EDITOR S MESSAGE Here at P.C.P.M. wc have accomplished many things. We have studied hard and long, learning not only how to visualize and digest information but how to translate these ideas into action. Along with this we learned that our hands could do more complex tasks, than the more simples ones we have done our whole lives. Everyday we have been encouraged to participate, to do and learn as much instead of as little as possible. P.C.P.M. has always accented the importance of the individual moving towards full productive capacity in the service of fellow man. Most important of all we have learned the values of giving as well as taking. For this wc can only thank our professors and all their associates. Thus, we are now the proud standard bearers of Podiatric Medicine. We shall accept the responsibility with vigor and excitement and attempt to raise it to even higher standards. Yet. we realize our youth and its limitations. and the fact that medicine is a never ending educational process. We therefore pledge ourselves to strive towards a goal of responsible productivity guided by the rule to use the most plus and the least minus. 10

CLASS HISTORY by Harris Klcar and Jay Schnitzer There it was, September 1967 and there were Forty-Five sparkling individuals joined together to form the fifth graduating class of P.C.P.M We all had one goal in mind (well, some of us had others) and that was to graduate with the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Unfortunately, not everyone was destined to succeed and there were casualties early in the long hard path. This brief monologue will attempt to bring back some of those fond memories. Three fingers in the air , and Pavlov in his grave would have gotten ready for a quiz in Anatomy The conditioned reflex was created and it would follow us all the wuy to the fourth year. Frustration, fear and anxiety ruled the year, yet there were the few who always broke the curve. Mike Litman was still used to the pressures of Comparative Anatomy in college and quickly identified the Chicken's Tibia in a snap quiz in dissection lab Monday mornings (The Happy Hour) were occupied by Doctor DiPrimio and his funny little quizzes Between a couple of floods and a bribe for Monte Carlo night we were lucky to miss the Happy Houru few times during the year. Bread and Tissssu” were the words we heard in Physiology and for some of us it took half of the year to realize their true meaning. We all realized that we should have taken that correspondence course in Japanese. Dr Yoh was very fond of animal experimentation, especially with Rabbits, however Dr Abramson was not happy to find out that his favorite bunny had seen its last F.astcr Histology. Embryology and Biochemistry Lab. were all taught by Howard (memorize Arey’s) Pitkow w ho must have taken some kind of speed reading course We had the fastest embryo slide test in history Biochemistry was taught by an ingenious Britisher. Dr. Sheff If anybody needed information about anything he was sure to have the answer. Just give him some corn shavings. Husk ointment and iron filings and he could make a nutritious diet for a South American AArdvark Harris Klcar enjoyed Biochemistry so much (due to his previous pharmacy experience) that he mistook some acid for mouthwash. Such a hot drink, he had! P S. does anybody know how to bandage a tongue? Springtime arrived and to all of PC PM that meant the Spring Dance This was to be one event which our clas-» would gladly support the entire four years at school. (Believe it or not. no complaints) At this first dance who can forget Larry Kauffman twisting his ankle Quick, is there a Doctor in the house Now its the middle of the first year finals and Stu Tcssler kept wearing his flaky Avis button we try harder The trivia question of the year as well as the saying of the year were contributed by Dave Bartos They were, which college did Dave attend ? and his famous description of the Dean's attitude towards us “why you know that we're on your side (three fingers in the air). Gary Almas was a part time student that year commuting between classes here and Spanish mandolin lessons in New York The second year was filled with all kinds of goodies and every day really kept us so busy Stan Katz, the honorary theologian of live class took all the Friday afternoon courses (by virtue of an honorary grunt given by his Temple) at the Friday evening services. Dr Abramson enter stage left with a cast of thousands Staph, Strepp. E. Coli. Proteus, 7 B. etc. and we sort of got the impression that the guy was going to dominate the year W ho can forget the pure joy ol a Mycology exam, or the excitement of picking up a thirty-seven page exam book? (just the questions). W c were not exactly ungrateful however, especially as Burt Kaizen in a tear-jerker ceremony presented him with a book he always