SENIOR PASSING PARADE Yes, we are about to begin. Those words may sound foolish when we know that the end of our career is approaching. Even though we have just about completed an entire curriculum, we are only entering upon the beginning. Perhaps we should say that we have completed the introduction to our life ' s work. Therefore, now we are about to begin. We have much to which we can look forward. However, let us pause momentarily to recall a few memories from the past. It seems as if it were only a few months ago that we entered the doors of the Temple University School of Chiropody. On the other hand, we have within us the feeling that we have been part of this practically all our lives. Nevertheless, the fact still remains that we have completed four scholastic years of study in the record time of three calendar years—our class being the first in the history of the school to be able to boast of such an accomplishment. Whether we think in terms of three years or four, it makes no difference. It just seems incredible so soon we are to graduate into a world knowing that we have the means to help others. It seems that we have been so interested in our work and in each other, we haven ' t taken time to realize that our college life is about to end. The records may indicate a conclusion. However, its memories will be with us forever. We can ' t and won ' t forget Chiropody balls, class parties, fraternity affairs, examination hysterics, dissection month, first week in clinic, and other such memorable events. We started with a class of fifty. It took a war to cut our number down to fourteen. However, it seems that no obstacle has ever been too great for our class to overcome. Now who are these folks who are members of this unusual Senior Class? Well, we include Nan who is never too tired for work; Marjorie Cohen, who loves playing cards almost as much as Chiropody; Frances Gamble, who is a mint of sincerity and ability; Doris Gedney, who is a little cargo of dynamite; Helen Gray, who is tops in congeniality; Marie Hare, who is chuck full of enthusiasm and glamour; Marty Hirsh, who counts State Boards in his sleep; Jack Kleger, who is never without a genial smile; Claudia Kupchinsky, who gleams with two-fisted delightfulness; Thelma who is on top with aptitude and beauty; Al Nissenbaum, who is small in stature, but big in ideas; Clara Plant, who is delightfully demure and diligent; Fred Shea, who is the finest president a class ever had; and Regina Wrobleski, whose middle name should be Tops. Yes, we are fourteen diligent, laughing, and cheerful members of one big happy family. We have made everlasting friendships during the past few years—not only among ourselves, but with our teachers as well. We thank Dr. Krausz for his helpful direction and able teaching. We thank Dr. Rowe for his guidance as our class adviser. We thank our professors, instructors, and clinicians for the wisdom, ideas, and knowledge which they have bestowed upon us. As far as we are individually concerned, it is with reluctance that we go on our way. However, we also have that certain enthusiasm and eagerness to meet a foot-sore pubic whom we hope to make well and happy. Because we know that we are about to help others, we go forth with great ambition. Wherever, we may be whatever we may be doing, let us always remember the wise words of our beloved Professor Clapp: Success does not depend upon height or beauty. Accomplishment is derived primarily through intelligence, personality, and ability. ALVIN M. NISSENBAUM, Senior Class Historian.
