ODE TO THE CLASS OF 72 I‘d like to present, without much ado This ode to the class of 72. It makes fun of me. the staff, and you The survivors of His to and the Hong Kong flu. In orientation week. I’m sure you’ll agree. That in all that talking you didn’t foresee That your first week of study would set the mode Of being hopelessly buried and completely snowed. Bates lectured to you in Room 603 Covered adequately in an hour, or three. Each presentation leaving him hoarse, While he tried to cram in the rest of the course. Sodicoff held you in the palm of his hand As he showed you slides of the mammary gland. But you never quite met Marvin eye-to-eye ‘Cause you kept glancing down at his name on his tie. Davidhciser’s weekly evening reviews Made some S’s out of U’s, And he gave you the liver so you’d all sec That some gall’s confined to canaliculi. Phillips gave you all the dope About gigantic structures in the E M scope That reverted to angstroms instead of miles And all of them called by the name “profiles.” Truex lectures, were in the main. Particularly devoted to the brain. He acted the lesions and shimmied and shook - ; Showing all of those things you can’t find in his nook. Crouse lead you on a merry chase IF As he partitioned the heart and developed the face And right after lunch, when you all did glut, He twisted and turned your developing gut. Rodriguez would never falter and never balk At filling the balckboard with colored chalk And his exam page did elicit some fears Of being awared a “U”, instead of two ears. Schncck handed out millions of mimeo sheets. Then gathered you in groups in 603 seats. He taught you how to apply all this stuff About what muscles you use when you sit on your duff. Pratt gave you all of the pertinent points Of ‘what’s in the orbit and the ‘mechanics of joints.’ And often in the lab. when he was missed. You’d find him teaching the therapist. Daddy Huber’s presentations you could hear and see In his audio-visual L. G. P. His pulmonary segments were a particular rage; Expect to find them on the next picture page. Trover’s lectures were a particular shock He always kept talking, never looked at the clock. His lecture on fertilization made students become quiet ‘Cause by the time he was finished they were too old to try it.
