On the first day of orientation we sat in the auditorium looking at a polyester sea of future dentists, all clean, cropped and captivated. The administration told us we were the cream de'la creme. We were told that the most difficult part of the quest of the D.D.S. was over, we had been ACCEPTED. CThe first lie was laid on us.J As we squirmed in our seats, little did we realize what lay in store for us. Our first semester was filled with cadavers f Where's the hymen on this one? J, carvings, Krebs cycle and Kupffer cells Cphagocytic cells lining liver sinusoids - how could you forget?J. We each have our personal memories of the Gross Anatomy labs and lectures. Our eagerness to discover the workings of the human body left a feeling of awe which was sometimes dampened by numb fingers, gloves with holes Cl hope the same company that makes those gloves doesn't make condomsj and that smell you could not get rid of till you laundered all clothing. Dental Anatomy started out simple enough: all we had to do was learn how to identify the teeth. When only one person passed the tooth l.D., Dr. Patterson discovered the anatomy gods had dumped on Him. Dr. Patterson proceeded to return the favor. We were His great experiment CSan Antonio, you gonna get some anatomy at lastly. He would show the world His greatness by turning 152 schmucks into fslightly fewerj cone clones.

The Christmas party let us blow off a semester of steam. The Romco dental school adaptor fvaseline not includedb, the Aggie yell and the dance of the uterus provided entertainment. Next year barf bags will be provided. By the time we endured our freshman year we had seen many changes: our class roster had shrunk smaller than Dan Nloore's pants, Dr. C. was still trying to find out who wrote the cat story Cno,.l didn't write ity, and the rumor mill was smoking more than Dr. Sisca. l hope during the summer l can mug enough little old ladies to pay for my sophomore year fi 7 FRESHMA 44 I
