.-.-... 2. SUPERINTENDENT OF INFIRMARY L RALPH W. EDWARDS, D.D.s., F.A.c.D. ITH the title of Doctor one is privileged to teach his fellowman to live longer, look better, and be happier. Although, constantly battling tempera- ment and often seeing his sound advice met with indifference, he must serve as best he can, whenever he can. For Dr. Edwards this title is doubly significant. He must supervise the train- ing of the future Doctors of Dentistry and see that they are capable of serving their clientele in a manner becoming the Dental Profession.

is our time. Each day is OUR DAY, but if we allow the frivolous affairs of life to take possession of us or if we accept the temptations of mental apathy, we will not be on hand to take part in the affairs of OUR DAY. V The genuine affairs of life are mighty, almost frightening if we are possessed with timid souls: but if we have courage, imagination and action, our day will be filled with worthwhile reality. Recreation, social activity and a sense of humor are also necessary for a fruitful day. We should cultivate our sense of humor- it will help us over many obstacles, prevent many conflicts and make the road smoother. Good nature and clear thinking are successful partners. Procrastination is the most active opposition to a successful day. What a lot of it is in our midst! And then we wonder why, why did we succumb to its temptation, why can't we move onward though we have failed? But even procrastination is no reason for failure. Although we can not have the fruits of the day that is lost, we must remember that THIS DAY IS OUR DAY. Rally again and again and again if necessary. Timid soul, procrastinator, shirker-there is no time nor place for you. Those at your side will crowd you back and rightly so, and the only part you will play in OUR DAY will be biting the dust of the onward marchers-the valiant ones who realize the tremendous work, the glorious opportunities and the magnificent purpose of OUR DAY!

REGISTRAR NORMAN A. MOORE, A.B., D.D.s. R. MOORE perhaps has more intimate contact with the students than any other instructor. He examines their transcripts and former grades, outlines their curriculum, and instructs them during each of their first three years of school. His exactness is a Part of his personality. Everyone in his department learns sooner or later that this exactness is most essential to their speed and efficiency. He has little to say, but the thoroughness of his technique and lectures conveys a world of meaning to all who are eager to learn. It is from men like Mr. Moore that we learn to regulate our time, our efforts, and our abilities so that we might become successful in our profession. Page 21