wanted. The book was titled Tsu Tsu Gamushi for fun and profit The shoe therapy course was taught by Dr Feldman and one individual received one of the biggest assignments ever. Harold Glickman was instructed to skive the entire Fast Coast and right now he is down in Georgia doing his thing At the awards banquet he received both the Yoh-Skivc citation as well as the coveted Anton Nutraderm Skive awards Certain Doctors can have great influences on people Our class saw its prime example in Dr Kraus' lesson to Mark Julsrud. The good Doctor showed our boy all that he knows maybe Mark will be called in on a consult for an emergency nail procedure at the Mayo Clinic Some courses never made it off the ground Who had that great calling card the elevation of the lowly corn' rt Daviv belter known as A DD was really eager to learn all about skin conditions (as well us flicks) and had a vast research library on the subject. Dr. Schutta covered many topics such as Spina Bifida. Peripheral neuropathies. Wernicke's encephalopathy and rocking horse manure Dr Ganiev promised everyone a trip to Maryland logo Deer hunting what happened' The second year was also the year of the moustache with John Hodges, Harold Glickman. Steve Moss. Lee Loviiz. and Harry Papa ian growing the fuzz and at the same time singing in a barbershop quintet Then there was Carmen Fd Sullivan Martina with hiv expression “really bcccg shew . Every time Carmen told his jokes his hair got higher and higher Summer clinic started and many if not all had oscillatory hands when they saw their first patients Sometimes the clinic volume got so slow that Rip Van Klcar found himself with another day of summer vacation. The new dress code for clinic presented certain problems for Mark Julsrud with his long sideburns. Amedeo Forluna blew everyone's mind with white bell bottoms. The “Best Liked by The Clinicians Award was given to two people that year. Both Ray Doyen (now Dow cn) and Burt Kaizen got the coveted awards. Dr. Hirt can always be found in the clime behind Levoy’s 100.000 practice book. Stan Karpo got on the inside track in the O.R Working there helped him get an honorary position on the surgical staff at school Stan also practices medicine at the accident ward at Rolling Hill Hospital. Another student. Guido LaPorta was greatly influenced by Dr. Hlavacand is following in his footsteps (forefoot varus). California Dreaming! The third year also introduced us to Dr. (low six figure) Hymes in Orthodigita. All that's needed tocorrect any fool pathology is one broken bra strap, a paper clipanda 1964 Chevy emblem along with Lithe panther-like movements. Children can be fun with Dr Rubin was an interesting course, and just like Dr Brachman there were no failures. Dermatology presented itself as a challenge, especially for those w ho didn’t have a positive KOH Little did we know until the spring dance that Dr. Shrager owns his own Bentley. Everyone will long remember Jay Schnitzer s Dermatology study guide. If it has to be written. Jay will do it You can be sure that when there is any demonstration to take place the big boys up front policy will be enforced by Gary Sherman (tank)and Mike (pretty boy) McDonough Dr. Daniels and Viner taught an excellent Internal Medicine which was so enthusiastically received that Armc (Mr Fixit) Karpo developed Tophi, and John Orlando hypoglycemia If any one has any complaints about either the instruments or the finances of the yearbook, they can check with Myron (Zclmo) Bernstein. Myron intends to open up his ow n Podiatry supply house in the near future Anthony Costa happened to be the only normal in Dr Rudnick’v Psychiatry class. Can the test be false? Larry Levine sat in on the admissions committee, and his influence can be seen in the rise in female students in the school's first year class The fourth year finally rolled around. It was time to go to allied facilities in the Delaware Valley. It should have said in the school's catalogue that a car is necessary in the fourth year Ah. the joys of the trip ride to South Mountain, the sights and sound of Pennhurst. the excitement of St. Ignatius' Mark Shangold and Dave Bartos made their claim to lame in the moulded shoe business we hope that Mark's sheepdog has a pair. Steve (Iron) Mills and his blue Mach I can always be seen zipping around the halls at P.C.P M Did you know that one-fourth of the Podiatry profession is related to Steve Bill Rutherford has by far been the most popular man in clinic with more brothers than anyone Every Christmas he always gets into the Christmas spirits along with his patients. Well its a funny feeling to finally be on our ow n. yet there is a feeling of satisfaction w hich can be described as accomplishment o more quizzes, tests, reports or lecture notebooks those are perhaps the most gratifying things. Sincerely Harris and Jay 9
