At first some of us were not so inclined to think, but to those who dispute the fact, ask "Wally" Andrews, he knows.
Mid-year examinations have come and gone and the results while encouraging to may, were mournful to others. P. Chem gave way to physiology and with this change the class had the misfortune of losing two of its members through illness, and some other unfortunate circumstances.
We were now introduced to the dissecting laboratory, where our would-be surgeons were given the opportunity to show their worth. Once started our demonstrators were greatly impressed with the work. But what vivid recollections the dissecting room would bring back to us, when we recall the reeling quizzes by Dr. Harris. How can anyone forget the rapid bombardment with which he would let loose his questions, without even allowing the least possibility of the student to ask a question? Ask Clarence smith and Gunthorpe, they will tell you.
Spring soon came and with it, the visions of forthcoming final examinations. Many reveled in the thought that they were then 1/4 doctors, while to others it was an awful woe. In short while it was all over and we wended our way to various parts of the country to make good the summer and assure our return in the fall.
In the fall of 1926, we reassembled, with the pomp and dignity of proud Sophomores. To the amazement of many, a few of the old faces were missing, but their places ave way to new faces in the persons of A.O. Thomas and "Woofus" Johnson.
The usual formalities of registration being over, classes were soon under way. We again found ourselves under the guidance of Pop West, this time not to dabble with bones and muscles, but to tackle the highly touted topic of topographical anatomy, the Nemesis of so many students. We were also greeted by our friend, Dr. Mitchell, for our study of therapeutics. Unlike materia medic we miss the leisurely manner with which we would swing first one arm and the the other, with pointed finger, with the call of "Dose".
Nor can we forget the blissful mornings in which we were burdened with the lengthy names and descriptions of parasites with six testes and eight ovaries and the paragonimiasis ringeri which was found in a dead Chinaman in Bombay. But withal we appreciate the time honored tale told of a former student, Sanka, and the transformation he had undergone following an effective dose of hookworm medicine.
But of far more reaching effect is our meeting with our esteemed Dr. Terry in physical diagnosis. Coincident with his lectures, stethoscopes began to appear in the limelight. To many the time had come to show to the public that they were physicians, and how can anyone forget the pomp with which so many of us prided the streets with the instruments in full view?
