, 1958 The history of the class of 1962 began back in the shrouded mist of 1958, when, like a flock of sheep, we were herded into the amphitheater. There Bowman Cray's own Chief Cheer- leader and Pep Squad president taught us the first verse of the BGSNI Fight Song: Now, it you have any problems at all, feel free to drop by and chat about them . . Problems we had in abundance: biochem diets QR. Siewers, prunes, and acute gastric dila- tationl, big brown jugs, histiologic sections idratl esophagus or vagina?Jg and neuroanatomy C KVith the clinical picture given, as close as I can figure, the lesion must be about 235 miles north-northeast of Kernersvillenl. XVe learned the classic pathology translations: This is an ex- tremely interesting slice tl have not the vagucst notion of what this isnig and This tumor is apparently delicately encapsulated tl have just stuck my thumb through it J, Several members of the class learned that they could get in three extra holes of golf after physiology lab by quietly clamping the dog's endotrachial tube thirty minutes after the experiment began. Wednes- day afternoons off were a lost cause and several Friday lectures were cut short due to certain addictions to T.V.'s Huckleberry Hound. After a three month intermission, we returned as sophomores. ln Pathology ll, we learned of such weird and interesting things .is Eleanor Roosevelt cells , i'Rocking Xlounted Spotting Fever , and the intimate relationships between the gonococcus, salpingitis, douche bags, and flagpoles.

Toxicology was known as Uncle XVillie's Kiddies' Hour-witty stories and witty say- ings for youth of all ages . Spring arrived and with it chaos, masquerading as cleven different courses. It was quite a spring. Dogs were boiled and rabbits anastomosed in surgery, Live birth rates were calcu- lated, discussed, and just plain cussed in Preventive Nledicine. Students were seen in a living tableau representing internal rotation: Put your arms up in a circleg you're the introitus, now, l'm the kid, and I come crawling down and around like this! Physical diagnosis is left to the imagination. In lune State Boards provided an interesting little break, with long quizzes, C-ino's, the Ra- leigh Room, and Driscoll's 30 XIPH. enema on water skis. We retumed to face clinical med- icine with new whites, shiny black bags, and sweaty palms. XVith trepidation and clean trousers, we reached the KVest Hoorsg the fear remained, but the clean trousers vanish forever with our iirst gastric lavage.
