm Fruit . That day in the dark hallway approaching the good doctor ' s office door, we all waited in mysterious silence for that moment when we would have the opportunity to swallow a new kind of olive with a 36 red rubber pimento. They weren ' t the tastiest, and I doubt whether or not it was human error, but many of the class suf- fered from nausea and still more from acute indiges- tion. Those that didn ' t make the grade in gastric analysis, however, did show some promise in collodian bag making and water boiling. This was a course for many firsts — fencing, blood letting, trying Capone ' s method of distillation and fermentation of sugar and post puncture dramatics with such enthusiasm that many passed out trying. Some days it was hard to distinguish whether or not we were in biochemistry or in the United Nations when we met such names as, Folin-Wu, Donnan, and Gmelin not to overlook Van den Bergh and Ehrlich. It didn ' t take long for the boys to realize that the Icterus index wasn ' t in the back of West Todd, or that Indican was a constituent or urine and not some- thing found on a reservation. Interest was intensive the day the prof said we were to run the Benzidine test and we all thought he said Benzedrine . As we finished the year, we knew only too well that we were to return the following year for a brief but comprehensive course in clinical cliemistry — this then to be our last formal course in biochemistry.

I I do the hest I can with what the Dean sends PRINCIPLES and TECHNIQUES When we first entered P.C.O., we were amazed at the facility with which the upperclassmen demonstrated Osteopathic Technique upon their comrades. We hoped that someday we could duplicate these feats and, as a result, plunged into the course eager to learn all we could but first there were foundations to be laid. Within three weeks time, however, we could unequivocably state on the spur of the moment: The body is a unit . At this point we felt that we had really arrived and techniques would soon follow, but we had to first learn perspective and scope in addition to becoming masters in the art of imitating a transverse process and, with colored pencils in hand, we (and our families) diligently filled in our O.M.T. coloring books, conducted seminars, and summarized articles on Scoliosis for the remainder of the ' first year. As we entered second year, we knew that this must be the year to learn technique. We were slightly discouraged when we once again had to lay foundations and reconsider scope and perspective but interest was again re-kindled when we considered the Biophysical Aspects of many pathological conditions. It was during this year that we learned the full significance of the letter S . Previously we thought that S-139 referred to a submarine. According to the Chinese Calendar this was the Year of the Chicken but to us it was the Year of the Cheesegrater and the Salad Bowl . When it was announced that we would learn cervical tech- nique, many fainted from sheer surprise and before the course was over others ended up with their heads tilted at peculiar angles. Third year once again started with laying founda- tions and at this time we felt as though we had laid more foundations than the contractor who built Levit- town but our enthusiasm returned when we were allowed to go to the clinic and hospital to observe the Senior Class at work. We did not realize it at the time but this basic training was to be of inestimable value when we would be thrown into actual combat with the Raiders . Edgar O. Holden A.B., D.O., Liu. D.

O. Demonstrator ,A ' fy.gvf The Bag of Tricks DERMATOLOGY Dermatology was, to no one ' s surprise, another tre- menjous course. Tremenjous in scope, depth, and the volume of class notes it produced. We were once again impressed with the ease of presentation, facility and ingenuity of the lecturer. In fact, one lecture featured the slide projection designed to demonstrate the entire female derma, alive and intact. That to be sure, is facility, and could anyone suggest a more interesting presentation ? The course began with a revue of prescription writing with special reference to the vagaries of skin diseases. Dr. Cressman, by teaching the importance of writing spontaneous and unrehearsed prescriptions be- came a one man agency, crusading in behalf of the congressional committee now investigating pharmaceut- ical payola. We soon mastered the multitudes of derma- tological soaks, salves, ointments, sprays and various other nostrums, and proceeded to that portion of the curriculum designed to make us aware of the mysteries of diagnosis and nomenclature. With the aid of the forementioned slide projector, and in a darkened room, the puzzling propensities of skin diseases were described. Thanks to the congenital hyperfunction and outstanding development of the visual purple of one distinguished note taker (Wishnoosky, Wisnauski, Wis- something or other) we were all able to survive. The lecturer devised an ingenious technique to signal the projectionist to advance the slides. Actually, the toy cricket was utilized to keep the captivated audience awake. The course ended with a discussion of the various skin neoplasms. If nothing else, we learned the merits of the use of the curette in dermatological practice. As an extra added attraction, the whys and wherefores of Syphilology were presented. Ah, for that one night with Venus followed by a lifetime with Mercury. Of course, the latter named god has been, replaced by sev- eral courses of penicillin therapy. Then, of course, the examination. It was a game of mix and match, guess and flip, and what do you mean a virus isn ' t a microbe. The guessing game over, we were off to the patients, and recalling the admonition of wet on wet, dry on dry, skin disease would soon be erased as a scourge from the earth. Edwin H.

