Physical, mental and emotional changes. Changes for the better and worse. These were times of happiness, sadness laughter, tears, worries, parties, too much styding, too little sleep. But it was a dynamic time of our lives. And, in a funny sort of way it was exciting. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of times that we were ready to quit, questioning the worth of it all. But at this point in time, we realize that the sacrifice was worth it. Nevertheless, we are different people. None of us could possibly experience these past four years without changing. Slowly, we evolved through this experience into what we are today. And what we are today is what we will take with us into our professional careers. Hopefully, at this point the change that has occurred in us will enable us to be good at what we do; but most importantly, happy with what we do and what we are. - 1 My congratulations to the Class of 1981 on your graduation which signifies a major accomplishment. As students you were professionals during a time when professionalism may be becoming obsolete. For centuries, the word professional has been used to describe the health care provider. Many definitions have been used and many disagreements have arisen in defining the word. Can anyone disagree that professionalism is a demanding code of behavior practiced by a group of individuals? It requires their unswerving commitment to ever expanding excellence in learning and knowledge applied to their area of expertise. It is a deep devotion to noble ideals, to service, and involves personal sacrifice. Professionalism involves an attitudinal ambience in the way one lives which is the antithesis of the entrepreneurer. It is controlled by enduring values which are human, social and ethical in their context. When you are a true professional you will have self esteem, self restraint and self realization. You have been professionals as students and I am confident you will conduct yourselves similarly during your careers. The profession of Podiatric Medicine has earned and achieved status as primary care providers in the past several decades. During your career, as a professional, you must continue and improve upon these achievements. The keystone to that objective is professionalism. Never forget, all of us at the College will be most proud of your achievements. Best wishes for a rewarding and happy career in 4 Congratulation to each member of the class of 1981 a you graduate with the degree. Doctor of Podtatric Medicine The struggles over the last four years have finally earned dividends Those years will continue to Impact on each of you as you establish yourselves as health care practitioners The achievements, failure , and disappointments have supplied each of you with the background and experience necessary for success as a member of the health core delivery system. Your life has changed significantly; you have Influenced each other, and the College ha improved Its programs because of your contributions The health care delivery system will change drastically over the next two decades. Podiatric medicine faces different challenges than the other medi cal disciplines We are the only health care profession whose members will be In short supply The Federal Government predicts an excess of physi clans, dentists, optometrists and osteopaths, but a severe shortage of podiatrists in the 1990s Each member of the class of 1981 will have to help shoulder that burden to assure that the American people receive the quality footcare they seek. Because of the ocute shortage, each of you will have a unique opportunity to expand your own horizons as well as those of the profession We enjoyed sharing these four years with you. and hope that you will always use the College as the professional resource you will need in private practice Continuing educational programs, clinical research, and the li brary resources of the College will always be available to you. We hope that you will establish a cooperative relationship with the college, with your classmates and your colleagues. This profession has reached new heights in the last twenty years because of those who have gone before us Let us consolidate our efforts so that those who follow us can reach even greater heights On behalf of the faculty, let me formally welcome you Into the profession of podiatric medicine Sincerely. CfaJn Charles W Glbley. Jr.. Ph D. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean On behalf of the Student Affairs staff. I extend our most sincere congratula tions for your achievements of the past four years. Those years have been filled with hard work, dedication, and commitment, as well as frustration, fatigue, and finally, a sense of accomplishment The future looks exceedingly bright because you are our future. The faculty and staff who have invested the sharing of their wisdom and experience in you hold high expectations that you will indeed, surpass whatever has already been achieved As you approach the beginnings of your careers, you now have achieved the rights as professionals. Along with these rights go awesome responsibilities to extend your talents and total service We are proud of you and of the quality ideals