Editors Message Four years in pursuit of goals common to all and unique to each, have left a collage of memories in our minds. Hope, despair, play, work, joy, tears, failures, and successes have contributed to the experience of an upward climb. We have climbed our mountains. The adversity, opposition and challenge have brought us treasures of knowledge, growth, opportunity, and most important, friendships. To those friends we dedicate this yearbook with the hope that the future will bring continued friendship, success, and mountains to climb. Mountains viewed from a distance seem to be unscalable, but they can be climbed, and the way to begin is to take the first upward step. From that moment the mountains are less high. The slopes that seem so steep from a distance seem to level off as we near them. —- Author Unknown Editors Photography James S.

In September of ’75, the Class of 79 entered PCPM with high hopes and 1457 days to go. The first two days were spent in orientation. Orientation, from the sixth floor’s viewpoint was easy - just photograph us, number us, and lecture to us. For us, things were more difficult. We had dialects of English ranging from Bostonian to Ghanese to contend with and sometimes we needed interpreters to talk to each other. The feeling we received from orientation however did not need any interpretation. It was obvious orientation was the calm before four wild and crazy years at PCPM. Our first day of class began as every first day of class had since kindergarten -except here we wore white jackets over our new clothes and would be sent to CAPS instead of the principal if we misbehaved. Dr. Turnquist would proceed with a high pitched presentation of anatomy as seen by Woodburne. It took Stan’s Notes, Stan’s numerous clarifications and about half a dozen other anatomy books to give us a fighting chance with Dr. Turnquist’s fill-in tests. Histology introduced us to binocular microscopes and Dr. Conway. Dr. Conway in turn introduced us to learning obscure italicized words in Leeson and Leeson, and flunking practicals. We do owe Dr. Conway thanks for diagnosing our malady as undergraduate amnesia and for holding his slide conferences in the dark.