We learned facts, figures, statistics, and techniques, all of which we knew would come in handy some day. Our ears became trained to pick up almost any- thing; heart sounds by the elusive cardioscopes; bird calls in Hi-Fi via 20th St.; rumors from the first floor, and facts on public relations via airmail . One course in the third year was a real eye-opener — things we learned in grade school as bad classroom habits reappeared — passing notes, passing the buck and starting rumors such as: Go home! Your barn is burn- ing . In several instances in our formative years as stu- dents and in the senior year as Student Physicians , we were driven to many well known sources for in- formation; Cecil Loeb, Page ' s Osteopathy, Who ' s Harrison by Mitchell, Fox Sharf, and S-132. After many hours of intensive classwork and cram- ming and many of us with ischial callouses we slid into the senior year — the long awaited day was here at last — how lucky we thought we were. With many of us observing and absorbing as much as we could on the floors and during informative ward walks which were too numerous to count, others became quite proficient and professional with Uh, Huh; Yes, I see; and Hmmm . Still others were busily engaged in taking blood pressures, drawing blood specimens, doing gastric analyses and making holders for the Lee-White tubes out of cardboard and adhesive tape and then donating them in behalf of the 4B ' s an A . In fact, we became so adept in doing Lee-White ' s Coagulation times (red top method) that these terms became as familiar to us as our first names. Then there was always the indispensible night man with his bag of tricks and blood shot eyes. As the year drew on, each group to pass into the Medical service learned their lessons well ahead of time — this was admirable for it gave them much more time to themselves. William F.

OBS-GYN Since the time of Adam and Eve, new lives have been brought forth into this world. With the age of modern science, the wonders of nature have all but been replaced by lithotomy, instrumentation, episiotomy and repair. To these modem miracles we proceed with pounding hearts, raptures of anticipation, fond hopes and dreams. To prepare for our future in this distinguished service we were subjected to many long and short lec- tures in Obstetrics and Gynecology. We learned such names as: mechanism, conduct, passages, passengers, and P.I.D. There were lectures, lecturers, and the honor system. Ultimately, we became seniors; look out expect- ants, here we come. Our basic training in the Obstetrical sciences came early and late. Not out of Shakespeare, but in stark reality, stepped Lear. The student doc- tors aren ' t ever allowed to do that. Then someone invented the Tocograph, an instrument designed to completely eliminate the obstetrical service from the teaching program. Well we remember the long nights, hands on bellies, waiting patiently for the delivery, • nly to be replaced in the chain of command at scrub time by the student nurse. Scene II — the delivery room, where we find the patient prepared and draped, the anesthetist at her head calling for the fetal heart beat, the attending physician at her perineum, the intern at his side, and the student physician by her good left arm, sphygmomanometer in hand. The sterile field dare not be violated. From be- neath the sterile drapes comes a cry for fundal pressure, and a command for the suction. The baby is born, and finally the extern does something useful. With hands skilled by years of didactic instruction he supports the cord for the Salvatore applying intern. More blood pressures, pulses, uterine massage, and finally student and patient depart for her room. The scene ends with extern thanking the new mother for her many hours company in the labor room. And, as the sun sinks slowly in the West, the extern records the vital statistics in the big book for now and eternity, and trudges off to the next service, sphyg in hand, toward a new and better life.