for which you stand To paraphrase the prophet. Gibran, you dwell in the house of tomorrow and as living arrows are sent forth. May you go swiftly and far. Best wishes for your continued success Janice A Hoffer Vice President for Student Affairs History (What, No Physical?) Author's Note My Dear Colleagues, I do not know why I feel compelled to inform you as to what follows. We all experienced these events together. I mean, we were all there weren't we? I tend to distrust rememberances of things past (Sorry, Proust). Petty annoyances are pictured as major. Major problems are dwarfed. Even good times (we did have some) are exaggerated. So this writing will not be a diary. Nothing retrospective can be. Rather, what follows is a verbal crate of our last four years together. Like cleaning out your desk and finding scraps of the past. Within, you 'll find our triumphs and tragedies. Our moments of wit and our moments of what? (This is beginning to sound like a TIME magazine commercial.) Please do not take this writing too seriously-an intent to offend is not ... well ... intended. Indeed, take what is written on the pages that follow in the spirit in which it was composed-malicious. Actually, satire provides a good mirror to our past (boy, did I put my foot into it!). And so, before you begin with the silliness that follows, I would like to impart one last bit of moralistic sermonizing. You'll have to excuse its sobering tone, but I believe its message is too important for us to ignore: Always remember fellow Doctors, you are worth the same $2.80 in chemicals that those seeking your help are worth. Okay people- enough of this nonsense. Sit down with some close friends, make yourself comfy, and read on. Then- break out the champagne; congratulations- we made it! The Class Of 1981 Who We Are, What We Are. Why We Are (or. How we learned to be Doctors of Podiatric Medicine and still maintain a modicum of sanity.) DATELINE: Philadelphia. September 3, 1977. One hundred and twenty eight of us begin our journey. Our four year mission: to seek out new treatments and new populations; to boldly go where no podiatrist has gone before .... One-hundred and twenty-six of us begin classes four days later. Supposedly, one of the two early casualties vanished because of 'something' in the Anatomy lab. Spooky, isn’t it? .... Gourmet Cuisine Dept: Who can forget the lovely luncheon prepared for us on our first orientation day? Is it masochistic to remember it? Let it be noted that chicken has seen finer hours. And who can remember what we were served on orientation day number two? If you can, please write it in the provided space. I cannot Blue Ribbon Vending certainly contributed to our appetites. If you didn’t lose your appetite while losing your quarters, then it was lost for a week following digestion of their goodies. Well, at least the machines ate well. Coffee was a mainstay of our PCPM diet. Just ask Sheldon Goldberg. To him, a day without twenty-seven cups of coffee was like a day without sunshine. The beverage played such an important role in the life of the average PCPM student, that rumor had it Mrs. Olsen was offered a faculty position. CLASS STRUGGLE DEPT THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY - ROUND ONE “Good evening everyone. I’m Howard Cosell. And we are here tonight at the Caesar’s Palace of the east-PCPM. Tonight, a true battle of the heavyweights. In the far corner, weighing in at 17,000 pounds, and wearing meconium green trunks, the Class of 1981. And in the other corner, weighing 18,000 pounds and in the Betadine red trunks, the PCPM faculty. There is every reason to believe, dear viewers, that this will be a battle to end all battles. A match of not only brawn, but of wits. What is your assessment, Muhammed Ali? Sorry, Howard, you know I can’t give an assessment without first presenting subjective and objective Findings. “ Right you are. Ali. Well, we don’t have time for your ludicrous remarks anyway, because the referee, known only as CASPR. has just entered the ring and is explaining the ground rules of the fight to our pugilistic groups. The fight tonight is brought to you by Langer Labs makers of fine orthotics for every known physical activity. One of their newer products this year is the whore-thotic , for the ladies-of-the-evening with forefoot varus ... Okay everybody, the battle is about to begin_” • BONG • FOOT HEALTH CENTER located on race street ■ Our first year of classes consisted of a curious mix of anatomy, cheerleading, and an ensemble of instructors that could have been Disney characters. We had instructors with Munchkin voices and Svengali beards (Never-never look directly into Dr. Hirsch’s eyes). There were wisecracking Embryology professors and sage lower extremity anatomy professors with initials for first names. We had absent-minded professors that would put Fred MacMurray to shame. We sat through male lecturers, female lecturers, and lecturers we were never too sure of. And outside of learning never to give thyroid to an Addison (or is it the other way around?), we learned enough to get us good scores in the boards, to embarrass Med students during our externships, and to actually like eating hot