tl or myse,f ' s,ar,cd the day of orientation. As I pulled up my car, loaded to the top, an angry Bill Bowman told me that c°uldn’t use the lot to park my car. How silly of me! That man never got any nicer, did he? Those of us who I lived next door saw our spacious apartments, replete with the best furniture money can buy. We later found out that I these apartments came equipped with timely firedrills. l ater, all 12S of us met the faculty and administration. We were informed that we were the best class to date and that we I would do just fine. That theme kept repeating and repeating. We saw a movie about Philadelphia and all the great places to I see. But, they never told us that we would not have the time. After orientation, we had a weekend to go home ... most of us returned. Someone new entered the class of 1980 a half I hour before classes started, and we immediately elected him temporary class president. We should have taken that as an omen. The first day. Dr. Sartor came down to smile at us, and Dr. Bates met us and established the extremely close relationship I we've always had with him. Dr. Gibley then told us that the fun and games were over. Fun, yes. The games? Well, they never I really stopped, did they? Classes started with the Nucleus Ambiguous, which set the tone for Neuro. We went from the Sylvian fissure to the temporal gyrus of Hirschl, and the Neuro Kxpress made no stops in between. Before we knew it, she had covered neuroembryology, neurohistology, and had caused many neuroses. When someone asked what she had said, we heard those immortal words, “Look it up in Barr”. We all felt like going to a bar. 1 J

 I ragga nd in addition to Neuro, we obviously must take Gross Anatomy. In lab we were exposed to a new perfume, Eau de Mrg] ’orma dch dc- Did 1 say perfume? I meant toilet water. ™ The remainder of the week had variety. To Embryology we all brought highlighters to underline as we heard selected readings. Marv Jacoby told us if we could add 2 + 2, we were excused from the first 6 classes. I’ll bet all our folks were impressed by that! On Wednesday mornings, it was the dynamic duo of Lyons and Shapiro. Did you know that they I saw 176 patients a day — most of them contessas and ambassadors? Then came Friday and Dr. Conway. He gave us his slide show and answered our most pressing question. We now knew where we could make up all the sleep we missed while :----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- n three weeks came the first set of exams. It seemed like Pearl Harbor all over. After the three big exams, everyone lif$ wanted t0 kn w two things — Who is 0300 and who is 7262? By the end of year, 0300 was gone while 7262 was 1. Mid-trimester brought us the famous 5 exams in 2 weeks, which turned out to be an endurance test. After those, we all said to our alarm clocks, “Wake me up the night before our next test”. Finals came and took a heavy toll. Enrollment in Charles Gibley’s summer camp would be high! Since our temporary class president wasn’t doing so well, he stepped down from office. This big guy got up and proclaimed, “Vote for me”! Who could argue? Enter President Muchen.