Through our didactic years we had several courses dealing specifically with the eyes, ears, nose, and throat. We were instructed right off about the various phases of the subject, and were also encouraged to purchase a Bausch Lomb head mirror with a focal length of about 12 inches with absolutely no rubber pad in the head band. We all responded, but oh, how a lack of a little padding can cause so many mental bruises. In Rhinolaryngology we learned about the Key- stone of the Body , The Watchdog of the Nose , The Watchdog of the Larynx , in addition to probing little black boxes, lighting lights and ringing bells. Our pro- fessor could usually be seen standing over us instruct- ing us in proper technique. We were certain, from our limited experience, that he was always right and usually ended by hitting the nail on the head. By the way, nails make miserable coat hangers. Many aspects of the broad field of EENT were covered in addition to some profound statements (i.e.) Doctors are sailing along under ceremony and dignity and robbing the patients of their organs and money . We were told that Anyone doing unnecessary opera- tions should go to jail (directly to jail — do not pass go — do not collect $200.) Many new words and expressions were added to our meager minds; Weber test, Rhinne test, solid gold Cadillacs, Lempert fenestration, otosclerosis, TV causes TB, and many others. After an extensive course in Ophthalmology we entered our fourth and final year where we hoped to apply our hard earned knowledge. In surgery, we as- sisted in tonsillectomies at which time we nearly ex- perienced just what the first stage of anesthesia really felt like — more ether please . Many of us likened our- selves to Samson — retracting pillars. We peered down bronchoscopes and wheeled litters full of whole fam- ilies back to Pediatrics. With four experience filled years behind us and wearing our sweat stained head mirrors and holding our tear filled ophthalmoscopes, we see ourselves enter- ing a world full of chronic tonsils and Streptomycin — Why not!

Our indoctrination began with lec- tures in germ warfare (infectious diseases) by specialist first class Dr. Tom, and care of the new born casually presented by Dr. Sam. Psychological warfare, plumbing diseases, laryngotracheobronchitis and mucoviscidosis followed in the third round of preparation. Having finished the battery of placement examinations we were assigned to these installations for basic training; 48th Street Arsenal (the big house), and 20th Street outpost. Conditions simulating actual combat were designed to acquaint the neophyte warrior in the nature of the enemy on his own home grounds. It was here that we learned to completely evaluate the enemy ' s potential through complete history and physical. After a series of minor skirmishes we emerg- ed; wet, scarred, bitten, bruised, deafened, wiser and victorious. P-day arrived, and with it the holocaust of total war between two determined and dedicated enemies. On one side, Cottrille ' s raiders, armed with the latest equipment; pediatric chest pieces, tongue depressors, diagnostic kits, percussion hammers and umbilical tape. On the other side, the ever increasing army of na-noos, armed naturally with their ever loaded water pistols, lightning fast incisors, and their overwhelming brute strength. The battle began. Our army approached, only to be greeted by a blood curdling battle cry of waaaaa . We attacked boldly, only to be repelled by a constant stream of artillery that infiltrated our ranks to our very skins. We attacked again, and again, and again. Finally, the enemy subdued, tears streaming down his chubby cheeks, thermometer thrust home, we had won the first round. In seeking consultation with the com- mand staff after each encounter, we met with new difficulties. It seemed their critical eyes had evaluated the situation from an entirely different aspect. Our victory, not really secure, required more paper work. In the end, we emerged to be separated, mustered out, and discharged from the struggles of mortal com- bat on the home front and duty overseas. William S. Spaeth D.O., M.Sc., F.A.C.O.P.

NEUROLOGY and PSYCHIATRY O.K. Napoleon, why are you here? To this, he might answer that he is seeking to avoid the humdrum boredoms of the passing parade and join us in that euphoric Utopia wherein we study. Napoleon, take your seat. It was number 18. The study of mental illness began in the first year when a certain four letter word, not especially heard in mixed company, was used t o acquaint us with the vocabulary ' of the mentally deranged. The basic course was designed to prepare us for study of the various schools of psychiatry, ranging from the classical tenets of Freud to the more radical and current concepts of Sky Masterson. Later we learned of the modalities for testing the psyche. Such terms as Bender-Gestalt, Wech- sler-BeUevue, Rorschak, and draw me a picture were introduced into our psyche. A continuous word salad was used to describe the intricacies of Selye ' s general adaptation syndrome, and its importance ih psychiatry. In the meantime, back at the ranch. Long Fred was transforming normal subjects into a group of neu- rotics and psychotics by the stimulus of group therapy, better known as oral quizzing. Having successfully completed the basic studies we were now ready to advance to widening horizons to determine what makes a michegana tick. Through the use of tape recordings gathered around the world, bed- lam descended upon the classroom. We learned to classify mental illness by watching the retrogression of our comrades. Thus, too much noise was made about Noyes , for all we had to do was observe life ' s passing parade and analyze professor ' s motives. The deteriora- tion of our class was exemplified by the art exhibition in which two of our group tied for first place as psy- chotic of the year. Meanwhile, Long Fred left the ranch for greener pastures, never again to give a crazy mixed-up test. The course completed. Napoleon rose, donned cape and sword, tipped his three cornered hat and bid us all folie-a-deux and went to a pyknic . y Cecil Harris D.O., M.Se.. F.A.C.N. Assistant Professor Morton S.