dogs ... And the Xerox machine broke down .... The cheerleading was provided by two podiatrists from Washington. On Wednesday mornings we listened as one of the two told us stories he wouldn’t tell his Psychiatrist; or we heard from Podiatry's answer to Mitch Miller. So it goes .... We worked hard during that first year. It wasn’t easy to shake that smell of Anatomy lab. But like good boys and girls, we learned our Anatomy, our histology, our neuroanatomy (isn't the ego lateral to the Foramen of Lushka?’’), our biochemistry, and despite all odds, our physiology. We memorized everything we never wanted to know about physics (of the bio kind), and had our first exposure to the word-coined biomechanics of Dr. Whitney and the fashion-world mechanics of Dr. Schoenhaus. (Is it really true he has designer genes?). What we really needed were more breaks. Once an hour was not enough. • BONG What a round that was, Ali. Both sides started out with minor punches and weak jabs, and then, midway, they began with their heavy-duty stuff. But for every roundhouse punch dished out by the Faculty, the Class of 1981 rebounded eloquently! Yes, Howard. It makes you wonder what sort of medication the Class was taking to allow them to handle such abuse.” I don’t think it was medication so much as it was the desire to make it to round two. The old, ’fight for survival’ bit, eh Champ?” You might say that. I just did, Ali. DON'T MAKE AIR WAVES DEPT. Our generation, short of being war babies, was weaned on television. Much of our life, though we deny it at times, was strongly influenced by the programs on the box (just ask Marshall McLuhan). As a service to the class - here are some of the TV programs we missed while we were studying so hard during our first year. Mow, you'll understand why A.B. and N.B. see B.S. MR. DEAD- A new comedy series about a first year medical student who is assigned a talking cadaver. MATRIX- Mike Connors stars in his new detective story as an insurance investigator who helps people find lost limbs. MAILSMOKE- The season's only Western. This show deals with a cowboy named Onycho Masterson who treats horses for congenital talipes equinus. Raymond Barrel Burr stars. AIKEM IS ENOUGH- The new warm family series about a typical surburban family that always has multiple foot surgeries together. P A S H- A big hit. This is an excellent new show about emergency podiatrists stationed on the front line during the construction of the commuter tunnel. The superb cast includes Alan Alda as the irreverant Benjamin Franklin Porce, known to his friends as Clavi”; Wayne Rodgers as his bunk-mate Skin-Flapper John; Jamie Farr as the riotous, loony Klinger who bucks for discharge by wearing nothing but surgical gauze; and Gary Burghoff as Doppler. CLASS STRUGGLE DEPT II ROUND TWO We are back folks, for the second round of this outstanding bout that my colleague, Muhammed Ali, has nicknamed. The Thrilly in Philly.” The combatants have been resting in their respective corners for three months and are itching to get going again.” I don’t know Howard. Maybe it's because they've tasted that microwave popcorn. Well, whatever it was Ali. this great battle is about to resume.” BOMG • We all had hopes for the new school year. It started off on a nice note- at least weatherwise. The scorching humidity of the weeks before simmered down to a pleasantly cool first week of September. The comfortably crisp weather of October was not far away. The Phillies were in first place heading for the playoffs and there were signs of a good year for the Eagles and the Sixers. What a shame we were not a Philadelphia sports team. Medically speaking, in the first year we learned the way things should be. This year, we were to learn the way they shouldn't be. Everything you would ever want to know about medical pathologies was to be taught to us! Sort of a Medical Murphy's law. It was an exciting year of physiological wrongness. From the millions of pathogens in Microbiology, to the millions of syndromes in Pathology, to the billions of obscure disease names in Podiatric Pathology. The students who did well in these courses were given honorary Magna Cum Laudes from Harry Lorayne’s Memory School ... And the Xerox machine was still broken---- We ambled through courses about bacteria with the minds of men , and sat through some lectures given by men with the minds of bacteria. But we did learn .... Microbiology was a good course, where thousands of instructors taught us about just as m ny infectious diseases. At times it was tough and frustrating. We felt all those rods were shafting us. At times, it was challenging- like learning to say Bohdan Terleckyj correctly (let alone to Spell it). But, like good broad spectrum antibiotics, we conquered those bugs. Pathomechanics was a lesson in name calling, silly banter, and abnormal foot function. The course was a Root awakening- but through all that torque, we discovered that there wasn’t an anomaly in nature that could not be treated with orthotics. In that course we also learned that Manny Alete had a sharp wit, John Dahdah could take a joke, and that Eliot Wolf was a great impressionist. We also discovered that Dr. Schoenhaus was as good a teacher