Last go-rouncll The graduating class of 1947 is ma- triculated in its terminal semester. We'uns, that is. Following our junior year, the class received a six months' vacation incident to deceleration. The members worked on the V.D. survey, took hospital jobs, rested, traveled, etc., and were ready to return to school last fall. This year has been wonderful. Oh, if we were inclined, we could say that obviously the only reason that half of the class is now married fno offense, ladiesl is that it takes a full-time secre- tary to figure out the senior's schedule, and to get him to class on time. Or we might observe that this is the only hos- pital we know of where surgical spe- cialties means E.E.N.T., N.S., Plastic, and Post-polio. We could hint that we are a little disappointed when we see the yawning, empty wards, while every- one from a resident's mate 2C on up has an office. But we won't say those things. We'll say, rather, that we appreciate very much the instruction given us by each of the services. The staff men have given a great deal of their time to fur- ther our education, and we want them to know that we shall make sure that their time was not wasted.

Dr. Lowe quietly unravels a snarl of rare syndromes, and makes the diag- nosis in a matter-of-fact manner that rivals the poise of Buddha. Then Dr. Bayley, on ward rounds, approaches a patient with a quiet, understanding smile of reassurance, and in a few well-chosen words obtains significant infor- mation that you've tried for hours to uncover. He dis- cusses the case, and quietly moves on to another bed to repeat the performance. It is then that you begin fully to realize that after all, you are NOT a Hdoctorf' that even though you MAY at a future date receive the right to place D. after your name, you, in your mind, will not assume that title until you are convinced that you are living the highest ideals that are-Medicine.

We're trying to get in a few hands be- tween babies-newborn, that is. We've had a couple of good parties this year, but everybody is looking forward to the gala dinner-dance of the year, the 'Senior Party, which will be the night after graduation. And then there's the time Boot lost his pants in surgery, setting some sort of a new unveiling record. All in all, we've had a very pleasant and profitable four years, and, barring complications, Iune 2, 1947, will see seventy exuber- ant young M.D.'s eagerly looking forward to internship and the practice of medicine. -M, K.