Shh!, here he comes . A young man entered the room in full operating room garb in- cluding gloves, mask, and blood stained gown. In one hand he held a half smoked cigarette. Sorry I ' m late gentlemen , as he paced back and forth across the front of the room, — We just had a tough one . This was our first exposure to surgery and we gazed in amaze- ment — What a strange world this must be. Subsequently we learned such things as diagnosis, treatment, and management of surgical patients includ- ing a post graduate course in surgical knots, similar to that required for Eagle Scouts. One student surgeon didn ' t mind the crowded conditions in the lab, for he could work in all situations. One lab period he said, What, me worry — I ' m ambidextrose . Throughout the third year we were faithfully lec- tured to and quizzed by some of the best. Highlighting the course were lectures on Sudek ' s Atrophy, Cotton ' s Fracture, and Office procedure in Hemi-pelvectomy. A topic of interest whether discussed on the gym floor at the YMCA, at Dewey ' s or at an improvised card table, was Orthopedics — it bore mentioning as one of the third year courses. It ' s in the catalogue. We were now Student Physicians , and as we ap- proached the doors of the operating room we could read — Operating Room — Authorized Personnel Only . We stopped and wondered if we were qualifed? — the question still remains a mystery. After procur- ing a scrub suit we were again ready to take blood pressures and save lives. The first scrub wasn ' t too bad — What the heck, with all the instruction, who could go wrong? We were to learn many varied techniques of holding retractors, and how to stand for hours in one position, however, one of the students insisted on lying down on the job — right on the O.R. floor. The service was concluded by a tour of duty on the surgical floors, during which time we were schooled in pre and post operative care and management. All of this was to prepare us for our future — And I ' m sure it might have done just that. James M. Eaton D.O., M.Sc, F.A.C.O.S., F.A.C O.A.

This unique group, known to the world as radiologists spends a tedious eternity probing the mys- teries of a celluloid sheet. What drives them to the twilight zone where obscure lines, gradient opacities and filling defects tend to change the destinies of man ? Perhaps it starts in fascination with the mysteries of fusion and fission, or even with a determined study of the atomic pile and Einstein ' s theory. Whatever its cause, these disciples of Roentgen are possessed of the very nature of the beast, not resting until each new shadow has been placed into its diagnostic niche. Genesis. In the beginning there was a sun lit room, its very air permeated with the excited expectations and thirst for a glimpse into the celluloid world, created by an atmosphere of wandering deuterons, alpha par- ticles and gamma rays. This environment was soon to be replaced by a room, darkened to whet the imagina- tion and facilitate the wierd images that came from a monstrous and almost human projection device. The overall effect seemed to be that of the lecturer ' s voice emanating from the machine, thus giving it more of a life-like quality. In reality, the stature of the man was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the projecting mon- ster. As time passed, the wall mounted view box, its pearly white face casting an eerie glance at its human audience was put to use. This white face now became a useful all-seeing eye, probing the inner mysteries of the world within the human body. Exodus. Out of the twilight zone we emerged from a penetrating fog into a land of therapeutics. Now we learned of the useful applications of these infinitesmal particles in stamping out benign and malignant disease, in the very habitat of their existence. In the dark confines of the basement establishment, even more im- pressive monsters lurk, ever ready to dispel their potent forces upon man ' s disease racked bodies. Neoplasms melt under their fury. We leave this world of the atom, with only one mystery remaining. What were the X-ray findings? Paul T. Lloyd D.O., M.Sc., D.Sc, F.A.C.O.S.