as he was a dresser. In pharmacology, we learned our drugs and wondered which instructors were taking which ones. We already knew which drugs we would have liked some of the instructors to take. The Musketeers of the Clinical Podiatry seminars gave us a macroscopic look at our profession, and Dr. Lemont gave us a microscopic look (for everyone who ever wanted to look at a callus under a microscope.) We had our first taste of surgery from a chain smoking, hacking, general surgeon who used to beep during his lectures, and from a note-happy PCPM surgery department. A nice, General-like OR lady taught us everything else we needed to know about surgery- like how to put a glove on, how to dress in paper clothing, and how to wash our hands to get rid of cartoon germs. The rest of the time was punctuated with a walking encyclopedia of nail diseases, a radiologist with a spinning bow-tie, a pathologist who knew us only by our footgear, and two well read podiatric roentgenologists, one of whom had an unpronounceable last name. At the end of the academic year, we were all tired, burnt out and still haunted by the assumed horrors of the Qualifying exam. (What pad would you like to make? Gh .. a note pad? ) To make matters worse, we were all afraid to look ahead to the summer which meant clinic (You mean we have to treat these people-alone?! ) and the new disaster movie from ETS: National Boards — I. OH nooo ... BONG • What an exhilarating second round. Breathtaking and diverse. It seemed like the Faculty had the Class on the ropes .... On the bottle, Howard. It was like your old Rope a Dope technique, Champ, except it appeared that the Faculty did it better. But the Class of 1981 never did succumb to the pressure. They have a shot at winning this classic. What do you think, Ali? I’m getting sick of you, Cosell. SUMMER RERUNS DEPT. More missed television shows. DEBRIDING FOR DOLLARS- The only game show to be seen in prime time this year. Third year podiatry students win money by debriding neuropathic feet while blindfolded. THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DIS-KNEE- The premiere show presents the classic Film. -The Mark of Sore-O . Buster Kwell Crabbe stars as a podiatry student with a short fuse and dull blades who gets a kick out of challenging his patients to duels with Hyphercators at twenty paces. 60 MINUTES- Weekly news program about students waiting for clinicians' signatures. HUSK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY- Science-fiction series about an astronaut, who in 1985 takes a tour of a Maxim factory, slips and tumbles into a processor where he is Freeze-dried. Five hundred years later, he is revived and finds himself on a planet of ointment worshippers where he becomes king. STEDMAN TURNS IN HIS GRAVE DEPT. Despite the fact that we heard the word “Surgerize every other hour, be it known - there is no such word. Keeping in this saphenous vein, here are some more words that are commonly misconstrued. ANATOMY- Surgical procedure for the removal of gnats. KENELOG- A diary kept in a dog hospital. GOAT- Gout in Canada. P.V.D.- A communicable disease of small, green, round vegetables HELOMA- How you greet your mother on the telephone BREAD- What the Japanese patient did when he was debrided. PODIATRY- A shrub from which you pick podias. NOTES TO YOU DEPT. ... MEMO TO DR. V. MANDRACCHIA .. . You continuously mentioned how you wanted to be remembered in our yearbook as the man who could not pronounce MOLYBDENUM . You always said, I can see it now. 'Mandracchia can't say Molybdenum. Mandracchia can’t say Molybdenum.' Well, sorry Dr. M., we will not stoop to that level of suggestion by mentioning even once that you cannot pronounce Molybdenum. CLASS STRUGGLE DEPT. Ill ROUND THREE Welcome back to the arena, folks, for the third round of this marvelously dramatic altercation. We would like to keep you informed, up close and personal if you will, of what happened just after the bell ending the second round. In an episode of incredible mettle, the faculty simultaneously exchanged their trunks. Then suddenly, some left the stadium to move on to different rings and new battlegrounds, and others just retired to the corner and wandered about aimlessly. I don't know, Howard. It didn’t look too aimless to me.” Did I ask for your opinion, Ali? Anyway, fans, follwing the bell ending the second round, the class made a sudden dash to a huge, sprawling Ivy League university where they were locked up in rooms either cold enough to store meat or hot enough to broil it. We're not too sure about what followed folks, but our sources tell us that the class was interrogated until they confessed all basic medical science knowledge. We do not know if they were tortured at all — but we do believe so from the look on their faces as they left the rooms. Look Howard, the class is reentering the stadium. Right you are. Champ. And every single one of them is smiling. Maybe they all just had sex. I strongly doubt it, Champ. But perhaps ... wait a minute folks ... a bulletin has just been handed to me ... It explains why they are smiling ... According to this bulletin, the class has just been informed that they can begin Round Three! • BONG • ... Ahhhh . .. The year before THE year. We’ll take it easy, won’t we? No problems, no hassles, right? We’ll all be able to concentrate on clinical learning, and, in our spare time, residency paranoia, right? After all — no more grades — who can worry with pass fail? It will be a very good year, right? Wrong, Neurology breath! This was a mathematical year; many plusses, plenty of minuses, lots of division, and binomial multiplication (read — double crosses). Amazingly, there was no equal in this equation year. The fractions were simple. You begin the year as half a doctor, and end it as three-quarters a doctor. The year’s courses demonstrated an example of reverse alchemy. Gold was turned to lead. The throwaways became major, and the Majors became Captains. Surgery was ... well, Surgery. 'Nuff said. PVD, Internal Medicine, Traumatology, and, despite the course logistics. General Orthopedics, were all B.T. courses (’Bout Time). Dermatology was a big little course taught by a funny little man who never ever removed his hat or his pipe. What was in his pipe? Comparing his lecture notes with his exams left little doubt. Speaking of pipes, we all sat in amazement watching a funny basketball player teaching us Anesthesiology. And, because our necks were cranked back so we could see this instructor — we never did find out who taught Community Health. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Statistical Epidemiology ... And then, there was Neurology ... Psychiatry was a crazy (get it) mix of ballet and insecurity. Orthotics and Prosthetics was just crazy (I can see it now: Mrs. Jones, your case of Ewings can be easily treated with a SCRTC slash-two, three, four, and a prescription for MOLO, T.I.D. ) .... And then there was Neurology .... God did not rest on the eighth day as we all have been told. After He created the earth and the planets and the stars, put creatures on the earth to graze in His meadows and drink His water, created the beautiful mountains and canyons and all the lovely flora ... He created Newmans. Thousands of Newmans. Billions of Newmans. Droves of Newmans. The Bible should have read The Newmans shall inherit the earth. And all of them either taught at PCPM or were talked about by those who taught at PCPM ... And then, there was Neurology ... Podopediatrics was taught by a brash, young instuctor, who moved up and down the classroom aisles like Monty Hall. Would YOU make a deal for one of these three doors knowing that behind one of them is Blount's disease? The course was an interesting two hours crammed into one. And none of us got zonked . ... But then, there was Neurology ... Mister Rogers managed, somehow, to leave the neighborhood once a week to teach us Sports Medicine. Can you say. Basket weave Gibney dressing? Sure you can. I knew you could. A nice man. A nice course . . But, then there was Neurology. The Vietcong missed out. They overlooked the nastiest of all tortures. It was Russian Roulette with 22 bullets — eleven of which were real. But, somehow, our stalwart determination and prowess of denial got us through the mess. The postscript read: Hooray — the hostages have been freed! • BONG • All I can say about that round, Ali, is ‘Whew!’ I wish it were all you could say, Howard.” Well, Champ, I'm afraid it is. You see we have to return to our network stations briefly for a new game show. EXTERN. EXTERN — READ ALL ABOUT IT! DEPT. This was an embarrassing game show that even Chuck Barris turned down, The Extern Lottery. (Applause, applause) And now. your host and Master of Ceremonies, Art Fleming. (Applause, applause) Thank you, audience. As you know the Extern Lottery is a game where the ability to concentrate pays off. And the student who receives all of his or her first-choice programs wins the grand prize — seven million dollars!!! (Applause, applause) And as you all know, contestants, this has never been done. So here we go folks, let's play the Extern Lottery. (Applause, applause) . . . I’ll take Northlake for fifty. Art .... YOUR HIT PARADE DEPT. Here you'll find enough diversion to keep this prose minorly interesting. Okay, now EVERYBODY! GOIN’ WITH IT (to the tune of Ballin' the Jack ) First you take your test pad And hold it tight Skive it to the left And bevel to the right Add some Naugahyde so they look real nice Then pour yourself some Bourbon (Throw away the ice!) Stick ’em in the wrong shoes And then you say “Listen, little lady These don't work anyway And then you charge 'em so much That they go throw a fit And that's what I call Goin' with it If the patient then says, My feets still ache Look ’em in the eye And proceed to make A Molocovered insole (affix it with glue) And you'll find that Dr. Hymes Will be proud of you. If you crave some more dough Then use (J.M.O.'s Make sure you squirt some Voltex On the patient's clothes And if your patient says. You're a dumb little twit You just say, Look. I'm goin' with it Cavus pads and heel pads. They make good sense Specially if you owe a few Car payments. And the patients love 'em Cause they look real fine. (These dummies think they work It’s matter over mind!) Use these little tips And watch your practice grow If someone asks you who said so Just say I