. . .THE GRIM MOMENTS As we look back, we remember the grim moments. Those were our dark hour, when nothing went right, and nothing seemed to fit. We found that we’d taken a dunking, and to some it was scary. We worked so hard, and seemed to learn so little, that frequently we just did not seem to be ourselves. The lectures were so fast, and the educational experience so furious, that everything appeared as a blur. Some of us were pushed to the edge from all of the pressure. No matter which way we turned, something always seemed to prevent our progress. Marty is pushed to the edge. Bill recovers from a dunking.

Although we felt that the world should stop when we entered medical school, and be ready to start again when we left school, it did not work that way. Time continued to pass, and it was evident with the procession of birthdays. Romance found its way into the lives of some class members, and marriage followed. The sporting world didn’t stop, either.
