Inna igiatnrg QKTQTI tFreshman ClassWl9l3-'l4j. ,..H, V V F AY it always be remembered that in the long and prosperous lj history of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, ll' A' E Maryland, that there came in the month of October, A. D., l9l3, a band of sturdy eager students possessed with everything but knowledge of medicine, to matriculate in the Freshman Class of said school. They were bold at first, nevertheless this bold- ness quickly retraced itself, and in its place there came a cold mysteriousness which always accompanies a green unsophisti- cated Freshman. This weird illusion soon vanished, to be sup- ' planted by something more exciting-the election of class officers. This was a storm where giants of speech wrestled for supremacy, yet after the last great speech had been made, after the smoke of battled ramparts had cleared away, Friendship and Peace reigned supremely. Brotherhood was soon established when we came to know each other better. Our next great trial was Ibones, known to the Sophomore Class as Oste- ologyf' The Freshman 'Class shall always remember the three great pilots with Captain Hhlackv Thorkelson, M. D., at the helm guiding us through the tubercles, trochanters, and 'tuberosities of those dry bones. Never shall the Freshman Class forget the careful, scrutinizing, watchful eyes of Dr. Stiffler and- Jennings on examination day. Then came examination in Histology or commonly called the Freshman's Graveyardf' Dr. McCleary stood there as the one great monument as we took our last slide over that terrible precipice under the microscope. NVe shall never forget his Irish wit and humor. Then came Dr, McGlone with his puzzling lfiloodclots and Guinea Pigs im- mune almost as we were immune, to the reception of knowledge. Dr. Fort shall always be remembered long after his pills and syrups are forgotten. Last but not least is the greatest chemist in the world, the cornerstone of P. 8: S., Dr. Hon. Simon. Wie beg to thank the Dean, Dr. Lockwood, for his watchful care and kind advice to us. Our greatest consolation is to watch the morning mail which brings to us letters from mother, home, and sweetheart-and once a month a check from father. ln the following are a few of the statistics that bear on the evolution of the class: Dr. Abraham, Hone of the wise men of the east who 'brought good news at Christmas. . Dr. G. H. Bloom, 'fl got back all right, boysf' Dr. L. H. Bloom. l'll be 'there boys. Dr. llogus, Hflive me a Fatimaf' Dr. lloyle tTrcasurcriJ, llc should worry Ferry-You're 'I Iootin' 'l'ootin.' 23