don't know! If you take my advice In a Rolls Royce you’ll sit ’Cause you were always Goin’ with it! WONT YOU COME HOME BILL BOWMAN (to the tune of Bill Bailey ) Won't you come home Bill Bowman? Won’t you come home? Things here are too damn right! Remember that air conditioner You set on High On that cold winter night? And all those lights were working It’s not the same (Like a beer that has lost its foam) Please say it’s a lark I liked working in the dark! Bill Bowman woncha please come home! Won't you come home Bill Bowman? Won't you come home? Your stunts were kinda neat. It’s now the middle of summer It's ninety degrees You'd best turn on the heat. The coffee machine is working It’s really sad. There's no rust on any chrome. Say you'll come back up I liked coffee with no cup! And now, a real song written by Irving Berlin in 1924 feelings during the Summer of 1980. Bill Bowman woncha please come home. Oh please come back Bill Bowman! Won’t you come home? The cjocks are all set right Remember that rainy evening You said Don't fret This building's sealed tight! That's when the leaking started And we called you up -You fell asleep on the phone! Come back for Goodness sake I liked working in a lake! Bill Bowman woncha please come home r his Music Box Revue. Incredibly, it captures our LAZY — Irving Berlin (1924) Lazy, I wanna be lazy, I wanna be Out in the sun With no work to fce done. Under the awning they call the sky Stretchin’ and yawnin' I'll let the world go drifting by. I wanna peep through the deep Tangled wild wood Counting sheep 'till I sleep Like a child would. With a great big valise — full Of books to read Where it's peaceful While I'm killing time Bein' lazy. CLASS STRUGGLE DEPT. IV ROUND FOUR This is Howard Cosell once again with my analyst, Muhammad Ali, ready for the big Final round. I see you got your toupee groomed during the break, Howard. Yes, Ali. Several PCPM faculty members told me where to go. I’ll tell you where to go, Cosell. Tell me, Champ, what do you expect to see in the final round of this nip and tuck brawl?” A lot of nipping and tucking. BONG Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It was September the second. Letters we received over the summer told us not to miss registration. It would b the last time we would all be together. Is that why only fifty people showed? Dr. Bates gave us his annual pep talk. Where have we heard that before? How about September 1979, 1978 and 1977? We were then handed our registration packets complete with our schedules for our fourth year. What a shame we never had a course in cryptology so that we could figure it all out. We were introduced to the new kid on the block. Dr. Burns ( Say goodnight. Grade”) who quickly announced the formation of 8:00 AM Orthopedics conferences. Just like in Surgery. Ah . . . who liked sex in the mornings anyways? Dr. Burns introduced another innovation at PCPM — the instant evaluation. Now you didn't have to wait until the semester ended to find out what an idiot you were. Can I have your signature, Doctor, so I can discharge my patient? (Scribble, scribble, evaluate, evaluate) ZIPPP! I'm giving you an AVERAGE' on your last sentence. As a fourth year student you should know proper grammar. It's, May I have your signature,' not, Can I.’ Dr. Burns gets an 'AVERAGE' for his idea. Otherwise, the clinic offered its same cache of games. In Diagnosis it was Cherchez la Clincian,” and in Surgery it was Hustle la P 6 A’s. Lee's familiar voice rang out over the PA system (Is it Lee, or is it Memorez?): twelve for Orthopdeics. six for Surgery, seventy four for PM. and a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich to go. Hold the Mayo scissors! Happy news. The building’s steadfast cleaning woman successfully underwent delicate surgery to have a telephone receiver removed from her right ear .... And the Xerox machine was still broken .... There wasn’t much in the way of classes — as anybody who went to those classes could tell you. Dr. Zulli presented us with a novel way to read X-Rays ( Look at them! ), Dr. Hymes taught us a few more initials, and Dr. Rega, et. al., taught us how to be excellent surgeons, provided our patients were cadavers. And sometime after the classroom hours, the clinic, the allieds, the labs, and all the rest, it happened — the transformation. Dr. Frankenstein was completed. Out of a lifeless mass of tissue was created ... A DOCTOR. It was a long time coming. BONG BONG BONG-BONG And that's it. Ladies and Gentlemen, the fight is over! After a long and sometimes unruly battle, both combatants have returned to their respective corners. What did you think of the last round, Ali?” Well, Howard. I give it easily to the class. They breezed through that final round. Maybe the Faculty gave in a little realizing that some of them will be on their side in the near future. Possible, Champ. Anyway . .. here comes CASPR the friendly, but overpriced referee with the decision ... and ... it’s for THE CLASS!!! The Class of 1981 wins!!! They'll probably celebrate by running up the steps of the Philadelphia Academy of Music. Well, folks, that's it from Philadelphia. Stay tuned for Leonard Nimoy in In Search Of ... The Class of 1985.'