Lecturer I could get a better tan in Miami PHYSICAL THERAPY Our first course in Physical Therapy was given in our Junior year. During this course we were taken in small groups into the clinic and introduced to the ultra- violet, infra-red, diathermy, spinalator, whirlpool, pul- sating and ultra-sound machines. We were taught how to turn these machines on, how to turn them off, and how to blow out every fuse in the hospital. Who will forget that day when we turned the ultra-sound machine too high and every dog within a four block radius came bounding into the clinic? At this point we felt that we would never be able to operate this intricate machinery with the same savoir-fair that was evident among the Senior Students. As we entered the Clinic Service in our Senior year. Dr. Hayes once again took us in tow and patiently reviewed the operation of this equipment. He has the patience of JOB! Incidentally, in case you don ' t already know. Dr. Hayes is the short, elderly, pleasant-looking man in the Clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday after- noons. He can be seen walking around with his arms full of wires all of which lead nowhere. . In any event, within a few short weeks, and with our patient ' s help i.e. Its too hot! — It ' s too cold! — It ' s too high! — It ' s too low! — It ' s too long! — It ' s too short! , we mastered the diathermy ma- chines. Those patients who required diathermy three times a week had to be watched carefully and basted P R N, The only way we could tell when they were done was to plunge a fork into them. It was suggested to Dr. Hayes that we change the settings on the machine to read: SAUTE, FRY, BAKE, BROIL, CHAR. The spinalator soon became a refuge for tired and worn-out clinic Externs. In fact, after a short period of time, it was affectionately referred to as The Sugal- ator . Our experience in the department of Physical Therapy can be summarized thusly: Our patients need- ed us and we kneaded them. :i Joseph L. Hayes D.O.

Electronic Gem Lesion Detector CLINICAL SERVICES The students time in the clinic is divided between various activities (i.e.) live patients (for a change), faithfully attended caffeine conferences and specialty clinics. Speaking of specialty clinics we have that cigar smoking little Rear Admiral who says Poot yore phinga in dere boy!, What ya feel, ya? or in Ortho- pedics where an orthopod instructs patients with little back aches — get up on your right leg — left leg — on your toes — on your heels — bend forward — bend backward , and they reconunend hospitalization for a lumbar laminectomy and fusion. In allergy clinic a patient is being instructed — I want you to stay away from vulture dander, Gila Monster scales, shark saliva, rooster eggs, tire treads, and injections. The patient replies with a sniff, snuf- fle, cough, scratch; then shot-shot, next patient. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the stu- dent sees his share of little ones, commonly known as Pediatric problems. Some of the boys became so frus- trated that they have tried to weigh a 75 pound patient on a little pediatric scale. One important point the men have learned however, is where to stand when examining a newborn male. The clinic teaches us to cover each other and to carry on a practice, similar to a general type of practice. The mechanics of group practice is adequately master- ed as is verified by the gatherings in the usually empty supervisors office. Some people think that the student has nothing else to do but to cross the street for coffee — but how else is he to get a prescription signed? The squawk boxes always worked overtime, one offering us a Diehl and the other a course in foreign languages. There will be a conference in the conference room immediately, all student physicians please come to the conference room — all students come at once — please come — please.

HOSPITAL SERVICE v:.-.:- The hospital service at PCO consists of a rotating program in which the student receives ample experience and training in Medicine, Obstetrics, emptying litters. Surgery and O. M.T. Each service drags eighteen days, in which time the student has a chance to observe, to observe, and to observe many technical procedures. All that is needed for Pediatrics is patience and more patients. Medicine is covered by rounds, confer- ences, ward walks to the West Spruce Pharmacy, and CPC ' s dealing with text book picture, classical type cases which are always masterfully diagnosed. On the floors there are always many charts and patients to be observed and served- ' Empty my ash tray please. The morning blood pick-ups are likened to a charge of a Bengal Lancer, with his lance ready and raised for action.

