Ah-hl At last we're Seniors. Dignilied, honored, awesome Seniors with lots of time to do every- thing! N0 tests, no labs, nothing to worry aboutl Brother, don't believe it! That's all been changedl Take for example Medicine Clinic. You go down to OPD every morning six mornings a week. You're supposed to be there at 8:00 Cpreferably 7 230D and stay until noon ftheoreticallyj. Of course, on Saturdays you can leave at 10:00 Ctheoreticallyj if you Want to make C. P. C. It has been rumored that a sure-fire way to bust the course is to leave actually at noon. Hardly anyone has been checked by noon and you're supposed to be checked before leaving. ln Nledicine Clinic you learn how to handle patients. Actually and more concisely, you learn how to control patience. During one-half the Senior year, Saturday afternoons are yours. That is unless youlre on O. B., emergency call, orthopedics or behind in your laboratory work. The other half of the year, you spend Saturday afternoons in Norman. Transportation? Well, that's your problem. VVhen Cand ifj you return from Norman, you can loaf around until lVlonday morning. That is unless you're on O. B., emergency call, Orthopedics, stuck with a new patient or behind in your laboratory work. Oh yes, that laboratory work. The Great Exalted Privilege of Doing Laboratory YVork, or . . . lvhy Should Technicians Bother? Every time you get a new patient Crather frequentlyj you are privileged to do the U. A. and C. B. C. It has been said that this stimulates your interest, improves your technique, and increases your knowledge. VVell, if the urine ever got to the laboratory, if you could find any test tubes, litmus paper, reagents, slides, cover slips, alcohol, matches, stain, centrifuge tubes, sed rate tubes, immersion oil, hemo- globinometers, or anything else, such might be the case. Then there are Surgery Clinics. livery time a Senior would ordinarily have some spare time, they throw in a Surgery Clinic. The name of every Senior who could be home sleeping, reading or studying is put down on the roll book up in Surgery. The Clinics consist of calling that roll. However, when you finally struggle through that last year, when you look back over everything, it's mighty nice to be a Senior. lt's nice to know that you have complied with enough rules and regulations, that you have seen enough patients, attended enough classes, taken enough tests, seen enough operations, felt enough prostates, palpated enough abdomens, heard enough rales, run enough UA's, counted enough cells and delivered enough babies to get through the place. Yeah, all-in-all, itls been fun. Welcl seriously recommend it to anyone . . . anyone who wants that coveted degree, Doctor of Nledicine. - NIARK JOHNSON

lllllllf -IAUNDICIC . . . is considered a member of every class at O. U. Med. School. He goes to class, goes on field trips and eats with the studentsg yes, he even sleeps with them Cin the elassroomsj. In tact many Professors elziixn that he is more attentive than some of his classmates. Some even go a step farther and think falthough they haven't said so directlyj that he is a little smarter than the general run of hledieal Students. Up until his sensational hit while eo-starring with Ed. Nl. Fugate in the Grid- iron, Jaundieels greatest feat was considered to be the time he bit Dr. Hopps after a 3M hour lecture. For this he won the everlasting envy and admiration of the Sophomores.
