Last week, instead of being bored with Biochemistry, the girls' camp played an intramural football game. Captains, lead their team with pride as if they were trying out for the ultimate schneiding team . . . . Last night I had a terrible nightmare. I found my hand rotating around my pencil from dorsal medial distal to plantar lateral proximal. I get the feeling that I'll be playing with my pencil a lot throughout the next 3 years. Please send money!! I wish you were here. Dear Mom and Dad, Why did you send me back to camp. Mrs. Gurney, Mrs. Kay, and Mrs. Zabner didn't send their kids back. I am beginning to hate it here. Things like mandatory attendance and Micro are running me ragged. Our first activity this year was podium back diving taught by Roman Dzarski. After considerable practice, several campers could actually do this from the sitting position.

Some of our other activities of the year included a course taught by two famous celebrities. Jack Benny and Olive Oil. While Benny exposed pertinent and relevant pathologic facts, most of the kids present are betting their care packages as to how many times he will look up. Mandatory attendance became mandatory absence as activity group size fell to an all time low of about twenty. One clever camper even tried getting away with a stuffed replica of himself in order to pass roll call. Dr Arden, your lectures arc unsurpassed by anyone at this institution. We even have an activity which combines the astute knowledge of our Pathology Department with the mechanics of Airco Technical Institute. A counselor known as King Harold and his court jester. Dr. Axelrod (AKA George Smith), taught us how to park a car within the sinus tarsi of a supinated foot. Although we learned about phasic muscle activity, it was never really clear just what phase of the gait cycle the extensor phallucis longus is active. Dr. Lenny Jacobs was in charge of Wednesday mornings. We thought we were learning a lot of Pharm until we met Counselor Confusion . . . AKA Brittner. We have just been informed that Roche labs will be here on May 1st, 1999. . «r PAUL STAUNTON How the hell should we know what color the monkey's eyes were in the video tape . . . We were excused from this course.