FHB. BP, FDLMP, EDD, and then call me — that is obstetrics. The fine points of the conduct of labor are mastered by every senior student because of the many hours of dutiful observation that are applied to each and every obstetrical patient. Clinical patients are handled exclusively by the resident and intern, with the senior student watching. On the first day in the O.K., the senior can always be seen checking the scrub schedule to see if he is to scrub or if he gained second place in preference to Sonny Mahoney. All phases of pre-op and post-op care are covered as well as O.R. techniques. Each surgical case is well integrated to serve as a teaching medium. ATTENTION ALL O. M. T.

RODGERS, President The student council is an organization composed of many members who are elected from each of the four classes. Through these representatives the student body has a voice in matters pertaining to its welfare and activities. It is the express purpose of the council to promote cooperation and harmony among the stu- dents, faculty, and administration. Regular meetings are conducted monthly by the council president, who is elected from the senior class. The council sponsors two dances during the year in addition to the Spring picnic, and also supervises an athletic program consisting of organized leagues com- peting in basketball, golf, bowling and softball. In essence, it is the Student Council which ex- presses itself in matters affecting general student ac- tivities and interests and is the official liaison body between the student body and the administration. CLASS OFFICERS ANTHONY D. LoBIANCO President JOSEPH H. RIDGIK Vice-President JESSIE C. MAURO Secretary JOSEPH V. KOEHLER Treasurer The students arc the most important element in any college. They are the ones who ultimately give the institution its reputation in the eyes of the world and the profes sion, not only while in college, but most important, after graduation. These are the men who will leave with the art of healing at their fingertips and the wisdom of leadership at their command. But leadership in the world begins with leader- ship in the college where there is an assemblage in one place of strangers from all parts of the country. Soon after coming to PCO we elected Tonv LoBianco, Presi- dent of our class: Joe Koehler. Treasurer; and Irwin Pavorsky, Coordinator. During the following years they were joined by George Pappas and Jessie Mauro as Secretaries and Dick Birk and Joe Ridgik as Vice- Presidents. These officers demonstrated their capabilities as leaders and organizers with such vitality and sincerity that the class of 1960 will forever owe them a debt of gratitude. Too often the work of such leaders is over- looked but this team of men and women will long be remembered and always respected by their fellow stu- dents, administration and faculty. It is to them we extend our sincere thanks and best wishes for continued success. Arthur H. Braunwell, Jr. Williard M. Brown, III Donald A. Bruaw Herbert J. Buchalter John H. Buggeln Albert B.

Minissale ... .Collecting Treasurer Peter R. Cimmino Chaplain The Atlas Club was founded in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1898. It is the oldest national osteopathic fraternal organization having a chapter in each of the six osteopathic colleges. It has a Grand Council with its National Headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Styloid Chapter, at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, was founded in 1924 with the objective of exercising fraternal functions and furthering osteopathic education. The brother- hood is proud of the active leadership shown by so many of its members, both as students and as graduate physicians. The group sponsors many educational and social affairs through- out the year both for its brothers and for the rest of the PCO family and friends. While the Grand Council serves as a guiding influence in matters on the national level, the Styloid Chapter is entirely autonomous in the conduction of its affairs and in the selec- tion of its brothers. Atlas club has long been known for its consideration of each student aspiring for membership on an individual and impartial basis. The Iota Tau Sigma Fraternity is the second oldest but the largest Iraternity in the osteopathic profession. It was founded on December 3, 1902. at Kirksville, Missouri: and the Delta Chapter was established at P.C.O. in 1903. The fraternity maintains six chapters, one at each of the osteopathic colleges which are advised by a Supreme Council located in Des Moines. Iowa. A quarterly magazine. The Gozzle iNijiper . is published by the National Council to help co-ordinate the ])rograins of the six chapters. arious social affairs are held througliout the year by the active chapters, and in addition, it features an educational program designed especially to supplement the young physi- cian ' s studies. These programs stress both osteopathic thought and practice in all the fields of medicine. In addition to the above-mentioned activities, there are also projects which are directed toward house improvement and maintenance. An annual senior party, given by the active chapter for its graduating seniors, is held in the spring of each year. Delta Chapter feels that it has contributed much toward the making of a better osteopathic physician, and it is the purpose of the fraternity to continue and to improve in this regard in the future.

