Freshman Class The class of 1956 is 103 stroiif; iiuludiiif; four niciiil)ers of the gentle sex. Although predominaiitK (■oni|)osc(l of Marv- landers, this number includes students from all |iarls of the I nited States and her possessions: from Maine to Puerto Kico and from the Atlantic to the sunny isle of Hawaii in the Pacific. The list of alma maters of the class members reads like a Who ' s Who of American (Colleges. Among those r ' |)rocMlc(l are Yale. Princeton. William and Mar . Mrown. and Washington and Lee. not to forget the fighting irislmuiri from Notre Dame or the stale college contingents from I lah and West Virginia. (iolleges in all parts of Mar lanil are represented including, of course, the University of Marx land. Johns llupkin--. l.cp ola. Western Maryland. Morgan and Washington (inllcgc. On (he whole the I47th class of the meilical sclniol is oimger than its r ' c ' nt predecessors and the percentage of eterans and married men is consideraliU lower. However, we do boast of representatives from all branihes of the ser ice. As for the marital situation, one of our nuMubcrs walked ihc aisle during the recent school vear and sexeral more ha c inadc plans for being married this Spring. The extra curricular aclix ities of the class lia e co ered a wide field of endeavor. There are few hospitals in the cit that do not boast of one of the class mendjers serving in one capacity or another. The class as a whole was an acti ( ' one. alwa s being well re|)re- sented at the school dances and and)ilious enough to present a Christmas dance in conjunction with the School of Nursing, and a Spring outing also. We hope to make these annual affairs. The class of 1956. although a higliK active one. is also a highly studious one and we are proud of our accoiTiplishments this vear. To Doctors Figge. Krahl. Schmidt. Amberson and finesinger. and to the members of their ilepartmenls we are profoundlv grateful. This ear has been a verv enlightening one and we are looking forward to the next three with renewed vigor. We sincerelv hope to succeed in our endeavors as students and upon completion of our training to be a credit to our school and profession. medirtil school.
