J U M I O R ( I A September 29. 1937. was a date of special significance to some seventy-five men and women who were selected to comprise the freshman class of the Temple University School of Chiropody. These students coming from various states in the Union, were to find companionship and fraternalism which would be strongly bonded in the ensuing four years. The first meeting of our class was graced with welcoming speeches from our Dean, Dr. Willoughby, and our class adviser. Dr. Eby. As the scholastic programs were launched, the enthusiastic freshmen soon became acclimated to their curricular activities as well as to the annual pranks of the upper classmen. After weathering quarterly and midyear examinations, we had our first social function, the Chiropody Formal, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The affair was a well rounded success. Thus we took off the yoke of obscurity and in the spirit of equality and fraternalism clasped hands with our upper classmen. Soon the smiles faded slightly as preparations for the final examinations overcame us. The attitude was not of doubt, but of anticipation and anxiety. After the finals we disbanded, hoping to see everyone return for the new semester. On September 28, 1938, we were surpris-edly shocked to see the smaller number of students returning to school, but fate must have its way. After congratulating one another upon returning, we all set to the task of conquering that much discussed course, anatomy. Dr. Stirling, being a strong advocate of ' spare the rod and spoil the child,” has been a strong influence on any and all the spoiled'' characteristics that the class of 41 has had. After midyear examinations our annual social was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel with the swing lyrics of Alex Bartha putting us in the groove, so to speak. Everything was a rosy pathway thereafter, but there still remained a few thorns to heckle us. Again we prepared for the final examinations; took them; and then were homeward bound praying and hoping all the while for a thick, heavy envelope borne by Uncle Sam's mes- S S H 1ST 0 R V senger in gray. This is Mrs. Moore’s quaint method of informing us as to whether we passed or . . . As sophisticated a Junior group as could be imagined gathered together on the morning of September 27, 1939, in our much discussed new headquarters to climb another rung in the School of Chiropody. We, as a class, must pay Dr. Willoughby and the faculty our highest tribute for their splendid and untiring effort and accomplishment in obtaining these new quarters. Every prospective chiropodist in the class of 1941 looked forward with great enthusiasm to the forthcoming term because they would now learn the more important practical side of the course. Dissection, as was to be expected, proved an invaluable experience to everyone in the class. We actually saw the complicated mechanism of the pedal extremities and may this experience forever stay within us. Since this is being written before the final examinations, the results and expectations cannot be recorded here but we can safely say that those who do not pass will of a certainty fail. No class history can be complete without recalling incidents that occurred during the year, so let us recapitulate a bit: Remember our class meetings . . . our arguments about dues . . . Goltz psychologically speaking . . . the Balin's perfect dissection . . . Centrella interpreting the Italian language for several clinicians . . . Hymes having shooting pains, bang, bang, bang . . . Schiller pulling for the class . . . Schneyer riding Hubby . . . Reale beating out a rhythm . . . Concino reaching for a towel in clinic . . . Shea worrying . . . Luken's ticklish rib . . . Bleshman quoting volumes . . . etc.? And so the best Junior class offers its heartiest wishes to the best Senior class for continued success and happiness. And when this class history is again written, ours will be the Senior student body and we will endeavor to carry on and maintain the dignity and decorum befitting the University and the Profession. 37 JOSEPH A.