Secretary Lambda Omicron Gamma Fraternity and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy share a close affiliation. It was at P. CO. in 19l!4 that a group of undergraduates with conuiion ideals founded the organization which has now grown to national prominence. Caduceus Chapter is well known at the college for its active educational, social and campus participation. Educational sessions highlight the biweekly meetings held at th-e fraternity house located at 46th and Locust Streets. Guest speakers present topics of special interest designed to supple- ment the undergraduate curriculum, and to cover phases in our education that cannot be provided in the classroom. Under- graduate participation in the educational program features panel discussions involving some problem of everyday practice. A suitable prize is presented by the Alumni group to the out- standing panelist. A most important aspect of a fraternit is an active social program. Dances are held at the chapter house at frequent intervals. In addition, the undergraduate membership attends L.O.G- ' s national convention, held this year at Atlantic City ' s Ritz Hotel. The convention featured an educational program, exhibits, meetings, a fabulous dinner dance and the sun and surf. L.O.G. will extend in the future, as it has done in the past, the most in education, friendship and service to its own mem- bers and alumni and to the profession at large. AT MARVIN E. SULTZ PHI SIGMA GAMMA The Phi Sigma Gainnia fraternity was founded in June 1915, in Chicago bv a merger of two cliapters of Phi Omicron Gamma and three chapters of the Phi Sigma Beta. Both of these groups were then national osteopathic fraternities. Zeta Chap- ter at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was organized in September 1917, through the concerted efforts of Dr. Nathaniel Boyd II. and Dr. Rice le Grand Cooper, both of whom were alumni of the Alpha Chapter at Kirksville, Mis- souri. Chapters at each of the six Osteopathic Colleges places Phi Sigma Gamma on a national basis: Alpha Chapter — Kirksville, Missouri; Beta Chapter — Los Angeles, California; Gamma Chapter — Chicago, Illinois; Delta Chapter — Des Moines, Iowa; Epsilon Chapter — Kansas City, Missouri; Zeta Chapter — Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania. Each vear the fraternity sponsors many social and educa- tional activities. Early on the fraternity calendar are the rush- ing functions which are designed to be instructive and enter- taining. The social highlight of the year is the Alumni Ban- quet, held each spring, where alumni and brothers gather to renew old acquaintances and to make new ones. It is the object of Phi Sigma Gamma to perpetuate bonds of fellowship among its active members, alumni and the profes- sion. OFFICERS Paul P. Koro Jr. President H.

The year began with a picnic and tour at Valley Forge. The weekly meetings featured speakers, discussions, movies and studies of the book of St. Luke. Among the speakers were prac- ticing physicians from many nearby communities and admin- istrative personnel of the college. The year was completed with a banquet and a picnic at Saginau Lodge.

At its monthly meetings, attend- ed by students as well as practicing physicians, the programs are directed so that those in attendance might acquire a better understanding of Osteopathic principles, structural diagnosis and the manipulative treatment of such cases. The monthly meetings this year featured such lecturers and demonstrators as Dr. Cathie, Dr. Clyde Dalyrimple and Dr. Paul C. Snyder. This year was again brought to a climax by the annual banquet at which time the new officers were in- stalled and honorary pins were presented to deserving members. Arnold O. Allenius Leonard E.

K The Coordinator The curriculum of every graduate school encompasses a wide variety of courses and form- al lectures. To the conscientious student there stands the Herculean task of recording the spoken word, to be committed to memory, an- alyzed by ones mind, and recorded verbatum later in a blue book. There arose at P. CO. a unique system, dedicated to the abolition of writer ' s cramp and compulsory attendance. Five men made the archaic system or rugged indi- vidualism as obsolete as the Conestoga wagon. The following named individuals are hon- ored here for their distinguished service and sacrifice to our class: The note-taker. He who with unflinching dedication calloused his fingers to record for us and our progeny the elusive tib-bits ran- dondy dispelled in our direction. The typist. He, who with precision, accur- acy and devotion, reproduced the cryptic scrawls of the note-taker. The Ditto machine operator. He who at the risk of traumatic synovitis unflinchingly stood erect at his post throughout the lunch hour and cranked. Honorable mention must be awarded to the individuals responsible for sati- ating the paper and alcohol diet of the ma- chine. The note distributor. He who remembered his obligation to be present. The coordinator. He, who with astounding ability and organization made possible the op- eration of this fantastic scheme. ' After this, we ' ll print the Daily News. SYNAPSIS •S ' T!