No words can express my feelings for you; I only hope that you are as proud of me as I am of you. My warmest wishes for success and happiness to all my friends; our real challenge has yet to come. 41 Nelson E. Erlick, D.P.M. We stand triumphant upon the zenith of our achievements. Tempted to extol apparent insurmountable barriers crossed. And burrow into secure, unchanging plains of oblivion below. We risk painlessly losing sight of the Truth and our place in the Cosmological Triumvirate: The Inanimate. Life, and the Power That Creates. 42 Edward A. Fazekas, D.P .M. 4J Michael Z. Fein, D.P.M. I would like to thank my Mother, Father, and Family for their love, help, and guidance through these last four years. To my friends, thanks for being there during the hard times as well as enjoying the good times with me. To make a dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence - a faith in the dream. Hans Selye, M.D. Harvey F. Fishel, D.P.M. Here with me is my wife Linda, and our daughter Arianne. They belong here as much as I. We have weathered these four years together. They helped me laugh when I felt like crying, try when I wanted to quit, and succeed when it seemed impossible. I thank them for their love, understanding and encouragement. May the years ahead hold as much happiness, love, and joy as we have shared through these past four. My love to my family, I thank God for them. 45 46 Carla B. Gerstenberg, D.P.M. v: •V' n 4' Jeffrey J. Gill, D.P.M. My four years of living in center city was quite an experience for me. There was always something going on. whether it be the pretzel vendor pushing his cart, hawkers plying their wares, magicians marveling the crowds with their card tricks on milk boxes, or people dancing in the street. The fraternity that I had lived in at 1025 Spruce Street. Phi Chi, was my home away from all aspects of scnool. My survival in school depended on the many social events through the Frat. All in all. it was a hard four years and everyone in the class of 1981 deserves congratulations and good luck in the coming years. J.G. 48 Sheldon J. Goldberg, D.P.M. Hymn of the Universe Night Is A Song Where Thoughts Are Born And Merge With The Tide Of Time And The Queen Of Night, While Sitting On Her Throne, Sets The Music For The Dance Of The Stars Whose Bodies Take On The Souls Of All Those Who Have Ever Loved And Lived In The Progression Of Times Past. Come Now And Enter This Night. A Land Where All Souls May Join And When The Night Is Very Still. Save For The Whisper Of The Wind. A Song Is Heard So Sweet That Heaven Itself Proclaims Its Majesty. Sheila Goldberg 49 Vincent N. Grattolino, D.P.M. Happiness cannot come from without, it must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy: it is that which we think and feel and do. first for the other fellow and then for ourselves. Helen Keller To my future wife. Marlene, whose love, understanding. and devotion have inspired me to become a better and more knowledgeable person. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my parents, who have made these last four years at PCPM possible.____________________ 50 51 52 53 Kevin M. Healey, D.P.M.

