I Rcnieinber When ....

ings maybe five or ten years ajiart
tend to ruii together.
Who can forget the round-the-
clock sessions in the old intern’s
lounge when the family was small
enough so that almost all the House
Staff and even occasional upi)er staff
could be found there between calls....
We played everything, but nothing
ever ()uite eciualled the zest with
which Watt Eagle and Oscar Hansen
led us through sessions of spank-tail-
liearts.
It is too bad that most of the stories
told of the old intern’s ((uarters or
its successor at Cary Crutchfield’s
can’t be printed here, but many leg
ends have grown up around such
characters as Peck Freeman, Jim Wil
son, “Cold-Dope” Parrish, Roland
Bellows, “Pop” Joyner and many
others too numerous to mention. . . .
Remember Dr. Davison’s comment to
the shocked campus ])oliceman who
telephoned the Dean at home to re-
I)ort finding a bottle, of all things, in
an intern’s room?
No mention of the lighter side of
the development of the Hospital and
Medical School is complete without
mentioning another institution which
has continued throughout almost the
same si)an of years and has contrib
uted so many j)leasant hours to so
many of us. Josh Turnage, a legend
in himself, rightly considered him
self almost a part of our organization.
He catered faithfully to our taste for
])ig and trimmings until his death and
his nephew Jimmy Warren continues
in his footsteps. ... No small addi
tion to our enjoj^ment at Turnages
for many years was the singing of
our grou[) of orderlies known as “The
Four Internes.” They set a standard
for close harmonizing which con
tinues to be a tradition among gradu
ates of our Administrative Program
wherever they meet together; even
today.
Remember some of the big parties
and dances? Particularly the P.D.C.
ones before the family became so
large we couldn’t have them any
more , . . and the super-colossal one
we had to send oft’ the 65th for their
long “vegetating” ]>eriod—at Fort
Bragg. Those were the days, all
right, but it is doubtful whether we
could live through them again, or not.
Yes, the first (juarter century has
been fun and we all have memories
of big things and little things which
belong to us alone. The good part
is; that this is only the beginning.
We continue to share with a con
stantly renewing grouj) the same
ideals and purposes and a new set of
experiences which will look as good
to us after a second (juarter century
as the first ones do now.
From the Auxiliary