At that time the following resolution was made stating the purpose of the organization : ' that it is the sense of this meeting that a society of Student ' s Wives for the good and welfare of tlic Ostco- pathie College of Philadelphia should be form- ed at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy . At this same meeting a committee was appointed to draft a Constitution and By Laws. The Constitution and By-Laws were pre- sented to the group and approved along with the present title of The Osteopathic Student ' s Wives of the Philadelphia College of Osteo- pathy . Along with their own organizational plans, the Student ' s Wives lend a helping to both the Guild and Auxiliary. Each month there is an organizational meeting. At these meetings a guest is usually invited to speak to the group. Some meetings are strictly for socializing such as the informal first party for new wives and the Christmas Party. The wives group also carries on such activities as Bake Sales, Card Parties, Hat Mak- ing, and Candy Selling. The proceeds from these projects are used to purchase some useful articles for the school, thus carrying out our purpose.

With thoughts of clinical work and hospital duties left behind, the P.C.O. family tangos, waltzes, polkas, cha cha chas and frailachs their way through a gala and festive evening. These dances are high points in the aca- demic calendar for everyone. At the tables and on the dance floor, glasses are raised in friend- ship and fellowship, as the inebrients whirl on and on. Finally, to the strains of Good Night Ladies, we are returned again to the work of inspection, palpation, percussion and ausculta- tion. A meeting of the Food and Drink Club. PICNIC The pause thai refreshe Each year, in the Spring, another social extrava- ganza is conducted to relieve the students of their ten- sions. We assemble with girl friends, wives, and chil- dren at a suburban site for the purpose of a day of ball playing, boating, eating and imbibing of the products of the brewer ' s art. The young old men, rusty from months in the lecture halls and laboratories limber their joints and oil their hinges for a soft-ball tournament. Each class selects a group of ten to face its adversary on the field of combat. The winning class has its name etched for posterity on a trophy permanently displayed in the College auditorium. The winning team is not always the one with the most talent, but the one with the most endurance. Frequent time-outs are called, not for the benefit of the contestants, but rather that they might aid in the taxing activities of changing diapers in the great outdoors. Between games, we assemble to share a gala hot- dog and salad feast with the ants. This interlude over, wives and friends are again left to their own devices, while the male demonstrates his animal instincts and courage, by venting his spleen and animosity with bat in hand, against the defenseless sphere. Fortunately for the ball, the swings are more often wild than accurate. Finally, with the sun beginning its descent, and the multitude of youngsters irritated by the lack of an afternoon nap, regular repasts, and frequent diaper changes, the assembly disperses, to assemble again at the College the following day after a long limp home.

Our class numbered ten, but as time marched on, two of our classmates decided to take another turn in the road of life, as they left our class to pursue another venture. Along with our Nursing floor duties, and six-month PGH affiliation, as our class hours decreased, we found time to do some baby- sitting and also to sponsor the annual Graduation Ball at the Bala Country Club. We have gained much knowledge, met many people, and have seen many changes as we walk the halls of PCO .

We had classes at 48th Street Monday and Thursday, the remainder of our classes being held at North Center Nurses Home classroom. We received many books, met instructors and studied. Our big sisters helped us build and strengthen our morale when we were blue. Then we had a two-week Christmas vacation, losing four more of our class- mates. Our uniforms were not used as much when our class schedule was heavy, but now it is March and we are to receive our caps — Glorious Day — Probie Days are over, we are becoming Nurses, our duty hours increase as does our knowl- edge of nursing abilities in this our first year of Nurses Train- ing. 147 ill!

In order to learn how drugs affect this internal clock, SK F scientists use a test in which a monkey must hit a lever after an interval of 20 seconds to obtain food. When he is under the influence of certain drugs, time flies and he misses the pay-off period by hitting the lever too late. Other drugs make time drag and he misses the pay-off period by hitting the lever too soon. Because one of the characteristics of many mental disorders is a distor tion of the time sense, observing how drugs affect this primary psychological process may reveal valuable in- formation that will help SK F scientists in dis- covering effective treatments for rhentai illness.
