Medical School

One of the outstanding social events of the school year occurred on January 10 when the students feted the Faculty at a party which seems to have become an annual affair. Every available inch of space at the Alpha Kappa Kappa house was filled as usual, and the festivities lasted long beyond the scheduled hours. This event produces an annual increment in the number of alumni returning, especially of those who have recently acted as hosts themselves. Some of the out-of-towners in evidence in the crowd were: Ben Branch M'54; John Moran M'55; Bill Hansen M'57; Ken Herrmann M'57; Mark Cloutier M'58; Eric Jensen M'58; Erv Phillips M'58; Paul Raslavicius M'58; and Tom Watt M'58. It was a good time.
