THE CAP Toward the end ot our probie period, things seemed bleak. The finals seemed endless and the tension was climbing, Will I pass? What will I do il I don ' t pass? Then suddenly one Friday after- noon we found ourselves in the chapel wearing a precious organdy bonnet— Cap- ping, which had seemed so remote, and come upon us so suddenly that the pass- ing of the FfRST great milestone had an air of unreality. This experience is one of the most precious we have. 10

Dr. Roskelley ' s blood dyscrasias were baffling, and Dr. Hedblom always knew just which c[irjstions to ask— the ones we couldn ' t answer! Dr. Meredith, in his pleasant cjuiet way, did his best to help us assimilate the details about heart diseases. A direct deviation from all this was chorus with Mr. Walsh which we fooked forward to each Monday after- noon.
