SPECIALTIES OBSTETKICS In this department of the hospital robed in eye-catching Kelly green, we spent three mem- orable months. It was here that the wonder of birth was first unveiled to us and our hands soon became skilled in offering calm reassurance and giving tender loving care. We were enlightened about the world of the infant and soon became aware that each baby is indeed an individual even at this early stage of life. Working here was indeed an enjoyable experience for the joy- ous moments were many and rewarding and will hold a plate in our memories forever. Is it coming through loud and clear? This might feel a bit cold! How much docs it weigh? 17

Preparing a speci for under the microscope: And now for your undivided attention. EDUCATION BUILDING Within the two classrooms located in the Education Building along with the library we made our first exploration into the world of medicine. Professional ethics as well as basic procedures were first learned here so that with the onset of clinical experience our skills could be tested. Material from daily lectures bv doe- tors and instructors was absorbed and sealed in our memories as a storehouse of knowledge for the future. 16

SPECIALTIES— Continual PEDIATRICS Here we entered the domain of the child-not the well, healthy child but that of the ill one. We learned the responses of these small heings to their conditions and surroundings and how we could help to meet their needs. Growth and development was studied closely along with factors which may alter or delav it. Many little friends were made here, for when shown love, understanding, and honesty the children usually responded at once, in spite of their illnesses, with trust and faith. Whoops, something slipped! Saj ' heese. Are tin hot? 18
