Years fully touted as an exam but to burn brightly and briskly (and by the hour) the oil of sweat and toil? To be sure the oil was plentifully primed with am- phetamine, caffeine and nicotine (for synergistic ac- tion, of course ) . As the flame waned the body slept, but alas, the brain still strained. Then at last — Dreamsville. Up in the morning, down in the lab they worked like devils for their places in the sun. And those lucky old sons roamed around Bressler all day. All recall some topics of the day, e.g., innerva- tion of the brain, blood supply of the maw and ulti- mate of the middle ear. In a lighter vein — intermittent balls were called for all where news and booze prevented blues. The main topic of the evening (shop talk to be sure) be- came ingrained among the strains of cha-cha-cha punctuated freely with the tinkle of ice cubes. The time flew swiftly by. The first year, like the ball, ended quickly. And too, all were tired but happy with the time and effort invested and expended — and ready for the next. 19

Kirschenbauer, Freshman By application, matriculation, registration, placa- tion and physical examination, not to mention previ- ous intensification of cerebration topped by Baccha- nelian celebration in final culmination of hopefully great expectations did these neophytes of Aesculapius thus exert themselves, scarcely realizing the pitfalls and tortuosities of the road they had so eagerly chosen. Facultatively, a silent aspiration permeated the aca- demic confines — I trust we ' ve acquired more than merely dilettantes and debutantes . At last ensconced they became entranced by the icons of anatomy, too well-known to cite and too nu- merous to count. Absorbed in the learned compendia of their chosen aspiration, these neophytes ' garments, too become absorbed ( ?aromaticaliy ). How many wished to be anosmiac! No time existed for post- prandial lethargy. The time had come to act — how else mi ht all become aware of such esoterics as Great Anastomotic Veins of Trolard ? Hopefully, many bridges were crossed before they hove into view. How else could one gird himself in defense against the formidable four-hour foray fanci- 18