To Peter, baby you are the greatest. To all my colleagues: congratulations, best wishes for health, happiness, and success. You understand that anatomy is not destiny. Choosing destiny is destiny. 58 59 60 61 62 63 In first year my dream was to become a second year student. In second year the dream changed to only be a third year student with Microbiology and Pharmacology something of the past. In third year I sometimes wondered whether Neurology and Dermatology would be that insurmountable hurdle. Now as a fourth year student. I feel it is time to offer some words of gratitude. First, and most importantly, to my parents whose love, understanding, emotional and financial support made this all possible. Next to JoAnn who gave me her love and encouragement. Then to a wonderful faculty, a tough administration, fine friends, and Charles, a great roommate. To my classmates who shared and helped me through some difficult times, I wish all of you the best of luck. I'd like to end with a quote from the Talmud. “If one claims that he worked diligently and he succeeded, then you should believe him. David Z. Kreiser 1981 6-« Ilene Krems, D.P.M. As I graduate from PCPM I would like to say thank you to my family who continually gave me a tremendous amount of both financial and emotional support, asking nothing in return except to be able to say that their daughter little sister is a doctor. I also want to thank the kind-hearted friends that I met here for making my four years so much better-especially David and Elliott for innumerable pep talks, early morning wake-up calls, study strategies, and shared fears and hopes. Lastly thanks to Aldo for his unselfish dedication to making it easier for the rest of us to pull through. Good luck to everyone. 65 66 67 68 69 David E. Marcinko, D.P.M. On this memorable occasion of becoming a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, it gives me great pride to acknowledge and thank my wonderful parents for their constant love and encouragement throughout these four long years. Without their many sacrifices and steadfast support, my dreams of long ago would never have become this reality of today. Mom and Dad; Congratulations on your achievement-We made it!— Your Loving Son, Dr. David E. Marcinko 70 James B. McGuire, D.P.M Warn those who are rich in this world's goods that they are not to look down on other people; and not to set their hopes on money, which is untrustworthy. but on God who, out of it's riches, gives us all that we need for our happiness. Tell them that they are to do good, and be rich in good works, to be generous and willing to share- this is the way they can save up a good capital sum for the future if they want to make sure of the only life that is real. Jerusalem Bible 1 Timothy 6: 17-19 72 Ir 73 74 '5 “Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go. One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release. Dan Fogelberg To my parents and the troops who were there at the forks in the road, when I was tottering with indecision, when I was happy and sad, all my love and appreciation for caring to be there. 76 77 78 79 80 81 Marc A. Notari, D.P.M “For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length.

It is hard to condense my feelings of love and gratitude for my wife, Grace, into a small, concise paragraph. She helped me to endure the long years of school and instilled in me the confidence to achieve my present and future goals. She worked all kinds of hours so as to keep us financially stable. However, the greatest joy she brought to me during these four years was the birth of our daughter. Kathryn. To my girls: I love you both. My gratitude and love also extends to our families, especially my parents, for their support and encouragement. 121 Gerard V. Yu, D.P.M.

DAHDAH Webster’s dictionary defines success as “an accomplishment of a purpose: one who has prospered or won high standing.” There is no better example of this very definition, than you John. You love life and live it to the fullest. When times get rough, as they sometimes do, you manage to laugh and only try harder. When times are good you want to live and not merely survive. Each and every task, no matter how small, displays the best you can do. for leaving a situation a bit better than you found it, has been so much a part of you. You take your strengths and attributes and share them with all. So many people have been the recipient of your goodness. Love, warmth and character fill the very thing that keeps your being functioning. You have earned the respect of people and respect people for what they are. You have learned that each person sees life through a different spectrum. Above all, success, is not necessarily a word defining only a monetary status, but a goal in life. Goals set by you. What makes you so, uniquely you- Is these purposes or goals contain Respect, Love. Honor and Intelligence. AND THAT MY DEAR. IS WHY YOG ARE A SUCCESS Good Luck, Love, Kim 193 r?

Costanzo m MEMORABLE QUOTES “When do you flex your toes?” “Obviously” “What am 1, a mystic?” “Ask God” “It’s better to come late, then never to have come at all.” “If 1 wanted to be a computer, I would have gone to computer school.” “1 like it, lets go with •. � it. “How do you get the cast into the shoe?” “Everything is going to be alright.” “What is an acre?” “You all know the consequences of cheating? NorthlakeH!” “You’re a great class; 1 love you all” “What mammal does not have a pineal gland?” “You guys are going to be big in Podiatry.” “What is Manny’s middle name?” “Who are the Metazoans?” “Who are the Assassins?” “Good afternoon, Doctors and Ladies.” “How would you like this to walk in at 8:00 in the morning?” “Surgery is a lot like sex.” “Gee-zu” “For sure!” “Don’t give thyroid to an Addison.” “Where is the eye at the end of your finger?” “Vaxing and vaning” “It’s an emotional thing with me.” “Who is the Duke of Doubleknit? The Prince of Polyester?” “Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fein, Dr. Howard.” A Way of Life To hear the sound of raindrops and not to curse the rain; to see one who is better than thyself and not embrace disdain. To give to every man as your brother asking nothing in return; to study for the sake of knowledge and to quench the thirst to learn. To revel in the delights of a gourmet meal without concern to cost; to wage contest with valor and honor undaunted that you lost. If this can be your way of life then truly lucky you shall be; for you'll have peace of mind and soul and your life will be free. J. R. Christina
